There was sad news in last week. More than 300 Anne Frank's diary were found vandalized in public library in Tokyo Suginami. Police said it is not clear who did like this very bad thing. After this incident, Israel's embassy in Japan has donated Anne Frank's diary to library.

By the way, do you know who is Anne Frank? Anne Frank was normal junior high school student same as us. But she dead in 15 years in detention house that Nazi was managed in in 1945. She was Jew, and Nazi very hated Jew. The chief of Nazi was Hitler, and he hated Jew than anyone. He started to catch Nazi and kill them. Anne and her family worried and they decided to escape to Netherlands. In Netherlands, authority of Nazi was week than Germany, but they were not able to be careless. Because there were few solider in Netherlands too. If solider found Jew, they had been killed or went to detention house in Germany.
So they can't go out, even daytime. So, Anne can't go to school, and she need to stay home every day.
She liked to write essay. So her father gave her diary, and she wrote to it everyday. Because diary is just a one thing that Anne had interest. One day, finally, solider found them, and they went back to Germany. Anne dead in 1945, and her family too(except her father). After war, Germany liberated Jew and her father read Anne's diary. He cried after he read, because the diary was impressed him. He decided to public this diary, and it became famous.



So, many people feel upset through this incident. Anne's diary tell about cruelty of war.
Many people really don't understand criminal who tears Anne's diary.

I hope through this incident, people also learned about horrid facts of history. Maybe this time, criminal hate our thinking and hate Anne, but even criminal hate Anne, he can't vandalize diary, because it is our important property.

OLYMPIC INFORMATION                                                                        2014. 2. 28

Sochi Olympic was end in last week. Of course I watched it in my home, and I enjoined every sport. In Japan, we noticed on figure skating. There is genius skating player name is Mao Asada, and we were paying attention to her performance. She has a good rival, Kim Yona. She is korean and got gold award in Vancouver Olympic. Asada got silver award, so she said she will win to Kim Yona, but her dream didn't come true.

 

 

It was sunny day. Asada was very nervous for playing her last game. Last game?? Yeah, before Sochi Olympic, she said she will retire after Olympic. So this is last big game for her. And same as Kim Yona. She said she will retire too. They were nervous although they had big confidence. Everyday, media report their hard working, and Japanese hope let Asada get gold medal. Before short program, every skater have 6 minutes to practice and final check for their skill. Asada do totally perfect jump at practice time, but at she unsuccessful all jump during perfomance. She was 16 place. Say what?! She can't even take less than 10 place. Ohh my god. Everyone despaired to her. I was supported her. I knew she can do her best in free proglam. Free proglam was totally her last big perfomance. Can she do her best?

 

 

142. That was her score at free proglam. This score is her best free proglam score. She didn't ever got that much mark. She successed all jump, even it is very difficult jump. She didn't give up. She is positive. After her perfomance, she was crying. It was not because she felt regret. She shed tear of joy and happiness!! Japanese had a brave and power from her skating and her tear.

 

Total place of Asada was 6, and Kim Yona was 2. She can't won to Kim Yona, and even can't got a medal. But she said " Through this play, I found a more important thing than gold medal. It was my perfect skating. I was searched all over my skating life, but I can't achieve my perfect skating although I can found it this time. " Her brave saying will be handed down ever.

 

Brave people always don't give up. Never give up. Asada is totally brave and perfect perfomer and skating player.

Mao Asada and Yona Kim

Mao Asada and Yona Kim                                                                   2014. 2. 8

Yesterday (7.2.2014), Winter Olympic was starting in Sochi in Russia. Of course Japan participate to this Olympic. Japanese watch carefully for Mao Asada who is famous skating player in Japan. She started skate when she was small age. In 2006, when she was 16 years old, she participated World Skating Junior Cup and won. She became famous from that time, and she won at many cup. In 2010, there were Olympic in Vancouver and she got silver medal. After that Olympic, gradually she became weaker for skill of skating. These 4 years (2010-2014), she did hard practice. Last year December, she said she will retire of skating player after Sochi Olympic. So, this Olympic is last play for Mao Asada. She said "I promise to everyone that I will get gold medal!!"

Now, she is most strong player in Japan. But at Olympic, she has a lot of rivals. One of these is Yona Kim who is skating player in Korea. She is very strong in the world, and she got gold medal at Vancouver Olympic. She retire skating player after Sochi Olympic, so Asada and Kim can't lose gold medal at this Olympic.

I think Asada and Kim are good rival, because they have a lot of similar point. First, they have old sister. Their sister is skating player too, but not famous. Second, they have a lot of difficult, hard training when they were small age. Kim said she wanted to suicide, because training was so hard. Third, they gradually became weaker their skill after Vancouver Olympic. They did training hard this 4 years. Fourth, they will retire after Sochi Olympic. So this is last play to them. And they can't lose. I think this Olympic is most hard and difficult game for them, because they both have same feeling and same pressure.

Like it or not, this is last game for them, so I wish they will do best and try hard.

Despair speech by the new chairman of NHK                                                 2014. 1. 31

NHK is a government management television station in Japan. It tells to an audience about news, sport, culture, and world happening. Former chairman of NHK resigned, because he finished his term of office. So recently, new chairman, Mr. Momii was chosen. Japan have a lot of problem at TV station, so, many people hoped that he will be good chairman. Because he was a vice-president of big company, and he had a lot of nice experience. Although, at a press conference, he said a despair speech. He said,
"When the World War, there were comfort woman in every countries that joined to war. And I think it is strange that Korea ask to Japan to apologize about comfort woman."Also, he said "NHK is Japanese government management television station, so, we should say Takeshima (land problem with Korea), and Senkaku (land problem with China) is our land in news." Many people despair to his speech.

　　　　　　　　　　　　                           ↑Mr. Momii

By the way, what is comfort woman? Comfort woman's mean is that the woman had cruel treatment by the other country's soldiers. At World WarⅠ, Japan made Korea to their territory, and Japanese soldiers did cruel treatment to Korea woman. So, after world war, Korea asked to Japan to apologize for this problem, but Japan didn't.

↑Comfort woman

 

At Mr. Momii's speech, he said about Japan shouldn't apologize to Korea, so many people despair to him, and criticized him. NHK is Japan government management, so they should support Japan, but NHK is a TV station, and many people (it means not just Japanese) watch it, so his speech was not right.

I think he is so mean, because he doesn't think Korean or Chinese saw this press conference. If they saw this conference, they will shock and be unpleasant. TV program should never hurt an audience, so his speech was wrong.

  

Japan prime minister, Abe think his speech was wrong, so in 31th January 2014, Mr. Momii went to the Diet and was asked many question by Abe and other statesman.
Mr. Momii always said, "I can't express well at conference, because I was nervous. Sorry for invited your misunderstanding." I just can hear his poor excuse.

At last, I want to say my opinion about TV station. Recently, we can see improper contents at many TV programs. One of the example of these TV program is drama. There are drama in Japan name "明日ママがいない　(Tomorrow I don't have my mother)", and this drama tell about the children in the child care home that don't have parents. People don't have antipathy to this theme, but they have antipathy for contains.
In this drama, children were called bad name by home leader. So child care home talked to Japan TV station to stop this drama, but they didn't, and didn't change contains. So, I want to say, many TV programs ignore an audience's feeling and it is very bad thing. I hope it will be good in future. And I can't forgive Mr. Momii's speech.
