Japanese Minister of Finance, Fujii, resigned today
Minister of Finance, Hirohisa Fujii, submitted his paper of resignation to Prime Minister, Hatoyama, today and it was accepted. I think he is one of the most capable person in this cabinet, but he will go. It's a sad news but there seems to be many hidden reasons about his decision. Japanese leading party, Democratic Party, is a totally [...]
Namie Amuro found in Sedona with Atsushi
Namie Amuro is still a top female singer in Japan since she appeared in Japanese show biz more than 10 years ago. Many of the idol singers disappear after the big time with some hit records, but amazingly she is still ranked on the top group of the idol singers. Namie Amuro once married a Japanese hiphop dancer but divorced after some [...]
ODEN in the Winter time of Japan
Oden is a very popular food in Japan. There are some good Oden restaurants in large cities, but also it's popular as house cooking food in Japan. Cooking Oden is not that hard. Most of the stuff are sold at super markets. We can add our favourite stuff by our choice, for example, some like boiled eggs, Daikon, Octpus, Squid, but most standard [...]
Vancouver Olympic Games and Japan
Who among Japanese players would get medals in Vancouver Olympic ? This is a hard question because we can't expect much this time. Usually we expect Ski Jump, Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Short Truck Skating, and Mogle Skiing. Some players are really expected, for example, Moa Asada for figure skating, Ayako Uemura for mogle skiing, and [...]
What’s AKB 48 ?
I've been away from Japan for a long time, so I don't know much about Japanese new TV characters. What I saw on a TV show of Japan after I came back was really incredible. AKB48 seems to be a singer group with 48 teenager girl members. All of them are not like professional singers, but they are just average high school girls of Japan. [...]

Susan Boyle and Paul Potts on Japanese TV shows
Susan Boyle appeared on a famous Japanese TV show on the 31st of December, 2009. This program is called Red and White singing competition, which records very high rating each year in Japan. Almost all of the Japanese famous singers join in this program and they are proud of the participants of this show. It's certain that this show lost [...]
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. At that time, she was not entitled to join in the games because of her age being too young. If she had played then in the olympic games, I think she could get a gold [...]
New Year Started with heavy snow in Japan
It's said that the world is facing global warming. However, this year started with heavy snow in my hometown and in the northern parts of Japan. When we were kids, every year we had heavy snow and we could enjoy skiing and skating. Recent years, the amount of snow in winter of Japan decreased apparently, compared to the time of our [...]
