Problem between countries ①

Problem between countries ①　2014. 1. 26

America and Japan

This week, I would like to write about problem between America and Japan. America and Japan look like very friendly. American like Japanese culture, such as, Sadou, Kendou, or an idol group like AKB48. Japanese like American culture too. For example music. Japanese like Lady GaGa (a singer who is active in America) very much. In Japan, American modern music is popular now. Japanese ambassador, Ms. Kennedy (daughter of the former president, Mr. Kennedy) likes AKB48 very much. When she met to former Tokyo governor, Mr. Inose, she was perfomance AKB48 dance to him.

It looks like both countries are very friendly, but there are some problem behind both countries.

Problem①～FUTENMA BASE～

Futenma is a place in Okinawa. The sea is very beautiful, and every summer, people from other place come to play. But recently, tourist feel a crisis, because American military base in there. The place call "Futenma Base". Why it was established in Futenma? In 1945, Japan lose at World War 2, and had rule from America. After few years, America take over Okinawa from Japan, and it was American colony in 1947～1972. America made a lot of base on there. In 1972, America returned Okinawa to Japan, but America still have right to rule Japan. So, America still have base on Futenma now. But in 2004, there was accident. American air force's air plane crashed into university in Okinawa. From that time, people in Okinawa have opposite to Futenma base. People hope that this base move to other prefecture or other country. In 2010, the then prime minister, Hatoyama said he will move base to other place, but he can't. The prefectural governor, Nakaima criticized Hatoyama and said, he didn't have power. The next prime minister was Kan. He said I will move base to Henoko. Henoko is in Okinawa too. But there are safer than Futenma. Although, people still have opposite to American air force. In 2013, freedom democracy party won the election, and Abe became to prime minister. Abe talked many time to Nakaima that he will move base to Henoko, and Nakaima approved this Abe's opinion. People in Okinawa opposite to Nakaima, and ask to Nakaima to resign. America praised Abe, but a lot of Japanese people opposite to Abe, Nakaima and America.

　　　　　　                                                                                                                                              

Problem②～Dolphin fishery～

Wakayama is a prefecture that have tradition to catch dolphin. After catch, they always eat it. This traditional was continued from 1000 years ago. But American government said this traditional is inhuman, and ask to Wakayama to stop dolphin fishery. Also Japanese ambassador, Ms. Kennedy said "I think Dolphin fishery is bad traditional, and it doesn't humane. American government have same opinion as me, and we demand to Wakayama to stop this fishery now." For this speech, Wakayama prefectural governor, Nisaka have antagonize. He said "We are living with dolphin and whale from 1000 years ago. And this tradition was done from 1000 years ago. Every year we respect this tradition, and we never stop this fishery." And also he said to America, "We always eat chicken, pig, cow, and fish. So, we need to kill them. But America said don't kill dolphin, and don't eat it. I think this is discrimination to chiken, pig, cow, fish, and to our tradition."  I think Wakayama never stop this tradition.

News Report 2014.1.10

Today, I would like to report about election of the governor of Tokyo.
At end of the year of 2013, former governor Inose resigned. So in May, there are election of the governor.

The person who are going to run for governor are Youiti Masuzoe and Toshio Tamogami, Kenji Utunomiya, and Dr.Nakamatu. This four people are going to fight together.

Mr. Masuzoe was a former minister of Health, Labor and Welfare in Jimin party. But one day, he suddenly left Jimin party. He was nice minister when he was in Jimin party, so I think many people will choose him, but, he has a problem. In 2009, he left Jimin party, and the party decided to expel him. So this election, Jimin party can't support him. Some professor who study about politics said he will be disadvantage position in this election.

Mr. Tamogami was a former air self defense force. He said to reporter, I have a knowledge about defend for the disaster (ex. earthquack). Shintaro Ishihara who is the leader of NihonIshin party said I very expect to Mr. Tamogami.

Mr. Utunomiya is a famous lawyer in Japan. He was former chairman of Japan Lawyer organaization. He has a lot of knoeledge for finance, law. So he said, I want to use my knowledge and make a nice Tokyo. In 2012, he ran for governor, but he didn't　have been choose.

Dr. Nakamatu is an inventor. He has his big company. Sometimes, he appears to variety TV program, and talk about his knowledge, his life's experience. He has a lot of money, also he has a very big house. I think he can use money well, because he has a lot of money.

In 2020, there are Olympic in Tokyo. We very excite for it, but there were matter in the end of year of 2013. Mr. Inose who was former governor of Tokyo did very bad crime. So some people who are in Olympic committee have bad image for Tokyo. So in this election, I hope the person who have sense of responsibility will have been choose.

My plan for December 31th

My plan for December 31th                                                                  2013. 12. 13

December 31th is the last day of the year. My father is going to China in December 29th, so There are just my mother and me at December 31th. Last year, my father went to China in 31th too, so my mother and me made Osechi (Osechi is the food that Japanese always eat in December 31th or January 1st.). But this year, we are not going to make Osechi. Because it is so troublesome to make. So, we are planning to eat dinner at restaurant in 31th. There are many restaurant, so we can't found easily. But finally we found the good restaurant. The restaurant name is "GINGA TETUDOU", and it has a lot of delicious food!! For example, crab, sashimi, sushi, cake etc., and some specially food for the last day of the year!! It is famous restaurant, so I can't wait for that!!

After dinner, we are planning to go to Karaoke. Karaoke is the place that people can sing song. Actually, my mother is good at sing, and she has a nice voice. She said she is going to sing "TOKINONAGARENIMIOMAKASE(時の流れに身を任せ)". This song is very famous, and I love this song! We are practicing songs that we are going to sing.

 

After Karaoke, we are going to watch "KOUHAKU UTAGASEN(紅白歌合戦)". This is a Japanese very famous TV program, and it has a match of the song. Most Japanese see this TV program at 31th. Many famous singer sing the song at this TV program, so it is nice and interesting. When I was watch this TV program, I always eat Soba. Soba is Japanese traditional food, and most Japanese eat it on 31th night (after dinner).
Then, I am going to sleep.



But 31th is not just happy day. In Japan, we need to clean the house. Every year, I was clean, but it was so hard to me. Because there were many dust, and I heat it. We need to clean house at morning, because at night, we are going to restaurant. 31th is very busy day.

 

I want to do and try many things in 2014. For example, I want to leave ESL before September 2014. I have a lot of things to do in 2014!

I hope that I can make nice new year for family, friends, teacher and of course me.
Also I hope everyone have good Christmas and new year!!!
See you next year!!

Christmas concert in CIS

Christmas concert in CIS                                                                               2013.12.6

Yesterday we had a nice Christmas concert in our school. I want to write about the Christmas concert.

In this concert everyone have chance to sing. Some people sang "heal the world", some other people sang "Soran-Bushi (ソーラン節)". My favorite one is "Soran-Bushi". This is Hokkaido traditional sing and people always dance when they sing this song. In winter concert, grade3-grade6 did this. They had a very loud voice, and had a nice dance. I like their performance.


 

Middle school, grade7-grade9 sang "Venid Pastores". This is Spanish song, so it is very difficult to remember the words of a song. At practice time Ms. Bone always angry, because we didn't have nice performance. But gradually our performance was good, because we had a lot of practice. So, yesterday we had a lot of clap from people.

My class 8-1, sang "safe and sound". We did dance too. Some people did bale, and some other people did hip-hop. I did tap dance, but I think it was not nice. Because I had a mistake for the step. Also, I can't produce a tap sound because the music is so noisy. But everyone gave to me (our) clap, so I was happy.

In my class, Nigel, Kai, Tom, Sophie, and Ayan made a band and performance at concert. Nigel, Kai sang a song, Tom played dram, Sophie played guitar, and Ayan played piano. Ayan said piano is first time to him, so he had a lot of practice. Actually, he's piano was good.  Everyone had a nice performance, but specially, Kai's voice was so nice!

I think many people were very happy and had a nice day (also me too), because we can heard nice voice and great performance. I want to practice hard and make a greater Christmas concert in next year.

See you next week!

The country that I want to go

The country that I want to go                                                              2013. 11. 29

This week, I want to introduce about the country that I want to go. I like trip.
It is very nice!!

I like trip very much, because I can know more and change opinion to that country.
For example I went to America in 2011. Before I went to America, I have a opinion that America is dreadful country. Because almost nation in America have gun, and I saw the news, that American people killed many people used gun. I am very scary about that, so I don't really want to go to America. But, actually America was not bad country. I was amazing. Because American people was very kind and positive. My opinion was changed. I love America now, and I want to go again to there.

I really want to go to France. Because there is beautiful. In Japan, we sometime say about France, "芸術の都". It mean city of the art. France had a lot of famous artist.
For example, Picasso. He was born in Spain, but he was act in France. He was studied art in France, and be famous at France. I want to be designer, so I really want to go to France and go to art museum. The famous art museum in France is "Fransu National Paris Picasso art museum". It has a lot of Picasso's art, and many people be impressed by these art. I really want to go there.



Many Japanese entertainer go to Hawaii in the new year and enjoy the vacation. I don't know why, but I want to go to Hawaii too. I saw the picture of Hawaii, and it is all . The sea is beautiful, and the sunset is wonderful. I want to diving in the sea. Hawaiian sea has a lot of fish and coral. It is very nice!

 


Some rich people live in Singapore. Because it is good place. It has beautiful city, and very fun. Singapore is very small, but all place in Singapore is resort. I want to go to
Marina Bay Sands hotel. The height is 200m, and it has 57 floor. It is most popular hotel in the world. It has 2561 guest room, big casino, many restaurant, and also pool.
The pool is in the rooftop, so it advocates that located in world's highest swimming pool 200 m above ground.

Trip is nice. I want to go to other country, and want to know more and more about that country. See you next week!!

My favorite tecnologhy

My favorite tecnologhy                                                                      2013.11.23

Now, many technology is used by many people and be useful.

I like smart phone best. Without smart phone, I think human life will decline. We can know many many information from smart phone. We can listen music to relax. We can enjoy the game. Also we can study at smart phone, because smart phone has study application. Smart phone is very useful for human. But sometime, it has problem too.
Because there have a lot of dangerouse site in smart phone, and if people go to that site, it may cause a case. So we need to be careful to use this technology.

 

My family car is electric car, name is "PURIUS". I think this car technology is nice, because it is kind to earth. It doesn't need gasoline, so it is kind. "PURIUS" use electric when it running. It has a lot of color, and design is cool. I think this car is very nice. But sometime, it has some problem too. When the car that use gasoline running it has engine sound, but electric car has not this sound, so when the people walk, if they don't care, it may cause a case.

 

Google said that they will sell glasses type terminal, and watch type terminal. Glasses type terminal is the terminal that people can get information when they wear glasses. So they don't need more smart phone. Watch type terminal is the terminal that people can mail, call at the watch. Both is nice technology, so many people expect to it.
Of course both have some problem like security, danger etc. So we need to be careful.

 

Technology is nice, and useful to people. But, all technology have still problem. Of course we need to change for better these problem, but I think most important thing is to be careful to use technology.

See you next time!!
