I'm a Permanent Resident of Japan, from the UK and have lived here since 1994. Japan has never been attacked by foreign terrorists and if such attack is likely it will happen overseas. Japan has been attacked by home grown terrorists. The introduction of fingerprinting is against the Japanese Constitution which affords protection to all peoples who are in Japan and not just Japanese nationals.

I hope this trouble will be resolved as soon as possible. The radiation leak will be a significant for people nearby the plant, and it has been already confirmed that it was leaked into the ocean. It seems like IAEA will be checking out, though.

Plus, this plant leakage will be affecting the travel industry a lot, because Japanese people loves to spend the cool summer in that region.

I think every plant should be inspecting their security measure and facility intensity since we can not avoid the earthquakes any way..

2007-04-23T21:30:00.000+09:00

An unusually large number of invalid votes were recorded in Sunday's mayoral election in Nagasaki City and the city's election management committee said many voted for Itcho Ito, the former mayor seeking a reelection but gunned down during campaigning. A total of 15,435 votes were judged invalid. "The largest number of them carried the name of the former mayor," an official of the election committee said.

The committee noted that a large chunk, or 7,592 votes, of those who voted before the election day were for the slain mayor. He was widely seen as the front-runner in the election until he was gunned down on Tuesday and died the following day just ahead of Sunday's ballot date. Some invalid ballots also had entries such as "son of mayor" or "successor to mayor" or entries mixing up the first and last names of the two candidates who scored the highest among the five candidates in the election.

Several police officers stormed an apartment in Machida, Tokyo, early Saturday and arrested an armed man about 15 hours after he had locked himself in there and fired nine shots out of a window Friday.

The armed police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department's special investigation team fired tear-gas and burst into his apartment shortly after 3 a.m.

They arrested him on the spot for possessing handguns in violation of the firearm control law. Two handguns were found in his apartment.

His face was smeared with blood when he was held by police officers, police said, adding he had shot himself in the head.

The gunman has been identified as Yuji Takeshita, 36, a member of a gang affiliated with the Kyokuto-kai underworld syndicate.

The gangster was rushed to a nearby hospital, the police said. He is unconscious and in critical condition.

The man had not taken any hostages and there were no reports of injuries so far.

Police had obtained an arrest warrant for Takeshita early Saturday on suspicion of shooting and killing a 37-year-old gangster in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Friday.

They said they are investigating the case as part of a gang war.

Takeshita is suspected of shooting another member of the syndicate, Madoka Yokoyama, 37, on Friday morning near a convenience store in Sagamihara about 700 meters away from his apartment.

The man who shot Yokoyama fled from the scene in a car, which is owned by Takeshita, then to the apartment in Machida across the prefectural border, police said.

Police said one of the shots hit a police patrol car which rushed to the apartment. No one has been hurt so far and no hostages appear to have been taken.

The Metropolitan Police Department deployed police officers around the site while the Tokyo Fire Department mobilized five ambulances to prepare for possible emergencies.

Investigators were positioned on both sides of the apartment building.

A total of 44 primary and junior high schools near the scene kept students inside for a time but they went home with their parents in the evening.

Residents around the apartment were evacuated on the instruction of the police.

While a senior member of the gang tried to persuade Takeshita via mobile phone to surrender to police, he was quoted as telling the senior member that he would kill himself in a sign of apology, according to police.

Takeshita eventually stopped responding to the phone calls and the police called on him to surrender Friday through early Saturday.

Lost case decision of NOVA

Lindsey Ann Hawker was the teacher of NOVA that is the English conversation school of national deployment in Japan.
Lost case decision of NOVA -- it carried out today.
The contents of a lawsuit-----The business of NOVA was cncluded illegal.
If a consumer canceled the lesson on his way after he paid tuition by package delivery,
NOVA will not return settlement-of-accounts money to a consumer .
The conclusion of a trial was carried out in the Supreme Court.

NOVA is notorious in the whole country as a fake English language school ,
because it is carried out the lawsuit of tuition return by many consumers .
NOVA makes students do package delivery of the tuition money, carries out an impossible time setup ,
it forces to be unable to receive a lecture within a term, and confiscates all charges after a limit day.
English study is a cover and the purpose of this school is to snatch a lot of money from a consumer.

Although it is a fake English language school, the TV commercial of the national version can be passed like a flood.
Why? Why? Why?

Since it is attached to the back of management of Takefuji which is the huge usurer of a Korean-residents-in-Japan management,
if media know the unfavorable criticism of NOVA, they cannot oppose.
In Japan, since media conceal truth, people can know truth only by the Internet.
Therefore, there are few people who get to know that NOVA is a fake English language school.
In Japan, all the things with which Koreans are concerned, it will be looked out as fake ,
they conceal skillfully their company who is managing.

The greatest advertising sponsors of media in Japan, and are the pachinko industry ,the consumer loan industry
and the religious body SOKA-GAKKAI..
It is a Korean-residents-in-Japan typical race industry, and these prevalent have entrapped people with the misfortune
and are worsening the peace of Japan.
In the pachinko industry, a store takes away money from a visitor by illegal fake business, and the visitor becomes gambling addiction.
Then, what it is lent by the illegal high interest rate in the consumer loan industry,
and he is carried out illegal collection and a threat, is driven into the breakup of a family, flight by night, and suicide,and runs to a crime.
This is the social present Japanese trend in disorder.

No hard evidence of coercion in recruitment of comfort women

The U.S. House of Representatives has been deliberating a draft resolution calling for the Japanese government
to apologize over the matter by spurning the practice as slavery and human trafficking.
Why has such a biased view of the issue prevailed?
The issue of the so-called comfort women has been brought up repeatedly
because misunderstandings that the Japanese government and the Imperial Japanese Army forced women into sexual servitude have not been completely dispelled.

The government has admitted the Imperial Japanese Army's involvement in brothels, saying that
"Japanese military was, directly or indirectly, involved in the establishment and management of the comfort stations and the transfer of comfort women."
The "involvement" refers to giving the green light to opening a brothel, building facilities, setting regulations regarding brothels,
such as fees and opening hours, and conducting inspections by army doctors.

However, the government has denied that the Japanese military forcibly recruited women.
On March 18, 1997, a Cabinet Secretariat official said in the Diet,
"There is no evidence in public documents that clearly shows there were any forcible actions [in recruiting comfort women]."
No further evidence that could disprove this statement has been found.

The belief that comfort women were forcibly recruited started to spread
when Seiji Yoshida, who claimed to be a former head of the mobilization department of the Shimonoseki branch of an organization in charge of recruiting laborers,
published a book titled "My War Crime" in 1983.
Yoshida said in the book that he had been involved in looking for suitable women to force them into sexual slavery in Jeju,South Korea.
"We surrounded wailing women, took them by the arms and dragged them out into the street one by one," he said in the book.

But researchers concluded in the mid-1990s that the stories in the book are not authentic.
On March 5 this year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at the House of Councillors Budget Committee that Yoshida's story does not prove
that women were forcibly recruited. He said: "I think it was The Asahi Newspaper [that reported the story]
that a man named Seiji Yoshida testified about his having searched for comfort women.
But later [Yoshida's testimony] was found to have been made up."

As the comfort women issue started to take on political and diplomatic dimensions,
some people in South Korea and also in Japan confused comfort women with female volunteer corps,
strengthening the misbelief that there was coercion.
Female volunteer corps were, according to a historian Ikuhiko Hata's book "Comfort Women and Sex in the Battlefield",
single women aged between 12 and 40 who were mobilized to work in factories, starting in August 1944, primarily to secure necessary labor.

There were cases in which malicious brokers sweet-talked women with promises of easy money or intentionally
concealed from them what life was going to be like in brothels.
The War Ministry wrote a letter, dated March 4, 1938, to the troops dispatched to China.
The letter, titled "Regarding the recruiting of women at the army's comfort stations," said
there were malicious brokers who were recruiting women in a way "similar to kidnapping."

It said, "Nothing should be overlooked so that the military's prestige and social orders are maintained.
" The letter indicates how the Imperial Japanese Army tried to make sure that women were not forcibly recruited.
However, in the confusion of war, elite Imperial Japanese Army soldiers who were on the fast track for officer status sent detained Dutch women to a brothel in Indonesia.
The incident came to be known as the Semarang incident.
The Imperial Japanese Army Headquarters closed down the brothel immediately after learning of the incident,
and soldiers involved received severe punishment
--some were sentenced to death--at a war crimes court convened by the Dutch Army after the war.

Comfort station originated in govt-regulated 'civilian prostitution'

To discuss the comfort women issue, it is indispensable to understand the social background of the time
when prostitution was authorized and regulated by the government in Japan.
Prostitution was tacitly permitted in limited areas up until 1957, when the law to prevent prostitution was enforced.

Comfort women received remuneration in return for sexual services at so-called comfort stations for military officers and soldiers.
According to an investigation report publicized by the government on Aug. 4, 1993,
on the issue of comfort women recruited into sexual service for the Japanese military,
there is a record mentioning the establishment of such a brothel in Shanghai around 1932,
and additional similar facilities were established in other parts of China occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army.

Some of them were under the direct supervision of the military authorities,
but many of the brothels catering to soldiers were privately operated.
Modern historian Ikuhiko Hata, a former professor at Nihon University, says
the comfort women system should be defined as the "battleground version of civilian prostitution."

Comfort women were not treated as "paramilitary personnel," unlike military nurses and military correspondents.
During the war, comfort women were not called "prostitutes for troops."
Use of such generic terminology spread after the war.
The latter description is said to have been used by writer Kako Senda (1924-2000) in his book titled
"Prostitutes for troops" published in 1973. Thereafter, the usage of prostitutes for troops prevailed.

In addition to Japanese women, women from the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan,
both then under Japanese colonial rule, and China, the Philippines, Indonesia
and other countries invaded by the Imperial Japanese Army were recruited as comfort women.
Hata estimates that 40 percent of the wartime comfort women were Japanese,
30 percent Chinese and other nationalities and 20 percent Korean.
The total number of comfort women has yet to be determined exactly.

According to a report compiled by Radhika Coomaraswany of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights in 1996,
there were 200,000 comfort women from the Korean Peninsula alone.
The figure in the report was based on information Coomaraswany had obtained in North Korea.
But this report contained many factual errors, and its quoted sources lacked impartiality.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso rejected the figure of 200,000 as "lacking objective evidence."

The reasons cited for the need for comfort women and wartime brothels are as follows:
-- To prevent military officers and soldiers from raping women and committing other sex crimes in occupied areas.
-- To prevent venereal disease from spreading through troops who would otherwise contact local prostitutes who did not receive periodic medical checks.
-- To prevent military secrets from being leaked by limiting the women who provided sexual services to officers and soldiers to recruited comfort women.

Such a system and the use of wartime brothels generally are not limited only to the Imperial Japanese military.
The U.S. troops that occupied Japan after the war used brothels provided by the Japanese side.
There was a case in which U.S. military officials asked the Japanese authorities to provide women for sexual services.
During the Vietnam War, brothels similar to those established for the former Japanese military
were available to U.S. troops, a U.S. woman journalist has pointed out.

Hata said: "There were wartime brothels also for the German troops during World War II.Some women were forced into sexual slavery.
South Korean troops had brothels during the Korean War, according to a finding by a South Korean researcher."

Seven years ago, the name of Japanese who killed M...

2007-03-31T20:25:00.000+09:00

Seven years ago, the name of Japanese who killed Miss Lucie Blackman was Joji Obara.
However, nobody of his relative is a Japanese.
They are Korean without Japanese nationality altogether, and they are foreigners living in Japan.
It is not reported in Japan although it was reported by Britain that he was previously Korean resident in Japan.
What kind of thing is it?

In Japan, the Korean resident in Japan is disliked very much as a betrayer
owing to that of many wrongdoings of a postwar confusion term.
The wrongdoing was the homicide to Japanese people, brutal punishment, rape, pillage, and a burglar.
Therefore, in order that a Korean resident in Japan may live an advantageous life in Japan,
they give their's name in the Japan name,
and they hide the fact that they are Korean, from Japanese people.

He not only gives his name in Japanese people, but he only naturalized to Japan in his relative
so that it might be easy to court a woman.
Therefore, he is a Korean Japanese only in his relative.

Although there are few foreigners who are Chinese and Korean in Japan,
more overwhelmingly than Japanese people, they occupy the most number of crimes.
Since especially the Korean resident in Japan has given his name in the Japanese name,
the Japanese cannot distinguish that many of offenders are Koreans.
Because the media is received the threat by the violent organization of the Korean resident in Japan,
they cannot report the many crimes of Koreans.

Many Korean residents in Japan, who took advantage of the mess during wartime at the postwar period,
being not able to equal to discrimination in their native country,
dreameding of the rich life in Japan,and have stolen passage illegally.
However, owing to many wrongdoings of their postwar period,
Japanese people detested them and came to avoid them.
And they came to be eliminated from the Japanese society which revived.
As a confrontation means of the exclusion, Koreans began to advertize a lie
called compulsive taking by the Japanese army using media.

Like U.S. media being the Judea rule,
many Korean residents in Japan turned into Japanese people,
cleared up and lost also in media of Japan, and they rule over.
Therefore, the wrongdoing about a Korean resident in Japan will be concealed,
and Japanese will be brainwashed with that many wrongdoings are a Japanese own cause.

The most Korean in whom had participated as a Japanese soldier those days, performed the cruel act
which the Japanese army performed to the prisoner of war at the Second World War.
The people of Hong Kong of those days know that enough, and do not still forget it.

In Japan, Korean residents in Japan deluded Japanese people with circulating a lie,
got all privilege and preferential treatment, and became a privileged-people person.
Even their poor and needy are secured a minimum-life and rate of their wealthy,
overwhelmingly larger than that Japanese.
Though Korean residents in Japan is the wealthy of privileged people,
he is the party who continues committing a cruel criminal act as usual in Japan.

The women who are prostituting themselves by calling "I am a Zapanese "
in the advanced nations in the world, are South Korean emigration prostitutes.
If they clear up as a Japanese people, it is easy to take a custmor.
This is the conspicuous feature of Koreans .
They hidding the fact that he is a Korean, they clears up as a Japanese,
gain profits and they make all their wrongdoings the cause to Japanese people.

However, since the political power center governed by the religious body (= Soka Gakkai)
of sponsored by Korean-resident-in-Japan management,
Japanese people must be governed by a few Korean resident in Japan.
This is similar with the composition that Americans are governed by a small number of Jew.

Lindsey Ann Hawker was the teacher of the English-conversation school "NOVA".
this school is very infamous and managed by investment of the major money lending business companies
"Takefuji" of Korean-resident-in-Japan management.
