Loser husband of Japan's Princess Mako fails the bar examination for the second time!

So she volunteers at an art gallery and he's still in school?

Wow, we should all be so lucky to be able to afford to live in luxury in NYC, and not have a job.

The third time's the charm.

So what, I failed 5 times.

JFK Jr needed three time to pass

LOSER.

No wonder they had to leave their home country.

She should be embarrassed for marrying such a toad.

But clearly, she has no shame.

Pls. He's hawt. She digs him. He married well.

R4, are you also R2?

The wife needs to start worrying when he orders the entire catalogue of Yukio Mishima from Amazon.jp.

[quote] He's hawt.

Yeah, not so much.

sorry for you, R9

Hillary flunked twice up North, then she took the test in Arkansas when Bill was Governor.

She's no longer Princess Mako, OP.

[quote]JFK Jr needed three time to pass

And how many times for that pilot's license?

^ License? I needed a pilots license to fly my airplane? 🤔

Oops

[quote] The third time's the charm.

With six you get eggroll!

How's his Japanese hardon? Pixelated?

How cute he looks

R8 One of your WWs is from me in complete shock that someone on DL is familiar with Mishima Yukio.

[quote] One of your WWs is from me in complete shock that someone on DL is familiar with Mishima Yukio.

Ah so.

NYS bar exam is one of the most difficult. Adding to this recent changes maybe piling onto a trend of decreasing pass rates year to year.

New York State Board of Law Examiners says...

JFK Jr. failed NYS bar exam twice before finally nailing it.

Michelle Obama failed at her first attempt, but subsequently passed Illinois bar exam.

Jerry Brown, Pete Wilson, Hillary Clinton, and even FDR all failed bar exam at first go, and they have plenty of company.

I passed the first time but it’s grueling. There was a girl sitting behind me and after the first break she didn’t come back. I couldn’t imagine doing that — three years of law school and all the prep?

If it all were only this easy.....

He was born in Japan and English would be a 2nd language. There is an essay portion of the exam. Plus the multiple choice part is wordy as well.

I don't know much about this guy, but if he has the nads to take on the Japanese Royal Family and the NY Bar, I'd say he's pretty ambitious. He sounds like a catch

He’s handsome, and who cares about a career? His wife is set for life. Good for her.

[quote] His wife is set for life

Where is her money coming from?

She lost her title of Princess, and she also declined the $1.4 million cash payment offered by the government, to royal family members who step down from their position.

Technically, she should have to find work. Like everyone else.

He's a lot smarter than prince Harry and William. Degree in history of art.

They're so cute 🤗 They look like two anime characters

[quote]I needed a pilots license to fly my airplane? 🤔

You also needed an apostrophe for the word "pilots."

R29

That payment is a dowry given to female members of Japanese RF who marry commoners. Doing so they automatically are removed from RF and of course any civil list or other payments. Above all Japanese government want or wish to ensure once royal princess will not live in penury after her marriage, but in somewhat of a style befitting her former rank.

He's cute.

Any online nudes or at least shirtless pics?

[quote] and even FDR

That consummate scholar!

Not that big a deal. Many people who go on to have excellent law careers fail the bar more than once.

[quote] That payment is a dowry given to female members of Japanese RF who marry commoners.

[quote] Above all Japanese government want or wish to ensure once royal princess will not live in penury after her marriage, but in somewhat of a style befitting her former rank.

Yes, but she declined the dowry.

So where is her money coming from now?

@r32, You are such a special little grammar Nazi, you caught an apostrophe 🤗

Her parents are probably supporting her financially.

Do you really think her family wants pictures of her homeless? Please!

[quote] Her parents are probably supporting her financially.

I guess the plan was for her husband to support her with his job as an attorney at a prestigious NYC law firm.

But we can all see how that's working out. Haha.

@r40, Of course, just because she's not a princess, she's still rich as hell...

"The total economic value of the Imperial properties was estimated at ¥650 million in 1935 which is approximately US$195 million at prevailing exchange rates and $19.9 billion as of 2017."

[quote] The total economic value of the Imperial properties

Key words: Imperial Properties

A) She's the niece of the Emperor, and not the daughter of the Emperor. Sort of like Beatrice and Eugenie.

B) She gave up all her rights and benefits of being a member of the royal family.

So I'm guessing that she has lost all rights to inherit any of that.

He's obviously a complete chimpo.

He’s VERY good looking. I’d marry him.

Prince William's degree covered geography, biology, AND art, and he wrote his senior dissertation on the Rodrigues coral reefs. He got an upper second degree, and got A levels on those subjects as well.

Kate's degree was in art history.

And since William was smart enough to wait to marry the right woman and is Britain's second most popular royal, I'd say he's showing plenty of smarts.

Where Harry is concerned, the sneering poster upthread may have a point. They don't call him Dimwit for nothing.

It's not uncommon to fail the bar exam more than once.

It's like getting your driving licence: you really only start learning how to drive after you get it.

"Princess Mako is a former Princess and member of the Japanese imperial family. She is the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince of Japan, Prince Fumihito, and Princess Kiko. Mako recently gave up her imperial title and left the imperial family after she married a commoner, Kei Komuro on October 26, 2021. As of 2022, Princess Mako net worth is estimated to be around $10 million."

They're fine and thank you for your concern

"Where Harry is concerned, the sneering poster upthread may have a point. They don't call him Dimwit for nothing. "

We're fine...

R47

Thank you!

Former Princess Mako was a thirty some odd year old grown assed woman when she married. Like any other member of Japan's RF she amassed wealth or a tidy fortune way scions of such families do. You didn't hear anything about jewels, property or any other assets being taken away, nor former princess being required to return any money or whatever.

No different than Prince William and Prince Harry, who each have considerable wealth of their own.

^ Don't tell the royal snobs who frequent DL. They're convinced if you're not a royal in good standing you're out on the street without a penny 🙄

He has perfect facial structure. Flawless skin.

Mako declined the dowdry which would've been paid straight from the state coffers, I think she got provided excellently by the family.

What I really like about Mako is that she accepted the house law according to which one loses their royal title when they get married to a non-royal in a dignified manner. She wanted to live her own life and in order to do so, she gave up her titles and perks, unlike some other former royals who insist on being referred to using their titles which connect them to their royal affiliation. *cough cough*

"He has perfect facial structure. Flawless skin."

The article linked at r28 shows him with his father. His father was a real looker

@r52, I don't think it's fair to compare British royals with Japanese royals. Two completely different cultures and royal houses, but you Fraus are rarely fair about anything 🙄

R43 Her father is Crown Prince and her little brother is in line after that. Not like Andrew at all.

Passing exams like this takes certain amount of nerdiness and self-discipline. Most successful lawyers are not nerds. Law is a very easy subject though.

Whenever the Japanese Imperial Family are discussed, I always find myself feeling a bit sorry for Prince Hisahito who is, effectively, the only hope that the present line has of continuing (unless they decide to allow females in the line of succession, which they would simply have to do if anything happens to Hisahito). It's a lot to have on your teenaged shoulders.

I think it’s mean to go after people who have decided on a private life. She’s not on Oprah and she never will be. Just leave them be.

In many ways Japan's imperial family and their court remain firmly stuck in another century. That has created all sorts of problems including producing enough male heirs.

Not surprisingly Japanese young women aren't breaking down doors to marry into Japan's Imperial Family, and those who do get in often quite literally are driven mad from various pressures.

Adding to their woes, Japan's Imperial Family doesn't seem to have a very strong seed for breeding male children. Girls they have, but since that sex cannot inherit....

[quote] Adding to their woes, Japan's Imperial Family doesn't seem to have a very strong seed for breeding male children. Girls they have, but since that sex cannot inherit....

Time to start importing some korean and chinese comfort women!

Mako's brother. the heir to the throne, probably is an IVF kid. His mother has a very smug look on her face, she looks like the perfect power-hungy bitch.

R57 - Save your sympathies. Hisahito has been the adored golden apple of the JRF since he saw the light. His parents, the Emperor's younger brother and sister-in-law, were perfectly happy with their little family of four, with two daughters.

When it became clear that Naruhito's wife would never bear another child, let alone a male heir, the younger brother's wife was, er, "encouraged" to try for a boy on a third try. Which meant, of course, taking no chances and going with in vitro fertilisation. She was also confined to bed rest for the later months to be absolutely sure the baby was brought to term and healthy.

Being the dutiful woman she is, she followed along. I remember the photo of her leaving the hospital with the newborn BOY in her arms, and a smile on her face that would put in the shade the cat that ate the canary.

Your sympathies should go to the humiliated Empress Masako, whose life had been made miserable enough by the medieval men who control the Chrysanthemum Throne, and that of her daughter, pushed aside for a dick and balls that would never have to lead armies into battle, just smile and wave and attend other royal weddings and funerals.

It really was quietly ugly and awful. No wonder Masako has been clinically depressed for years.

When Masako finally agreed to marry Naruhito, it was because he swore he would protect her from the court. You can see how badly he failed.

She had a career, a fine education. She could have married any number of men and led a happy, wealthy, fulfilling life with a family that wasn't labelled second-class by strangers who looked at her through a glass that was living in past centuries.

I thought it horrible.

What one hopes of Hisahito is that he hasn't been utterly spoilt and raised to think he ranks just below God because of that little cock.

Can you imagine Masako's feelings looking at this?!

Well, them's the breaks, bitch.

Don't worry about these former royals and money. They get the best financial advice and investment opportunities to turn a million into 10 million and 10 million into 50 million. Much of their financial holdings are held in LLCs so no one can trace it to them. And royal and imperial families have been stashing money into Swiss or offshore bank accounts for hundreds of years. They have more money than they can spend regardless of giving up titles.

[quote] Don't worry about these former royals and money. They get the best financial advice and investment opportunities to turn a million into 10 million and 10 million into 50 million.

Case in point.

There's no way her stupid, grifting husband would have been set up with such a prestigious NYC law firm, if not for his connection to the Japanese royal family.

This guy would have been laughed out of Manhattan.

He is very cute!

Wouldn't mind picking his disconcertingly straight pubes out of my teeth a time or two.

STFU you objectifying rice queen at R67!

He's still short. r51.

Another rice queen at R69.

She gave up her titles and a life of being fawned over to be with her husband. She isn’t seeking fame in the US. I think the media needs to back off. She didn’t chose to be Royal but she did chose to give it all up to be with the man she loves. Let her live her life in peace.

Choose

She can always go back to where she came from.

Did they even bother to check her papers when she entered this country?

I thought we had a no foreigners immigration policy.

Lock her up! MAGA!

[QUOTE] Being the dutiful woman she is, she followed along. I remember the photo of her leaving the hospital with the newborn BOY in her arms, and a smile on her face that would put in the shade the cat that ate the canary.

Can you imagine marrying the Andrew of the family only to be given a promotion of both future Empress and mother of the future Emperor? She’s probably still pinching herself.

He’s really hot though. He could still get it.

[quote]She gave up her titles and a life of being fawned over to be with her husband.

She gave up having every waking moment of every day controlled by the Imperial Household Ministry.

The bureaucrats control every aspect of the Imperial Family. It's not like Queen Elizabeth who has a say in what does or does not happen.

Frankly, the women probably marry commoners who are too stupid to know what it's like to live under the microscope that comes from marrying a former imperial princess.

[quote]When Masako finally agreed to marry Naruhito, it was because he swore he would protect her from the court. You can see how badly he failed.

The worst part has to be that his mother, Empress Michiko, herself was treated horribly by Akihito's mother, Empress Kojun. Many people thought she would be kinder to Masako having gone through such horrible treatment.

Unfortunately, it seems that Michiko decided that she would take out her anger on Masako.

Can we please keep British RF bullshit out of Japanese RF bullshit? There no escape with you people.

If people thought Maria-Antonia of Austria, Alexandra of Hesse Darmstadt of and by the Rhine, even Kate Middleton or that Markle woman had tough time adjusting to royal status, Empress Masako has them beat by miles. That poor woman was literally beaten and worn down by not just JIF, but the "Grey Men" as it were who run things behind scenes.

You'd think in 20th century a wife (even noble or royal) would no longer be beaten down, humiliated, and devalued over failure to breed an heir, but that is exactly what happened with Masako.

R34 There are nudes of Komuro all over the net - so hot! Just Google and enjoy. He also has “an” OnlyFans where he briefly presents hole. I’ve blown many loads to Komuro-san’s sweet pink chrysanthemum.

Kei Komuro will sort himself out, try again and eventually pass either NYS's bar exam or maybe try elsewhere.

It might be a bit like clip in R24 from film "The Paper Chase", with KK locking himself away with one or more excellent tutors and cramming the fuck out of areas he has done badly in on prior exams.

He's working already at big law, and if partners, and or associates aren't all total A-Holes (no firm is 100% free of same, alas more is the pity), Kei Komuro will receive support needed.

New York wasn't so hard. I did self-study for one month and passed the first time. It may be because he's an ESL student.

What a dummy. Maybe he should try the baby bar. Anyone can pass that.

He's got a cute face and most likely has a cute pucker to match. If the money ever starts to dry up and the family refuses to lend them any well you know.....

Scions of royalty often are no different than any other wealthy or well off family. Anderson Coopers kids will likely be worth more money by their teens than most or all posting in this thread. It's just how people with wealth roll. Children (and gifts made to them) represent one of the largest deductions for most tax codes around world.

Yes, for children of poor royal families things might be different, but don't let small size of Japan fool you; JIF is loaded.

He gets more handsome every year he matures.

R42 The Imperial properties are owned by the state, not by the Imperial family. They can no more sell them than Queen Elizabeth could sell Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle or Holyrood Palace.

The JIF aren’t poverty stricken but you can’t compare their finances to those of other Royal families - much of their power and wealth was stripped from them at the end of World War II.

They're still doing fine...

"In 2017, Emperor Akihito had an estimated net worth of US$40 million"

What they had and have is explained nicely here

R75 She may be the mother of the future Emperor but she only gets to be Empress if Narihito diesnwhivh would have been the case even without that third child.

Without a male heir, Akeshino was always next in line after his older brother.

It is as if that daughter of Naruhito didn't exist. It is akin to Andrew being in line after Charles if Diana had had two girls instead of two boys.

Even in the monarchy on Britain of 500 years ago girls inherited if no male heir existed in the immediate line. As Churchill said when the 25 year old Elizabeth came to the throne in 1952, "Famous have been the reigns of our Queens."

So it wasn't a promotion because of the baby's birth, but because of her husband not being pushed further down by Madako having sons.

I despise the Japanese monarchy. Ffs, it's 2022. Japan is a Parliamentary democracy. The Emperor is a total figurehead, even more so than Britain's monarch, who has several constitutional rights and a far higher profile at home.

It's truly staggering that one of the most modernised post-industrial countries in the world still clings to this.

^*Masako

$US40 million really isn’t that much for an Emperor / Constitutional monarch, especially if/when it filters down to his younger brother, who could die before him. His younger brother’s formerly royal daughter couldn’t expect much. And I doubt that she ever has.

^ It isn't bad considering they had to turn most of their wealth over after WWII. Trying to make Mako and her family out to be some empty vessel of a monarchy rings a little hollow. By most standards they're still loaded

He is beautiful. And she is the princess, daddy surely gives her some allowance, who gives a shit about the bar exam.

The weird thing is Japan had several ruling empresses centuries ago. It's not like it never happened.

I’d laugh if she she ended up having a couple or three boys.

^ It will probably happen marrying a gene pool that's not shooting all XXs

[quote]"In 2017, Emperor Akihito had an estimated net worth of US$40 million"

LOL - that's less than Harry and probably on par with Edward.

^ $40 million will probably still get you a good table at the most exclusive restaurants

I wish my life was so great that I could sneeze at $40 million

[quote]I wish my life was so great that I could sneeze at $40 million

While $40 mm is a lot of money and most people would not sneeze at it, it's not sufficient to live the "celebrity" lifestyle.

You're living very comfortably, could afford to send your kids to private schools, and such. But, you're not living lavishly. In a city like Tokyo or NYC, you couldn't afford to own a 5000sqft 5 bdrm apartment. You're flying first class commercial, not owning a private jet.

We should all live so well, but there is a huge jump between having $40mm and having $400mm like Charles is supposed to have.

^ What celebrity? A former princess marries a young lawyer and moves to New York with her multiple millions. They lead a happy, upper-middleclass life

Perhaps you're confusing the celebrity British Royal Family with the much lower key Japanese Royal Family

The Emperor of Japan is Naruhito, not Akehito.

And prior to selling his soul to the media he pretends to hate, that was about the level of hos trust fund, which he allegedly has decimated over the last few years.

None of these people are poor. But the mega players on the modern royal chessboard are, in order of wealth, Lichtenstein, the House of Orange-Nassau (The Netherlands), and then the Windsors.

And probably none of them them are as rich as the Gulf sheiks.

She isn't a very beautiful princess but she could do better. He's too short.

The law firm he works for is in fucking New Jersey.

R101 in 2017, as quoted above, the Emperor of Japan was Akehito.

What's the deal with Japan sticking to male primogeniture? So stupid. Even the Brits finally gave it up when Kate was pregnant with George just in case.

Gay asian porn is so hot. Lots of licking, sucking, kissing.

[quote] Kei Komuro will sort himself out, try again and eventually pass either NYS's bar exam or maybe try elsewhere.

He doesn't have to pass the bar. Many people with law degrees never practice but can still go on to big things especially if they're well-connected.

I’d gladly lick this bar exam failure.

Monaco has male primogeniture, too. So has Liechtenstein.

yes, I agree there are many hot looking Asian men. He's not one of them.

He actually looks and sounds quite bright.

R104 It's not even male primogeniture (males before females regardless of birth order): it's male ONLY.

No woman can inherit the throne.

That's why the court rushed off to Akeshino's wife when it became obvious Masako was lousy breeder.

And didn't take chances and leave it to fate.

The Emperor's younger brother is next in the line of succession: not the Emperor's actual offspring, simply by virtue of being female.

As noted above, it would be akin to Andrew being Charles's successor if Diana had only had girls, and since Andrew only had girls, they would have been left out of the line, too, and it would still be Charles Andrew Edward. It would, ironically, out Edward's son, Viscount Severn, next on line.

Princess Mako, Naruhito's daughter, was ineligible for the throne the moment she was conceived.

why don't they go for IVF or whatever? they can select gender too.

But I really thought all Japanese people were super smart. Why isn’t he?

Thanks r111. Even more limiting then. I wonder what would happen if they had the sitting emperor chose his successor, like King Hussein did in Jordan? Just make it a kind of free for all.

Ancient Japan and ancient China too both had feminist/matriarchal aspects. Conflicting beliefs- Confucianism is anti-feminist but Daoism, also an ancient belief system in China, is feminist. Shintoism evidently had feminist aspects in the past too. Maybe the times will be changing again soon.

He is hot and obviously has high aspirations. Harry and Meg are bums compared to these two.

There's something so sophisticated about the Japanese Imperial Family, which is why they're my fav royals. Empress Michiko just oozes class and Empress Masako was a total babe when she was younger.

It pisses me off that Princess Aiko is being pushed aside for her younger male cousin. She is the true heir and should be the future Empress of Japan.

R112 they undoubtedly did. The result is Mako's brother who was created, ahem, conceived about fifteen years after Mako and her younger sister.

One Ring to rule them all!!!!

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

If only Masako got pregnant now and gave birth to a boy.

Imagine Mako's mother's smug grin turning sour upon her little emperor-in-waiting being relegated from the throne. LOL.

I had no idea there were so many rice queens on Datalounge.

I really feel for this couple. I don't think it's fair calling him a loser either. It's taken great courage, and risk doing what he has. He's multilingual, moved across the world, and won the heart of a princess... hardly seems like a loser to me.

Things weren't all that great for last Chinese empresses....

Oh noes! Try again, Kei!

I think he and Mako need to hang out with Harry and Meghan. Good idea?

R99 - let me chime in. We (gay couple) earn about 1.3 million a year from passive income, and have a net worth of about 30 million. We live well, but I still take out the trash, clean up my dog’s shit, buy my socks and underwear at Marshalls, and shop for groceries to get the best deal. I suppose it sounds weird, but I don’t consider us “rich” by any stretch of the term, just kind of upper middle class and very fortunate. That sounds kind of self-satisfied and I have no illusions that it couldn’t go to shit somehow, but it’s not a fortune. I know…I know…boo hope for me…

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R124 and I can neither afford my château nor risk the wrath of my family and disinheritance of my mother's fortune if I sell. So, I distract myself with young playthings who love my 9 inch cock. Surely with 30 million you can afford proper Swiss socks and underwear, and an English shirt or two. No?

I’m sure her father makes sure she isn’t starving in NYC, what impact would a $5k allowance for his daughter be to the Crown Prince of Japan?

^ She came into the marriage with $10 million of her own, they're fine 🙄

Kei Komuro was a paralegal back in Japan. He won a scholarship to Fordham law for one-year LL.M program 2018. He then continued on for what should have been two years to receive a J.D.. But KK didn't graduate Fordham law until May of 2021. Maybe this was covered elsewhere in thread giving reasons why it took three years to complete his J.D. degree.

In any event maybe it was all too new a bit fast. Going from paralegal into L.L.M and onto law school.

This route is common enough for foreign trained lawyers, but comments in Daily Fail link R125 are interesting.

[quote]Maybe this was covered elsewhere in thread giving reasons why it took three years to complete his J.D. degree.

A law degree is usually 3 years and an LLM is additional time AFTER getting the JD.

I'm not sure why you're boggled by this.

"Mr. Komuro has received the Michael M. Martin Scholarship. The Martin Scholarship is a merit scholarship covering the full cost of tuition from Fordham Law based on his strong academic and other credentials. The Martin Scholarship is not a loan and does not need to be repaid. He will enter the law school’s one-year LL.M. program and then hopes to continue for two more years to receive a J.D."

Mako has all or most of money in this marriage. Whatever KK has besides his salary as law clerk isn't generally known. But Mako has stated publicly last year when her husband failed NYS bar exam first time she would support him while he studied to retake again.

Couple live in an "luxury condo" somewhere in Hell's Kitchen, KK doesn't have that kind of money, so Mako and or her family must have paid. Until her US visa is settled and given a green card Mako cannot legally work in USA. So again it's highly unlikely this former Japanese royal is living in NYC on a law clerk's salary.

wait so they both have work visas? I know you can work for 1 year after completing your studies.

I feel sorry for the guy. He's trying to study a complex subject in a foreign language and in a foreign country with the media looking on.

I don't feel sorry for him ^ i admire him and Mako for trying to make it in America and build their own lives.

Ha ha!!

Wow. Talk about affirmative action.

There is only one reason this moron got the scholarship, and it's called CONNECTIONS.

This should be investigated, because I am 100% sure he was not the most qualified, nor the most deserving candidate for this scholarship.

wait, so is she still a princess? what is her official title?

Japanese citizens can travel to the USA without a visa.

How the fuck he's still able to work is the question. Unless he's also an intern and now getting paid. I'm sure his visa has already expired.

Far as one knows none of the professional licensing exams in NYS have limit on number of times can be retaken . You'd think after failing several times and or after certain period post graduation some sort of requirement mandating returning to class or something would exist.

Know of a few that failed NYS bar at least three times. Also know graduate nurses who failed NCLEX board exam more than several times, in most cases those retaking were out of school for well over one or even two years....

As someone posted upthread, there is quite a lot one can do with a law degree but not being admitted to any state bar. Some graduates of lower tier schools and others for various reasons just give up after failing bar exam even just the once.

He’s no Ansel Elgort in Tokyo Vice, that’s for sure.

Kei Komuro likely came to USA on a student visa. It is possible to file for adjustment to status after graduating.

Above being said whatever visa KK has according to media reports expires in July 2022. If he didn't pass NYS bar (and he did not), his immigration status will be in jeopardy.

And one was correct, KK did take advantage of OPT program, but time granted for him to remain in USA under that scheme is running out.

His current employer could sponsor KK for a visa, but they would be hard pressed to defend any sort of difficulty in finding American law school grads willing to work as clerks.

Given Mrs. Komuro's family, am sure strings are going to be pulled both from Japanese and American side of things. But then again that opens up a huge can of worms once word gets out.

@r151, You actually read all the drivel @r124? 😂

He's doing it esl. Most Americans could not do that. Different culture also. Plus racism. Plus Asians are small ugly by our standards. call him a loser if u like.

He can stay with me, then. I know how to roll sushi.

LL.M versus J.D.

Oh, so Kim k claims she passed the bar? where is the proof? such things are public records.

She didn't have to do it in a foreign language.

Also, I am wondering how she is allowed to work. She may not have needed a visa to get into the USA but I doubt she's allowed to work even if it's unpaid. But I suppose volunteering is a different story.

Mako applied for and apparently received some sort of US visa..

For record spouses and other dependents of those here on student visas do qualify for visas as well.

Who is "Kim K" or "she" for that matter R170?

We know K. Komuro graduated from Fordham law (see page 16 of link)

No one every said Mako Komuro graduated from law school much less took bar exam.

[quote] Who is "Kim K" or "she" for that matter

Kim Kardashian. She recently passed the bar.

The princess needs eye surgery to have Caucasian look.

Looking at that Fordham law commencement program saw good number of Asian surnames. Of course cannot say if these are American or international students. But at least KK wasn't alone....

It’s very sad he cannot afford a tutor.

I think they have hot sexy coitus at least 3x per week. For sure Mako was a virgin until him.

I am curious to see how many posters on this thread can speak another language let alone do the equivalent of the bar exam in that language.

I don’t want to knock this guy because I don’t know the extent of his English language skills.

That said…. since NY state adopted the UBE (Uniform Bar Exam—same shit that flyover states use as their bar) a few years ago, the NY bar has become a bit of a joke. As a practicing lawyer who passed both NY and NJ on the first go about 8 years ago (at a time when passing the NY bar still carried *some* prestige), generally speaking, you really have to be a bit of retard to flunk the current NY bar exam, especially more than once (assuming you’re an English speaker and matriculated from a legit US law school).

R56, definitely disagree with that. Most successful lawyers I know are indeed nerds. I say that as one (hopefully somewhat successful…)

R182 OT but the preservation of animistic Shinto faith is one of my favourite features of Japanese culture. The children all learn Pagan customs as part of their heritage, and it’s really beautiful.

There are so few surviving and thriving spiritual systems of that type left in the world today, and we are all poorer for it.

R175 To my knowledge, that's more of a Korean thing. Her eyes are fine as they are.

R179 Agreed.
