Tiger Woods, Really Sex Addiction ?
This is a really shocking news for me. I don't play the gold so often but sometimes I play it. Although I know I'm just a poor player and not like top player's sensitivity in playing, I understand how Golf is a mental sport and integrated humanity is the most important for gold playing. When I play the golf with some trifle things in my [...]
Power of Japanese politics, Ichiro Ozawa
Recent Japanese media always report about Ichiro Ozawa's scandal. But one thing we all think strange is that all the media are saying the same thing, not telling about opinions from some other angles. This is totally dangerous becuase all the nation might think the same by the same opinions from media. Many critics also point it out but [...]
NORIAKI KASAI, the hidden best ski jumper
Vancouver Olympic is looming. I don't think Japan team would take a lot of medals as they did in Nagano Olympic games. Some players on ski games and skating games are expected, but not such a big possibility for medals. Although we know as above, I can't help hoping that NORIAKI KASAI would take a medal on the ski jump games. I really [...]

RIMI NATUSKAWA now pregnant
We've not recently heard of RIMI NATSUKAWA's news. But today she was reported that she is now pregnant and would be having her first baby in August. I, personally, am not a fan of her, but her voice seems to tell a lot to people. So she has many fans in Japan still. Probably she will be singing again after she gets her first baby safely.
Hideki Irabu, an ex-major leaguer, retired playing
Hideki Matsui recently moved his team from NY Yankees to Anaheim Angels. The same first name player, Hideki Irabu was also a member of NY Yankees from Japan. Hideki Irabu is not remembered well because he often commented badly about others and his attitude in the baseball field was not always good as an honorable major league player. [...]
Shigeru Kobayashi, a great pitcher, died yesterday
For a little older baseball fans of Japan, Shigeru Kobayashi is a really unforgettable pitcher. Shigeru Kobayashi first played in Tokyo Giants, and through a dramatic and tragic trade, he transferred to Hansin Osaka Tigers. The trade is a kind of social case in the history of sports business. Shigeru Kobayashi was really a good pitcher and [...]
