Drink with Frogs

I drank with two of my friends at Shinjuku tonight.


All we enjoyed the time as if we'd gone back to the university days.


Thank you guys, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again. (^o^)





Anyway, I tried this for the first time.

I devoured Stir-fried bullfrogs!!



Am I wild??


The taste is just like whitefish.


If you want to try them, go to 川香苑 (Senkou-en) at Shinjuku.

Japan 6-0 Jordan

This is "Saiko ni Chodoii Honda"!!

Keisuke Honda scored a hat trick as Japan trounced 10-man Jordan 6-0 in the second match of World Cup qualifier last night.


The following video shows you more goals of not only Honda but also Ryoichi Maeda, Shinji Kagawa, and Yuzo Kurihara.

All we know Japan is much stronger than ever before, but don't be satisfied with the present situation.


Be hungry!!

AKB election 2012

Yuko Oshima (center), 23, made an emotional comeback in this year's AKB general election held on June 6th in Tokyo.


She gathered 108,837 votes followed by the second placed Mayu Watanabe (right) with 72,574 votes and the third placed Yuki Kashiwagi (left) with 71, 076 votes.


Without last year's winner Atsuko Maeda, Oshima was expected to win a landslide victory in the election, and it is indeed.





I'm not so interested in AKB itself, but I'm interested in the social effects of the election.


The total ballot was...to my surprise, 1,384,122!!


Such number drives today's recession away!!


Japan's government should learn how to attract people from that election.





And I really want to know why not only fans but also media get so enthusiastic.

Blue Cheese Burger

FRESHNESS BURGER has introduced an amazing combinaion between Classic Burger and blue cheese.

The distinctive smell is not so strong.


The blue cheese melts like a cream cheese, and its salty taste goes well with the juicy hamburger steak.




Don't miss it if you're a cheese-lover!! (^^)

Japan 3-0 Oman

Nobody can stop the Samurai Blue's motor Keisuke Honda!!

As you know, we Japan made a comfortable start to the final round of qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup with a 3-0 win over Oman last night at Saitama Satadium.


CSKA Moscow midfielder Keisuke Honda settled Japan's nerves in front of 63,551 supporters with an exquisite left-footed volley from Inter Milan defender Yuto Nagatomo's super cross in the 12th minute, before goals from Ryoichi Maeda and Shinji Okazaki early in the second half made the game safe for the reigning Asian champions.


Japan dominated throughout the 90 minutes, with Oman limited to a single shot on target through midfielder Fawzi Doorbeen at the end of the first half, and never able to create another clear scoring chance.



So fntastic, wasn't it!!??



Don't miss the highlights!!

Go, Japan, Go!! ＼(^o^)／

Grade Skipping for High School Students

The education ministry is planning to allow high school students to graduate and enter university after completing only their first two years.


The envisioned system aims to enable top high school students to go to university earlier so that they can focus on specialized fields and play a key role as professionals in the international community.


However, that system is expected to be criticized as overly elitist and could potentially result in some parents putting excessive pressure on their children to excel at school.




Under the system, I think, it must be too hard for teachers to deal with a possible widening gap between top and bottom students...

-8.50

I bought contact lenses yesterday, but the power of them ups again to -8.50 in the right eye and -7.50 in the left.

That means my eyesight has been failing.


I'm climbing up the ladder to visual handicapped...
