Thank you for all who came to the show also the staffs who supported the show!!
That was a good show because of you folks, Yuri san, Saaya san, Eri san, Ben chan, and James chan. James had came in very last second before the show started. He was like sliding himself between the space of the door that was about to close. But too bad that Toby could not make it inside the studio. Sorry, man. Togo san could not make it either because of his work, but hopefully we can have them in the studio next time.

Togo san has been a reliable interpreter for last 3 or 4 times, so I have not interpreted for about a month. I felt bit weird to interpret all by myself, but I think I done enough what I could.

The topic was about "mosquito."
The radio staffs told Eri san to pick the topic, so she chose "mosquito" as a topic.
I guess she would like to know how to kill them better or prevent their bites better.

Besides mosquito, we talked about spiders, cockroaches, snakes, so on.
.. well, it sounds not very attractive subjects, but it was fun as always.
We had some interesting stories regarding to those insects and animals from both Ben chan and James chan. Thank you for sharing them, you two.

And, talking about bugs, I found something interesting bug capturing tool in the internet.
The name of the tool is "fly-goodbye." and "mushi mushi getter." Both are available at Amazon Japan too.

[Fly-Goodbye]

at Amazon: Fly-GoodBye

[Mushi Mushi Getter]

at Amazon: Mushi Mushi Getter

I know it's hard to deal with those spiders around your window, but these tools make it little enjoyable. So, get them for your happy bug hunting *s*

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week. Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　　　　　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet. 　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias. 　　 Well, these are my new pages: Please give your "like" on my pages. You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
