I am once again dumbfounded at the level of expertise -not only of Adamu but also of the readers of this blog. 99% of the “Japan blogs” are simply links to Japan Times English Version articles, or Youtube videos of some new comedian that’s really “wacky” . . . but you guys are the real deal!

The way you guys can read Japanese blogs, translate them, provide some context, and throw around terms like “tamogami” or “Ishi” as if they’re common knowledge . . . I mean, damn. Not to be rude, but who are you people anyway? I am picturing a bunch of Embassy workers or chain-smoking economists. Is that so far off?

You need to go to those websites where they’re talking about anime as if it’s important and just start smacking people up! You guys should be the mainstream blogs that the English-speakers read. You make all my 天皇滅亡 posts look very adolescent.

SDP MP Nobuto Hosaka denounces Tamogami in the strongest terms, likening his behavior, particularly during and after his testimony, as close to a coup detat (気分はクーデター）—damn the constitution, damn the Murayama statement, Japan’s honor must be restored. Ick. I mean, just imagine if General Petraeus started strongly demanding that our government reverse major decisions. Madness.
