J) Let’s walk while taking the light.

E）The cold never bothered me anyway.
J) It is not cold at all.

It was so hard to translate the weird lyrics.
It makes me crazy.
May the translator change it like this?
Does Disney’s US staff understand this means?

I feel that it must be fun for the translator which did anything on his thought.

 

Hayao Miyazaki, Great master of the animated cartoon world said to.

“We must take care of the animators’ pay.”

The STUDIO GHIBLI seems to breakup a production section.
It costs 2 billion yen a year for all animators’ wage.
The production cannot keep running without sales at least 10 billion yen a year.

The animator spends days with severe working conditions.
When it is a hard work, they have to work for 600 hours a month.
I do not understand what it happens. I do not want to think about it.
It means yearly income seems to be animation wage (1,050,000 yen), original picture wage (2,300,000 yen).
There is too few it.
Is it not a violation of the worker law?

Why is this cheap salary system?

A person says.
“It is a big crime of Osamu Tezuka”
Tezuka produced first Japanese TV animated cartoon “Astro Boy” at a price of 500,000 yen.
Because of this precedent, pricing that production of the following animated cartoon were always low.
Besides, Tezuka produced an animated cartoon to produce with 3 pieces/s, but it should usually be 12 pieces/s.
He have carried out a way not to be able to be called the animation.
Therefore the current animator must produce the animations of 12 pieces/s at the prices of 3 pieces/s.

It becomes the root that has produced inferior labor circumstances.

The Japanese animated cartoon has accomplished the work which is extreme popularity worldwide.
However, it is not continued forever.
People cannot live only for production will.

Miyazaki accomplished great animation works.
However, he was not able to change the labor circumstances of the animation production.

Nobody can criticize Miyazaki by this matter.
And, I am so sorry about the breakup of STUDIO GHIBLI.

Finally,
Miyazaki may become the first and last great master in the Japanese animation.

 

The person who had said the true intention that nobody could criticize appeared.

To the co-worker who became depressed,
“Leave the company quickly if you become depressed”
he said.
And “the applause of all members silence” came up.

This is the fact of the Japanese worker.

A serious labor shortage continues in current Japan.
It is the labor shortage, but the students cannot find a job.

Labor shortage = cannot find a job
???

I feel something incongruity.
May you find a job if understaffed?
However, actually, you cannot do it.

The students want to find a job as a regular staff.
And they want to find a job in the major company.
They reject it even if they could find a job in the medium and small-sized company, and they will find a job in the major company next year.

The big reason of this fact,
Inflation is greatly related.
Product’s prices keep riseing.
If a salary does not change, it becomes the real wage drop.
Therefore They change the job to the company of a better wage.
The company demands adaptable fighting potential.
To the student who is not adaptable fighting potential, there is no workplace in fact.

There are many working places.
The preparations that the company gives works are perfect.
But They cannot live because real wages are low.
Not contracted employee, it must be a regular staff.
The company does not demand a regular staff.
It wants Labor force.

Neither a white-collar nor the blue-collar can find a job.
There are many offers, but the people cannot find a job.

Finally, I hope for improvement of the infrastructure.
Answer me, Bank of Japan.

 

It was announced as a small article.
Is this because some big power pressure?
There is the fact that is not greatly announced.

There seemed to be a coverage request, “the surface pollution of the outdoor pool of the public school building of Fukushima was terrible”.

After having finished 2 times decontaminations, 1,400cpm was measured in the pool.
※Cpm is unit to measure surface pollution statuses such as the contaminated soil.
※The standard value of the radioactive material decontamination screening level in Japan is 13,000cpm

I do not know how I may evaluate this number.
It is safe or not, and it is low or high.
Nobody knows about the fact.
I don’t know which opinion we could believe.

Moreover, the radioactivity standard value of Japan is 2,000 becquerels.
The world is astonishing the high numerical value.
The standard value of America is 170 becquerels.
The standard value of Ukraine that happened Chernobyl’s accident is 40 becquerels.
Why is there a numerical difference?

The reason is,
Because there has been no radioactivity accident in the world, so there are not data.
It is the fact that the standard value of the security is not clear.
Terrible.
This is too bad.
And it is too irresponsible.

A person says.
For the atomic bomb victims of Hiroshima, probability to become cancer was low as they did not eat foods of Hiroshima.
However, for the non-victims of Hiroshima, probability to become cancer was seemed to be high as they ate foods of Hiroshima.
This is uncertain opinion, too.
My grandparents were the victim of Hiroshima, but they do not die of a cancer.
Do you think it was lucky?

Just in case for safety, you need to have the water and food less than the standard value.
And you must never feed a child it.

Finally, Japanese Government says that the standard value only guarantees health condition of five years.

 

The Japanese average life span of 2013 updated a record high at male 80.21 years old and woman 86.61 years old.
The men’s average life exceeded 80 years old for the first time since 1891, and the woman became the best world’s longevity for 2 consecutive years.
I’m so glad.

What is the reason why they keep the best longevity?

• Higher medical technology
• Healthy japanese foods
• Cleanliness enthusiast

three things greatly influence it.

What is the higher medical technology.
All japanese have to take out medical insurance. It is a duty under the law.
This is the system that healthy people want to refuse, because of a high cost.
However, much human life has been saved by this system.
Moreover, there is improvement of the world’s best pediatric care.
Probability to die in childhood is extremely low.
In addition, for the old people, there is a health system like a periodic medical examination.
Using health insurance, they could receive it.
What you could receive it for several thousand yen is good for the old people.

What is the the healthy japanese foods.
There are extremely fewer fat intakes than American and European countries.
As for the Japanese foods, people can take in the carbohydrates by the rice and people can take the protein by the soybeans.
Foods like the soybean and the green tea are effective for the prevention of cancer.

What is the cleanliness enthusiast.
It is said that most of Japanese likes cleanliness.
People take a bath and always keep it clean every day.
It seems to be prevented the infectious disease.

Longevity is a great thing.
It is proved that life is prolonged by the higher medical technology and japanese foods and their lifestyle.
If people in the other countyies carried it out, they may become the longevity.

Finally I have one question.
I wonder,
Is longevity a really happy thing?

 

SIM lock cancellation is made mandatory next year.
Thereby a problem may be given in the life of people.
The problem is the higher price for smartphone.

The smartphone’s price is discounted now by a rule you must use it for two years of each carrier.
This is because it supplements smartphone charges by paying a communication fee for two years.
What will change by mandatory this SIM lock cancellation?

• the case of SIM lock cancellation by the offering
  The discount of the carrier is more likely to be received.
  It becomes the same as current service of docomo.
  Nothing changes.

• the case of SIM lock cancellation at the time of sale
  The discount of the smartphone with the carrier will disappear because there is no rule you must use it for two years
  However, a communication fee may be cheaper because the competition of the carrier intensifies.
  Even if smartphone charges are higher, the payments may not change because it is offset.

What’s gonna change is only the sales of the carrier

Even if we change the carrier, The point that we can keep using the same smartphone is so attractive
I agrees with the SIM lock cancellation, too.
It may make people be happy.

 

I had eaten McDonald’s chicken nuggets since I was a child.
The nugget had caused the problem last week.

It is a problem that nugget produced in China was using the expired meat.
When I watched that meat in TV, the mood was bad indeed.

After this problem, McDonald’s sales was down 20%.
In addition, I think that people do not come to Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood.
That’s too bad.

And, Consumer Agency of Japan has decided.
Wow, it started to discuss whether requiring the display of the place of origin for the food service companies until the end of this year.

For companies, mandatory display will be costly definitely.
And, it is influenced the product’s price.
Consumers are seeking a safe food, but they don’t want higher price.
I feel anger and ANGER.

By behavior of the only some Chinese, it makes many troubles to the people.
And, the consumers increase spending money.
However, the judgment of the Consumer Agency may be a wise decision.
The consumers have to buy a safety by money, and it is no choice.

I feel like there was no such problems 30 years ago.
Is this a form of modern society?

 

New national football coach is coming to Japan.
It is Javier Aguirre.
He is man who was the Mexico national coach in the past.

Compared with the former coach Zaccheroni, he has an opposite thinking.
Zaccheroni is the coach that want the players express the football of free thinking, but Aguirre is the one that thinks a great deal of discipline philosophy.
It might be a right choice for Japanese football.

He seeks the team to obtain “teamwork” is “haste”, not the individual skills.
He seeks the players to obtain “Pressing strength”, “physical strength” and a balance of the offense and defense.

It doesn’t mean it is a team with the only strong defense, it means all need the balance.
Players with the only offensive strength may not survive in Aguirre Japan.

Some players come to my mind.

The players could obtain “physical strength” in the training, however I think the players may not obtain “Pressing strength” by practicing in the J-League. They would obtain it by practicing with big foreign players.

There is no doubt that we would see a new style of Japanese football in the future.
Stay tuned!

 

There is a working population of about 66 million people in Japan.
And, 6,350 million people have been having job.
The unemployment rate is 3.5 percent as low, and it seems that the economy in going well.

However, the fact is,

• Mismatch of employment
• severe labor shortage
• Expansion of irregular employment
• The lopsided ratio of job offers to job

Despite of the low unemployment rate, there is a phenomenon that economic downturn has occurred

Specific problems are,
The recruitment of work in the industry you want to work is reduced.
The recruitment such as general office work is reduced.
The jobs for the care industry and the construction industry is expanding.
And, many recruitment of irregular employment is increasing.

Unemployment rate is lowered by irregular employment, and it is only a temporary decrease.
As the workers change job fluidly, the unemployment rate is not reduced.

This problem has been closely related to the aging the population and declining in the birth rate.
It is said that Japan’s population will be a half in 2050.

We have clearly known to solve the problem.
However, it can not be resolved.

 

A weather forecaster was saying.
“This summer is a cool summer.”
In TV show, I remember many weather forecaster had said the same thing.

It was a big lie.

It had already issued a record of 40 degrees in Gifu.
In japan, more than 1,000 people have been transported to the hospital in only July 25th.
In 1,000, five people with severe affliction, three people were killed.

And,
Because of the sudden heavy rain, the power failure has occurred.
If there is no electricity, air conditioning does not work.
It is a spiral of death.

There is no way that you can do.

In particular, it’s hard days for the old people.
Many old people will die this year.
I want you to overcome this disaster by taking salt and water.

This is the beginning of the day-to-day to fight the weather.
