Thank you for writing me a story! First, I just want to say that everything that follows is totally optional -- if, upon seeing my requests, the story you want to write leapt fully-formed into your mind, then that is the story I hope you will write. I would much rather read a story you got really excited about than a story you forced into the constraints of my wishes.
But if you'd like more information about what I like and dislike, click on the cut!

Hiroshima said shortly after Tokyo’s loss that the western Japanese city will seek to host the 2020 Summer Games with Nagasaki, both of which suffered U.S. atomic bombings during World War II, despite the Olympic Charter stipulating that only one city can host the Olympics. On Monday, the Japanese Olympic Committee welcomed Ishihara’s remarks about a fresh bid by Tokyo, with Vice President Tomiaki Fukuda saying, "It is truly great."
Another vice president, Masato Mizuno, said, "It has been common in recent years for a city to make several bids to host the Olympic Games. It is completely natural for Tokyo to make another bid."
Other cities interested in bidding are: New Delhi, Istanbul and Budapest. The IOC will announce their decision in 2013.

Hollywood star Brad Pitt (45) filmed his first ever guest appearance on a Japanese variety show on his recent PR trip to Tokyo. He and director Quentin Tarantino (46) were in town last week to promote the movie "Inglourious Basterds" and they fitted in a visit to the Fuji TV show "SMAPxSMAP". The episode will be aired on Monday, November 16.
The Hollywood duo appear on the "Bistro SMAP" segment, with members of the pop group preparing dishes ordered by their guests. Katori Shingo (32) joked that when he feels run down, he watches the Pitt movie "Fight Club," to which Burapi happily quipped, "Me, too!" He and Tarantino talked about their love for Tokyo and Japan. Pitt has appeared in many TV commercials here, for products such as Edwin jeans and the Softbank mobile phone network. Tarantino paid tribute to the Japanese chambara movie style in his "Kill Bill" movies. "Inglorious..." is scheduled for release in Japan on the 20th.

No one ever come to Detroit T_T
On Christmas Eve two years ago, Masahiro Yoshida returned to his home to find it empty. His wife had fled with their 2-year-old daughter and was seeking a divorce.
Since then, he's rarely seen his child because law grants custody to only one parent — routinely the mother. His wife has refused to allow him regular visits, accusing him of emotional swings and past verbal and sometimes physical abuse.

UPDATE 
Miho Shisraishi’s blog updated with VS Arashi article. She participated this Thursday’s one. Rocket News, <Arashi signature distributed to 5,000 people at Yahoo Auction!? Over 600,000 yen> At Yahoo Auction, internet auction site a popular group Arashi’s signature comes up for auction in the news. How does he/ she get it? These 5000 signboards are targeted to Arashi FC members and distributed by lot. It seems this is one of it. Auction bid started 7 Nov and will be over 15. still remain 5 days already 152 bids. And price exceeded 600K. and there’re so many question to auctioneer. <Extract of Q& A> Q: when did you received this? A: 3 Nov. I think. I was not at home my mother said so. Q: Can I get the letter come with sign board? I want to check it is real one. Is this for FC members? Q: I you bid I will attach the letter. This was sent to FC member. Q: Can I get brown envelop? You can erase your personal data. A: I you bid I will attach this. According these Q&A auctioneer answers letter and envelop are included and serial # is cleared “700s”. This Arashi’s signboard for auction makeｓ various reaction on the net. “I’m sad Arashi sign board for auction.” A fan says. “If it fake one I don’t wish Yahoo Auction covers bidder.” “I don’t know if it fake one.” “Johnny’s agent must identify the auctioneer.” Etc. How much the price rises. We bear watching in 5 days today I see 3 Arashi sign board auctioneers at Yahoo auction, I’m not happy
Last night Osaka TV show Shinsuke Shimada talks about Arashi, He asked them how many they can get ticket. Actually answer, “each can get only 10 tickets.” Shuichi Kawai-san said that he asked previously to Sho-chan, “If only you and your wife come I can do it…” he answered. Next week Utaban, guest is Arashi! Treasured scenes & Arashi songs selected by fans
Shukudai-kun staff diary. Now I understood the reason of trick… This time the reason why we prepare syrup instead of water and stinky towl… whry as guest is Hibiki I wanted to see “Domo suimasen”(their gag “I’m sorry” with angry face) by Arashi. But Nino, our super S top cat revokes against every twist, then damage goes to Hibiki. We couldn’t see “ Domo Sumimasen!” by Arashi… So, pity… J-web, from 11 Nov over 115 new photos on sale at Johnny’s shops. recent off shoot from pamphlet and goods Kokolog News <anticipation of singer for white team in the air> Once MC of Red and white singing show was announced, the next attention is participant singer. Who will participate this year? On the internet anticipation of singers in the air. Especially candidate for white team. As Masahiro Nakai is selected as MC so SMAP will certainly participate. Bu Arashi who did break this year and has strong sales of CD and DVD will participate? On the net. “Tokyo must have popularity in vast generation.” “Arashi must participate count down concert?” “Arashi must be passed on due to ‘adult circumstances’ this year too” already amid flurries of various speculations…

Ohara Masako of comedy duo Kuwabata Ohara wrote an entry titled 'Tokujou Kabachi!!' in her official blog today (9th November). She wrote that she will be making a guest appearance in the first episode. The entry was written after the actors met up for an introduction meeting. "Beginning with the main characters Sakurai Sho and Horikita Maki, the rest of the cast members which includes Nakamura Masatoshi and Asano Yuko were all gathered in full force." She also wrote about seeing Maki without make-up. "She still looks the same!! Too cute!!"
'Tokujou Kabachi!!', a manga that has been published in weekly magazine 'Morning' since 1999 was made into a drama 'Kabachitare' by Fuji TV in 2001. The popular series averaged 19.3% in ratings over 11 episodes. 'Tokujou Kabachi!!' is a continuation of 'Kabachitare' but this sequel is handled by a different station and a completely different cast so it remains to be seen if it would prove to be a hit for TBS as well.
The entry has been deleted and replaced with one about a fabric softener (ﾟoﾟ;) All that's left it a cached screenshot of when she first made the entry.

A Japanese singer-actress famous in Asia for her sweet, girl-next-door image was given a suspended jail sentence on Monday for using illegal stimulants in the latest celebrity drugs case in Japan.
The court handed down an 18-month jail term, suspended for three years, to 38-year-old Noriko Sakai, who shot to fame in the late 1980s with pop songs and later turned to acting.
Prosecutors had demanded 18 months in prison.

Ohara herself will appear in the first episode, while the main cast consists of Sho Sakurai (Honey and Clover, Yatterman) of the Arashi musical group and Maki Horikita (Always: Sunset on Third Street, Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva).
Tokujō Kabachi!! Kabachitare! 2 has been running in Kodansha's Weekly Morning magazine since 1999, and there are now 18 compiled book volumes published. Both the Tokujō Kabachi!! Kabachitare! 2 manga and the original Kabachitare! manga are the creations of Naniwa Kin'yudo creator Yuuji Aoki. The original Kabachitare! manga has already been adapted into a live-action television drama series in 2001 with a different cast and an average 19.3% rating. Naniwa Kin'yudo was adapted into two live-action television drama series in 1996 and 2007.
The Tokujō Kabachi!! Kabachitare! 2 television series will premiere in January on Japan's TBS network.
Ugh, sounds lame, I'll definitely be passing on this one.
