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.

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.
