After the financial crisis in the world, many car makers dropped its sales scale. Japanese car companies also faced serious recession inside Japan and in the world.

Honda already announced the withdrawal from F1 race because of the fiscal problem, today also Toyota expressed termination of F1 participant. It means all the Japanese car makers determined to withdraw from F1 race.

This news is a little symbolic for today’s Japanese situation.  Some other countries like  China, Australia, or Korea are reported the recovery from the bottom of economy, but Japan is still wandering in the bottom ground of the world economy. 

It’s certain that Japan is still in struggling situation. However, thinking of Japan over the 20 years after the high booming time of late 1980′s, I don’t remember Japan’s clear recovery from the serious downturn, or end of bubble economy.  Japan has always been said “still bad”.  Now it’s worse, but as for me, I’m already accustomed to the terrible situation. 

If it went worse, I might not worry a lot. Again, I’m accustomed to the worst in mind. Rather than thinking of the worst, I sometimes expect the world to be back too primitive society.  If we could live in a non- technology society, we may find the other value for our life.

It’s really hard whenI think of my life based on the present society’s judgement. If I abandon all of my possession, and if we live in agriculture for everyday food, we wouldn’t have to live for the money any more.

I don’t belive in money much.

Toyota’s news is not good for Japanese people.  I don’t care of it.  Result is already decided. People, or we, should follow the decided result just like a river flows. That’s best for us.

Toyota doesn’t have to come back to F1. Now you are not requested by the times.
