Interpreter: Togo Sasaki, Ito Shunsuke


Thank you, the radio staffs and members, for the great time.
It was fun live show as always.

It is typhoons season right now in Japan, and typhoons are actually hitting Japan here and there.
So, we talked about the typhoons as one of the topic;
Eri san asked members if they call "typhoon" in another name in their countries, and Toby san answered "It could be tropical storm..?"
Then Eri san said "That sounds delicious!"

For the moment, this picture came into my mind.



(1) Eri san's definition of Tropical storm = delicious -> tropical fruits  -> fruits bonus -> Pac Man 
(2) Eri san's definition of  Tropical storm = typhoon, weather -> something in the sky 
  
(1) + (2) = Pac Man in the sky

But if I say "ah, that Pac man in the sky, right?"  
I knew I would see their faces saying "what the heck this Japanese guy has started talking about?" 
So, I did not say anything about the Eri san's thought that I assumed.  

But what she thought of the term "tropical storm" was some sort of drinks or smoothies, not the "Pac man in the sky."
Then, I think Francis san got her idea of the tropical storm and said "oh, the mangoes, pineapples, passion fruits falling from the sky, right?  If they are the tropical storm, then I can go home safe."
But I thought "Man!  It's "falling!" Not dropping from the table or anything cute like that!"



Well, members.  
I write very sarcastic; I mean I am making fun of everything, so I hope you are not taking serious or feel like being offended.    

I will see you folks at next show!!  Thank you very much again!!

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*
