Your feedback is most welcome. ***** My name's Dan Zander. I've been working as a journalist since I graduated from college. For a long time I covered local news for local newspapers, basically hopping from one sinking ship to the next. Fifteen years ago I got a break, and for a while now I've been in the jet set, working for Rolling Stone. Traveling a...
18 Takeshi The telephone rang. Aiko picked it up. It was Norman. "What's up, Norman? she asked. "Not the usual thing," he said. His innuendo was obvious. Aiko laughed. "We're going to Japan in a couple of months," Norman said. "Really? Good for you two. Why now? You've never hinted at wanting to visit Japan before?" she observed. "It's not me; it's th...
The next night my ride came to the hotel again, and I was ready. I didn't wear panties this time. The driver was one of the male slaves. I knew him now, so I sat in the front with him. I pulled up my skirt and kept it up the rest of the drive so he could see me. We pulled up next to a Jeep of young males, and they beeped the horn, shouting and yelling and po...

Part 4 was our Sunday's hot fun with 3 black US servic...

Author's Note: Friendly reminder. I don't speak Japanese ... or Romanian. *** Ana's blood chilled in her veins. Within a second, many different thoughts jumbled in her mind. A small but cozy apartment. A stove with only two burners. Shoes left in a genkan. A teenage girl's legs with a pair of long, baggy socks. Cheezy pop music blasting from a CD pla...
The modern Japanese tanka developed out of ancient forms of Japanese poetry, more specifically the waka form which was a thirty-one syllable poem. This form was so old that according to a myth recorded in Japan's oldest book, Kojiki (The Record of Ancient Matters) a brother of the sun goddess recited a thirty-one syllable poem. The book Kojiki was complete...
Ryu Murakami's first novel, Almost Transparent Blue, won the coveted Akutagawa Prize in 1976, for his semi-autobiographical story of teenage experimentation with sex and drugs near a US Military Base in Japan. He continues his exploration of the decadent, dark side of Japanese society in Coin Locker Babies (2002) and in his most recently translated book In t...
Of course, after such experiences, I had left for Italy full of nostalgia, longing to be in Japan again. But I did not ever think to move there for good. As someone wisely said, tourism is one thing, emigration is another. And this applies to Japan more than to many other places.
