Sushi Chef, Jiro, becomes a documentary film by American Director, David Gelb

Sushi Chef, Jiro, becomes a documentary film by American Director, David Gelb

    Some months ago, a new unique film reached my attention. That was a film making story about a famous Japanese Sushi Chef, called JIRO. He runs a small sushi restaurant in Ginza, Tokyo, the name of it is Sukiyabashi Jiro.  But the Sushi restaurant is always full of sushi lovers who made reservations for dinner some [...]

What’s going on in the USA

Recent news always reports about Occupy Wall Street Demo.  I understand how people in the USA think of today's their life.  They all enjoyed long time economic boom time before the financial crisis happens.  At the time, American news often said they are NO.1 and America behaved as they feel like as if they were only selected power of the [...]

Stand Up for National Anthem

Recently it's natural for all us Japanese including me to grumble about what the Japanese politicians do beyond the TV tube.  What they do is just a cheap soap opera.  If I write about it, it would take long and it's such a waste of time.  I decided to ignore them for a while until next crazy chapter starts. Today, Supreme court of Japan [...]

Naoto Kan, Move out !!

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 declined today

Vote of Non-Confidence against Cabinet declined today

Yesterday I wrote about the submitting act of Non-Confidence to Cabinet.  Today it was declined by the negative votes of 293 to 152 positive. For the victims of disaster of Japan, this may be a good result because there would not be blank time of politics by arising new election. What I felt over this recent stupid movement in the Diet was [...]

Vote of Non-Confidence against Cabinet ! That’s it to Naoto Kan ?

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

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 [...]

Prime Minister, Naoto Kan decided to stop Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant

Prime Minister, Naoto Kan decided to stop Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant

I'm tired today but I need to write today because Prime Minister Naoto Kan made such a fine decision about the nuclear power plant policy of Japan. Today, I think we Japanese should be pleased with a good news or a fine decision of Naoto Kan, the Japanese Prime Minister. He expressed that he asked ( or ordered ) the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant [...]

Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant must be stopped

Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant must be stopped

By the accident of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant,  sudden awakening on how the nuclear power is dangerous is happening among a lot of people in Japan. Fukushima's is still on the process of recovery, and it's true that radiation is spread into air or ocean still even if it's small amount compared to its time of breaking out. For dwellers [...]

Japan’s Past and Future

Japan’s Past and Future

I enjoyed the boom time of Japan in the late 1980s, which was called bubble economy.  I remember Japanese enterprises purchased some loadmark buildings in the USA and there were many M&A companies, in many cases, Japanese companies bougtht  foreign firms with strong Japan money then.   Since then, people often dreamt the 2nd [...]
