Japan with Hidden Cross – Ken Joseph (Jr.)
This book was very interesting for me. I've already read some books about history of Japanese religions and immigrants from other parts of the world. The Author, Ken Joseph and Ken Joseph Jr. explained how our history education has had a lot of lack in teaching religion of Japan, and the people of Japan. We Japanese learn that Buddhism [...]
Takeshi Kitano Biography
Takeshi Kitano's Biography is going to be published in France. Well, I sometimes talked about him here. So somewhat I think it's already enough about him here. Recently I saw his TV show, and I thought he really got old. When he was a comedy boy rather than a movie director, his talks on stage was like the thunder storm. That was really [...]
Power of Japanese politics, Ichiro Ozawa
Recent Japanese media always report about Ichiro Ozawa's scandal. But one thing we all think strange is that all the media are saying the same thing, not telling about opinions from some other angles. This is totally dangerous becuase all the nation might think the same by the same opinions from media. Many critics also point it out but [...]
RIMI NATUSKAWA now pregnant
We've not recently heard of RIMI NATSUKAWA's news. But today she was reported that she is now pregnant and would be having her first baby in August. I, personally, am not a fan of her, but her voice seems to tell a lot to people. So she has many fans in Japan still. Probably she will be singing again after she gets her first baby safely.
Hideki Irabu, an ex-major leaguer, retired playing
Hideki Matsui recently moved his team from NY Yankees to Anaheim Angels. The same first name player, Hideki Irabu was also a member of NY Yankees from Japan. Hideki Irabu is not remembered well because he often commented badly about others and his attitude in the baseball field was not always good as an honorable major league player. [...]
Christel Takigawa steadying with Yukiyoshi Ozawa ?
Christel Takigawa used to be an announcer of Fuji TV of Japan. Her program used to be aired late night every day, and her charming smile and pretty face to the viewers attracted a lot of workers who relax at home after the long time business during the daytime. Christel Takigawa has Japanese mother and French father, so the exotic looks also [...]
Tadashi Yanai, the president of UNIQLO as NO.1 man of property
Again, an amazing new came out today. Forbes reported today that Tadashi Yanai, President of Uniqlo, is this year's NO.1 man of property in Japan. He was also last year's NO.1 so this is the second time. UNIQLO is certainly a growing company of Japan, but it's such a simple casual wear company. But the president of the simple company is [...]
Beauty Queen of City Council ? Yuri Fujikawa
Recenty I found an funny article among news. There is a middle size city, Hachinohe, in the northern part of Japan. Its population is about 300,000. There is nothing particular to tell about this city and not such an interesting travel spot either. But recently this city is a little closed up by media because of a menber of city [...]

Seijin no hi, or New Adults' Day is the day when we celebrate the new adult people in the year. People who become 20 years old in the year are celebrated for the growth and future happiness in Japan. The day was set on 15th of January some years ago, but nowadays, it's on the 2nd Monday in January each year, and it's a national holiday of [...]
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. It it weren't for the Beatles, my life would have been totally different from what I'm now. My life was always with the Beatles, when I had a dream, I used to think how could I be like them. When I had a trouble, I used to [...]
