I wasn`t necessarily pointing out the posting here. I`ve seen this news posted up on quite a few sites, and linked to from countless places in the past 24 hours. The US article went by without fanfare and disappeared (In fact, I think I only saw it because I happened to glance at the feed in the 20 minutes or so before it was pushed off the bottom.)

It just seems to be an effect of the economy, and not a "Japan thing". But you won`t spot blogs and the like making a big deal out of the same thing when it happens outside of Japan.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
