Honda workers to demand record-high bonus of 6.6 months salary
"I don?t know whether you are aware of it or not, but groping on trains is not exactly uncommon in Japan. It?s so prevalent in fact, that it could almost be viewed as a hobby....
This is when 47 year-old Mitsuru Nagasaki stepped up to join the fray. Kindly taking it upon himself to help a group of falsely accused men. Now the only problem with this is that he has gone and got himself a suspended six month prison sentence.
And for what? Surreptitiously taking a photograph up the skirt of a woman sitting opposite him on the subway. That?s what.

I always have answered, "CHIKAN desu." (Molester)...Not one Japanese in 20+ years balked at that hobby. Go figure.

....Kiichi Miyazawa, a former prime minister, pointed out in an interview that Japan thought of itself as a great power only once in its history, in the decades leading up to World War II, when Japan ruled swaths of Asia and eventually attacked Pearl Harbor. "Japan wanted to compete, and did it fully," Mr. Miyazawa said. "Only we failed and gave up."
