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?

[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.
