Japan doesn’t welcome us. So just don’t go and don’t visit. I used to love to travel to Japan for the fine dining, the onsen and visit friends. Specially looked this up again to verify if the finger print rule is active. Since some friends are inviting me to visit them in Tokyo, it would be a pity if I refuse to give my finger prints and have to return on the same plane.

I think it could be possible for permanent residences to challenge these measures in court. First point: Special PR don`t need to get fingerprinted. Second: Privacy laws appy to everybody in Japan. Third: The Constitution is the supreme law in Japan and applies to anyone. The legal argument would be to use Article 14, everybody is equal before the law. Maybe it will end up having the Zainichi being fingerprinted!

Why all this fuss about Japanese fingerprinting, anyway ? It is their country and they can make any rule they want. Just imagine you are giving them the finger…all 10 of them and you will feel much better.

Oh geez stop all ur crappy moaning like a baby, So what if japan want to do finger printing etc… its there country they can do what ever they want to for security issues. Bottom line is if you want to enter there country then you follow the rules, if not then DONT BOTHER GOING DUH!!! Oh my God why bring up the war, Geez!!! Am glad the way they run things, all u westerns wana do is take over other countries so u can turn it in to another westernised country. U also have started wars remember!!! so shut up before u say crap about other countries..

japanese immigration’s move to take a fingerprint specipen for foreigners entering their beloved country is not at all impressive! that’s too much for foreigners to bear, in psychology that is what we call delussions of grandeur, and that’s exactly what japanese behaviors are… PARANOID,XENOPHOBIC,NEUROTIC and worse PSYCHOTIC. I wonder if japan could stand on her own without the U.S’ effort to hedge them with protection… DAME DA! GAIJIN WA BAKA NI SHINAIDE YO! JAPAN must reverse their negative outlook for GAIJIN! ENOUGH OF THE CRUELTIES YOU”VE DONE AND STILL DOING TO FOREIGNERS SPECIALLY WITH YOUR NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES. IKAGEN NI SHIRO! AGAIN, YOU SHOULD AMMEND YOUR POST WAR KIND OF IMMIGRATION LAW ALL OF WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURRIED ALONGSIDE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE AUTHORED YOUR LAWS NOW RESTED IN PEACE…YAMETTE KURE! TANOMU YO!
