Beethoven Critique
2006.12.31 22:57
Always around the end of the year, we Japanese like to sing or hear 'The Delight' by Beethoven. Not only this song but others like 'Eroika' Beethoven's song typically lacks the variety of melody. One song has one melody only and its endless repetition. This is a true figure of Beethoven's work. I don't evaluate his songs.

Still we had heavy snowfall. We needed to equip chain or radial tyre on the wheel. Now it came rare to have snowfall. Drive carefully.

Biography is a reflection of how the authors evaluate him. So it might be worthwhile to refer to other gospels if they shed light on the other side of the life of Jesus, as long as the authenticity of those is certified.

I understand these three have been called synoptic and thought to be derived from the same source, but even if so, still remains to be riddle why three gospels were supposed to be placed consecutively.

Confucious as well as other figures like Buddha, Socrates lived in the same era -around 5 BC. It's interesting to see these figures reached the similar conclusion -the middle of the road (In Greek it's not Socrates, but in Aristotles though ).
Confucious was a tall man -180 cm, educated all by himself. Analects was believed to be started being editted while still he was alive. It's not written by him since we know the steady expression at the beginning of the axiom as 'the master said..'
Confucious, Buddha both lived up to 80, Socrates to 71. Jesus was crucified at age 30 something. The teachings of Confucious was ethics in short.

Some people don't like spiders, so-called they are arachnophobia. But I don't particularly loathe these creatures. Of course if they have poison, it would be better to avoid touching. But in this case too I will let them go somewhere outside the room. Back in my city it's not what happened in my room, though, in lower areas I had found centipedes. If we were bit by this, we are likely to have inflammation on the skin but it rarely leads to more severe cases. If spiders were trantula, we will feel very shocked.
It's interesting to observe how various creatures are taken in different societies, for example, dragon was a good sign in Asia. In some belief spiders, gekkoes are thought to be a sacred keeper in household.
Australia has huge desert in hinterland, Sydney was one of few exceptions in the continent. In desert those creatures might enjoy their lives in full swing. But I was unable to encounter those creatures in central Sydney.
As to your signature, all you have to do is just add 'ISCP - intellectual, so-called property ' after your current signature. That makes sense.

I read four Gospels at age 14 or 15. I was struck by their amazing similarities. I just wondered why four people had to write the very similar things.
Now I learned all four gospels were written in at least 50 at the earliest or 110 at the latest. My first question is why Jesus's life wasn't written down right after his crucification. My second question is why there are four similar copies of the descriptions of his life. There are many speculations on these questions.

He thought the limit of his language is the limit of his world. This idea is very strange to me. For me there are too many things that weren't verbalised, our mind, our history, our dream, etc. All are unable to verbalise, but they all exist. We only verbalise a part of it and it comes to be literature. In his view there are two possible explanations. One is his language skill was extremely well so he could express almost everything what he thought. The other one is his inner world was extremely poor, almost nothing, so he was merely able to express his dark unfruitful world. I suspect the latter case. He must be a numerological genius, but I was not impreesed with his language. I'm afraid his world was as dark as his poor language.

Back in my university days, we had an English circle then. No one including a teacher couldn't tell the meaning of 'Schism' in vocabulary section in English test. One student (not mention who) raise his hand and answer that this word means 'something separation', the teacher shook his head slightly and said the word of disagreement. If this student were a history major, he must have known the historical event 'Great Schism'. This teacher was a lecturer of a measurement economy or something.
It seems he didn't realise the real schism in intelligence. Or the teacher showed his strange intelligence by showing strong disagreement in this case.

The Power Of Media

Many years ago, it was probably twenty or something some politician called the media the fouth power. Jurisdiction, administration, legislation, and media. At least at that time when I heard that I thought it's merely an exaggeration. But these days while I've been looked at the current social situations closely, as if all are related to the contents media report. Mr Horie started appearing television suddenly and probably kept on appearing too many times. He became a youngster's idle. I don't know he really violated the law, but at least from ordinary people's point of view, he did nothing wrong. But he appeared television too many times, I assume he was targetted by jurists. He was arrested and indicted because his appearances made some people grow some assumption, that is 'he must have violated some law for he came to be an internet tycoon in such a very short period'. I guess there was such an assumption in it. The power of media creeps up to not only the minds of the general public but also those of those who hold power in jurisdiction. The power of media surpasses some of other powers every now and then.

Horiemon was indicted by Tokyo public prosecutors for four year imprisonment. I think he will get away with this charge. It is just amazing for us to see how those charges were directly derived from just a synthesis of several news report, and not based on an investigation or evidence gathering from their own search. The ability of prosecutors to gather and analyse information correctly has been significantly declining even from a layman's view.

The Birth Of Jesus
Jesus can't know what date he was born. Only Mary or Josoph, or Magis or other eyewitnesses can tell what date he was born. But no one says what date he was born clearly.
He was born through virgin Mary. So obviously no one knows what date he was born in the first place.

Christian people take holiday on Sunday. I understand ancient sun worship before the advent and Christian belief connected some time in around 3c.
Jesus was born in the age of Herod's reign. There are many assumptions when Herod died. He was dead when partial eclipse occurred. It occurred in 3 BC and 1 BC. Many scholars now believe Jesus was born in circa 3 BC.

This is a photo I took from unusual weather report tonight. The total amount of water on glove must be almost the same, I understand in US partial desertisation has been in progress. In East Asia instead a lot of precipitation has been made in recent several years.

The Riddle Of Christmas
2006.12.27 2:42
For a few days before Christmas Day and after the day I've been reading many articles regarding the origin of Christmas. Usually we were told that Christmas is a birthday of Jesus, but why Christmas, not Christbirthday?
In some countries, especially in Latin countries like France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, the word for Christmas is directly derived from the birth of Jesus. The word for Christmas is Noel, Natal, Navidad, Natale respectively all mean Jesus's birth. In the first place was really Jesus born on the Christmas day? Many records suggest that the date Jesus was born is the 6th of January and this day has been celebrated as Epiphany, so why on Chiristmas day people celebrate Jesus's birth I boubt?
On the other hands, the Christmas means literaly Christ's mass, mass is a liturgy and usually held weekly or annually to commemorate the significance of sacrifice Jesus himself made. Jesus said at the Last Supper just before his crucification that we ought to hold Communion or Eucharist to commemorate -red wine is for His Blood and bread is for His Body, so if we were a Christian we ought to hold this ceremony, so Christmas has reason itself to be held, but why is it held on the 25th of December? I still can't get it.
Historically speaking Jesus's crucification took place after Passover, so generally it is taken for granted that the date of Jesus's death is April, or from late March to early May. Easter falls on the same season naturally. From a bibliographical description the 25th of December was celebrated as the birthday of Jesus as early as 354 so the history is not new at all.
Probably the date of his death was able to be specified, that is around April. Some early Christians believe that the date of the death of Jesus ought to be the same as the date of his conception in Mary, therefore nine months after the date of conception or crusification ought to be the date of his birth, so 25th of December is believed to fall on his birthday. This is a little bit unnatural explanation though. Another explanation is because 25th of December is winter solstice, the length of day starts longer from this day, the birth of Jesus is the birth of new hope in humankind. The day commemorates the start of prevailing hope.
Four days have passed since I started thinking about the meaning of Christmas. Christmas Day always makes us think the importance of giveaway. His biggest gift to us was his blood and body, Christmas commemorates his biggest giveaways anyway. Happy merry Christmas!

Twenty years ago around this hour I was waiting to see her for the first time in front of Hankyu Department Store, Shijogawara, in central Kyoto. I met her at 20 minutes past 2 pm. We went to coffee shop called Trecca following her lead. She ordered American coffee, and I followed. At age 25 I was a still 15 year boy. She was 23 and already matured. We both were senior -fourth grade University students. One year and a half before we met first I called her up then I knew she planed to go to the graduate school in America. After one year and a half, she quit and decided to work in Tokyo. I was the only one who went to America to study furthermore. After one year after I went to America, I secretly went home to see her. She was working in an office at central Tokyo. I watched her closely many times from the coffee shop called Doutor. This coffee shop was located just opposit to the building she worked over the road. I watched her working there, but I was unable to call her any more. I tried to do so millions of times, but only to fail. I realised we both lived in a completely different world. Two lines came near very closely but never crossed. Two lines took the different direction and will never cross forever.

When I woke up, I realise I didn't see her. I see this dream over and over again. It's useless to see her in reality. It might be possible, but it's wasting time. I can see her in the past only in my dream, not in reality.

Exemption means free from some obligation. Currently white collar workers have to abide by the limitation of 8 hours a day and 40 hours per week 'obligation'. After this law was introduced, white collar workers don't have to work within this limit. They can work as much as they want. This is the meaning of white collar 'exemption'. You see how strange? Exempt from limited working hours, exactly.

Gate to the Hell 2006.12.22 3:02
White collar exemption means however hard they might work, they can't be evaluated as what they really did. According to some survey, the population of Japan in 2046 will be 95 million, and in 2105 it will be 44 million. To rule minority by another minority. This leads to the gate to hell. It all depends whether they are haves or have-nots. By the way I'm not an office worker. We are now on the turning point of history-from prosperity to decline.

Illumination
I'm not talking about Rimbaud's proses, but decoration of lighting on the houses for a Xmas day. Three years ago it was only one illumination from my home to my office. Two years ago, they increased more than one. One year ago they were three. This year the illumination on the houses increased to six. I remember every house in US were decorated in illumination withought exception. Till the time every house has its illumination in Japan, Japan will be the name of one state of the United States.
My Objective Of Life
I started writing poems at age 9. But of course I was unable to hold the idea of becoming a writer at that time.
I started writing poems at age 14. This time I started not being told by anyone. I started sponteneously. I left tens of hundreds of drafts, and at age 15 I made up my mind firmly to be a novelist in my life.
I started publicising my first thesis at age 15 in some journal (Not Slashdot) and till at age 19 I published my two literal writings. I did what I could do only in my highteens. I was known to some literary people in Tokyo before I go to college.
I'm satisfied, and I hadn't been satified to stay in Japan's writer. At age 20 I decided to start learning English by myself to be an internetional writer.
My pinnacle is yet to come, but if I keep on pursuing my way I will be sure to achieve.

I lost all my manuscripts from at age 14 to 16, for three years. During that time I was struggling with the destruction of self. I was forced to adopt many matters that have different values. I had been just unable to adopt harmoniously those things in my mind. Here's the word I remember from my lost manuscripts, that is ' My self will end up submerging if this situation goes on.'
Writers are very sensitive, susceptible, vulnerable, fragile. In other words in better words, very systematic. I have to keep myself healthy first, then I will encounter something different from me, as far as these don't affect me unwell, I can adopt.
For me girlfriends have been playing as something different from me. If I cannot assimilate them, I have to kick them out.
I lost all my manuscripts from at age 14 to 16, and indeed because this period fell on the days of crisis in my self, I lost them probably I didn't look back the days of self crisis any more. They were not deliberately thrown away, though, which is as good as I threw away. Because I just left them deep inside the storespace, so no one noticed these were the manuscripts.
To keep healthy mind and body, that's the most important agenda imposed throughout our lives.

Vomitting, diarrhoea. It's not serious. This is mainly caused by food poisoning. It takes up to one week to recover, but usually everyone can get well. We can find this virus in clams, oysters. As you know we have long tradition to eat raw fish, also we prefer eating oysters in raw. This is neither SARS -severe acute respirately syndrome nor birdflu. It is a bit of exaggeration to say outbreak, though, the number of patients is very large.

Mockery Of Democracy
I attended some meeting as just a guest, participant, outsider, observer, or onlooker. One master of ceremonies asked in front of us whether they should move their property to individual's property, this time to the head of the group. He said, please raise your hand if you think it's alright. It was 5 or 6 out of 25 attendants who agreeed to this arrangement. I completely thought that the proposal was rejected. However, he said again, please raise your hand if you disagree with this proposal. This time no people raise their hands. He said, consequently we decided to move the group's property to the ownership of the head of the group.
Needless to say, secret ballot ought to be used to decide such an important issue that relates to money.

Ten years ago to show pubic hair in photo was thought to be obscenity and those who published these photos were arrested without exception in Japan. But now it is generally accepted to show this hair in photo and we can see many nude photos that show this. When 'hair nude' was allowed, the authority explained the concept of obscenity changes as time goes by. As I assumed in my previous JE, if hair is to protect from something the pubic hair is to protect organ itself from being seen publicly. Can you imagine how the society of Japan was under cultivated? And there are still many strange obstacles before modernisation.

Head hair is to protect from strong sunshine in a subtropical area, from extreme cold in cold area. Hair under armpit is to protect sweat in the area. Puberty hair is to protect from opposit sex's curious eyes.

They shaved the centre part of the head from the necessity of wearing a helmet all the time. That could keep their head dry. Thus long hair has been a sign of independence from authority.

If they are really independent, they ought to have a military. Japan's pacifist constitution declares not to hold any weapons except for pure defence purposes.

The problem of Japan's having a military is they might start using it for real invasion. America was really afaid of Japan's remilitalising after the war. Therefore America shackled Japan by imposing this article. It might be natural for Japan to dissolve this shackle some day, though, the problem is Japan is not matured enough to have a military yet. This country needs more fundamental change other than military, which involves the change of spiritual structure from the bottom of their heart.

In a hundred years from 1821 to 1920, 33.6 million Europeans immigrated to America. Now the birth rate of new born baby is decreasing. This island will be occupied by a very old people who conform.
They are not all Matsuzakas or other talented baseball stars. But I think the continuous flow of immigration will gradually gain recognition among those who consider themselves as somewhat gifted.

They- Japanese already fully noticed the level of this country is no match for international standard. So they always feel the limit of individual's power. But they are aware that the integrated power often exceeds the power of each individuals. Then they are apt to get together. The ultimate form of the integrated power is called politically totalitarianism. In the case of a relatively small country like Japan this change occurs in just a few years.

Japanese people were fanatic without thinking about the consequencies seriously. Then gigantic ruling party appeared. Now former premier was gone. At the beginning of new prime minister, many laws were through the Diet. Corporation tax is cut, income tax is up. Consumption tax will be raised drastically in a few years. Walfare is cut. Defence Agency becomes the Ministry of Defence, the fundamental law of education is changed, which become more conservative than before.
Furthermore the constitution will be changed. The article No.9-2 that declares the abandonment of war will be changed particularly. Japan will be able to hold military. Japan's self defence force will be Japanese Army again.

Aside from my personal view, economic sanctions or other oppressive measures have been imposed on trade items from North Korea. There are 1.5 million Korean descendants who live in Japan, in which some population from North origin have been also persecuted in Japan. But the trade with North Korea has been not so common, North Korean descendants are already very Japanese, so I don't think those measures cause some notable effect.
From military viewpoint, Japan has patriot missile system, this system is meant for defence, missile against an opponent's missile. Besides Japan has Aegis, which can destroy 12 opponent's missiles at the same time. Aegis is equipped in US and Japan only. So even if North Korea declared the ownership of nuclear weapons, that doesn't automatically become an imminent threat to any country.
Japan doesn't hold nuclear weapons, but there are five US military bases in Japan. US military is nuclear equipped. So Japan was kept under the umbrella of nuclear weapons. North Korea was in a hurry to develop nuclear weapons because of this overwhelming US military presence in the region.

The Role Of Nation
There's no racial identity here- almost no national identity
The concept of a nation in Japan became merely clear only after 1868, we might as well consider Japan before that period was a confederation. It's a myth if someone thinks Japan is formed by one people, one language. There were many people who speak so many different languages. But politics made us feel we are united, one people in one nation. In the first place it's just an illusion.
There's still one- your people cooperate. Americans don't. Hardly at all.
Yet I must agree that Japanese people are very submissive to central authority. Americans are not. Americans are independent people who own their own view in many matters. But This is not a sign of discord. This is a sign US has a dynamism as a nation. It's very important. For if one despot appears, all nationals tend to totally agree with him, then sometimes that leads to total devastation as we had before. Japanse people dont think themselves, instead they prefer letting someone think. They just follow.
but does that mean we have to give up the smaller community for the larger one?
Japan's role in international politics has been greatly reducing for recent a couple of years. It seems America, China, UN have been emerging as a practical decision making body in global politics very rapidly. Small community is worth preserving. The aim of politics is to realise the maximum happiness for more people.

The explanation of government is companies have contributed forty to fifty billion dollars extra tax revenue for these several years, therefore it stands to reason they are worthwhile to receive huge tax cuts.
In the first place several years ago when lots of banks were dying holding gigantic non performing bond, millions of public fund, mostly tax from nationals were thrown in. Why the don't say nationals are worthy of receiving huge tax cuts because they made gigantic sacrifice to save lots of banks.
I don't hope these steps are going to be a prelude to the apocalypse from the bottom of Japan's social strata. From the bottom, as such.

Last night I watched the movie The Last Samurai, for the first time. This movie is a fiction, but there's a model for this figure.
He was so fixed in old good days of samurai warrior period. He was chosen to be an Emperor's personal advisor though he refused to give away the sword -the symbol of samurai spirit.
Finally 500 hundred members of his troops were completely devastated by guns.
He was unable to adjust the new circumstances, though he knew that the system he clung to was to fade away. Yet he was unable to surrender to the new system.
I think he represents the spirit of Japanese people right now. They know their system is completely obsolete, but they can't change their way of living, thinking. It is not their fault, though, they ought to yield. It happens regardless of whether they are wrong or not.

Your comment is very analytic as it used to be.
I don't think Japan's participation is required. Japan, South Korea always take sides with the America's view. Although South Korea is slightly more sympathetic since they are same people. Russians have less concern over the area. These three countries might be taken in talks, but it's because they are needed just in order to strike a balance.
For China, on the other hands, the relationship between North Korea and America is important as if it were their internal affairs. But I guess no countries are so serious about this area. North holds the nukes now so war is not likely to occur. Besides there's no conspicuous natural resources like oil in Middle East.

As a writer, I am very aware of the origin of words. Japanese ancient word 'Inishie' is so similar to Latin word 'Initiare'. Both means ' To begin with'
Japanese term for expressing thanks is 'Arigatoh' which is very similar to Latin word ' Obligato'. In English there's an expression 'Much obliged'.
The name in English is 'Namae' in Japanese.
Those are called folk etymology, but they reflect some truth. If these words are common, many people don't have to feel trouble. These words might be common from ancient times.

That was her virgin voyage, but it turned to a funeral ship. Only few realised the war in battleship was already obsolete. The very person who devised the operation Pearl Harbour developed the new 97 fighter whose speed was 371km/hr, previously the maximum speed 96 fighter made was 280km/hr. Aircrafts were about to play a main role at war.
I titled the cruelty of war for this article, because I suspect battleships were unnecessary white elephant at the beginning of that war. Simply they saved millions of dollars for the scrap of the battleships.
As to submarines, I didn't know that. From the experience they suffered from Untersee Boot, they might have learned the decisive effect and so kept almost all of them from the attack.

Eight Horns
Chinese Proposal to blend their old traditional medicine with modern western medicine
mercedo
Sat, 09 Dec 2006 05:39:07 PST
The effective ingredients of Tamiflu was found from Chinese traditional medicine 'eight horns' -I wrote it before. Chinese people usually don't extract effective ingredients from natural materials, in this case it's a horn. They use it as it is. They grind it and make powder. They take it through mouth.
In the first place they observed the phenomenon of nature closely and learned through empirical rules, probably they might have eyewitnessed that some animal took it and got recovered from the illness, etc.
Western culture take more positive way. They synthesise the chemical material, and try giving it to some animals. When they were able to certify the effectiveness of medicine, finally they conduct a clinical trial. Chinese empirical method will give them a hint which material to research.

Dispatched Labour
Dispatched labour had been prohibited from the perspective of labourer protection. Dispatched labourer had no health insurrance, bonus, promotion, etc.,yet dispatched labourere has been increasing rapidly recently. The law might have been changed, or just there might have a loophole for it.
The reason of this shift is clear. There's few labourers to protect in company, so the gap between dispatched workers and regular ones has been narrower. Whomever hired, that doesn't make differences any more.

Same thing. Money has no special colour for gap tariffs and sales tax.
Methinks there's a similar problem in both countries. There are many made in China in American stores. JCPenny orders thousands of boots from China. Goods are subject to being brought to America via aeroplane, but after being taken everything into considerations, goods are made in China and being shipped to America. Because they can realise the competitive price than their domestic counterpart. It is wrong if we think domestic products will be protected if gap tariffs were implemented. The change of industry structure might occur, but it helps nourishing the new industry that is not susceptible to the menace of foreign competitive goods.

Reading that, one could understand why he would write such a letter.
Thanks for the confirmation.
all the more remarkable for having been written in secret.
He had been writing his novel in a piece of paper. When I stumbled upon him at age 20, I thought that was only possible because the letter he used was an alphabet. I mean I would be unable to come up with such a great literal work if I had to use the complicated combinations of ideogams and imperfet phonetic signs. I started learning English at age 20, his work was the very motivation I started learning English.

Solzhenitsyn's Wife
Solzhenitsyn was famous for his literary work 'Gulag Archipelagoes ' ' In First Circle' , and once he was put in Gulag for a long time. From there he wrote a letter to his wife in which he told her not to wait him. She said she wanted to hear that he wanted her to wait but instead he sent her a farewell letter. She thought he had already lost his love to her, so she separated from him.
If he thought he can't give her a happiness because he was isolated in Gulag, which means he doesn't love her any more. If it's replaceable, we didn't call it 'love'.

We kept on living in the same house after her reveletion, but our relationship never restored.

Gap Tariff System
Gap Tariff System
2006.12.07 3:54
This is one of the effective protectionist's measures.
Usually domestic products are more expensive than foreign goods, so our government impose the higher tariff on import goods so as to protect the benefit of domestic industry. For example, Scotch, Bourbon are much cheaper than domestic conterpart. To make matters better, the taste is also better. So Japanese people are willing to buy Scotch, Bourbon. Therefore gap tariffs exist. Owing to the gap tariff system, people buy any whiskies indiscriminately.The price of both whiskies are almost the same.
It is easily recognisable if they were the cases of liquor, chocolate, etc., but in the case of pork, it is just hard to distinguish between domestic pork and imported one. So if the importer says this pork is domestic one pointing to imported pork, everyone can't help trusting that the one is domestic. Thus they didn't have to pay 'gap tax' that was supposed to pay. They saved 150 million dollars. But they didn't keep it in their safe, they reflected it on the price of pork and the pork they sell has been kept at low price.
Who was most benefitted? Consumers were. The head of company was arrested, but the Department of Agriculture started considering the change of the law.

According to some record left by one diplomat from Japan, in 1919 the production of cars in America is a hundred times as many as that of Japan and the production of oil is one hundred and fifty times as much as that of Japan. He said Tokyo would be burnt out three times if Japan start fighting against America. He spent in America for two years and came back.

The Fate Of Japanese
The Fate Of Japanese
2006.12.04 23:40
When American writes the word 'slave', they use five strokes. Japanese have to write 21 strokes for this word in Japanese.
Japanese people work very hard, usually 12 hours in a day, 60 hours in a week. But Americans are able to do the same amount of job for 8 hours in a day, 40 hours in a week. In ordinary time we can hardly see the difference since Japanese work extra 4 hours in a day, and 20 hours in a week, but once in time of emergency, Americans work 12 hours in a day. Obviously Japanese cannot afford to work for 16 hours in a day. In ordinary time Japanese are already working at full swing. They can nothing for it but to explode in time of emergency.
The fate of Japanese is clear. They need to be enslaved before soon.

If those who are well-known to the people they usually belong to, they are famous. Those who appear in television, newspaper have nothing to do with being famous. They are not famous as long as they are outside the realms of my world.
One Time Visitor
Two days ago past midnight I watched the movie 'Ichigensan' from 2 am to 4 am. This movie was a very impressive movie. A love between a foreign student from Switzeland and a woman who graduated from the same university one year ago. After they made love a couple of times, he went back to Paris to be a journalist after he graduated from *** University. His major was Japanese literature.
After one year of leave after she graduated from the same university, she chose to engage in a job in Tokyo. Thus they had to separate one another.
'Ichigensan' means those who visit pub or restaurant only one time and no more. Here's the link if you are interested.
On The Moon
There's a container. This case can contain 300 grams of something. But only it contains 95 grams.
There's one box. I could only find the portion of one-thirds of the size of the box. The box is too big to its extreme.
Around me there's too many things like these. As if I were living on the moon.

Slave
When American writes the word 'slave', they use five strokes. Japanese have to write 21 strokes for this word in Japanese.
Japanese people work very hard, usually 12 hours in a day, 60 hours in a week. But Americans are able to do the same ammount of job for 8 hours in a day, 40 hours in a week. In ordinary time we can hardly see the difference since Japanese work extra 4 hours in a day, and 20 hours in a week, but once in time of emergency, Americans work 12 hours in a day. Obviously Japanese cannot afford to work for 16 hours in a day. In ordinary time Japanese are already working at full swing. They can nothing for it but to explode in time of emergency.
The fate of Japanese is clear. They need to be enslaved before soon.
I Found
I found the piece of paper which describes what I wanted to write. That says ' Fate Of Japanese', I will write about it in the next journal.
Star
My profile here has been seen in more than 1000 people. That's what I think I am famous.
I didn't want to be famous. -This expression connotes two different senses. One is I didn't want to be famous, so I am not famous now. And the other is I didn't want to be famous, but in spite of that I am famous now. So just the expression 'I didn't want to be famous' means either way.
The truth is I am not famous at all now. But I have started being known to many population through the Internet since two years ago. So I will be inevitably known to many people in the end, though I didn't want to be famous.
Ths truth is I was very famous when I was in school only inside school. I have been totally unknown to any one after I graduated. The reason I was only famous in school is because for me there was everything. Right now for me Slashdot, MySpace are everything, you are my star and so am I, as well as Marxist Hacker 42.

I Lost The Paper
I lost the piece of paper in which I wrote what I wanted to take down.
I have been trying to recall what I took down in my memo. So far I can't.

See You In Sweden
Hello, maria...
I am very glad to hear from you. Honestly speaking, I have been wondering how your trip to Hong Kong was.
Did you renew your profile? I read your new blurb. It was a full of confidence and determination as it used to be, I felt rejuvenated. Thanks so much.
Usually I work 8 hours in a day, besides I spend 5 hours in writing. I browse MySpace when I am really tired. Your profile and music encourage me a lot.
My mission is enormous. You are sure to understand how the gifted child was treated if you are a musician since you are a kid.
See you in Sweden.

My first name is Mer and the last name is Cedo. Therefore my name in Mercedo. Make sense?

Thanks for the link. I think they must interogate a really wicked one. But sometimes they cannot do justice against it, but they tend to target a new rich like Horiemon, Murakami. I noticed particularly in the case of Horiemon scandal, public prosecuters have been targetted him just because his activity was very noticeable and publicly known to many people, apparently he made a success in such a short period, etc. I believe their investigation is cleary based upon some presumption that he must have committed some unlawful conduct for he mad a success in such a short time. It's very unfair. I think his success is a real one, not based upon any criminal acts.

Public vs Private
Public vs Private
2006.12.01 4:34
It's 4:30 AM. I must go to sleep though I have a feeling that I am unable to fulfil my quest. Recently I noticed my life has been occupied by too many working hours. It's so sad.
In a TV, Murakami, the head of Murakami Fund is fighting against his allegation of insider trading. Horiemon is fighting, too. Their opponents are common -Tokyo Public Prosecuters Office. This investigation agency is the strongest investigating body in Japan. Almost all members are Tokyo University graduates. Both Horiemon and Murakami are from this university. Public versus Private. Always Pubic won the fight in the past. But this time the consequence suggests outcome will be totally uncertain.

Segway, plasma television, iPod, cognac, cigar, Rolex. These are the items of luxury goods banned by America.
Three Party Talk just ended. Japan was unable to take part in the talks even the representstive is in Beijing. North Korea insited that Japan not take part in the talks. North Korea could hold talks to America. It was not just a two party talks, but they succeeded in talking to America with China's presence. It was a major step. Japanese government or civil servants has been more and more unable to cope with the situation well. The role of civil servants or government official has been declining rapidly.
