Thank you very much for the great show as always, radio staffs and members!!

Yes, I agree to these British gentlemen said Miyako is very American by celebrating the American holidays and festivals, such as July 4th, the independence day of US, and Thanksgiving.

So, I think Miyako should start celebrating the UK holidays as well, such as:

[March] March 17th: St Patrick's Day (in North Ireland)

[April] Good Friday, (Saturday,) Easter Sunday, Easter Monday

[May] Early May Bank Holiday, Spring bank holiday

[June] Orangeman's Day (in North Ireland)

[August] Summer Bank Holiday (England, Wells, Scotland)

[November] St Andrew's Day (in Scotland)

[December] Boxing Day

Whatever the crazy ones like Halloween is fun to copy, like Halloween.

I would say St. Patrick's Day is the good one.

That's the day you have to wear something green.

..I would be a nutcase if I do this in Miyako just by myself.

But if radio members and staffs do this together, it will be less madness, so let's do it, staffs and members, for next year!!

Anyway. Thank you very much for the nice British show for Americanized Miyako ;)

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?

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*

[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.
