Remember Miyoko Kawakara? She was the Nara woman who spent 2-1/2 years harassing a neighbor she did not like by playing loud music and by screaming insults at the top of her lungs at all times of the day.

The neighbors finally got authorities to act and she was arrested.

A few months later the Nara District Court ordered her to pay 2 million yen in damages to her neighbor.

Now we get word that Kawahara has been sentenced to one year in prison for her actions.

Presiding Judge Tetsuya Okuda said the crime was persistent, insidious and shocking. He also said Miyoko Kawahara, unemployed, had not shown any remorse and could commit similar crimes again.

Kawahara had been charged with inflicting injury on her 65-year-old neighbor, who suffered tension headaches and sleep disorders from the music. Prosecutors had demanded Kawahara be sentenced to three years in prison.

According to the ruling, almost every day from November 2002 to April 2005, Kawahara blasted loud music on a stereo placed near her kitchen door, causing her neighbor across the street to suffer health problems that took a month to recover from.

Problem is that police have had her in custody already for around 250 days since her arrest, which means she will be out in only about 100 days. People in the area have expressed concern about what will happen once Kawahara returns to the neighborhood.

Say. . . Come to think of it, I wonder what ever happened to the feces cooker?
