"Where's Hashimoto san? There he is. Hashimoto san, get in the picture, please."

"There comes James!! Get in the picture, James!!"

So, that's how these three pictures came out.

They had 4 members this time and it made the show even more fun than the regular show ;)

In the show, Ben chan said that he has been writing the 200 pages novel about Halloween, which sounds very interesting to me because I love writing things too, but I have never tried writing 200 pages. So, I am interested in how he organize the story in the novel. I am looking forward to read it when he done writing it.

James san mentioned that he, Toby san and Hashimoto san went shooting pool with other English teachers. Because they were from different countries, so it became like "International Billiard Tournament." According to them, the team Hong Kong was very strong and actually won the 1st place. Next time, you've got to get the UK pride back from them, Toby san and James san.

Francis san said that he did not want to catch the cold for this winter season.

I remember that it was very terrible that Francis san, Tim san and I caught the cold all together in the last year.

And those 3, Francis san, Tim san and I, were sort of the main members for the radio show. So, I had to ask the substitutions for the radio show because it's contagious.

Members, you take the flu shot before you became really miserable.

I will announce about it in SNS later.

Talking about SNS, this is the weekly cover picture for this time.

Thank you very much, members and radio staffs. It was fun!!

I will 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.
