Some young Japanese are even getting pretty good at musical chairs.

Two years ago they asked me to nominate some promising young Japanese.

Two of them were middle-aged; the third was the young Japanese who had abducted him.

A growing number of younger Japanese are preferring not to marry or have families.

Many young Japanese have simply given up on finding work or getting further education.

In fact, many young Japanese are appalled by their country's war record.

There is a growing sense of nationalism among young Japanese.

More likely, though, younger Japanese will try another tack, eating something else.

In part this is because few young Japanese have drug problems.

There may be a glimmer of hope among younger Japanese.
