Human Fauna

Human Fauna
When the Black Ships arrived at Japan, 1853, the number of people who speak English and Japanese were almost the same. After 150 years later now the number of English speakers are at least 5 times as many as that of Japanese. Englsh speakers are found all over the world, but Japanese speakers are only limited within small four islands.
Once when I started writing the contents of meeting in a company in English, people around me claimed that I write it in Japanese, but I ignored and keep on writing it in English. Now nobody daren't to say I write it in Japanese. But if I were told again, I prepare to say if you want to use Japanese, get out of Japan. From my eyes Japanese business scene is extremely inefficient, in other words, inept and stagnant. If Japanese people don't start introducing English more and more in various scenes in our daily social life, those who make the most of more efficient system will take the place of Japanese.
