お久しぶりです！

 Long time no see!

The year is half over, how are you all doing?


We have sumo next month and I am excited because I got tickets!


In every country, something degrading happens where a few people abuse the weaker ones. 


When I was in junior high school, I used to be addicted to foreign novels for teenagers.

One of the books I read there was called "The Hangman Game," and I was shocked.



Japanese people are said to be introverted from the point of view of people overseas, and among them, it is very easy to be made fun of if you are very quiet and unable to communicate with others.

I thought this was even more pronounced in other countries.



I myself have clear intentions and am good at putting them into words and communicating them to others, so I can defeat most ill will by myself. 


However, I have seen many people who are not good at those things make false accusations and blame others for things that are not their fault. 


Then, they cannot overlook it and often go to take on the fight.

In Japan, this is called "helping the weak and frustrating the strong. 


Such good-looking people are not around these days.

People are so occupied with themselves that they don't even apologize when they get on the train in the morning, even if they push people away and hit them. 


I wonder where the Japanese aesthetic has gone...it's sad. 


However, kabuki has what is known as "good versus evil," and there are many stories that follow the principles of helping the weak and frustrating the strong, as I mentioned earlier.



Naritaya's "暫,"(shibaraku


) for example, in which Ichikawa Danjuro was chosen to assume the title of feudal lord, is a prime example of this. 


When the bad guy is punished, the hero comes out, defeats him brilliantly, and ends the play with a bang.



I would like everyone to experience a pleasant stage performance without thinking.

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 ...

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...

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...
