...criminals intent on wreaking havoc on Japanese society. In truth, the arrest rate for violent crimes is no different for Chinese - illegal or otherwise - than that for other foreigners residing in Japan. Yet shocking cases, like the 2003 murder of a Japanese family by a trio of Chinese students, cast a shadow on all expatriate Chinese. Equally frustrating for many Chinese living in Japan is a new scheme that requires most foreigners to undergo fingerprinting every time they enter the country...
...beverage area. But now, in the immortal words of Jay-Z, “I see your vision mama [or papa].” I believe in your prophetic powers, and because of this I will do something I should have done a long time ago: I will cast my imaginary No. 1 vote for the Crimson before anything even happens this weekend, in an attempt to pay homage to the real vote you courageously entered before Harvard’s season even began.

This combination creates a sensory overload that is usually quite pleasant—it’s hard to get bored when there’s so much to look at—as well as an ambience...
...whole, the songs are extremely witty. The main cast and the ensemble perform them with aplomb, albeit with a style that is slightly over-dependent on kick-line dancing. A particular standout is Polk’s Ko-Ko, whose every emotion plays itself out exaggeratedly across his face in complete keeping with the play’s nature. Also fantastic is Adam Goldenberg ’08 (who is also a Crimson columnist) as the haughty, money-grubbing official Pooh-Bah. As befits the character, he manages to seem both dignified and pathetic in each scene. The interactions between...
