I wish I were a dinosaur. I always wonder if we have to remain on this planet or not, and I suppose that we don't and that maybe we ought not. I can't see why we should keep living here, I think it's all right or perhaps better for us to get extinct like dinosaurs. Then it'll be never likely that any one will be suffered, because there will be no one. Thus there is no possibility of happening of things untolerable for every single human kind. It seems less unpleasant than now, and I think it would be better than now in which there is uncountable unpleasure, even if there might be pleasure by any chance. I can't be perfectly happy knowing that there is some one who isn't happy. Though I think I'm one of the unhappy men, and that's why I think it would be better that there is no human. No dinosaur thinks that it's in trouble now, anyhow.

That smartness isn't smart after all I live in the old way in which people didn't have smart phones that are always ready for receiving and sending messages and information. Not a few people complain that texting back immediately whenever you've got a message is so troublesome that they declare that they'd rather quit it. When I hear people talking about something like that, I feel as if I'm thankful not to have gotten into that place, for I have had no smart phone ever, though I also suppose I've lost many other merits that gadget brings and that I don't know exactly. It seems to me that the advantage they mention isn't so good for me that I have to get one. Anyhow, I wonder why people make themselves so busy of their own accord that they hate to do it. I dare say that they might as well throw away stupid phones, even if those can give anything good. That's the very smart. Thinking of like this, however, I find that that's perhaps why I cannot live as properly as I should. I should have been involved in that modern life. I mean that a person who doesn't get along with new ways and is stuck on the old way, can't live well at present. They must live miserably, left alone by people living today, unless they are perfect hermits who shut up all civilization and anything regarding human kind. I'd like to be a hermit, in this case.

"We'll disclose the latest information to you." Gao Gai Gar. It's the title for an anime and also the name of the main hero robot in that show. One of its unique point is that the robot doesn't use arms like guns and missiles but tools like screw drivers, hammers, or pliers. The tools are too strong to be called as just tools, of course, or else Gao Gai Gar can't stand against invaders. For example, with the driver it can divide the ocean in two, and with the hammer it can turn everything into light, not leaving a bit of dust. However, enemies were so powerful that the robot was often in danger even with the Hyper Tool set, and that made the show exciting. It's called カタルシス in Japan to go against difficulties and get over them, which differs from catharsis really, I suppose. The show was aired years ago, and I don't think it's as well-known as Gundam, but I think this one might grant your favour if you are interested in very Japanese-like animations. By the way, there are many hero robots in Japan with a lion's head-shaped statue on their chest, and Gao Gai Gar is one of them.

...ool Japan Have you heard about "Cool Japan"? I take it as to give foreigners an information of something cool in Japan and develop it. And the stuff looks mainly subculture such as anime, manga, video game, and so on. In Japan, it's said by the media that Japanese subculture is quite so fabulous that every one would come to Japan for it, and many people take it as truth. I think there are some people who are interested in those works, of course, but yet I don't believe it's so popular as the media says or government imagine. I dare say that Japan is just a far country for people overseas and that they don't heed anything here so much because it's not important or interesting for them. I feel like sneering when I see or hear saying that Japan is Cool or whatever like that. Now, there are people having a suspicion to Cool Japan. They, who think it's dull, say that the government should put the limited budget into something else that is much more cool, though I'm not sure if we have other cool material they mention. Some of them call "Cool Japan" as "Fool Japan". Maybe people coming from other countries are tired of being told Cool Japan thing and say to themselves, "it's Fool Japan at all".

What I think about MRJ It was short for Mitubish Regional Jet, an airplane which has been under planning for years by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, and now it's renamed as Space Jet. It's supposed that it's because the planner thought that "regional" sounded to people as if the jet would be little and its interior narrow. I didn't mind that that they renamed the jet, but I wondered why they picked "Space". It seems to me "Spacious" would have been better. Anyhow, they had some good reason though I don't know what it is. The plane should have been on the air now if things had gone well as their original plan. And no one knows yet when it actually be able to fly with its seats occupied passengers. It's announced that the first one will be supplied in 2020 or so, but I doubt if it turns so. I suppose that, keeping the jet waiting on the ground, they will have worked at planning and modifying still when the Olympics after next is held. I hope I get a news that the jet soars high in the sky before I die.

Give me a clear and easy order to do Taking Over at an office, that's my trouble now. It's totally bothersome for people who remains. I suppose it's easy for people who is going away since they don't have to care anything but themselves. They can indulge in old memory or image their bright future as they like. Of course, it's not that all of them have hoped to retire or leave. And if recruitment are to be supplied, all remaining people needn't to have another task, but it seems rather rare to see now, since directors, boards, stock holders or whatever force employees to cut any cost which reduces their interests. However, though I myself am not one of them, it's maybe an opportunity to make improvement for those who have an ambitious of betterment at the office. They would do work hard gladly when get a chance. I wish I had such enthusiasm, and I just feel as if I were left alone at the very heart of desert. Everything seems so shaky that I can't trust. All I need is one whom I can depend utterly. I think me as a person who doesn't do any volunteering, waiting for what to do. It's because it's easier for me to just wait than to invent and do something new. Now, people like me who just wait for commands are called as 指示待ち人間 in Japan.

e-Sports It means almost as video game. I reckon that's what it is. As an old fashioned person, I myself am not sure, but recently the sport has so fascinated people that a demonstrative event was held at the last Asian Games in 2018 that is a big physical sports event like the Olympics. They declare that the next thing to do is to have it at the Olympics. I doubt if e-sports is that popular though yet. The winners can get a millions of prize at times when they win a game, I heard. It seems to me too big number for a prize of playing video games, and I suppose I'm just blind in this regard. Someone said that it's all up when you devote everything to gaming since it's not lifelong purpose but just killing time, and I'd rather agree with her/him. But yet it's an old story. It's become lifetime work to play video game. It's said so, but Japanese people are still too conservative to believe it at once, and I'm one of them. I can't see e-sports as anything but a kind of hobby. I'm amazed at the newly way of life that one earns themselves with video games. It's no wonder I become a failure since I can't take the truth as it is. What do you think about e-sports?

To visit somewhere known for something like subculture In Japan, some people call it 聖地巡礼, though it's not religious thing. The other day, I had felt suddenly like visiting a certain place in Tokyo, so I took myself to the station and got a train.As I live in country side, it took long hours and much money to go there even though I had jumped on Shinkansen, the bullet train. I hadn't prepared at all, but somehow I got to the destination. It was Shibamata where I went, and I suppose some of you perhaps know of the town as a place which is famous for the movies of "It's Tough Being a Man". Since I didn't have any particular hope to do there, I just roamed around that area looking at scenery. I didn't know how narrow the lane which leads to Taishakuten is before, even though I've watched the movies at times. Then I understood one part in the movie that people complained of a car entered the street. The temple was surrounded all but the front by glass walls that I don't think I have seen in the movies. It said that the walls were equipped to save carvings from being weather-beaten. When I reached the bank of Edogawa River, I found that the path on the bank had gotten paved and widened, but there were some structure I know. Those aren't surprising for people living there at all, however I, as a country fork who doesn't touch news, was surprised at such little differences. After visiting the museum that shows what the movie is like and having some snack, I brought myself on the way to home. After this outing, I recalled the view I had seen there when I watched the movie. That is what 聖地巡礼 does on me, I think.

Godzilla, king of monsters It's only a week since I watched the movie, and I won't say talk about it so much because I think the less I comment the better it is in every way. It was interesting more than I had thought of, and there were some scenes that reminded me of old Godzilla films such as Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla and vs. Destroyah. Actually I hadn't expected it would be that fun as it was, for Godzilla 2014 had betrayed my expecting then. Anyhow, I suppose old Godzilla fans, especially who like the "Godzilla vs." series, may be happy with this movie more or less. I heard that Godzilla is to battle with King Kong in the next year, and I hope it'll be at least as exciting as this one. And I wish to have a battle scene under a clear blue sky at times. I have dissatisfaction at new CG Godzilla on that point.
