Popularity's dead! Rebellion against brands starts now

Recently I ran into a friend who works at a TV station in Tokyo. The conversation turned to Johnny's Jimusho, the most powerful talent agency in Japan, whose stable of male singers has dominated television for almost two decades.

The limits of discrimination

In commenting on the famous Otaru, Hokkaido, bathhouse case, Gregory Clark cops out when he says that barring drunken sailors and applying tests of drunkenness are not the answer. It's pretty clear when someone is over the limit. You throw out drunks by throwing them out!

A west side love story

With Valentine's Day approaching, Tokyo's lovers dust off chocolate-tempering pots, scope out sweet shops and reserve bouquets of roses.

Making a lovely place better

Regarding the Jan. 13 Views From the Street question — "If you could change one thing about Japan, what would it be?" — I think smoking should be banned in many places as it is in North America. I love Japan, but when I went to Tokyo for a trip in 2005, I ended up getting bronchitis because of the...

In 1578, the lord of Musashi Province (present-day Tokyo, Saitama Prefecture and eastern Kanagawa Prefecture) authorized a tax-free market in Setagaya, then a small castle town under a minor vassal of the Hojo clan, which ruled the Kanto region from its fortified base in Odawara.

Crates of champagne were popped open, wine was mulled and sake was sipped. But now the feast days are over, we must rein in the appetite (and the spending, too). It's time to focus on simple, wholesome home cooking to see us through the coldest season: hearty stews and nabe hot pots, rib-sticking casseroles...

Raise prices on tobacco products
