The fish was divided into 10,000 pieces and sold off at ordinary prices, The Daily Telegraph reported."Japan has been through a lot the last year due to the disaster," a beaming Kimura told AP Television News. "Japan needs to hang in there. So I tried hard myself and ended up buying the most expensive one."
Wake up! :-(
