US Apologize for Hiroshima?


Have you ever heard about bombing at Hiroshima? It was long times ago, but the pain has remained in Japanese's mind that took the people that they love away. Some people on the day US bombed Japan could survive, and now they arranged a ceremony to remind them.


According to the news, Japan have arranged a ceremony for Japanese victims who died on the day US bombed Hiroshima for many years. This is a good news and the first time ever for Japanese government and people that US government sent a group of representative to participate in this grieve ceremony. However, Japanese was asking another request to the US government about the apology, US government has still insisted not to say sorry. At the same time, Japan has not apologized to the US government that ambushed at the Pearl Harbor.


In my opinion, the affair which happened during the World War 2 was sorrowful. The war gave a lot of bad things. For example, there were many people died and suffered the pain in physical and mental, and the country was also destroyed. The fight made two countries misunderstanding and has impacted to the present time. As you can see, the war did not bring anything good to us, so we should give love and understanding to each other as much as possible.

The Wrong Decision

What citizens are going to live without having prime minister for a while? Will they be impacted from the government's mistake?

According to the news, the prime minister Yukio Hatoyama resigned from being prime minister for eight months after making the wrong determination about an agreement between Japan and US. He made a decision not to move the U.S. Marine air base out from the Okinawa island, but moved to other part in the island instead because he was honest to the words that gave to the US's government. He finally was in trouble, so he quited. The problem after Hatoyama left was to find a new prime minister, and a new PM who have been expected from Japanese people is Naoto Kan. In addition, if the next PM was elected, it would be five prime ministers in four years.

In my opinion, it is not good to no have a strong leader. It seems like a country is weak, and the enermies can get into and ruin anytime and everywhere. The best solution is to search prime minister as soon as possible before the country gets worse. However, it was a great responsibility that Hatoyama decided to quit because he made an unpleasant and wrong decision for his Japanese people.

Sony is Helping Old People


Do you know the most of people who have been written on the guinness world record having the highest age in the world is Japanese people? Do you know why? It is because Japanese people drink green tea as usual, so it enables them to have a long life.

According to the news, Sony corperation have been worried to the number of elders that is increasing in nowadays. Therefore Sony has planned to produce a product that senior citizens can carry with them all the time. Its duty is to follow and show where he or she goes when the users scan with the readers installed at hospitals, homes or any shops. This product will officially recommend in the next month, and it requires various card readers who want to invest with by paying 100,000 yen each first and then 3,000 yen for month. This scheme involves with a government that the government has concerned about some elderly lose or dead without any information.

In my opinion, this product is very good and necessary for every old person because some of them do not have anyone to take care of, so sometimes they go out without telling anybody. It would be dangerous to them. If they have this invention with them, it will be safer. I think the strategy of generating this goods will increase the number of people using Sony because this product seems to really concern to senior citizens. It will impact to the consumers that incline to change their mind buying Sony more than any other brands.

Fujitsu Fujitsu!


Have you heard the name of Fujitsu before? Do you know that it is one of the brands which is popular in Japan? If you not, I suggest you to search a news of this brand right now because it is coming popular.


According to the news, Fujitsu is the well-known Japanese brand of technology. It provides chips which are completely used in cell phones, computers and cars. On the present day, Fujitsu has confronted with the problems that it hardly distributes its products to every costomer, and it seldom makes a profit from selling things. Therefore, Fujitsu has operated a scheme to produce technologies that it has never had and contact with other popular and remoted companies to have a business with. As the result, this company have planned to make an agreement with Taiwan, ans it expects to earn overall from selling products 1.5 trillion yen within 2016.


As you can see in Thailand, Fujitsu is not well known as Sony, Toshiba, or any other famous Japanese brands in Thailand. In my opinion it is because Fujitsu does not manage its strategy or advertise its brand to Thailand well. For example I have not known Fujitsu before until the day I went to buy a notebook. One of notebook brands which were placed on the shelf is Fujitsu, so I asked my brother what brand it was, and he told me that it was from Japan. In addition, I have not seen an advertisement of Fujitsu on television or any newspaper before. I think it would be better for Fujitsu that have some influences to Thailand because the company will gain a lot of income from Thai people.

Cherry Blossoms are in Trouble!

If I mention about Japan, what will you think about first? I guess one of the answers would be watching beautiful local flowers like the Sakura or another names which is more formal is Cherry Blossoms.

According to the news, in each year, there is an annual festival for the Japan's cherry blossom. It has been arranged for many centuries on every the second week of March, and Japanese people always come to this celebration to enjoy each others with their family, friends, colleagues, etc. However, as a result of climate changed, a ceremony has been scheduled earlier for last 5 years. The increase of temperature, which is one of the causes, makes Cherry Blossoms out before the time. For instance, last year in 2009, the Cherry Blossoms bloom 5 days ahead of time. This occurrence really impacts to Japanese people because the date of the day that Cherry Blossoms's annual festival occur has been specified for at least 600 years, but it has to reschedule because of the hotter world.

In my opinion, the main course which makes the climate change is the human being. Nowadays, people use things without thinking. For instance, when people stay in the house, they usually open every electric equipment that they have if sometimes it is not necessary. They do not realize that it would waste a lot of money for paying electric bills and particularly damage the world by raising the heat. This habit should be resolved as soon as possible before the world cannot handle the heat because if the humans keep ruining the global by doing the wrong things, the disaster probably appear soon. As you can see from the Cherry blossoms from the last consecutive 5 years, which have had an unpredicted story, I think it is one of the sign warning people to start saving the world now.

Will Fuji Erupt?

What will we be going to do if the volcano eruption? Actually, Thailand does not have any volcanoes, but if the volcano in other countries around Thailand erupts, it will impact to our country for sure!

According to the Japanese scientists in one of Japanese universities, they have assumed that the Fuji, the highest and the most famous volcano in Japan, might erupt soon because the magma's silica below the Fuji has increase consecutively for many years. Moreover, the last earthquake beneath the Fuji, which moved huge rocks inside the volcano, in 2000 and 2001 are also one of the causes. As a result, the scientists have expected that the next explosion of the Fuji would be worse than the last any others. However, some scientists disagree with this research.

In my opinion, if the Fuji really explodes, it will be a big problem. First, the number of unexpected Japanese poeple will stick in the lava and die with the extremely high temperature heat. Next, before eruption, there will be an earthquake. It will impact many objects. For instance, the land beneath the ocean or the land that I am standing at will be divided to 2 pieces of land and the living things will suffer a disaster. Many properties belonging to people and a government, which have been constructed, will be all collapsed in the few minutes. Therefore, I consequently had better reduce and stop using the unuseful things to save the world from the nearly disaster than get our life closer the death.

The Useful and Advance Wheelchair

Have you ever admitted in some hospitals and felt suffer from the way that nurses cleaned your body or the way you had to move your body to other places? I know it was very terrible, right? Now I am going to introduce a machine that reduce your pain and bring you a convenience a lot.

In a wireless Japan 2010 exhibition, there are many new advance and useful technologies, and one of the most interesting things in this showing is the Yurina. It is a kind of wheelchair, but more progress than the old ones. There are various duties that this robot can do. For instance, a patient just lays your back on the robot, and it will bring you from place to others smoothly and safely. Moreover, when it is the time to take a bath, this robot can also clean your body immediately or whenever you want in stead of cleaning by nurses. Top of all, it will be operated by touching on the screen or commanding it on the microphone. As a result, it is currently used in an Osaka hospital.

In my opinion, this robot was valuable. It really assists many people, who suffering a pain and lying still on a sickbed all days all nights, to move and spend their life easier. Even though it is similar to a wheelchair that is used in common, it is provided a more convenient life because constructers create devices which are easy to use. I think there are a lot of people wanting this facility to support their routine, but the cost is extremely expensive. It is around 3,600,000 yen, so I think it would be only the rich who can acquire it.

An Incredible Technology

If you are the one who have a problem about your back that cannot bend down and carry a heavy thing or disabled, this news might be a good news for you.

According to Japan's corporation, they created a kind of robot that can help people who hardly move or hold a heavy thing a lot, and it called HAL. Japanese professionals have been thinking this invention for 14 years, and it was already succeeded. This amazing robot will work when the wearer begins to move their legs forward. The brain will send some signals to muscles and then next to the suit. Even if the HAL is heavy, the wearer will not feel uncomfortable while wearing because this product is also generated to support your body. It is very useful for every person who has a physical problem. Moreover, this incredible thing enabled an old man's dream came true by helping him to climp up close one of the highest mountains in Switzerland. As a result, USA was interesting this kind of innovation very much.

I think it is an interesting and very useful technology. It is able to assist poor people to have a better life by making their life can hold heavy things or move again. In my opinion, it would be unacceptable if I cannot move on my own life by myself or if I have to ask some helps from everyone beside me all the time. There are many people who suffer this kind of problem in many countries, and this invention really need for them. If the number of this sort of people will be reduced, the world will be fresher for sure.

Cosplay in Japan

Do you like watching Japanese cartoons? Have you ever thought to be the same as the cartoon character that you like? Are you interested in dressing up like them? If you are, maybe you can participate in a Cosplay society in your country.

According to the news, there was a World Cosplay Summit 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, and it has been arranged for a long time since 2003. In the World Cosplay Summit 2010, there were two activities that cosplayers did. First, walking in a Cosplay parade and acting same as cartoon character on the stage. When the festival began, people came to line up for watching a Cosplay parade and taking many pictures cartoon characters that they like while the parade was passing through. After finished walking a parade, cosplayers had a bit rest and waited for calling their name to show their performance. When an announcer announced whose name, he or she had to walk to the stage by walking down a stairs. They posted their acts while walking down, and many people again took pictures. Moreover, there was a girl from Thailand who participated in this festival too.

In my opinion, it was such an interesting idea that arranged a activity like this in the town. First, it can enable many people that like the same thing to be in the same place to have more unique. When they are together, they will have more conversations and become friends. As a result, they will have more understanding to each other. Next, it will be good for kids that to keep away from a kind of bad thing likes drugs. When they are interesting in comics or cosplays, their parents should support their though because what their children like is a right thing.

Ken Watanabe!

Have you ever seen a movie name The Inception before? I think it was really a good movie that I have watched in a present year. I was very impressed after I had finished watching it. There was a famous Japanese star rolling in this movie that was playing very outstanding. I fell in love with his acting so much.

According to the news, there is an interview to Ken Watanabe, who is a Japanese actor and played in Saito in The Inception. He has been playing many movies, such as The Last Samurai, Letters from Two Jima, Batman Begins and this one, The Inception. In the interview, he talked about a plot of this movie and his different and various roles in his scenes. Watanabe said about the same director whom he had played with before that he was very imaginative and ambitious. For instance, he went to six countries to create his new whole scenes for only one movie. Watanabe said that this movie was the first movie that was contemporary beside a kind of samurai or army movie that he used to play, so he had to try harder to improve English language. The last thing that he talked about was the most impressive scene. It was the last shot in Limbo. It was hard to play that he had to wait for somebody to release him out of the dream. It was fascinating for him.

In my opinion, this movie was incredible and very complex. I had a chance to watch for 2 times. When I first saw in the beginning of the movie, I was very confused. I had to keep asking my brother what it meant. I was impressed both of actors and actress. As the result, Ken Watanabe was one of them. He was playing in an important character, and he played in his role very well. I have never seen him in any other movies before, but when I saw him in this film, he was a really good actor. He played very touch. It was amazing that he was one of the Japanese actors that could play in the famous Hollywood movie like this. There is not many Japanese people can be a actor in the Hollywood. Moreover, he had an opportunity to play with one of the most famous and handsome actor likes Leonardo DiCaprio. He was very lucky.

A Renovation of Shinkansen!


According to the news, a new more advance Shinkansen bullet train is almost finished after building for a long time. A government plans to drive a new Shinkansen on the East Japan line at 300 km/hr, which is really fast.

The first new thing that you will obviously see is a color of the train that catches the eyes. There are green, white and pink. Next, the most important thing that it has been a problem is a loud voice from the train during driving. This problem in the new Shinkansen is already solved by engineers. They reduce the voice a lot. The last one is facilities in the train is more comfortable. There are a place for wheelchairs, a bigger bathroom and especially wider seats.

In my opinion, it is such an incredible vehicle for Japanese people that enable them to have more convenient life. First, Shinkansen will save a lot of time. When they want to travel in the upcountry, they can go by Shinkansen, which spend a few minutes. In contrast, without Shinkansen, they have to drive their car to a terminal their want, which is going to spend several hours. Next, traveling by Shinkansen helps the global warming crisis. If they use a public transportation instead of their own cars, CO2 from cars, which cause the global warming crisis, will reduce. Last, a cost of ticket is cheaper than oil payment, so the cost of living also spends less. All of reasons make me feel jealous at Japan. I wish Thailand could have a renovate train like Shinkansen in one day.

Toyota's Crisis

According to the news, it makes me feel very concerned to every person who drives Toyota car in every country, although Toyota is one of the most popular and reliable brand car in the world.

There was an unexpected problem of the engine, so Toyota had to recall their car from many countries that Toyota had already distributed.

In my opinion, Toyota recalls their luxury Lexus car is such a big mistake because the number of recalling cars is a lot. They will make their customers disappoint and feel worried if they are going to buy another Toyota cars. Moreover, the clients may lose their confidence in Toyota, hence they might buy the new car they want from other famous brands, such as Honda, Nissan and Mazda. That mean sales of Toyota will be reduced. moreover, I think the best way for Toyota is verify their products that their quality is perfect and certainly ready to use before providing to their clients.

English is Really Required to Study.

If you are the one who used to go to Japan, you will know that Japanese cannot talk English or can speak very few. I just know why. The answer from this news is they have not learned English enough since they were child. According to the news, the Japanese government is planning to provide an English education to every student especially elementary schools next year.

In my opinion, this is a good idea because learning English since they were young will improve a lot. A basic English grammar and comprehension should be taught from native speaker because it would be a base for harder and more complex English skills when they grow up. However, a problem is how to find experienced native teachers enough for every school. Although there are some Japanese teachers teaching English, they do not have enough knowledge or confident to teach their students correctly. It would affect to basic English understanding of students.

Even though the score of test of English as a Foreign Language by Japanese student was the lowest in Asia, maybe in the decade, they would gain the highest score in Asia. Moreover, when you will take place in Japan, you will hear Japanese people speak English fluently.

A Bad Luck of Japanese student

This occurrence in a news often occurs in many countries. This news is one of the example that people should not follow his behavior although he was a teacher whom many people gave respect to.

In Japan, according to the news, there was a young, good-looking teacher. He raped his unfortunate student by following her and going into her house. She really got a bad luck.

In my opinion, this news should not be happen. The raper was a teacher who graduated from a college and had knowledge. He should realize what he had to do or not. This happening seemed to ruin a victim life that she might have a wonderful future, but it had to stop because of him. A personality of the raper was addicted to a job, stressed and silent. He put pressure on himself too much. If there is a problem, he will not tell any stories to anyone. Moreover, if the stress is increased to the max, he will release by hurting himself or others. These kinds of habit is very scared me and should not get close.

When you walk on the street, there are many people walk beside you. There are no ways how to differentiate who is good or bad. However, the best way how to avoid this happening is to take care myself every time as best as I can. Should not walk along the street alone at night or talk on the phone without awareness.

Sumo is an ancient and unique sport that Japanese people advert until now.

There are many Sumo competitions that are held in Japan. Not only Japanese people subscribe to a competition but also foreighners, which mean that Sumo is coming popular and expanding to another countrys in the world.

A Victory of Japan

The footbal world cup 2010 had already finished, and Netherland was the champion. Although Japan was not a winner, they was still happy.

After they had trained hard for many years for this football world cup, they could finally pass through the first round. There were only two teams of Asia and five teams of Asia-Pacific that could pass to the first round, and Japan was part of them. The Japanese people consequently was proud of their own beloved team very much.

Moreover, Japan got the ninth place from this competition and lead other well-known country, such as England, Italy and France. Being the 9th place was a great pride for every Japanese person.

Reasons why I choose this news are I am a fan of Japan football team, and I am glad that Japan football team was the one in last 16 teams.

The Battle!

Why are small, independent retail businessed inclined to disappear when franchise stores open nearby?





VS.





There are many reasons why the small independent retail stores inclined to disappear.

First of all, nowadays, people have more new convenience life. They can earn money easier than the past. Therefore, they can go anywhere they want or buy anything they need. By the way, the way of life is also changed. They won't go to the place or buy somethings that they think old-fashion like local retail stores.

Next, the low quality of retail store can affect to the habit of consumer. If the products expire, some of the merchants will not take them to the rubbish bin bacause they will lose their profit. They will continue selling those wastes to the buyers without telling that it expired. When the vendees realize that the goods expire, they won't buy stuffs at that store anymore. Beside, they will buy another reliable stores. For instance, famous fanchise stores.

Last, attract the consumers to enter their stores, the promotions should be interesting. For example, buy 1 get 1 free! or discount fifty percent. There is only this marketing in the franchise stores. The advertisements, which are placed in front of the stores, will convince many people to go into the store and buy favourite one. Apart from retail stores which have nothing same as the franchise stores

Uh-Oh! the Uniform!

What are some reasons why sport teams wear uniform?

In every sport, the sport players need to wear the uniform for these reasons.

First of all, to differentiate each team. For example, the soccer and basketball. When they are having a match,there are two teams. If they wear the same color, it will be hard for the players that they cannot realise who are the same team with, include audiences and a referee.

Next, behind each shirt , there are a name and a number. It is necessary to the audiences that they can indicate who is running on the field. Because of the long distance between the audiences and the players, it enable the audiences can specific players unclearly. Furthermore, the referee that he can provide the cards to the accurate players when they violate the rule and also the ventriloquist, who has to describe the game and the players by looking at the each number.

Last, for the audiences who want to own the team uniform you like. They can purchase and wear it while they are cheering up their favourite team beside the stadium or even at their home. I think it is such a good idea that they could encourage the players who are playing on the field.

Cloth Differentiate Personality!

According to the question ‘’Clothes make the man is an old saying. It means that what you wear shows the kind of person that you are’’. Do you agree or disagree?

I
am totally agree with. Each clothes can differentiate each personalisty. If you are going to buy some clothes, you will choose the best one you like. When you are going to pick some clothes to put on, that clothes would be your type, aren't you?

First, if you are walking on the street and seeing the man is wearing a Hip-Hop clothes, it can show that he loves listening hip-hop music or occasionally good at dancing B-Boy. I often see the group of people dances B-Boy with a Hip-Hop clothes. I think they are very awesome!

Next, if you see the boy who is wearing unfashion clothes, big glasses and holding many kind of books. It can show that he is a bookworm. In my opinion, he will read the book all day without going out.

Last, the PUN
K ROCK! It is very scared me. It seems like they are very harmful. This style shows how violence they are. They always have a unique hair cut, but weird. Their clothes is very strange. If I see this kind of weird person is walking on the street. I will walk away immediately!

OH MY GOSHH!

BEFOREAFTER

I am very sorry to hear that Central World was completely burned.

This department store was the most my favourite one. I often went to this place in the weekends for watching movies, shopping and looking for new delicious restaurants.

But now It has already turned into a wreckage.

I totally hate red-shirts!
