I always trip out on this story about an English teacher who was murdered in Japan. The person who allegedly killed her, was her student, and he's on the run. Japan is the size of California. There's plenty of people, yet, there's not that much space. How can a guy (Tatsuya Ichihashi) disappear in a country so small? How does one really just disappear?

I always trip out on this story about an English teacher who was murdered in Japan. The person who allegedly killed her, was her student, and he’s on the run. Japan is the size of California. There’s plenty of people, yet, there’s not that much space. How can a guy (Tatsuya Ichihashi) disappear in a country so small? How does one really just disappear? I have a stupid fascination with this, I don’t know why. He can’t use a credit card, can he get a job? Where does he get money? How does he interact with people? This guy went off the grid, changed his identity, and probably lives among people. Maybe he’s homeless. He’s either a genius or straight up lucky. Maybe this renewed effort will help. Link to the story. Second link to another.cafepress shirts with the guy’s face on it.

To celebrate the premiere of Shinjuku Incident today I’m reposting the viral video that was made for the film. The song Let’s Go is by Crudo made up of Dan The Automator(Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School) and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Peeping Tom). This is a viral NOT a trailer made to just give you a taste but reveal nothing! Thaks to Kim Chan for the edit.

I heard about this earlier in the week. Laura Ling and Euna Lee, two journalists were detained in North Korea! I refrained from even talking about it, since it hasn't come out in media yet, but I guess it's official. Laura's older sister is Lisa Ling, a wild newswoman and GR supporter. It's obvious Laura's on the same path of journalism. I hope they get back soon.
