Investing in Japan's posterity | The Japan Times Online Shared via AddThis I think intensive employment support for second-generation baby boomer - often called "dankai-junior" who have missed the opportunity to be regular employees is needed. Although this generation is one major part of Japanese population, many of them hesitate marriage or having children because they have weak financial base. And there are few policies, from both ruling and opposition parties, explicitly support this generation, although I hear several plans to support younger generation who has more job opportunities. Supporting second-generation baby boomer will help make third-generation.

A point which a non-native English speaker lacks

When you study English at school in Japan, you are always required to be perfect although anyone is hardly possible. Every mistake you make will be corrected. Meanwhile I realize that we don't use so perfect Japanese among family or friends in daily conversation. Sometimes a TV program points out errors of usages of idioms or phrases in daily communication, but not so many people seem to care. So I'm beginning to doubt that language proficiency is determined only by how correctly you can speak the target language.

A small step on YouTube

This is my small step on YouTube, but I realized that it's a little bit better to post the most trivial work than imagining that you are posting great works and actually arn't able to post anything.

Sweat Crunker

Since its wheel wasn't smooth, the clunker always has hard time to move forward. Even though the road was smooth, he couldn't move without pretty rough vibration, and once the road turned rough, he moves with great struggle with relentless shocks. On hot days, he also sweated a lot. Although he managed to move from place to place, he was always under stresses.

The next day

The next day at school, I talked with my friends. Obayashi, one of the popular students, speaks about Dragon Something. I've just got to the second continent and now I'm in Rosalia. A few students followed him and asked him several questions, and they also told one another how far their characters advanced. I was also asked how far I'd got to. I said that I was probably level three or four. Every guy in the class seemed to have taken up their own quest. I got to the screen as soon as school finished, and came face to face with the name entry screen just as I did the day before. I had no idea again. I quit the game because I had to yield TV after I played one hour.

The first day I played my favorite RPG "Dragon Something"

I bought the software. I opened the package. I set the cartridge, turned on my computer, and sat in front of the screen. After watching opening demo, with great excitement, I pressed the start button. Then name entry screen appeared. Enter Your Name ! "My name?" I was startled. I didn't want to enter my real name because I didn't want to let my hero with my own name die out of my mistake or in an unexpected situation. However, I didn't any idea of fictional names because I had read few fictions. Anne for my hero? That's even more unsuitable. After I stuck in front of the screen for an hour struggling with the character name, I turned off the computer. That was my first day with "Dragon Something".
