Green Godzilla

Hideki Matsui know as "Godzilla" who became a free agent from Angels decided to transfer to Athletics.
He signed by $600000 and he is going to play as DH・4th batter with  number 55.
Next season is going to be his 9th season.
I was worried about if he would come back to Japan.
He is one of the greatest Japanese batters so he should keep playing in MLB as long as he can.
I really hope to see him while I staying U.S.

A Japanese bath custom

Recently, it is getting cold day by day.
So I want to enjoy in a hot bath.
But I can't...because the bathtub isn't made for that.
I asked my friend who studied in Japan for a while about what it is to have been surprised most about the bath custom at the Japanese home and bath culture.
No.1 answer was Not only taking a shower, enjoying in a hot bath.
Moreover taking a hot bath in the summer.
No.2 was entering the same bath without even a family exchanging the hot water of the bath.
For me these are natural things.
While staying America, I really miss a hot bath.
Why doesn't have a hot spring around here?

Hangover

Some friends are going to graduate this semester.
Also some friends are going to be off next semester for job hunting.
I really miss them because only few Japanese are going to stay next semester.
So we often hang out and drink in this semester.
Last night we also drank and got drunk.
Today I'm totally hangover...
I saw the research that working for the headache of the hangover most is honney.
Then, I tried ,but...
How can I decide whether research is right or not.

Rock Paper Scissors

Did you know origin of that is Japan?
Now people play all over the world.
I think everyone knows the rule, but nobody knows how it was born.
For me it is very interesting because I can proud of that as Japanese.
In China they call "bomb" instead of "paper".
Why they changed that?

Hate Christmas!

You know Chistmas is the day when Chirstians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on 12/25.
Even though we are not Christian, we celebrate every year.
For Japanese Chirstmas is an event for couples.
We walk the street with partner as enjoy the illumination.
Also we  have a gorgeous dinner in the restaurant or bar.
Of course, men have to treat it to women...
According to the research, we don't spend as Western people do.
I know you guys hold a home party in friend's house or own house.
It sounds very fun.
In childhood I spent time with family, but now days I can't.
Time is changed because I'm adult.
I'll go back to Japan this winter.
However, I don't have any plans in Christmas day now.
Most of my friend have a girl friend, but I don't.
I should find someone till that day!

@

How do you  guys call "@" ?
In Japan we call "at mark".
In addition, "monkey's tail" in German, "turban shell" in Korean, "cinnamon roll" in Swedish...etc.
There are a lot so I cannot tell everything.
Personally, I like cinnamon roll.
Surprisingly, there are many people who do not know how to call "@".

3 seconds rule

Do you know "3 seconds rule"?
I have necer seen people who know this rule except Japanese.
This is a kind of jokes that when we drop something to eat, we can still eat until 3 seconds.
Then, I wondered why it is 3 seconds and I found interesting data.
There was the data which studied "3 seconds rule" very seriously in U.S.A.
An experiment performed in U.S. University of Illinois in 2003 by Gillian Clark who was a twelfth grader in those days.
Clark left silverberry candy and a cookie on the floor where she sowed a colon bacillus in and checked the adhesion situation of bacteria of every elapsed time with a microscope.
By the way, "five seconds rule" seems to be the mainstream in U.S.A.
As for the experiment, it was carried out an environmental condition in spite of being various cases substitute. As a result, regardless of the shape of the floor and the kind of the cooking ingredient, the adhesion of a great deal of bacteria was accepted for a short time equal to or less than five seconds.
Therefore this rule was a howler was demonstrated some other time.
In addition, by this experiment, there is not bacteria itself on the dry floor very much, and the safe as such is located even if we eat the food which we dropped.
However, after all, as for eating the cooking ingredient which fell, we should not eat because it is not the various germs situation of the floor thing examined one by one.
Anyway, Ig Nobel Prize of 2004 is conferred on this experiment that showed a tentative end to world "three seconds rule".
Until reading this article I used to do that, but I should quit this habit soon!

Internet

A couple who live in the Minneapolis, America establishes a website for judgment whether should have an abortion or not and vote for the visitor of the site.
Among 75,000 votes of total number, 80% "give birth", and 20% become "the abortion".
It is a couple of Pete Arnold and Alisha made a site (birthornot.com) causing a ripple.
They are both 30 years old she is for pregnancy 17 weeks.
They explains that they give the last judgement with oneself, but they take the result in the site into account.
Also, she says that it is not an abortion objection campaign and I believe the right that the woman chooses.
Is it good thing or bad thing?

Lyrics

Recently, it is often that it is pointed out only a similar phrase appears in the text of J-POP.
For example, there are  "extend your wing", "close your eyes", "flutter a cherry blossom", and "I miss you".
There is the person whom the text gets into a rut, and do not affect a heart.
I feel like I can make some songs if I use these pharases.
Does same problem happen other countries?

Energy drinks

Drink that sleepy time and time when people want to be filled up is energy drink.
It is said that drink which caffeine in particular is included in works.
However, the very terrible findings were announced.
If people drink energy drink with caffeine too much, it causes to become an alcoholic.
This research was proceeded in Maryland University.
For more than 1000 students, it carried out the investigation about a consumption of energy drink with caffeine and the consumption of the alcohol.
As a result, it became clear that there was much in the frequency that the student who drank with caffeine more than in every day ot once a week compared it with the student who was not so, and the intake of the alcohol drank.
Also, it followed that the propability to become the alcoholism was high.
In addition, the symptom that is hard to feel drunkenness appears though actually a person drinking energy drink with caffeine well is terrible and gets drunk.
Therefore peple drink heavily more and it is had a hangover and people are careless and tend to do drink-driving.
It is hard to surely get drunk when people drink genki drink with caffeine before drinking liquor.
However, people mistake it unless getting drunk because caffeine and alcohol interlace not what spirit are over it and are hard to get drunk on.
It is not energy drink to drink before drinking and, for the future,  it should be turmeric and milk.

Puppy

Russian Prime Minister Putin raises the names of a puppy given by Prime Minister Bulgarian Borisov.
The puppy of the Bulgarian shepherd was given Putin in commeniration of a gas pipeline construction agreement between the two countries.
It gets the Bulgarian name called "Yogo", but Putin wants to name with Russian flavor.
CNN tells it that "Putin hug a dog and kissed a nose"
The photograph dragging cheeks to a puppy is announced, and there is the comment that the image of the prime minister whom is tough, and is go-getter seems to soften.
U.S. paper village Boyce puts irony and suggests names such as "crazy Ivan" or "KGB".
For me I want to name " Rasputin" as you know.

Simpsons

U.S.Fox prohibited "buttocks" for the popular production formation of catoon film series "Simpson" of the station known for radical contents from a few years ago.
Simpsons was started in 1989, and it decided to rush in a season 23.
It would great 500 episodes happily, but production total conductor made clear that "Homer Simpson cannot show raw buttocks anymore" by the interview of the New York magazine which memorialized this next year.
He tells that "the buttocks of the homer wes OK's, but regulation to obscene broadcast contents of Fox becomes severe, and it was prohibited afterwards before".
It is said that it is the influence of the case which Janet Jackson caused by NFL Superbowl broadcast in 2004.
I'm looking forward  the future of Simpsons!

What is NG word in Twitter?

A certain person made a remark of the purpose that "use charges occurred when twit a music lylics" and it became a big reaction.
It is unknown whether payment duty occurrs to the person himself who twit for the moment.
In the first palce, wikk it become the copyright infringement to twit a lylics?
According to a certain lawyer, it may infringe "copyright" in the Copyright Act and "the public transmission of a message right".
But it is protected with the copyright about the common expression that it seems to use with nobody as a general rule.
It is pretty complicated to use "Twitter"...

Nice catch!!

There was the happening in Paris on November 1st.
A girl who is 1 year old and 3 months fell from the 7th floor of the apartment.
However,  she was caught on ground, and she was approximately unhurt.
According to the police, she fell from a window for some reason when she played with the older sister who became 4 years old.
According to the local paper, the young man whom a girl witnessed having fallen told his father, and this father hurried at the fall spot.
Then, he opened a hand and took the girl whom hit and bounced the shade that a downstairs cafe set it up.
Based on the story of the present eyewitness  the paper carrried "he must have been playing rugby for many years judging from that reflex nerve".
That is so cool if my fahter also could do that.
Maybe he can not because he is metabolic. haha

Gas Station

I saw the news that could be disaster.
A gas station in Tokyo, Japan, sold water instead of gasoline by mistake.
In fact, six vehicles poured water into were stalled.
According to the gas station, they filled up water to throw away the underground tank which became old.
Because this old tank was leading to two tankers, it was in a condition that water flowed from a tanker.
They sold water to 11 vehicles till they notice it and six of them were stalled, but there is not the report of the accident.
What happened other 5 vehicles?
Is it possible to run with water instead of gasoline?

Type A blood is better than Type O blood?

The research that examined whether it was easy to become pregnant for a blood type was announced in U.S.A.
It says that a result, an A type woman were easy to become pregnant in comparison with the O-type woman.
As for the A type woman, there is much ovulation, and it is said that there was little ovulation as for the woman of the O-type when Dr. Edward of the U.S. Albert Einstein College of Medicine investigates it for woman 560 people equal to or less than 35 years old.
Furthermore, it is said that there were more A type women than the O-type woman a hormone controlling the ovary called FSH(Follicle stimulating hormone).
I'm a man and already an adult so I have to accept the responsibility if it is happened. (you know...)
But it goes without saying that I conclude whether lumps it together for a blood type and is easy to become pregnant.

Domino Pizza

Domino pizza which is a delivery to home pizza chain stepping forward all over the world.
According to Japanese company site that it steps forward, and starts the recruitment of the part-time job of hourly wage 25000 dollars as the 25th anniversary memory in next month.
The details of the job seems to be announced on November 10, but it is said that anyone can apply for this work by no object as for the educational background and the experience as understanding it at present if more than 18 years old. 
People who passes through an interview and, after selection by documents, decide an adopter.
When it "is a super short-term parttimer only for one hour by the end of December, 2010", as for the working hours, it is announced for only one hour.
Isn't is amazing thing?
Perhaps I think bush telegraph such as twitter whether it is the thing which aimed at an advertisement effect to get together.

Paul

Do you know the "prediction octopus", Paul?
He guessed right at expection of 8 games including all German matches of the 2010 World Cup.
If I bet it accourding to the prediction Paul from the beginning of the match, 10 punds would be 3,000  pounds.
Today I saw the shocking news on the Internet.
He died naturally  in the German aquarium few days ago.
After finished the 2010 World Cup, he had retired to foretell.
However, he foretold few things before he died.
First, he foretold the next site of the 2018 World Cup which must be in England.
Then, he foretold the next President of Russia.
However, it will not announce it until 2012 when hold the election.
Actually I don't care about the latter one, but I'm looking forward to winning the predictions.

A large cosmetic surgery country

I found the country which took cosmetic surgery most in the world  was U.S.A. by the data which an International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) announced.
Before I saw the news, I thought the largest country was South Korea.
According to the research U.S.A. was about 3 million people which was the top of the upper 25 countries. Then Brazil, China, and India followed. These countries are developong the economic and growing population recently. Therefore I think it may grow more in the future.
For me, speaking of cosmetic surgery was strongly Korea, but it was the 7th place.
But after all it seems to be reliable to be "a  large cosmetic surgery country" if total population is about 48 million and it looks concerning an a population of hit for the 26th place.

1st U.S.A 3 million
2nd Brazil 2.5 million
3rd China 2.2 million
4th India 0.9 million
5th Mexico 0.8 million
6th Japan 0.7 million
7th Korea 0.6 million
8th Germany 0.5 million
9th Italy 0.3 million
10th Russia 0.3 million
< the number of the cosmetic surgery cases >

TOP GUN

There was movement to produce a sequel of the world-beater movie "TOP GUN" (1986) of the Tom Cruise.
Accoring to New York Magazin, Paramount Pictures offered a plan to the director,Tony Scott, and the producer,Jerry Bruckheimer, who already dealt with the first product.
They decided appointment of Christopher McCurry of  "VALKYRIE" as a scriptwriter.
In addition, Marvelick of the pilot at US Navy which Cruise played in a sequel was not the leading role, but it seemed to appear in form to harden the side, and Cruise consented to the appearance with the supporting role.
Actually it is no exaggeration to say I decided to be a pilot because I watched "TOP GUN".
I'm looking forward to see that soon.

Potato diet

Do you think that you have a feeling of satisfaction than the normal meal after eating a potato?
In fact, a certain ingredient is included in a potato, and it seems to show a high effect for a diet.
The ingredient is called "Pataine"
A pharmaceutical company paid attention to there and started sale of  potaine which extracted from a potato. It helps a diet by raise a feeling of full stomach by an effect of potaine, and preventing overeating.
Originally potato food is the dish which is easy to become full, but it becomes clear in a recent study to assist the secretion of the full hormone by a longtime study.
When we take in the same calorie according to the document, it seems to be got a feeling of full stomachs more than 3 times of the bread.
Please try it, if you are the person whom a diet does not continue, and it is troubled.

Soccer

An international goodwill match of the soccer was performed in Seoul World Cup sports stadium at 8:00 p.m (Japan time) on 12th.
I watched by Internet at 7:00 a.m this morning.
Japan (FIFA ranking 30th)  tied Korea (FIFA ranking 44th) , 0-0.
Japan and Korea entered little over 16 in the World Cup South Africa and could turn for this match, World Cup member was picked by 11 together.
Japan replaced four forerunners from game with Argentina of 8th that Japan won by 1-0.
The play result of the two countries became Japan wins 11, tie 21, and loses 38.
Japan lost consecutively by two games recently.
I think we could win this match.
We could have PK, but there was a misjudgement latter half.
Anyway, we did good job!

Prevent cold

I often heared that when I came back from outside, I had to gargle my throat first for preventing cold.
However, I knew the daring fact by Internet news.
This is only Japanese manners and customs.
There are not the manners and customs to hold at both the past and the present all over the world.
Because it is considered to be "a vulgar act" in the country except Japan.
Also "wering the mask" is manners and customs peculiar to Japan.
I think that might be reason why Japanese people live a long lives.

Super Car

What do you visualize when you hear the "super car"? For me it is a "Lamborghini Countach". As for the best speed per hour is 300 kilos and it has vertical door. It is, so to speak, the romance of the man.
If it is possible, I want to ride that. However, as for the price, it is a super class and it is over $100,000". Therefore a common man gave it up, but  Chen who is from China was not able to brake passion of it . He has made that with his hand. what!
It was a dream that Chen driven on that since the days of a child. When he became an adult chooses the way of the mechanic as work. His goal was making that car with himself.
 He made full use of the Internet and collected photographs and calculated a necessary part. He welded the thing to be able to make with oneself and produced it. And he assembled it little by little night after night after  mechanic work was over and yellow "Chen type Countach" that there was only one was completed in the world after one year.
It marks 96 kilos per an hour best without a sound to creak to be broken when it perform speed test on a road. About 3,000 dollars total costs of a part and materials. The face of the man who realized a dream and a dream has value of 1,000,000 dollars.

Dice-K

It developed that Mariners was interested in the trade acquisition of the pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka in Red Sox. He has contract two years left, but dullness continues, and criticism and release theory rises in local Boston, and Matsusaka is in a predicament.
It is a reporter veteran who is John Hickey of Seattle to have conveyed Matsusaka acquisition will of Mariners. He said  "Mariners intends to seem to hear a trade talk according to the place that I heard if Red Sox intends to discharge Matsusaka" in his Twitter.
Matsusaka spread out for four wins of the last year at nine wins six defeats, pitcher's earned run average 4.69 in this season, and it was an unwilling season.
A wave of the good sickness finishes being able to give original power intensely. Because vice to ruin itself by a base on balls came frequently not to be able to overcome the control shortage of the problem to stand up, he bathed in severe criticism from team leaders, a fan, the hometown media.
In Matsusaka of the contract, it is the fourth year this season for six years. A big sum contract of 20,000,000 dollars is still left for two years. Matsuzaka has a trade refusal article, but it is a situation of the starting edge of a precipice called the fifth person in the next season. Release theory becomes already strong in the local media.
On the other hand, Mariners suffers 101 defeats in this season, and pitching and batting power needs reinforcement together. Because the starting pitcher lacks head count, Matsusaka becomes the perfect reinforcement war potential. It seems to become the important factor that there is friendship with Ichiro of the Mariners's greatest star player.
A problem is that a remainder contract of Matsusaka is large. According to John Hicky,  it can be accompanied in a condition when Mariners gets on a trade talk if it is a very cheap condition.  CostarringMatsusaka and Ichiro are a pleasure for a Japanese fan, but I want him to stay for a Red Sox fan.

KICK ASS HOLE

"DIESEL"  carries out sneakers campaign in a music festival held in Tokyo on October 17. For this, they recruit the staff that plays an active part in a campaign meeting place in $500/day. A same day payment with a meal by half duty for greatest eight hours of half past 7p.m from 10a.m in time. The work content  is kicked buttocks as for the high service and special amount of money.
"DIESEL" raised keyword called "NOT MADE FOR RUNNING" while it became the trend to run, and sneakers for running overflowed and announced the "sneakers collection that the reason was not only for ran.
"DIESEL" recruits people with the confidence through the offer of a position recruitment to the "buttocks "buttocks which people want to kick unintentionally" which are worth kicking" it one's buttocks now.
If I were in Japan, I would try that!

An epoch-making work

The general release of an epoch-making brassiere “Emergency Bra” which substituted for the gasmask at the time of a disaster started. You can purchase it in Internet site "ebbra.com" and price is 29.95 dollars.

This brassiere won "Ig Nobel Prize" given for "the study that made people laugh and think" with the thing which Dr. Elena Bodnar invented in 2009. Usually use it like a common brassiere, but take it off at the time of the disaster quickly; and is separate with the cup of right and left. One of them attaches it to one's face and another one hands to a friend and a fellow worker. It plays a role of the gasmask and mine dust and a poisonous gas prevent that I enter the body.

Originally, according to "Fox news" dated 23rd, the Dr. Elena studied the influence of the Chernobyl nuclear power generation accident that had in 1986. She thought that it was "avoided breathing in the iodine 131 that the people whom suffered from caused the radioactivity disease if it was obtained a cheap gasmask immediately by accident outbreak" in that and reached the development of "the emergency bra".

Dr. Elena said "the woman prepares this brassiere anywhere anytime and should really wear this brassiere. The appearance does not change with a common brassiere cutely”. It’s sure to get that is useful if people attach such a brassiere in the case of emergency.

Don't do that!

Have not you heard a legend not to have to "answer it even if the person who slept near talked in its sleep?" When I am young, I remember that it was persuaded a grandmother. On earth there will be any kind of reason for this. I searched it from a question and answer of goo.
First of all, there is the opinion which cannot return to the reality world.Because the person goes to the world of that place (s)he talk in his/her sleep that is when (s)he sleep, (s)he cannot return from the world of that place when (s)he answer then.
Next, there is the opinion that a sleeping person gets out of shape. I have heard that it was a help or "a problem of the breathing". (s)he seem to talk at a stretch without somniloquy breathing. Well, originally it's anxious about the one worsening lungs and breathing mind system even if  (s)he do not suffer from dyspnea in such a thing.
It's missing, but what say somniloquy seems to stay for the fatigue of the body whether there are medical grounds because a sleep is in a shallow state if the state continues all the time.
"The reason that must not answer somniloquy" that is possible a lot if I look for it still more. Please tell the other opinions by all means if you know.

9・18

Nintendo released the latest DS soft "Poket Moster Black White"
According to Japanese Media, sale number seems to have exceeded first 2,550,000 a week.
It becomes sales more than 17,150,000 of them more than 5,800,000 of them universally in Japan, and "the Pocket Monster Diamond Pearl" equal to the previous work is expected when sale number will be big in future, and this "Pocket Monster Black White" lengthens concerning a perfection new version of the series.
In the fact, I also want that so I will ask my brother who is in Japan to send it to US.
I know it is ridiculous that adult still play video game like me.
However, you may know the main character's name is Satoshi in Japan.
Even if the name is Ash in Us, that is why I want to play Pokemon!!

Illegal...

I know it is illegal to watch TV shows by the Internet, but it is my one of the enjoyment in US life.
If I don't, I will be late for the trend with my friend.
It is also said that music things.
I used to use download site such as Winny before.
However, I don't use it anymore now.
Because I have heard the story that some people were arrested here few years ago.
To be honest, I get music by another way but  I can say it is not illegal way.
You must say I have to quit to do yet this is my religion though!

Amazing!!

Today I found interesting news from Japanese news paper.
According to that, Japanese steel structure facilities company took out a patent for the typhoon.
It said  lets a submarine dispatch in the sea area that a typhoon goes ahead through and seems to weaken power by drawing underwater low temperature water, and lowering the surface of the sea water temperature.
It is structure drawing the seawater of the low temperature from depth of the water 30 meters on the surface of the sea after the patent is a name called "the sea water temperature fall device", and having installed 20 meters in length, water line 8 with the pump of a diameter of 70 centimeters on both sides of the submarine.
It is lowered water temperature by around 3 degrees at peripheral sea area 57,600 square meters in one hour when I deploy 20 submarines in the course of the typhoon, and it is said that it is weakened the power of the typhoon.
According to Meteorological Res. Inst., it is said that higher than 27 degrees become an aim to maintain power in the condition that it is important that sea water temperature is more than 25-26 degrees for the outbreak of the typhoon. When there "is the problem in precision of the course expectation of the typhoon under the present conditions, but can lower a typhoon theoretically", the research institute evaluates this patent.

In Japan, the typhoon occurs very well. Especially, Kyushu where I live so I'm really glad to hear this!

Start!

Well...my blog starts today, but I have no idea what I could write about...
Okay, I'm going to write about recent my activity.
First of all, I have to explain the progress.
When I came to US, I started to use facebook recommended by around people.
You may know it translated over 70 countries language. Of course, Japanese too.
Last year, my friend found Japanese baseball team (called "Boston Fenways" ) in Boston by facebook.
Some members of team are students, and some members are workers.
Then, My friend and I decided to belong to this team.
Actually, I was beginner at that time, but I would like to say I have a potencial!! Anyway...
After joining the group and practicing a lot, I became a regular third base player as captain recognized.
Last weekend, 9/12, we made an expedition to NY against two of the NY baseball teams.
As a result, we tied first game and we won the second game.
However, my captain said "according to my dictionary, there is no tied game!"
That is why we are going to rematch on 9/26 and 10/3.

Hope to compete with them and I can not wait for that!!
