Arigato

Congratulations, President Trump. And I salute all my dear friends abroad who are trying to protect Japan. Japanese politics and judiciary are no longer collapsing. Serious and honest people continue to be exploited, and the economy is so tight that Japanese people cannot even get married. Taxes are too high on everything. The more you earn, the more you are taxed. On the other hand, there are many people who are not in the workforce and cannot become full-time employees. The number of children's school lunches has been reduced, and the elderly are forced to work part-time. It would be acceptable if the taxes collected were used to enrich our lives, but they are not, and despite record tax revenues, Japanese politicians and the Keidanren are still plotting to raise taxes. The very people who are supposed to be setting up a production system that reflects the nation are doing the exact opposite. And there is no current to stop them, or if there is, it is too weak and is swept away b...

LGBT?

 We live in an age where we can learn a lot about the world online. We should be able to understand that cultures, values, and many other things are different, and even that our concept of normal is only around us. However, I am painfully aware that there are becoming more and more events that apply only to what is convenient for them. These include war, religion, immigration, and discrimination against women under the guise of genderlessness. Even in Japan, there are many things that I find strange. Assumption, The premise is that everyone forgets that even if you are good at something, the other person may not be so good at it. In Japan, the sentences for sex crimes are very light. What we also see is the low level of women's rights. There are countless adult contents in Japan, even in the anime genre. These can be seen in anime characters that have become hits around the world. The sheer number of characters with abnormally emphasized breasts is obvious. When you are exposed to ...

Why

 Where Japan is heading is very frightening! Japan's constitution states that the people run the country. For this reason, power has been decentralised and various decisions have been made under the name of separation of powers. What about nowadays? Every day, people who do not do what is their duty to the people are evading their responsibility, making no apologies and deciding national policy on their own. On New Year's Day this year, an event occurred that instantly wiped out the festive atmosphere. The earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture. The situation is still devastating and reconstruction has not yet taken place at all. There is not enough food and water supply. It has been six months since the houses collapsed. And yet, the quiet people of the country are finally beginning to look askance at a country that only gives aid money abroad. I think we have paid the price for believing that politicians were there to improve the country. Politicians are hereditary, and their powe...

もうすぐ皐月(may)

In a recent message I received. 'I got an email saying that your blog is interesting, I'm inspired to write it. Thanks for your support! Recently I've been working part-time in a bar two days a week and doing food delivery at a leisurely pace for three months now, since I quit my job in January this year. There, I realised once again how tied up I was with so many different things. In Japan, we are a people who are very sensitive to what people around us think, and if you deviate from that, you are often treated with great disdain. I get the feeling that they don't want to nurture individual independence. Therefore, parents blame you for deviating from the 'ideal rail' that was instilled in you from childhood, and you keep blaming yourself, and the more serious you are, the sicker you become. I myself went to counselling and I think that if going to counselling makes you better, you should go to a lot of counselling. However, I think we should not forget one asp...

Coming spring

  Spring. Sad things and battles are always taking place, but the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. In Japan, the earthquake happened on New Year's Day and reconstruction has not progressed at all. Taiwan also had an earthquake the other day, but things are shared at a very fast pace, privacy is taken care of, and the food is very good, which makes me realise how poor and backward my country has become. However, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to meet friends from other countries and we can talk about each other's countries. It is only there that I get to know Japan from the other side of the river and realise many things. It is impossible to say that we can understand each other because we are from the same country. Even if you are from a different country, I think it is possible to understand each other if you listen carefully and do not lack respect for the other person. I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. The world is a big place and there is a limit to what...

Power harassment

 Power harassment and sexual harassment are rampant in many places in Japan due to very low gender awareness. I myself am currently experiencing power harassment. It is harassment.  One month ago, I was suddenly told that your job was gone and that I had to do another job. I thought that if it was not there, I had no choice but to work at the new job. But the truth was different. They assumed that I was not doing my job properly. They assumed that without interviewing me or even listening to me, and assigned me heavy workloads. There is a tremendous amount of peer pressure in Japan. What do you think is the result of this? Corruption like that of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) politicians of today. They do not allow people to voice their opinions about what is wrong, but simply treat them like slaves. If they don't like it, they should quit, and there are other people who can replace them. Fear like this causes people to lose their voices more and more, to be deprived of proper...

Abot Man and Woman

 The hot, hot summer has passed, and now the wind feels cold. Winter is almost here and this year is about to end. I am sorry I have not been able to post since summer. I have been thinking about various things as the days passed by in an indifferent manner. I was born in Japan, and Japanese culture and people's thoughts are what I consider "normal," and I sometimes get tired of them or feel aversion to them. However, in this age of instantaneous information from around the world, I feel that I must be grateful to have been born in Japan or else I would be a fool. Every country has good people and bad people. Whether male or female, whatever religion they believe in, whether they are old or young, it is a common thread. Does it depend on one's upbringing? I don't think so. Some people earn a lot of money, sleep in a warm bed, and eat delicious food, but they exploit others with impunity. There are also people who can barely live for a day, who are punished daily b...
