It boggles my mind why these Japanese women don't read at all. Sorry, they can't read English so they can't get the full (an accurate) historical account of what REALLY went on in history. I'm afraid what one reads in Japanese in Japan just doesn't cut it in accuracy terms...

Some good ideas here but first Japan (gov't) has to start reforming it's internal political processing, structuring etc within the gov't diet etc. AND then implement these good ideas that Ohmae mentions. It won't pass the red tape line before reform takes place I'm afraid....

Anyone who is optimistic about Japan ending it's whaling hunts is terribly naive I'm afraid. It will continue you on until the new generation is much much older. Same goes for many current controversies go on now in Japan.
