Interpreter: Togo Sasaki, Ito Shunsuke


Thank you very much for the excellent show, members and radio staffs, especially to the only member this time, Ben chan for sharing the interesting story from the Miyako Salmon Half Marathon.

He completed the whole half marathon with his time of 2 hours and 17 minutes while the cut line was 2 hours and 20 minutes.  That's remarkable.
Ben chan also told us that while he was running, he was saying (he thought he was saying) that he was tired in Japanese to the people whomever talked to him, but they looked him weird.
That's because what he was saying was "ISOGASHII" which means "busy" in Japanese.
So, I assumed it was like:
 
Audience:  Hey, Benchan!! How's your running!?
Benchan:  I am freaking "BUSY!!"
 
Well. It might sound like "Can you see me running, dumb it!?" *LOL*
I am just kidding.  It should not be that bad.

Yamaguchi san, the navigator, said that Togo san and I also would need to join the marathon next year.  It was very funny to see Togo san exhausted already just by thinking himself in the marathon after Yamaguchi san mentioned about it.  Me?  No.  I am good at watching them run, not running.
 
So, I was not very positive about myself running the marathon, neither Togo san nor Yamaguchi san.  Even the assistant producer, Yuri san, said that she did not like marathon too much in the ending part of the daily radio programs.  Hashimoto san, the producer, was like:
"You guys are discouraging the people in the Miyako Salmon Half Marathon. *LOL*"
 
Benchan asked us if anybody there know any story of the marathon during the show.
I did not say any story then, but now I remember one story, so I write it here:
 
It's about Ms. Yuko Arimori, who won the silver medal at Barcelona Olympic.
While she was running marathon, the audiences there kept saying her nickname "Animo!  Animo!"
So, she was very encouraged by that and could push herself to the goal, then she won the silver medal. But what "animo" actually meant was like "ganbare (hang in there)" in Spanish.
It was good misunderstanding, she said after the Olympic.
 
And this is the weekly cover picture this time.

 
 

Thank you very much members and staffs!!
I will see you next week!!

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.

The Coffee Vending Machine

   When I was buying a cup of coffee from the vending machine, it made a big sound and shook itself a little.  It sounded like somebody inside hit his/her head somewhere there.  I was so curious but I was not brave enough to peep inside the machine because I had a feeling that if I peep inside, he or she inside would be attacking my eyes.

Miyako Autumn Festival 2016

For Miyako Autumn Festival 2016, Adam and Patricia were practicing taiko drum to participate to the Yamaguchi Taiko Drum demonstration.  When I was watching their demonstration, I could find Patricia, but Adam.  I was looking around for him so hard, but I could not find him at all.  I thought he might be feeling sick and he could not make it.  BUT, later, I found that he was on the other side of the mikoshi shrine.  That was shame that I could not capture his taiko drum playing in the video.   When I was browsing around, I saw one of my classmate from my junior high school. She was about to play one of the games, kan-otoshi, there.   The rule of kan-otoshi game is that you throw a bag full of sands to the cans to knock them down.  Then, you get prize according to how many cans you knock down.  More cans you knock, bigger prize you get.      Classmate:  Hey, what if I make all of them fallen dow...
