New Minister of Finance, Naoto Kan said 95 JPY is ideal
Today, the new Japanese Minister of Finance, Naoto Kan, placed a press conference for the first time after he started this role. Naoto Kan said that 95JPY to 1 dollar is the right level for Japanese yen. It's not such a surprising word but I'm really amazed by the speed of time of ours.

Yoko Ono to write John and her story over Beatles
I don't hesitate to say that I'm a huge fan of the Beatles. Without them, I can't think of the other life of myself.

MAO ASADA goes to Vancouver
MAO ASADA is the most popular ice skating player in Japan. She came up as a top figure skater when she was only 14 years old, and expected to go to the olympic games.

HIDEKI MATSUI to Anaheim Angeles
Hideki Matsui is today reported that he would join in Anaheim Angeles from next season. I personally think this is a good decision for him. Hideki Matsui has been a top player of Japan, so it was natural that he wanted to join in the top baseball team, Yankees. From my eyes, he is still one of the top players but aparrently his best time [...]
