Esophageal Cancer attacked 2 music icons of Japan
Esophageal cancer is not an unusual disease in the recent times of Japan. We often hear an strange name of a disease called Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease on TVor at hospitals in Japan, however, it had been a strange illness for some recent years. By the upsurge of oily Western food consumption in Japan, this strange disease has been on [...]
Antonio Inoki joins Hall of Fame
There is a very very popular professional wrestler called Antonio Inoki in Japan. Some wrestling fans may know this name because he is known to the world as a man who had a match with Muhammad Ali ( see photo). That was an irregular match between wrestling and boxing. The result was DRAW, so many got disappointed with it at the end. But apart [...]
PropagandaBuster, Texas Daddy Tony will be published in Japan
There is a popular YOUTUBE site called PropagandaBuster. This site is run by a Gentleman called Tony and he is getting a little popular in Japan now, it' s maybe because he often talks about problems concerned with Japan and it often goes for Japan. The speech he makes is really interesting in the sense that we can know how one of the [...]
CHIUNE SUGIHARA still tells us something
This is not a public news but just a thought of mine. Today I saw a video of CHIUNE SUGIHARA, who save lots of Jewish people in the war time. The video in the bottom is a digest of the long story. It's a beautiful story but we Japanese don't know. Recently this story was on air a few times, so some may know, but not much of us know [...]
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.

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 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 [...]
