I can't believe people actually swim or fish in the area anyway.

Where is Maguire's photo? Isn't he the main culprit?

Honey Trap. Been there.

@Michael Machida Ooh! Do tell!

@Boffington The stars from my location are amazing and there are over 700 species of birds spread throughout the archipelago. I think maybe you haven't been out of the city much.

The concrete everywhere is a huge problem though. The rivers are clean but because of the bloody concrete there are no fish in them.

Well, with all the semi-conductor factories being set up here and there they're going to be wanting a low yen.

@La vie douce Yeah, but the in fighting not only involves Japanese. it also involves foreigners which people on Japan Today seem to overlook when talking about the conspiracy to oust Ghosn. Two names that come to mind are Ashwani Gupta and Hari Nada.

Some shocking videos on the net of Kensington Avenue, Philadelphia if you want to get an idea of the horrific situation.

From near where I live, I can see the lights of these bullet climbers ascending the side of the mountain at night.

And people still think the government is concerned about their health and welfare! It really beggar's belief!

@Obladi This an Associated press article. It shows up on numerous other sites!

If 71.6% are worried they should march down to the ward office and get their my number card cut up! If they all did this the government wouldn't be able to do anything about it! But we all know that will never happen!

@Rodney Why were you deported?

Why do they always have to put her in the same style clothes, just a different color! I am happy they are not wasting money on designer gear but come on the jacket doesn't fit and the seam of the skirt is all puckered! Dasai!

@cleo Duh! Stupid me! Of course the harness could go on top! I had to customise my dog's harness by adding one more plastic fastener so that I didn't have to put it over his head!

She was inspired to join the JDSF after she saw the good work they did after the 2011 tsunami in Fukushima. And then her dreams were crushed by these idiots. Go Rina! Hope you win!

Most dogs live indoors and would get bitten when they are out walking, This suit has no hole for a harness and leash. And my dog would probably bite my face off if I tried to put it on him!

Probably was being bullied by the other two. Very common in the JSDF!

what a GIANT step forward from 3.5 floppy and internet explorer,faxes,hanko and windows xp to AI?

Don't other people get bored reading platitudes like this in the comments of Japantoday? I certainly do!

Nobody cares what Honduras does. It is a dump which is why everyone is trying to leave. Maybe the U.S. should put those illegal Honduran immigrants on a ship and send them to China!

Wonder where the making of the software was outsourced to. Probably C-Koku!

34 years old! No excuses, She had nine months to make a plan!

@elephant200 Are you resident of Hong Kong or China? I certainly hope so because I don"t want anybody who holds your views living in my neighborhood!

@Wolfshine Apparently he deleted most of his content and his 2 accounts were then suspended by YouTube.

Putting someone on an international wanted list for defamation. This sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Behavior I would expect from Xi Jingping, not behavior I would expect from a member of G7!

@elephant200 CCP apologists are not welcome here.

Ironically Kabuki was originally created and performed by females. You can read about it here-https://www.tokyoweekender.com/art_and_culture/japanese-culture/no-women-kabuki-theater-japan/

@Takaraszuka is a privately funded group so they can do what they want. Although I have a feeling there is a lot of dark stuff going on there that probably will come out sooner or later just like Johnny's jimusho. Shakespeare was 400 years ago. Times have changed and anyone can be in a Shakespeare play.

@Wallace Opera, classical music, ballet-anyone can join. Kabuki is only for males and people from a kabuki family. There lies the problem!

@Greenstingray Those subsidized cultural institutions that you mention in the U.S and U.K. are open to all who wish to participate. Kabuki is not!

Cheese, chips and avocado dip for lunch and a half French Kabuki actor is not going to fool us that Kabuki is willing to change. As long as females and those from outside the Kabuki families are not allowed to join I do not see why it should be subsidized by taxpayers.

@Mocheake Would be nice if it was that simple! As long as you don't have a well-paying job no Japanese girl will give a Japanese guy the time of day no matter how good he smells. If you are a foreigner however the specs required are set much lower!

@Desert Tortoise Great tip but hydrogen peroxide you buy here is so weak!

no support facilities for the elderly -

Not entirely true! In Japan there are many support facilities for the elderly but you have to reach out for it. Carers can come to the house or there are day service centres they can attend if they are able. I took care of my mother in law for 2 years and nurses would come to the house a couple of times a week and a doctor once a month. They showed me how to change dressings, change diapers, wash her hair etc. and provided much needed moral support. When you need a respite as carer the hospital would admit them for up to a month. Of course you must pay but most is covered by insurance. But it was not easy because she wasn't a very nice person in many ways. And I think there are a lot of cases like this where people are having to take care for someone (who was a bad or even abusive parent) for whom they have no love or affection.
