The old boy network in Japan still knows how to let the good times roll.

Is there a site or source that accounts for where and how all this money is spent? The Japanese economy is smoking hot

Underground water and waterways are all connected. Seepage in Fukushima will make its way to Tokyo is it isn't already there but suppose it's just like cancer. Some people will be predisposed while others will go through life unaffected by the pollution. In that way you have to admire the Japanese way of keeping calm and carrying on especially since this is so much less under their control anymore.

Amazing food culture and chefs who treat their craft like a religion married to the fact Michelin is more a business than a guide.

That's right he's back to starring and promoting his movies. Thought he might be back to get a piece of all that money raining down in Tokyo for the state of California that he helped to bankrupt.

Just goes to show that Japan still gets so much right and that Samsung is supporting it is a smart move on their part. Tokyo is still one of the cosmopolitan and yes, beautiful cities in the world bar none!

Ugh! Don't go there... Stay focused on the economy..

pochan - Don't worry they'll all be broke long before then

Yeah but their executives will be rich...

That's it. I am sure it's all under control but I am not taking any chances.

Stick it to 'em. Bye bye JAL

Go ALL IN or go home.

Tell me who has 10 seats across on a plane like that so I can avoid them please!

Nice Air Jordans

This man's photo opps are second to none! It feels like the party never ends...

I know I am going to get lambasted for saying this but Japan's reputation abroad as well as the health and integrity of its country is at stake and I have a feeling that they will surprise even the most critical thinkers on this post and get this right. For years I've heard nothing but the demise of Japan and they get back up stronger each time.

Of course JAL should sue and ask for a degree of transparency in the decision making process. I agree ANA deserves more but the government could have been a little less blatant about it.

Sad indeed that the Brits don't get it.

Too big to fail. Get really big peeps...

Is that an Apple computer in the foreground of the picture. Not cool media reporter...

How about cutting edge technology or maybe just inflight wifi for every passenger, a more aggressive loyalty program for business travelers, and greater employee diversity to reflect the world we live in.

Kyocera is a great company but it is no Apple or Samsung for that matter. The fundamentals married to Japanese cultural aesthetics are a given - ANA might even do that better and now is the time for a younger leader who can guide the company into a global leader.

Thank you Inamori-san for saving JAL from destruction but now it is time for someone who can take on the Cathays, Singapore Airlines, and Virgin Airlines (and ANAs which I personally prefer) of the world.

I wonder if Mr. Anderson has ever flown business class on JAL to New York or for that matter any ANA, Asiana, or Singapore Airlines flight. I can imagine he (and his colleagues) must have been chuckling as they added up the cost these companies invest back in their product and attention to service detail.

I don't even think his vendors in Japan fly on Delta.? Keep your efforts to expand the commoditization of air travel concept to America please.

Sickening what happens to our oceans. Sad too that it seems the only ones willing to speak truth to power are people that are no longer on the industry payroll.

Oh no, here we go again...

Does anyone here believe there will be no environmental impact?

Silly people. Doesn't Mr. Lew have to say this to placate S Korea, Europe, and most of all American corporations in abject fear over what companies like Toyota will be able to inflict on them with their record stash. Mr. Lew was actually ambivalent and offered no such rebuke the likes that China gets. Me thinks the smart money is still being bet on an ever weaker yen.

Poor lady, something must be very wrong to need food like that. Hope she gets help and a chance to get back on her feet again.

What a great place to be! Toyota is poised to dominate and consolidate their position as the world's top automaker. Great symbol of what every company in Japan and there are many greats, could aspire to.

I'd fly that plane! No way they are bringing it back without making sure it is 100%!!

I don't the fist though. Did Aso-san just beat him at Rock scissors paper?

He's going to get his way with them so at the very give Aso-san some props here peeps for getting the job done.
