Marine relocation to Guam

Washing with soap has benefits

For all the talk about preventing the spread of influenza, Japan has not learned the lessons of SARS. The other day, after taking a train, I went to the washroom in a JR station. As always, there was no soap. Telling people to wash their hands won't do much good until soap is in common use.

SMAP star Kusanagi causes naked rage among media

Between the time the media first heard the news that SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi had been arrested for public indecency and his press conference the next day, there was a frisson of titillating anticipation over what the scandal might reveal and how Kusanagi would emerge from it. Even now, speculation...

Haikou Fes

IAN MARTIN Anyone with a passing interest in demographic crises will know that Japan, with its prodigious life expectancy and ever-declining birth rate, is a textbook example of the problems of an aging society.

Araiya: Celebrating beef by the Yokohama bayside

Give Kusanagi a break

I feel so sorry for Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and the media swirl going on around him right now ("SMAP star's public nudity spurs arrest," April 23). He was really drunk and did some silly things but he didn't harm anyone.

Better than drunk driving

I have to say that I do not understand all the media and political outcry about Tsuyoshi Kusanagi's behavior.

Among the major Japanese writers of the early 20th century, he scarcely ranks as a survivor. Natsume Soseki, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Junichiro Tanizaki are the...
