English is very important


Why Japanese people cannot speak English or can speak very few? The answer is in this news. They have not learned English enough since they were child. According to the news, the Japanese government is planning to provide an English education to every student especially elementary schools next year.

In my opinion, this is a good idea because learning English since they were young will improve a lot. A basic English grammar and comprehension should be taught from native speaker because it would be a base for harder and more complex English skills when they grow up. However, a problem is how to find experienced native teachers enough for every school. Although there are some Japanese teachers teaching English, they do not have enough knowledge or confident to teach their students correctly. It would affect to basic English understanding of students.

Even though the score of test of English as a Foreign Language by Japanese student was the lowest in Asia, maybe in the decade, they would gain the highest score in Asia. Moreover, when you will take place in Japan, you will hear Japanese people speak English fluently.

Indian style education in Japan


Nowadays, Math, English, and computer are very important in our life. In Japan, there has Indian International School that was established in July 2006. Many Japan students are attending private school for Indian school.

Lessons include many subjects in English skill.In Tokyo, there are at least 3 Indian schools in Japan which has a kindergarten and primary school, has continued to see the number of Japanese students rise since its opening in 2003.Most of Japanese students who study in High school at Indian-style education aims to study university overseas.Nowadays, Education is very important for student who want to achieve to success in their life in the future.

Japanese politics with Thailand

Japanese rating agency JCR or the lower-level credit debt long-term U.S. currency from level A to A level reasoning is that of conflict and political and social unrest in Thailand which undermine the economic growth and fiscal position of the country. There is also a negative view on the political and social situation in Thailand is facing. Is expected to be prolonged to and rooted and cannot eliminate the out of order in a short time under the instability of the coalition, resulting in the possibility that may cause the pressure in the negative increase if political and social conflicts increasingly intense. Society will face more tensions or potential obstacles to implementing effective economic policies of the government.

Spa business in Japan


Japan is an important goal in another country where entrepreneurs interested in investing Thai spa business. Because people have high purchasing power with average income of $ 29,000 U.S. per person per year during 2545-2549 and currently a popular Japanese spa services increased continuously both for health and beauty for relaxation also the Japanese government to encourage investment business spa to boost tourism from the factors that combined with the reputation of spa Thailand is widely known in Japan, with strengths and uniqueness of the Thai massage and the use of Thai herbs as major elements, including personnel with expertise and experience in providing services is the opportunity for entrepreneurs to invest in a Thai spa business spa in Japan. A group of customers who use the spa in Japan both men and women in similar proportions of different types of services used. Japanese women used the spa for beauty is the main while most Japanese men spa to relieve stress from work. For customers like and tend to use spa services increased by only spa for relaxation and to maintain a healthy elderly population because the Baby Boom generation during 2490-2492 entered retirement age. Rates of spas in Japan with prices starting at 8,000-10,000 yen per each approximately 1-1.5 hours.

The Japanese triathlete, Yuka Sato, won the first medal in Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Game. According to the news, she won the triathlon, which is a multi-sport endurance event consist of swimming, cycling, and running in immediate succession over various distances, on Sunday morning.

She was winning in a time of 1hr 00min 49.69secs. She said that she felt very happy to be the first gold medallist of the Youth Olympic Games, and she was very proud to be Japanese. Her inspiration is the triathlon at Beijing 2008, and she thought that one day she will compete on the Olympic stage.
In my opinion, Sato has a big goal in her life, and she may be can succeed it. There are many people who have their goals but they do not try to achieve them. That is not a good thing. People must try to do something to succeed their goal like this girl.

Japan target 10th place in Sochi Game 2014

The Japanese Olympic Committee has planned a long-term "Gold Plan" for the Winter Olympics and set a target of 10th in the overall medal standings at the 2014 Sochi Games. Japan got five medals at the Vancouver Games in February and placed 15th in the overall medal standing. That's mean they need between nine and eleven medals to place in the top 10 in Sochi. According to the sources, the long-term plan is to get eighth at the 2018 Game. They have to get 16 to 20 medals to achieve a goal of placing fifth at the 2022 Olympics.
In my opinion, they can succeed their goal because Japanese people have a lot of attempt. Moreover, they placed 15th at the Vancouver Games, so I think 10th is not too hard for them.

Banned nicotine in electronic cigarettes

The electronic cigarettes is devices that can vary amount of nicotine. However, eleven out of 25 electronic cigarettes sold in Japan have been found to contain small amounts of nicotine, which is banned in such devices, according to the National Consumer Affair Center of Japan. Test results show there is not enough evidence to confirm the safety of the eleven varieties of the devices and consumers are advised to exercise caution. The health ministry is calling on authorities in each prefecture to tell the companies that are marketing the devices to recall from selling them because they can be categorize by law as medical equipment if they are found to contain nicotine. Such devices are shaped like a cigarette and allows the user to inhale steam generated with electricity.
In my opinion, if smoker really want to quit smoke, they should not change to smoke an electric cigarettes. They should stop smoking because an electric cigarette also have nicotine, and it can cause cancer.

An overheating iPod

Nowadays,everyone has iPod, which is a high technology portable media player. You can listen to musics, watch video, play games etc. However, it has some problem although it is a high technology thing. If you use an electric things continually without rest them, it will overheat and burn. This situation happened in Japan.

According to the news, the driver tried to stop the train in order to investigated where was a burning smell came from. After the train stopped for fight minutes, they found that it came from an overheating iPod. When a member of staff went to check inside the train, a passenger came and showed iPod, which she was listening to, had burst apart. That was the thing that a spokesman told news agencies. It is unclear what model of iPod was involved in the Japan in recent years. The Japanese trade ministry has ordered Apple to improve safety warnings on its portable media players after a number of first generation iPod nano were found to have overheated, which four people suffering miner burns as a result.

In my opinion, Japanese should not use iPod all the time because it is an electricity. They should rest them. On the other hands, Apple also have to improve their battery quality too.

It has already been confirmed that Ueda returned to the group's lodging after he received medical treatment at the hospital. Johny's Jimusho has also made a statement that he will perform a solo concert in Hiroshima on Sunday as planned.

In my opinion, there are many singers who got injuries during their concerts, so they should show their performances in safety ways. However, they always show risky performances for their fans.

Prominent point in each season in Japan


If you want to go to Japan, which season will you go? There are 4 seasons which are Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter in Japan. They have different prominent points in each season. The famous event in Spring is Sakura Festival. Sakura is a tree that has beautiful pink and white petals. Sakura always bloom in April, but they are bloom only 1 or 2 weeks a year. The temperature in this season is about 12-16 degree celsius. Next, there are many festivals in Summer. Most of festivals in Japan take place in this season. Many tourists mostly travel to beach or mountain which have a wonderful weather. Moreover, there are many delicious seasonal fruit in this season. People who love to eat fruit should travel in Summer. Third season is Autumn. It is a colorful season because the ground is covered by leaves which have many colors such as red, orange, and yellow. This is a relaxing season for Japanese people. The last season is Winter. In Winter, everywhere is covered by snow. Many people like skiing on a mountain in Winter. It also has some important days such as Christmas day and New Year day.
In my opinion, Winter is the most attractive season because it has cold weather that Thai people like. Moreover, this season is on December to February, so many people can go there in Christmas and New Year Festivals.

Cherry Blossoms' crisis


According to the news, there is an annual festival for the Japan's cherry blossom in each year. It has been arranged for many centuries on every the second week of March. Japanese people always enjoys this celebration with their families. For the last 5 years, the ceremony has been scheduled earlier because of climate changed. The increase of temperature makes Cherry Blossoms bloom before the time. For example, in 2009, the Cherry Blossoms bloom 5 days ahead of time. This occurrence really impacts to Japanese people because the date of the day that Cherry Blossoms's festival occur has been specified for at least 600 years, but it has to reschedule because of the hotter world.

In my opinion, the main reason which makes the climate change is the human being. Today, people use things without thinking. They do not realize that it would damage the world by raising the heat. This habit should be resolved as soon as possible before the world cannot handle the heat. As you can see from the Cherry blossoms from the last consecutive 5 years, which have had an unpredicted story.

Toyota's Crisis

Toyota recalls their cars
According to this news, It makes me feel very concerned to every person who drives Toyota car in every country, although Toyota is one of the most popular car's brand in the world. There was an unexpected problem of the engine, so Toyota recalled their cars from many countries that Toyota had already sold.

In my opinion, Toyota recalls their luxury Lexus car is such a big mistake because the number of recalling cars is a lot. They will make their customers feel worried about the other cars in Toyota brand. Moreover, they might buy the new car they want from other famous brands, such as Honda, Nissan and Mazda. That mean sales of Toyota will be reduced.

Predawn tunnel crash halts shinkansen line

OSAKA (Kyodo) Sanyo Shinkansen Line service was suspended between Shin-Osaka and Okayama stations Thursday morning after two maintenance trains hit each other in a tunnel, affecting about 68,000 people, including summer holiday vacationers, West Japan Railway Co. officials said.

News photo

Shinkansen runs between the two stations were disrupted from the first train of the day after one of the maintenance trains derailed in the crash at around 4:20 a.m., the officials said. Services fully resumed at around around 2:30 p.m.

No one was hurt in the incident, which occurred in a tunnel between Shin-Kobe and Nishi-Akashi stations in Hyogo Prefecture, the officials said.

A total of 97 trains on the Sanyo Shinkansen and Tokaido Shinkansen lines were canceled, while nine runs were delayed by as much as eight hours, according to the officials. The Tokaido line connects Tokyo with Osaka, and the Sanyo line links Osaka with Fukuoka.

The third and fourth cars of the eight-car maintenance train derailed after it hit a two-car track-cleaning train, according to the officials.

Local police said a worker on the tunnel maintenance train explained that the brakes could not be applied in time as visibility was poor due to a cloud of dust.

Both trains had completed their work and were about to return to a rail yard in Kobe. The two-car train returned to the yard.

As the maintenance trains are equipped with a collision avoidance system that sets off an alarm or automatically applies the brakes when they come within 300 meters of another train, JR West is checking whether the device malfunctioned, the officials said


In my opinion, many people use shinkansen in thier daily life. This news might be reduce the percentage of shinkansen users because they are beware about their safety.
