Thank you very much for the great show as always, the radio members and staffs!!
The Halloween is the end of the month, so they and I talk about it as the topic this time.
It's one of the biggest evens of the year both in England where Adam san is from and in US where Ben chan is from.

Ben chan had dressed the costume of Luck Skywaler from the movie Star Wars.
I am wonder if the people who wore the Darth Vader costumes said him "Come, my son."
Or he ran to the people with Darth Vader saying "Daaaaaaaaaaaaad!!" Well.

When they talked about the candies the kids can get for the Halloween, Adam san mentioned the "Kit Kat Big Kat." I thought I had seen it in Japan, but neither Togo san nor Hisako san know about it. It was kinda weird. Or I was weird. Don't they have it in Japan?

When they and I got the silent moment during the radio show (oops,) I mentioned the proverb "there was an angel passed," but neither Adam san nor Ben chan knew about it...

It was kinda weird. Or I was weird. I looked it on the internet, and I found it.

I guess it's not that popular.

[Why do we tend to say " there's an angel passing in the room" when a sudden onset of silence occurs?]

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.
