is he for ... or against.. 
I'm from Malcesine, thats in northern italy but my family is originaly from Bari. Bari is very much in the south of Italy.
I did not know our soap operas are popular in Japan. Im not that much into that kind of stories. Well for the kissing...we do it pretty intense.We are hot blooded people.
I know a little bit about Hokkaido. I saw the cranes in TV and i saw a story about a maneater bear that killed many people there 100 years ago. I also know those monkeys that swim in hot pools and so on.
Hahaha! Yes , those monkeys are also fond of swimming on hot pools when pools are occupied by people lol. Good to see you have heard of Hokkaido. I personally dislike the cities of the south, per se Tokyo where there is a chauvinism present. Imperial Tokyo, as we refer to it, and I don't particularly like how they refer to other cities and rural areas as slow, backwards.
I'm a rural type of guy. I love sitting in the fields at night watching stars, breathing fresh air, and prefer the quaintness of the country than cities. The village where my mother comes from is at the tip of Hokkaido, where there is te vestiges of Ainu community. It's my favorite place to go.
It's funny you mentioned bears. Bear meat is popular in Hokkaido, the people there prefer red meat as compared to people in rest of Japan who prefer fish and seafood.
Now as for Italian women. Mama Mia! I am currently residing in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA. There's a lot of Italian Americans here. Italian women are sexy, they tan very well too. Lol.
Ciao mon ami,
I'm Japanese, and come from a military family. You guess.

He is against.is he for ... or against..
According to news report, the majority of the Japanese public is against. But the Japanese prime minister Abe is poise to do it despite strong public objection.
This man obviously felt very strongly about the issue, and had unfortunately resort to such drastic action to express/protest his and some of his country man political wish.
This could be because the Japanese democratic political system has fail him and he become desperate.

'Stop war': Thousands protest in Japan over military expansion law change
Russia Today
Thousands gathered outside the Japanese prime minister's office to protest constitutional changes that would expand Japan's military role and allow overseas deployment. It comes one day after a man set himself on fire in protest against a proposed law.
Protest organizers have estimated that 10,000 people – including students, pensioners, and women – attended the rally outside Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s office in Tokyo. However, police put the number of participants at “several thousand.”
The demonstration comes on the eve of a cabinet meeting, where lawmakers are expected to endorse a resolution that would expand the use of Japan's military by reforming the constitution.
Chanting “Don’t destroy the Constitution” and “We absolutely oppose reinterpretation of the Constitution,” as well as “We don’t need the right to collective self-defense,” demonstrators expressed their opposition to what they say is a “historical turning point,” the Japan Times reported.
Protesters are angered by the fact that Abe’s government is making changes to the constitution – not by the democratic process of referendum, but by changing the interpretation of it in a Cabinet meeting.
"Protect the constitution!" the demonstators shouted, according to AP. "Stop war. Stop Abe. Abe quit right now!"
The change will significantly widen Japan's military options, as it will end the ban on "collective self-defense," or aiding a friendly country under attack.
Since the end of World War II, the Japanese constitution has forbidden the use of military force against other nations. It may only use its armed forces in self-defense. Japan's military has not engaged in combat since 1945.
But the prime minister says the change is needed because of regional tensions – particularly China's military expansion, and missile and nuclear threats from North Korea.
The move, however, is opposed by at least half the population, according to the latest polls.
A recent survey published on Monday by Nikkei Asia Review shows that 50 percent of respondents oppose dropping the ban, while 34 percent support the change.
In a dramatic act of protest, a middle-aged man set himself on fire on Sunday to express his opposition to the government’s plans to change Japan’s pacifist constitution.
As the activist finished his speech, he doused himself in what appeared to be gasoline and set himself ablaze in front of hundreds of onlookers. A video showing the protest appeared on YouTube.
Abe’s cabinet could finalize a resolution as early as Tuesday, as his ruling Liberal Democratic party [LDP] has secured the support of its junior coalition partner, New Komeito, which has a strong pacifist tradition and was previously against the change.
