| CAUTION!! |
| These are the reproduction of articles originally published on Mainichi Daily News' "WaiWai" section. Almost all of the articles were nothing but trumped-up stories. Please DO NOT believe them! Were these stories real? No Japanese readers would believe them. Some immoral writers made up the story, taking from dubious "news" from tabloids and gossip magazines. However, some readers unfortunately believed the articles. There's no wonder--these stories were published by the Mainichi Newspapers, one of the Japanese major "quality" papers. The writers and Mainichi seem to understand very well that fiction is stronger than reality --at least for readers with little experience with Japan. Don't believe Mainichi, never! PLEASE WATCH MOVIE BELOW, it helps you to understand background of these problem. |
