Honestly, I am not much of a fan of Retina on the Macbook Pro, mainly because working with Photoshop means all your graphics are 1/4 size, though you "know" that web banner is the right size, it's just showing at 1/4 size compared to a normal monitor or a web browser. To have this all the time would be a drag…

I get that a lot, actually. (I sell these.)

These will show up on J-List soon, methinks.

That's the standard edition. The Limited Edition is out now (almost sold out though), and the download is also out now.

We will do our best.

That's the Standard Edition. The Limited Edition is available (~500 copies left), and the download edition, right now.

There are many, many, many successful and respected Japanese of Korean descent. It took me 20 years to even learn one derogatory word for Koreans in Japanese, it's never spoken. I am extremely certain that if I asked for colorful words in Korean to describe Japanese they would not be hard to find.

Korea makes about 100x more statements about Dokdo/Takeshima than Japan ever does. True, Japan puts "Takeshima is our territory" in its textbooks, but that's what it is to claim a fact. Koreans believe Dokdo is the Asian version of Jerusalem's Wailing Wall thanks to 50 years of self-hypnosis on the subject by their…

And the most successful Japanese businessman, Son Masatoshi, is a Korean Japanese. Which is like being an Italian American, i.e. an American of Italian descent, but for some reason Asia always has to make everything morethan it should be.

That should not be the case. Japan and Korea opened cultural sharing back in 1999, and several pop stars and comedians have made a splash over there...though about 1/100 the number of Koreans that Japan has welcomed into its entertainment industry.

Korea is always saying that they are the origin for every single aspect of Japan's society. Well we know that "chuunibyou" (8th graders disease, e.g. the silly delusions that some people are subject to) did in fact originate from Korea.

I will do this just so I can play mouse/keyboard style. I never got into FPSs with controllers and was always shocked at why Sony didn't require game companies to support mouse/keyboard in all games to get the PC gamer types into their platforms.

I live in Japan, a country with a British/Canadian style health system that covers 70% of all costs and 100% for all children aged 5 and under, and 70 and older. (This depends slightly on what part of Japan you're in.) It's quite amazing and has helped Japan have the top longevity in the world.

I license Japanese "H" games and have been told by publishers that they couldn't give us all the game images because it would be ネタバレ (neta-bare, or spoilers). Um, I paid you guys money for the IP to the entire game and its content, yo?

I am in Japan but I'm in Gunma, the least interesting prefecture in the country.

As a guy who sells Sailor Moon stuff for a living (on J-List), I'd like to say FUCK Bandai for making this super limited. They will be really hard for fans to get and expensive too.

I sell that stuff for a living, but I'm sure the effect is tiny. It's about 100 things, all combined, too much Internet, too much urbanization, too much stress, too little space (would you want to raise a child in Tokyo? have you seen the parks there?), the convenience of porn (for both sexes), the rise in all kinds…

Many married couples are "sexless" (meaning ver little sex, not necessarily none). Many couples have 1 or maybe 2 kids, raise them, then get divorced because they have nothing in common besides the kids. People can get into things like otaku culture which unbalances their relationships, though I know a couple that got…

Good comments. I wrote about this on J-List today, since it was making such a big splash on the web. The article got translated back into Japanese, and Japanese net users were surprised to see so many Westerners "worrying about us."

Happens every few years in Japan. 20 years ago it was Japanese people wearing blonde wigs saying greenbean flavored snacks were "oishii desu NE!" in gaijin accents. Nothing to see here, must we bring up Breakfast at Tiffany's or that horrible episode of Gilligan's Island?
