It's spelled "lose", not "loose" -- I wasn't loosing any arrows or anything.

I know injapan. Samsung galaxy phone's auto word input is ridiculously lousy. I won't be buying some next time. Learned my lesson.

You did that, but then you undermined your own comments with your statement about China ("...with its airplane matters and selfish affairs").

And what's wrong with that? I said "I dunno about China", "China seems", right? It's a possibility that China will ignore, but I wasn't attacking China. LOL

As for the government refusing help by other governments, Japan is no stranger for that -- in fact, they still refuse a lot of foreign offers to inspect/help with Fukushima, let alone waiting for ages for help from the US and others after the initial disaster. In that case it was to cover up the obvious neglect until it was far too late. In the case of the ship in SK, while the government itself is not to blame for the sinking, they no doubt wanted to keep it as in-house as possible. Not a good thing, but not at all limited to SK, as I've pointed out.

Typical of you buddy! Always, "SAME WITH JAPAN, so spare us".

In any case, THIS is a chance to reach out, not an opportunity to take digs at China and South Korea.

It is! We need to deal something about your misinterpretations some other time. Let's do hope China responds something good, ok?

NK, well, given that only the day before yesterday they called the President a 'prostitute', it's not all that surprising they might not extend the reach out to NK.

Do you believe South Korea as a mature nation? Then, they should have asked North Korea with humility and ignored the childish remark.

injapan,

Oh good day! Sorry to loose your hopes on me! :-P but I'm no right winger! I was just suggesting that South Korea might also want to consider asking the nearest country to them which the dead bodies might have travelled, which is North Korea. It's a good thing that they'll ask Japan to cooperate this time which was ignored or refused to help during the time where the ship passengers might still be alive. I am only speaking about reality not right-wing/nationalism speculations that China might ignore since they've got a lot of personal business going on. Don't get too grumpy on me Mr. injapan. Cheers!

Oh gosh! She should have died. It'll be be very painful for her surviving like this.

How about NKorea? Japan can cooperate in full hospitality. I dunno about China. China seems busy with its airplane matters and selfish affairs.

Lovely! Japan is the home of the bullet train Shinkansen. It's a nice way to commemorate something that has led the world in the revolution and innovation of transportation.

I wonder how many will be in stock?

SpankiAPR. 28, 2014 - 11:54AM JST Actually China, I would be more interested in reading some of your internal documents relating to the destruction during the cultural revolution, or perhaps Tienanmen square.

B.I.N.G.O cay I give you an igloow, lalalala?! No hopes Spanki. China censors the "real stuff" and will never give out anything that is self-incriminating to the Communist government! Cases like Tibet, Tienmen square, Falun Gong, Mao's mass genocide and of course the real data on the number of victims in Nanking (if there's even one). China will never give out real history! Ever! Unless the communist party is dead! Hahahahhaha

Kyary already has a fan following in Hong Kong and Taiwan and has become popular in China through YouTube.

How is that possible????? China blocks YOUTUBE!!!!!! (O.o)p

Wrong link from the previous.

JeffLeeAPR. 28, 2014 - 08:42AM JST "....countries like Singapore and the Philippines only suffered briefly during WWII. " Where did you learn your history? Manila was flattened during the war, with 100s of thousands of civilians killed. The Manila massacre was one of Japan's leading war crimes, according to the war tribunal. Only Warsaw suffered more damage during the war. It's so depressing to go to Manila now, as basically no vestiges of the city's past remain.

Care to visit one museum? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museums_in_Metro_Manila

The Filipinos are aware but has forgiven and moved on. http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/04/27/360303/china-blasts-japans-wartime-sex-slavery/

There should be other documents out there left! China is keeping it because it's self incriminating. They can only censor the things they want to prevent them in pointing the gun towards themselves.

You cannot also overlook the possibility of fabrication. The duration of time it took for it to be released is questionable.

We know there are crimes, but the exaggeration in the magnitude of operation is extremely doubtful, like the current population at that time in Nanjin compared to the numbers of victim (given by the Chinese government) .

The CCP is no credible source of history. Countless of numerous occurrences of fact distortions and censorships. Just like the Falun Gong persecuted and Mao's mass genocide.

All of these for the propaganda against Japan. Thankfully the international community isn't taking China seriously. Communist China is always seen and forever be considered as a hoax machine.

John MasterAPR. 27, 2014 - 11:40AM JST HAHAHAHA. I thought Apple only produced high quality, non defect products? What happened to their so called quality? Lmao. My father's iPhone 4 broke 4 TIMES already within a year of getting it while my Galaxy S4 didn't even have any problems although I had it for one year or more. My friend's new iPhone 5s' screen cracked WITHIN a day of getting it. She dropped it accidentally while she was sitting on a chair. While I drop my S4 err day everyday, and I still haven't gotten a single crack on it. LOOOOL

You do realize that the phones are manufactured by the hands of Chinese workers, don't you? Hence, it's the Chinese workers' incopetence that you should laugh on.

MagnetAPR. 27, 2014 - 02:12PM JST Meh. Looking forward to the OnePlus One. Wish I could run my old iPhone through that smash and upgrade for $1 machine they used in their commercial.

OnePlus the Chinese company? No thanks! They make good commercials but the phone itself is very ugly. At least they made a good joke on Samsung's ugly phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs8yHw68FG0

Ms. President. You should resign too!

"And they deserve to be heard, they deserve to be respected. And there should be an accurate and clear account of what happened."

Yes! Mr. President. They deserve to be heard,right? But you failed to understand that there are Comfort Women elsewhere other than South Korea. If you can't address this issue in Malaysia and in the Philippines ,you won't live up to your words!

But again, it's no longer an issue in those countries, so I guess Mr. President will have to deal with the anti-US sentiments instead!http://www.reuters.com/video/2014/04/25/protests-in-philippines-malaysia-ahead-o?videoId=312728521

letsberealisticAPR. 26, 2014 - 10:42PM JST hachikouAPR. 26, 2014 - 10:20PM JST igloobuyer there was no Nanking massacre It is fact that innocent Chinese civilians were killed by ex-Japanese troop. But question is how many?? 1? 2 people? Chinese claims 300000people in Nankjin, which is impossible considering population there at that time. Asianhometown UN and rest of the world acknowledge ... You see, this is Exactly what I am talking about. Your logic is groundless. Instead of showing evidence , your logic is just "everybody says blah bla blah". Was any of UN member there at that facility during WW2? Name the witness! Show us the link. I would love to hear it. Originally Confort woman issue started from Japan not korea. Japan has been studied extensively including testimony and interview, whole nation wide debate had already done. Take a look at wikipedia. You will see the whole list of references and source of information. Recently, Koreans found diray of the man working at comfort women facility. We are looking for that kind of evidence. Unfortunatly Korean says most of context is gone, so it doens'T show the evidence that Japanese forcing sex as a slave. You want to believe that the Japanese military was no worse than any other. They weren't, they were far worse. What you and many Japanese fail to accept is that Japan committed the most heinous and inhumane war crimes above and beyond those of any other nation (and not terribly far from those of Germany). You cannot go on denying the Nanking massacre, the death railway, comfort women and torture and starvation of thousands of POW's in countries throughout Asia were fabrications. Japan, stand up, face the facts, bow humbly express genuine regret and never forget. Then, finally, we can all move on. Do nothing and Japan's isolation will only deepen.

Unrealistic BS! Worse than two atomic bombs? Worse than Mao's greatest slaughter of millions of Chinese? Your definition of the word "worse" is subjective and is limited to yourself. You always talk about facts and Mr.hachikou is providing you one but you fail to acknowledge a single. Not very realistic!

"This was a terrible, egregious violation of human rights. Those women were violated in ways that even in the midst of war were shocking,"

Can he tell this line to the Filipinos in which the Philippines is among the countries with Comfort Women? Can he bring this issue up to them too? Mr. President's words of comfort and appeal on Korea will not work the same on his trip to the Philippines.

All but pokerfaces and backstabbing! He can't win everyones heart in a deceptive manner. The Philippines though is not spoiled as South Korea. http://www.voanews.com/content/in-philippines-obama-visit-stirs-critics-of-plan-to-boost-us-troops/1900954.html

Ilgoo, Counter-productive because the REAL issue which is supposed to be the one on the topic table is weathered by South Korea's manipulations to divert and mislead everyone away from the Takeshima/Dokdo dispute.That's the real cause of poor relationship between Japan and RoK. The whole comfort women issue is all but cover-ups! Did you heard anything from Mr.Obama about the Island? None! Japan wants to settle it through the ICJ but RoK refused. Instead RoK uses propaganda about Comfort Women.

So why don't the Japanese take a page to what you are saying and swallow it about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? What you are throwing at the Koreans, the same lame logic can be thrown right back at you.

I don't believe that there are any recent demands from the Japanese government to the U.S. about the bombings. Are there? And if there is, why was it not addressed when Obama visited Japan?

You're not mistakenly generalizing the entire Japanese population and the right-wingers aren't you?

Crimson and CloverAPR. 26, 2014 - 10:53AM JST The day Japan stops whitewashing, lying about and omitting chunks of its past is the day the rest of the world stops talking about it. Those parts of atonement are more important than apologies and compensation.

The rest of the world doesn't care and give a damn! Not even the other Comfort Women victims like the Philippines. ONLY KOREA and CHINA are making the noise and they're dragging Japan and the U.S. with their whinging.

Korea and China are the real whitewasher. There are victims, true, but there are sex merchants as well. You cannot overlook every detail and say which history is true!

I really do wonder if Mr. Obama going to say the same later in the Philippines who has comfort women victims too? Well, to tell you he didn't have to and need to! Mr.Obama is just comforting the butthurted Koreans! They needed some comforting empathetic words because they cannot move on! PITY! The Philippines have forgiven Japan and now in good relationship. Why can't South Korea do the same? Are they going to whine for this forever?

They've received money and apologies. It's enough! SWALLOW IT ALREADY and MOVE ON KOREANS!

Saw it! It was awesome! A successful adaptation of the original Amazing Spiderman! A little surprise near the end about Spiderman's girlfriend but everything else is outstanding! Good Job SONY!

Watching it today after work. (;

“We are playing close attention to Japan’s relevant military trends"

Like what? Building a nuke? Another stupid excuse by China to provoke its neighbors.

Hawkeye, your conspiracy theory makes no sense!

Mr. Bieber just wanted a photo of him on a beautiful on the spot shrine, which coincidentally the beautiful Yasukuni.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UADtfyfKZ04

14 criminals vs thousands of dead! What's with that China!

By the way, his photos of Yasukuni are awesome.

Asimo you're the man!!!!! I mean you're the robot! Playing soccer with Mr.Obama kawaiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

LOL! Mr. Obama did not finished his sushi course because he was eager to talk about the trade. And Mr. Abe was like "What a nice atmosphere!" hahahaha

igloobuyerAPR. 24, 2014 - 07:44PM JST Sign, more monotonous vitriol from JT China-haters here. Can we have a little more intelligent debate? Do you see no capability on the part of Japanese companies involved in the exploitation of Chinese companies during the war? Is there convincing evidence that these Chinese companies have been fully and fairly compensated?

We'd gladly want a debate from JT Japan-haters here. The problem is that, the HATE is there. We don't want to waste our energy in a meaningless fruitless argument based on biased opinions, rhetorics and propagandas. If you got the evidences and facts, we might take you seriously. But opinion? Forget it!

letsberealisticAPR. 24, 2014 - 08:21PM JST Don't hold your breathe, most people are not interested in looking more deeply in the facts behind a news story or in a more 'balanced' perspective - you'll find most people are content with a black and white, good vs bad reality. There is certainly some culpability on the part of war-time Japanese companies and the result of this court case is a clear acknowledgement and acceptance of this. Still, I hope it doesn't become a free-for all against Japanese companies in China.

Do you have those facts and evidences yourself? How are these not facts?:

,1. The seizure undermines a 1972 joint communique that normalised ties between Japan and China.

,2. China's Supreme People's Court later rejected the Japanese firm's appeal against the judgement. CANNOT APPEAL! (Because it's Japan!)

,3. Grandchildren paying price for grandparents' mischief.

Mr.Serrano, Are you new to this island issue? It has been reported that the Senkaku island has large natural oil deposit lying beneath its surface. Before the discovery, Japan was administering it in peace until China found out about the possible hidden treasure. It was never China's interest and now their aiming it back for their greedy ambitions. Since the Senkaku island is covered by the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan, it's the U.S.'s responsibility to keep its promise.

Later Thursday, Obama plans to return to the Imperial Palace for a state dinner.

I wonder what he'll have for dinner. I'm 100% sure his dessert is something with Matcha/Green Tea. He said, he loves matcha ice cream when he was a kid.

Shame on you China! This has gotten beyond reasonable sanity! Why do you want the grandchildren suffer/pay for something the grandparents did many years ago? YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO ASIA, CHINA!

Magnus, my sentiments exactly! Online Korean and Chinese right-wingers have been attacking Mr. Bieber and threatening him for being INNOCENT! They get so butthurt and upset with an UNINTENTIONAL visit.
