August 5th, 2015 Miyako International Community Radio via Miyako Harbor Radio 82.6 FM [LIVE]



Assistant Producer: Saaya Tazawa

Guest: Togo Sasaki 
Member: Ito Shunsuke


Thank you very much for your support, radio staffs and members yesterday. 
It was awesome show even though there was no foreigner because of their summer vacation. 
So Togo san was a guest, and I was there just as myself, not as an interpreter.   
I thought it was a good time to introduce Togo san properly to the listeners since they may not know about Togo san well even though he has been doing the interpreter for the show about couple months. Then, the show was like "Togo san Special." 
  
Togo san talked about his experience in Germany, where he went school for a year.  
I did not know he could speak German.  He said couple phrases in German and it sounded very fluent.  While he was talking about Germany, he mentioned that German curry sausage is so famous internationally, but Eri san and I were like "Nope, never heard about it." 
So, he explained about a sausage with some curry powder, but again, Eri san and I were still not sure, then he ended up placing the picture and recipe of the curry sausage on the SNS page after the show.  
  
Since there was no interpretation between English and Japanese, Togo san and I were relaxing for the whole show; so, that was nice.  It's always nice to have the foreigners in the show, and the show is about them too.  But, when there is no foreigner can make it, there is still something we can do for the show like this time, I learnt.     
   
Thank you very much again and hopefully see you next week!!

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.
