"Loose Change"日本語版 the 9/11 expose, in Japanese



*After some debate we have posted the above video and gone ahead with this article. We debated because Nipponster.com strives to remain neutral and this video is very political and controversial. In the end, (although we refrain from an opinion) the questions it raises and its translation into Japanese have landed it here.

I first heard about " Loose Change" (English Version) from James. He introduced me to it and The Great Conspiracy, a Canadian documentary. After watching them I wondered if people in other countries have heard these video so I searched Nipponster.

The video speaks for itself. So I'll shut up :)

We are having some technical problems with the hot search archive.
So I will list the newly retired hot searches in this post (until we have it fixed).


On the bright side, this is the perfect kick in the pants I needed to get motivated and finish the new hot search archive! :)

How Japanese Search Engines Work :P

"Every Morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running."
- African Proverb



On that note, this is "How Japanese Search Engines Work" HEHEHE :P




(It's little dodgy at end)
I think this is perfect video for Nipponster because we are Japan-enthusiast search engine. And we are learning whether we are "a lion or gazelle" to be successful we better start running (update quicker, release new thing quicker).


Thank you all for continued support,
Keitaro
