Joe Hisaishi Paris Concert
Joe Hisaishi gave a concert in Paris in June this year, 2011. I didn't check if the concert was good or not. Recently I found many videos on YOuTube, and it seems to have been an extremely nice one. Looking at the video, easily we notice that many are enjoying it with much emotional move. Thinking of myself back in 1980's when [...]

Zico will have a Japanese grandson ?
An interesting news arrived today. I don't know well about football, but being such a poor fan, even I know Zico as one of the top football players in the history. Zico said he would have a Japanese grandson soon. This is a little exaggerated expression though, what he meant is not far from the truth. His son got married a girl of Japanese [...]
Naoto Kan, Move out !!
It's been a long time since I really got mad at a person. Today, Naoto Kan answered at the Diet not to resign soon. Yesterday, he appeared on TV saying he would soon resign after setting plans for disaster victim rescue. He said it with sad looking face like a sincere politician facing at its ending. The reason for his comment was that he [...]
Vote of Non-Confidence against Cabinet ! That’s it to Naoto Kan ?
I really can't believe what the politicians of Japan think nowadays. Today my concern again hit my head and it gave me a dull mood over myself. First of all, there are so many people suffering from homeless situation in the disaster area. Many lost money, asset, and families or friends. They can't do nothing but just live day by day with a [...]
Naoto Kan and Yukio Hatoyama
Yesterday I praised Naoto Kan for his job of Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant. I don't mean to take the appreciation to him back, but actually his administration on recent Japanese politics can't be easily praised. His political destination is still vague and we really don't know what he wants to do with Japan. Today, a news said that Yukio [...]

Miki Ando is again back as world champion of figure skating competition at ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2011. Miki Ando used to be a little nervous and naive type sport woman, but as far as recent her attitude is concerned, she probably has overcome her weakness inside herself. Her words at interviews are filled with something [...]

Time magazine of the USA selected Katsunobu Sakurai, mayor of Minami Soma City or South Soma City in Fukushima Prefecture of Japan, as one of TIME's 100 most influential people in the world.

Ex-Candies Yoshiko Tanaka died yesterday
A very sad news reached me just when I was about to go to bed yesterday. Yoshiko Tanaka, who was a member of Candies, died of breast cancer yesterday. Although I was not such a fan of Candies back in 1970's when they were enjoying the popularity boom in Japan, the 3 members of Candies created huge sensation then in Japan and they were [...]
