Thank you very much for the excellent show, members and staffs!!
It was very fun to listen the show.
　
I don't know if Yamaguchi san noticed that it was me who sent the email to the show asking what phrase to write on the birthday card after "Happy Birthday."

I used the handle name "艶・クノイトー (Tsuya Kunoito)" on the email while I am the interpreter of Ito "通訳の伊藤　(Tsuuyaku no Ito.)" "Tsuya-Kunoito" vs "Tsuuyaku-no-Ito."
I thought Yamaguchi san would find it out when she read the name, but she did not sound like she noticed. Well.

Adam san and Yonae san had the fun discussion of what's romantic or not, and also about "xoxo" which means "kisses and hugs" in the end of the message.
When I come to think of "xoxo," it can convert into encryption code, like Morse Code.

Morse Code contains "." and "-"
So, if I convert my name "Ito Shunsuke" to Morse Code, it is:

.. - --- ... .... ..- -. ... ..- -.- .

(Done by Morse Code Translater: http://mattfedder.com/cgi-bin/morse.pl)
And I can replace "." and "-" to "o" and "x" then, it will be like

oox xxx ooo oooo oo x xo ooo oo x x o x o

(Done by simply copy-paste the Morse Code on the notepad, then used the "replace" function to convert.)

I also could make it shorter by "compressing" it.
　
Anyway, it was very interesting show.
Thank you folks and 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.

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*

Ito Shunsuke
