Check out how Honda and Toyota are aiming at the growing niche market of dog owners in Japan. According to the story, "Japanese now have more dogs and cats than children under 15, and the nation’s No. 2 is using bells and whistles like the Internet, or cars with detachable, easy-to-clean seats, to throw them a bone."

So, um, how does one find his/her rooms.
And do they come gaijin-size?...That's not very surprising to me. Almost comparable with American society.
This is one of the best...That's precisely what I thought myself, but given that the powers-that-be have zero...This isn't your typical boarding school, though. It's where they send the worst...I'm guessing he only passed the million dollar barrier because the dollar is so...Labor Day. Nov. 24 was Labor Day....What's this? Eating Yakinikku, drinking Asahi Super Dry, and living day to day on...Done and done. This is one of those easy topics that won't require divulging all...

If dog owners are a "growing niche market", then what are parents, a "dying fad"? Either way, I think this is a great marketing ploy by the big car manufacturers. Pets are far more economically friendly and self-sufficient than human babies, and that can only mean one thing... more poop!
Unfortunately, yes, parents seem to be a "dying fad." Why else would we see the advent of the New Angel Plan, Baby Drop Boxes, etc.?
And won't there be more poop in any event anyway? Especially if we're talking about avoiding diaper cleanup... Remember, fewer babies, but loads of old people wearing Depends. Eeew.
I love the "Anti-nose print" windows that Honda is pushing. My own dog would not like that as she gets such a kick out of sniffing her reflection!
I'm surprised that all the old geezer politicians (most of them are, right) aren't rallying around stuff like this and calling for more babies. The reaction Yanagisawa got for the baby-machine comments really scared the rest of the codgers off.
