Japanese ex-political heavyweight fined, given two-year jail term?
A once-influential Japanese lawmaker from Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's ruling party was handed a two-year jail term and fined 11 million yen (US$104,000; euro 81,000) Friday on bribery and perjury charges.
Muneo Suzuki, formerly a heavyweight in the most powerful faction of Koizumi's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, was arrested in June 2002.
Tokyo District Court judge Shoichi Yagi found Suzuki guilty Friday on two counts of bribery, one count of hiding political donations and one count of perjury, said court spokesman Hideaki Wada.

6-month terms sought for 'prisoners of conscience' in Japan

Kyodo News / Nov 4, 2004 04:56pm.

---Prosecutors on Thursday demanded six months in prison for three activists recognized by Amnesty International as "prisoners of conscience," saying they trespassed in residential quarters to distribute leaflets opposing the deployment of Japanese troops in Iraq.

At the Hachioji branch of the Tokyo District Court, the lawyer for the three -- two men and a woman -- said they are not guilty, declaring that "It is a violation of the freedom of expression to prosecute them just because they made a political statement."

The prosecution said, "It is clearly illegal to enter other people's property without permission from the management."

But the defense argued distributing leaflets in mailboxes is common in Japan.

BBC News / Nov 4, 2004 04:56pm.

Right after birth babies face sudden and severe starvation as they have lost their nutrient supply from the placenta, but have yet to drink milk.
It appears they bridge the gap by breaking down cells, and releasing essential nutrients.
The study, by Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, is published in Nature.

Scene and heard
October 30, 2004 The Sydney Morning Herald.
Sadao Hasegawa, a blind man in Japan, has set up a website called Telesupport Net which uses sighted volunteers to help visually impaired people using the video capabilities of 3G mobiles.
Blind users point their mobile's built-in camera at the place or object that they want to decipher, and the sighted person on the other end of the phone can report back to them immediately....

TeleSupport NET (the Japanese site) is a kind of "seeing eye" service that takes the video from a Keitai-phone held by a visually disabled person and channels it into a center where sighted people can interpret the physical environment for the person carrying the 3G cell-phone.

Our Lady of the Sea (Japanese love boat or floating crap game)

Buy a chapel with organ, outboards
November 1, 2004 / The Courier-Mail
REAL estate agents spruik the advantages of location, location, location.
With 360 degree water views, the Gold Coast's latest property listing certainly offers that--- and maybe even salvation, salvation, salvation.
What's claimed to be the world's only floating chapel, Our Lady of the Sea, has been put up for sale by a Japanese wedding company....
"A lot of couples have had very memorable weddings on board the chapel and we're hoping whoever buys it might continue the tradition."
Australian Wedding Blessings built the chapel in 1997 to cater for the lucrative Japanese wedding market and it has since become the Gold Coast's own love boat. ...
....It has a price tag of $250,000 -- priest not included.
