forgery
According to Yomiuri On-Line, Ishihara, who is a governer of Tokyo, is going to lodge a criminal complaint against TBS. The TV program on TBS told that Mr Ishihara believed Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula was the right thing though he did not say such a thing.
He often uses right-wing rethoric and sometimes other mass medias complain his speech. But this case is mass media forge wrong news. TBS is one of major broadcast company in Japan, and most of Japan is covered.

Who is Shintaro Ishihara?
Governer Ishihara is like:
when a bomb did not explode, he would say, "It is an imitation. Why are you so scared?"
When a bomb exploded and killed people, he would claim, "why they touch the bomb. I suppose they don't know what a bomb is. Why does such silly people try to know a bomb?"


Mr Ishihara is a governer of Tokyo. I am wondering why the people in Tokyo chose him.

Animals in Japan
PETA

Why does this organization have no actions in Japan?

So many animals are sold as toy animals.
In many cases, they are thrown away because of their owners' egoistic reason, such as no interesting, etc. After that, those animals are going to be killed by the public service.

Now in Japan, a chihuahua is one of the most popular dog in Japan. Some years ago, a husky was the most popular but they became outcast. Most of the outcast went to gas room to be killed. A couple of years later, chihuahuas are going to receive the same destiny.

Last month, a crocodile was found in a rice paddy in Japan. Two alligator gars, which are usually in US, was found in a pond, too. Those animals are dumped by their owners.

sexual identity disorder
Many people in Japan are suffering from sexual identity disorder. There is a special law which change their sex. About 2000 Japanese want to change their sex but they can't. Since the requirement toward this law is too high, only 1/4 of them can apply. One of the requirement is not having children. Even if they find themselves suffering sexual identity disorder after having children, they can not change their sex.

According to this newspaper (written in Japanese), most of the Western countries admit sexual changes legally even when they have children. In Japan, it is considered that children have to be brought up with male father and female mother.

Help for Vietnamise Children
World Wide Support (WWS) is one of NPO in Japan. They support Vietnamise street children. They are looking for donation because donation from Japanese is decreasing because of long economic depression. They need any help.

Japan is poor?
After the 15th tyhoon, it was quite a good day. But many people do not save their money. They have no insurance, no savings, no stocks etc. This "they" means mainly married couple and family. So, they must earn money for their living, but they don't save the rest of earning. 20% of Japanese families do not have enough savings. Why? I don't know, but I know most of them are flying around the world, buying some brand goods like Luis Vitton, and going out for the dinner every weekend. I guess that's the reasons.

the national election will come
