bloody hell its just an anthem. not like they're insulting the emperor or anything. it might just be me being paranoid, but I see this as kind of the start of the re-rise of Japan's agrressive nationalism

That'll never happen. The Red, White, and Blue has old Nippon in check.

I don't understand this Wada guy. Obviously he knows how to paint. He has the techniques down. Why does he need to resort to copying? Lack of originality can't be an excuse.

It's in the Japanese nature not to create, but to improve what already exists. Case and point, the automobile.

What the hell is this crap? Japan wants China and Korea to quit bitching about history, yet they're holding events like this? Quit pouring salt in the wounds.

They were stolen by American agents in an attempt to rid Japan of homegrown bovine so that they could sell their diseased American cattle to Japan. Next stop, Australia.

Nothing original about that movie. It's like The Ring and BAttle Royale rolled into one. Lame.

No one wants a 60,000 yen system? I'd pay double that for a PS3. Money is not a problem.

Who's the maker of the elevator ? Sounds like another defective product allowed into the public sector. The bad news just piles up don't it. Entrance doors that crush children, asbestos laden buildings from way back when, Aneha, E-homes, now elevators that kill ! So much for public safety concerns.

You forgot Mitsubishi Fuso.

Of course he feels sorry for the Japanese, because, well...NEWS FLASH, Ken Watanabe IS Japanese. China, Korea, and some of you need to get over the whole "JApan did this, JApan did that" bs. The past is dead and gone, and what's done is done. Get over it.
