Yessssss. Saw them in 2000 here in Japan at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Still remember it fondly. When they started, I was in the middle of the crowd, which surged and compacted. I distinctly remember thinking, “Oh. I’m not getting out of here until they finish so I might as well dance. And I did.”

Just randomly came across this Jeep about 100m from my house on the way back from a ride to take pics with my camera (Canon R10).

100%! Never, ever go before looking. One of those classic Japan contradictions: almost every single person who will stand at a crosswalk where no cars are coming and wait for the green signal to cross will also without the slightest hesitation run a red light in their car 100% of the time.

If only they gave him an office to work in rather than having to go to a golf club twelve hundred miles away!

What a perfect way to break down what happened in the OO. Spot on. In this case, however, I think “dick in the room” is more appropriate.

Was literally just thinking the same thing, having just read about 10 minutes about the latest daily dose of awfulness happening across the Pacific.

I was just hearing gusts outside right now and thinking, That’s a bit breezy. Is this the haru kaze that I thought was meant to arrive yesterday? I didn’t really notice any wind around town myself.

OMG, I’ve missed it so many times that sometimes I wonder if it’s actually visible. Thank you!

Ah the ancient, Japanese traditional, “the longer the press conference, the more sorry we are!” approach to PR crisis management.

Uchida Yuki. Saw this poster in a Jusco in Rifu, Miyagi, in August 1993 and, being rather of fan of short hair, thought, “Oh, I’ll have that.”

Thanks for the tip! Have you tried “The Rest is History” yet. Brilliant. Maybe my favorite, although “We Have Ways” dedicated to WWII topics is probably a close second.
