Those are actually life sized dolls and probably should be shared in that thread, though I see no harm either way. The first one is definitely a Trottla doll but I am unsure of the other.

There are a couple of things amiss with your comments, as far as I can see. First off Japan being a democratic country would mean that the whole of Japan would need to vote for Ryukyu to sucede from Japanese rule, not that Ryukyu has the authority to do that itself, (though I am sure they would...

U.S. recognizes Japan's sovereignty over Okinawa: Official Washington, May 9 (Jiji Press)--The United States recognizes Japanese sovereignty over Okinawa, a Department of State spokesman said Thursday. Patrick Ventrell, the department's acting deputy spokesman, made the remark after the...

On occasion, Japan’s tabloid media will profile the infamous Watakano Island, which is accessible by boat in Mie Prefecture’s Matoya Bay. With a circumference of a mere six kilometers, this tiny hideaway is home to a population of 300 people, most of whose livelihoods revolve around one trade...

She looks worth knowing, no doubt about that.

Pirate Bay Takes Over Distribution of Censored 3D Printable Gun A few days after the blueprints for the world’s first printable gun were published online, Defense Distributed has been asked by the State Department to pull them down, citing possible arms trafficking violations. The blueprints...

Light Bringer - Genesis ???? Ya know Desu I got tons of respect for ya but give a bro a hint. I didn't even know what the heck you were asking for, I had to freaking look it up! Worth the effort though just because you are you. It would have been nice if you had specified Direct Download or...

This is not new technology but it is nice to see it getting the attention it deserves. ThePirateBay has had a dedicated section for 3D printers for at least a year now, maybe more. It is called the "Physibles" section and data for 3D printers is freely shared there.

May 9, 2013 Ryosuke Yamauchi and Tomoko Echizenya / The Yomiuri Shimbun Three-dimensional printers, which are capable of creating solid objects in a way comparable to printing letters and illustrations on paper, are sparking a revolution within the manufacturing industry. The high-tech...

According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, a record-high 1.43 million Chinese tourists visited Japan in 2012. This figure represents an increase of 37.3 percent over the year before, when the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear disaster in Fukushima Prefecture unfolded...

Life doesn't work like that? How about Public Libraries? That is what file sharing sites are and that is what file sharing means. The term is not file selling. If I own a chair I can do whatever I want with it. This should be the same if I own a DVD. It is my DVD and no one can tell who I can...

Think again: I will add another quote:

Article 96 key in panel's debates Political parties are set to clarify Thursday their stances on amending Article 96 of the Constitution at a meeting of a House of Representatives panel tasked with studying revisions to the top law. Article 96 stipulates procedures for revising the...

A flat stomach on a model is so underrated. Thanks for sharing Pusa with us.

I would like to note that I do not "hack" but I am acquainted with a few that do. I don't ask them about their business but I have learned a few things from them. Most "hacking" is done using some form of passive ftp or by using tools and/or malware that open a backdoor for the same. Tor could...

Tokyo protesters say no to amending Constitution TOKYO (AP) -- Hundreds of Japanese, young and old, gathered in downtown Tokyo in a peaceful protest Friday against calls by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to amend the country's pacifist constitution and give the government more power to abridge civil...

(Reuters) - Shinzo Abe makes no secret of wanting to revise Japan's constitution, which was drafted by the United States after World War Two, to formalize the country's right to have a military - but critics say his plans go deeper and could return Japan to its socially conservative...

Relatives of abductees issue call in the U.S. for international teamwork WASHINGTON – Family members of Japanese abducted by North Korea called Thursday in Washington for international cooperation to quickly resolve the issue. The symposium was the first of its kind hosted by the Japanese...

Actually the general concept is that North Korea seeks pacification and is trying to extort financial and political gains through threats and intimidation. Most moves that are made to counter possible threats from North Korea are just the good politcal and military doctrine: " To keep the peace...

No, this time it is your misunderstanding. Tor exit nodes are plainly visible when they relay URL requests from a Tor user. Apparently a few Tor exit node owners were briefly arrested and/or detained when police were attempting to track the orgin of the bomb threats and/or taunting emails. In...

ISPs often use blocklists, that is they have domain name or IP list that if you type in they will block you from accessing. Tor is as anonymous as it gets and it is patterned off a military multi-layer encryption technique called Onionrouting. This means the original request travels through a...

NO. People that blow up schools or nurseries with kids in them on purpose don't need help, they are past helping. Those kinds of people are too dangerous to be allowed to live in a society and are best put down like the mad dogs they are. Going to all that trouble to make threats against...

A lot of tor nodes are from corporate, military and educational institutions so a ban on Tor nodes is highly unlikely. As far as the hacker goes.....glad he was caught. People that threaten to blow up kids and schools need some re-education and phycological help.

I keep thinking it is a misprint......

AFP - Five-time defending champions Japan got off to a flying start in the Asian Five Nations rugby tournament by scoring a humiliating 121-0 victory over the promoted Philippines on Saturday. Full back Ayumu Goromaru gave Japan a 3-0 lead with a penalty in the seventh minute, which appeared...

more of these cute little models and action figures:

How do I nicely put this? How can I be respectful to a statement that makes as much sense to me as "little green men live on mars"? I will try. A Republic is not like other forms of government and America is not like previous republics. Corporations are a seperate entity within America...

I will have to disagree with you there. Poor people cannot afford refined or expensive entertainment so they tend to drink and fuck. Drinking and fucking is a sure recipe for babymaking. I agree that it is a bad idea to start a family if you are ill prepared to support one but I think history is...

N. Korea becoming less provocative: Japan spokesman Kyodo -- Apr 17 North Korea is becoming less provocative, even as the country is widely believed to be preparing to test-launch a ballistic missile in defiance of international pressure, Japan's government spokesman said Wednesday...

A few pix I came across I thought worth sharing

Tokyo, April 16 (Jiji Press)--Japan's estimated population totaled 127,515,000 as of Oct. 1, 2012, down 284,000 from a year before, marking the steepest drop ever for the second straight year, the internal affairs ministry said Tuesday. The proportion of elderly people aged 65 or over...

The Borgias is back for a third season and it is one of the better historical dramas that has ever graced the television screen. Jeremy Irons, a great classical actor, is outstanding in the prime role. The supporting cast does a good job and the acting and writing I find to be believable and...

I would not hold her feet against her, I am sure she has a nice personality.

desioner has the right of it, of course, but he may have been sugarcoating it a bit. There is a good reason a poster uses a non-english title, he is targeting a non-english speaking audience. Akiba-Online has a much larger fan base in Japan than in any other country. We are actually privledged...

I may not own in any of these personally but I enjoy the pictures others share of these so I share them when I have enough to share

Define "Lolitas" please. It is a slang word derived from the spanish term "lola", (which means sorrows), and made famous in the, not so fantastic but still popular movie "Lolita", which I believe was the name of the starlets character, (it has been some time since I have seen the movie, I didn't...

I expect nothing to come of all this myself. But this is the news and worries that directly affect the people who live in Japan so I thought this thread worth updating for those that are interested. It would be nice if there was more entertaining news available but that is not what news agencies...

Japan to locate missile defense system in Okinawa permanently The government said Friday it will deploy a missile defense system in Okinawa Prefecture permanently, amid repeated threats by North Korea to launch missiles that could strike any target in Japan. Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera...

North Korea now threatening Japan WASHINGTON – North Korea today expanded its saber-rattling, which earlier included threats against South Korea and the United States, to target Japan, which the renegade nation is claiming is conspiring with the U.S. to pose a military threat. Specifically...

N. Korea looks to outwit missile launch watchers North Korea has been repeatedly moving multiple missiles around in an apparent bid to confuse outside intelligence gatherers ahead of an expected launch, Yonhap reported Thursday. According to intelligence analysis cited by the South Korean...

N. Korea warns foreigners in the South should make plans to evacuate SEOUL — North Korea on Tuesday said all foreigners and foreign-run businesses in the South should draw up evacuation plans, the latest in a series of shrill warnings from Pyongyang about what it describes as likely armed...

Japan is on full alert ahead of an expected mid-range missile launch by North Korea, its defence minister says, as South Korea raised its military watch alert to 'vital threat'. 'We have been on full alert since we deployed military units, and so we will maintain this sense of vigilance,'...

I look to Europe for answers and it is about time a prime contender comes from that arena. Microsoft seems too embedded in Japan and other countries producing cutting edge technology. Russia and China have too many internal reasons not produce such a contender I would think and Australia and...

Lots to comment on there. Yes: "He was much better looking in the book" is a pretty stupid thing to say but I actually understand the sentiment. Books appeal to the imagination through the written word, giving descriptions and content you just cannot include in a cinematic presentation. So an...

Great fucking question. I search for titles on the net from time to time and Mega links have not come up...not even once.

Agree. The problem with tv shows based on movie characters is you already have preconceptions on who and what the character should be. That is a lot for any actor/writer/director to live up to, Anthony Hopkins performance of Hannibal that is. They, of course, fell miserably short. That isn't to...

Orphan Black is a new program on Saturday nights that I would suggest as having "potential" and worth looking at. I like it so far. It is on BBC America, apparently, ( I get it from eztv). Short summary: Street girl sees a woman who looks like her jump in front of a train and steals her purse...

If only G.I Joe and Ken knew what they wre missing out on....

As a young boy I would have given anything to be a bad boy with some of the women that I knew....I broke my cherry on a Georgia Peach that was older than me by 7 years as a matter of fact. Steamed up her bedroom windows and mirror we did, not an idle boast, a fact.

But then who is? There is a serious lack of competetion in that market. Personally I would rather stop using the internet than use Windows 8 but that is just me.
