Self-driving bus in my city

What will you call this vehicle? Ladybug?  You may be surprised to hear about it, I mean this vehicle has no driver. I saw this vehicle in front of the railway station in my city. So I tried to check it inside this vehicle, but I could not find the driver. Namely, this is a self-driving vehicle. And this is a bus in my city. It seems that the bus is running in the street as an experiment by the city hall. And this bus is running about 20 kilometers per hour. It’s very slow. If you want to go somewhere in a hurry, you have better to ride a bike rather than this bus. And, when I’m driving in the street, this bus is a bit disturbing. Although, it’s not avoidable because you should not clash with this bus on the street, isn't it? Anyway, self-driving is incredible. Do you want this bus in your town?

Have a great new year

It’s said that the Japanese language is difficult to learn. I’m not sure if it’s true or not. Originally Japanese scripts are written vertically and this type of vertical script is rare in the world, I heard. I attached the picture of my New Year’s card here. The sentence on the card is written vertically. Actually you can write Japanese scripts both vertically and horizontally. But I love writing it vertically. In my opinion, vertical Japanese scripts are more beautiful than horizontal ones. However, you cannot write Japanese scripts vertically on a PC. These words on the card are what I want to send you. It means “Have a great new year” Happy New Year.

"Christmas Eve" It's a Lovers' day for Japanese

Today I would like to tell you about the most famous Christmas song in Japan. It’s called “Christmas Eve” which is sung by Tatsuro Yamashita. In 1983, this song was released, and it became a “TV commercial song”. So, when it comes to winter, this song is definitely on broadcast. Every winter. If you are Japanese, you definitely listen to this song on TV. And, this song is a love song, so many lovers like to listen to this music. You can understand what I mean when you watch this video. I mean. In Japan, Christmas is a “lovers' day” in one sense. Maybe that’s weird for Christians in the world but many Japanese young people think that way. Oh my God. Japan is a bit strange, I have to say.
