September 16th, 2015 Miyako International Community Radio via Miyako Harbor Radio 82.6 FM [LIVE]

Navigator: Eri Ito
Guest: Daniel Gilbert
Members: Adam Ramli
Interpreter: Togo Sasaki

Thank you very much for the great show, folks.
And welcome to Miyako, Daniel san who is the friend of Eri san.

I could not meet him because I did not make it to the show, so all interpretation was done by Togo san. He did a great job as always.
But still I wanted to be the part of the show, I emailed them at the show; yet, they did not have enough time to read my message.

What I sent them was asking Eri san to say "Hotta imo ijikuruna" to the members and/or the guest if they can understand. "Hotta imo ijikuruna" means "Don't play with the potatoes you dug up"in Japanese, but it sounds like the English phrase "what time is it now?"
It's like the English phrase "Don't touch my mustache" sounds like the Japanese phrase "Dou itashimashite"which means "you are welcome."
Well, I will try "Hotta imo ijikuruna" some other time.

In the show, Daniel san mentioned trying jellyfish salad, so I want to know how it was too.
Anyway, thank you very much for the fun show, and I will see you next week for sure ;)

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.

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say *LOL*
