    No, no, no, no! That would be using your initiative. Something Japanese don't seem to have.

    Adding extra train is easy.
    Extra platform? Not gonna happen.

    In the 2nd video I thought the official in the hat was going to actually stop the guy in the leather jacket from pushing! When he started to help, I thought OMG NEVER! I don't suffer from claustrophobia but if I did, I would die in Japan!

    Something for me to look forward to on my eventual trip(s) to Japan going between Tokyo and Noda...

    Lol white glovies.

    DENSHA DE GO: How to play "conductor's work".

    1.- Tell the driver which station you have to go selecting them from the station menu.
    2.- Announce all the stops to the driver and traffic lights, speed limitations, etc, with O and X buttons.
    3.- When you arrive to the station, get out with the Select button.
    4.- Use the R and L buttons for pushing passengers into the train! If the door gets stuck, use the Select button for calling other officials for pushing the passengers inside the train!

    That would be a true simulator and not that dude saying shinko all the time with that "I'm shitting myself" voice. XD

    See, now I probably caught at least every train in and around Tokyo when I was there, and never saw stuff like that. I caught the first train, the rush hour trains, and the last trains. The only time I couldn't sit where I wanted was on the peak trains to/from Kyoto from/to Tokyo.

    You most likely didn't. It's pretty obscene when you look at the big picture (50 lines?), and there are plenty in "Tokyo" that don't come into the city. The trains in the video these days are a select few in the morning rush hour only. Trains like the Yamanote which have a huge amount of traffic generally don't get to that level b/c they run ever 2 minutes or so.

    Exactly. There's quite a few I've never seen or heard of and I've lived here for an accumulative 8 years. ;) But yeah, the whole people pushing thing is somewhat rare. Seems Japanese are starting to live a bit more like white people these days.

    The second video is BRUTAL! the way they stuck people in reminds me of myself trying to get a ton of dirty clothes in a small bag:lol:

    But I've seen worst though, like this fat guy they hired to push people in while walking backwards.

    Do girls there have tazer or pepper spray? no?

    I'm going to japan:dance:

    Statistically, they live better than the other colors. I use it here (in Japan, not just the post above) to denote the differences in lifestyle of Japan and the west. Namely box-like housing that are the most inefficiently planned buildings on the planet.

    Absolutely!

    Awesome... I think...

    I went to the "Idol" shop in Akihabara around the back thinking it was mainstream Idol stuff as my mate wanted some photo-books of some actresses and... well... what they lose in censorship they more than make up for in other departments! :cool:

    No prices on anything though... and I was a little too embarassed to ask how much some of them were!

    One of my old bosses one time rented a porn from Tsutaya (Japanese Blockbuster for lack of a better term). Assuming it would be nice and soft, he was in utter shock when a woman was tied up and sodomized with a broom stick and shat all over the floor. He said he wanted to write into Tsutaya. I told him not to bother... they were well aware of what was on the tape.
