Wow, looks like this lady got her wish; she won't have to live with her son any more. But it's her who will be moving out: to jail!
What up with the stool pidgeon hitman though? What the!? . . .

What really irks consumers is that this is not an isolated case. Several years back, Yukijirushi pulled a similar stunt, by selling milk products produced in filthy equipment that actually sickened . . .

You have GOT to be kidding me... this is incredibly sad, and just stupid. If only these boys had gone on to high school... Obviously I was wrong about the gangland style killing, but personally, this is . . .

Whoa. Sounds like the Bonnie & Clyde days are over for this guy. He's probably lucky Japanese security guards and cops aren't armed. Could've been a little Butch Cassidy & the Sundance . . .

I am not sure what is worse here: 1) the fact that the man was forced to confess (which is common in Japan), 2) the man didn't recant at any time (had they frightened him into actually believing . . .

Bid-rigging and bribery are a common factor in Japanese business. It's sad, but it's been this way forever. It's origins are steeped in the culture. The Japanese culture is one of working . . .

This ticks me off. Just stupid. While I could give a damn less about Nova's rep, I care a lot for the rep of expats like me. We don't need morons like this giving us a bad name. . . .

A rather ominous sign. Not that this is anything new. Yakuza (or Violent Gangs--Bouryokudan--as they are called on the news) have been around forever. Yet the Sumiyoshi-kai's claims/concerns are not . . .

And I guess this puts a fine point on my last article on the the yakuza. Guns are illegal in Japan, so it is unusual to hear the pop-pop you sometimes hear in the States. What I find "funny" . . .

The one thing that keeps this all at a distance is that the Yakuza generally do not involve themselves with the likes of us 'mere mortals' (much like Mafioso types don't wish to I . . .

Dork.
This is such a problem in Japan, I actually scripted a comic about a panty thief, as well as wrote a game proposal for an open-ended GTA-style game where players could either be the thief, or a . . .

What I really find sad about stories like this, is that not so long ago, Japanese youth were considered some of the most well-behaved in the world. Sure, there are always bad apples, but recently, the . . .

The Japanese love to drink. Well, who doesn't you ask? But many Japanese drink to the point that they probably would be considered alcoholics in the US, while in Japan, its "the norm". Since . . .

I think the One-armed Man was hiding in the shadows of this deal. CALL OUT THE FBI!
But seriously... the yakuza like to strong-arm people into doing things. It's all scare tactics. People should just . . .

Two things I have noticed about Japanese crimes: 1) they almost ALWAYS involved knives (as guns are illegal), and 2) bodies of water (usually rivers) are favorite dumping spots. I'm not sure why this . . .

BUDDHA'S BLUE BALLS! Someone should knock this guy over the head and leave him in the woods! JERK! Hit and run is common here in Japan. Lotta people are found dead. Of course, it doesn't . . .
