In this summer vacation, I was asked by my senior daughter to take her to the movie "Rurouni-kenshin, floods of fire in Kyoto".

I was a person who laughed scornfully when hearing the filmization.

"Fu,fu,fu. Let you blow up by yourself loudly!"

-----

When I watched the movie (the first) in the plane from London to Narita, I was really surprised.

It was me t blow up by myself.

"Tremendous! How do you make such a great movie?"

-----

Arriving at Japan, I went to lent the DVD and show all of my family the movie.

For the first time, the senior daughter began to be crazy for an actor as central character.

This time, we went to a movie theater to watch the second version.

Thought I have already seen a good movies and moved movies,

I feel happy to have been given birth.

to watch this movie.

I think that reading original comics deeply might be needed.

Anyway, if I talk about the movie in detail, it might lose interest. I want to tell you that my daughter became nympholepsy after watching the movie.

-----

According to the Sphinx who appear the last scene of the movie,

I am afraid that I was a fool to come to think

"Is he an original character?"

Today, I know his identity, but I really let me down, not to notice the possibility.

This summer, my family member except of me, went to the my wife's parent house about for a week.

My senior daughter had decided to take a table PC, and I had prepared to make wireless LAN access point at the house thoughtfully.

In addition, I continued the support using E-mail for three days, finally we had to give up making the environment and start the tablet PC up.

If I had been there, I could have finished the system construction.

-----

I said again and again toward

nationwide college students in Japan.

Why don't you try to make an organisation to support Information Technology at senior house ?

I don't say that you should do nursing care for elders.

Actually I can emphasise your merit of this organisation.

If you have a connection with elder people, you could have a chance to meet their granddaughter and grandson with high probability,

-----

Listen to me carefully. Even we thought that we had been able to work out at your age.

It was only me that could do auto-criticism objectively with despairing sigh.

(I couldn't talk catchy, good topic. No interest about show business and women's decoration, hair style, and left-leaning... e.t.c.)

-----

A junior sister of my friend in college, was laughing with saying "Ebata-san. Why do you worry about your marriage so seriously? Are you a chicken? When it comes to the crunch, I will marry you"

"Chicken" goes to the spot,

in theses days.

(Continuation from yesterday)

When I went to a facility that my mother was, a nursing staff told my daughter to say "I am a fan of your pictures".

To tell you the truth, I thought

I envied her.

-----

For me, I have a would-be fan of Ebata's works. They say for example,

"Ebata-san, I have a high regard for you"

"If "Higashino Keigo" is in the west, "Ebata Tomoichi" is in the east"

They, who are generally younger, are saying such ringing and fabled compliments ("perfect lie" in fact) without hesitation.

However, I am afraid that their comments are not something of fan of my works.

I rather feel that their each comment includes extreme disdains and scorns against me.

I have written a lot about the "Pacific War" recently, but I have noticed somewhat.

It is a fact that it says "memory of war is being lost" and I am afraid that this is inescapable inevitable, however,

On the other hand, I also feel the atmosphere that "the situation of war is being told clearly".

-----

For example, in the recently described "Impal Strategy" of NHK Non-Fiction program,

"Soldiers who fell into hunger ate meat of fellow countrymen who became corpse (caribalism)"

was quite a shocking content for many people, I thought.

(By the way, I knew it well because I read a lot of books about them since I was a teenager)

Furthermore, in that program, the opinion

"When they were alone in an injured state, there felt a fear that they could be eaten by being attacked"

was introduced.

(I was surprised because I did not even know this)

-----

This seems to be related to the fact that "the number of people who want to conceal such facts (especially people on the power side) are decreasing".

After over 70 years of age,

"Finally we become able to speak "misery of war" directly, without metaphor"

I thought that it might be possible to interpret "positively".

I studied the word "personification" with wikipedia.

"A method of metaphor giving human nature and characteristics with things other than humans as people"

Well, although I understand so far,

"The pencil flew from the hand"

"The tree jumped on the way in front of my car"

"U.S. Defends Sale of Ports Company to Arab Nation"

Looking at the above examples, I know "personification I have thought" is quite different from them.

(I also wrote personification columns of "Japan", "artificial intelligence" or "EtherCAT"),

-----

"Personification I have thought" is about characterization for me, and I have introduced them well until now repeatedly.

Recently,

- Standing modern history

- Working cells

make me fun very much, I am crazy for comics, based on "Characteristics of the people of a prefecture"

"At the place where I live"

-----

Some people think that "giving a character for each prefecture" might be

a danger of misunderstanding, as same persons who believe that "blood type and personality are related"

The author's "Mogura" is sufficiently explained that "the person's personality is not determined by the place of origin" (The way of this explanation is also pretty good).

Based on that, "giving a character for each prefecture" feels good for me.

(To be continued)

I am not interested in unfaithful love and entertainment at a gangster banquet of other. I want to say "it doesn't matter to me."

I think people who should apologize should go to an apology, however why did they use limited public resources (radio waves)?

I think everyone is happy if they use YouTube.

I feel like my precious time has been lost in vain and I also feel unpleasant.

-----

When I tried to tell that my daughter, she said that

- A celebrity who is just enough to use public resources,

- betrayed the expectation of a relatively large number of people

That means,

- Since the media is intended to report to the public, so such an apology broadcast is almost appropriate

I was convinced at that time

-----

However, I thought that it was possible to interpret this opinion as “I am wrong because I have no interest in celebrities"

Last week, I came into work for the first time in a long time.

I spent half a day alone in the laboratory, working on materials.

I took a quick peek at the office, but all the lights were off and the doorways to the office were locked.

"Maybe, this situation could stay that way forever"

It was a landscape that made me feel it.

Aside from that.

-----

It's been a long time since we ate out at our favorite Chinese restaurant. The deliciousness of the "eggplant set meal" almost brought tears to my eyes.

"Why is eggplant so delicious?"

We ate with gratitude that the Creator had created the "eggplant".

-----

When I was in elementary school, an old lady who was a Christian missionary came to my house.

"Why are apples made round? That's because God made it into a shape that is easy to eat"

She argued for the existence of God by arguing the above phrase, however I argued against her with the followings.

- It would have been more effective from a packaging point of view if the apples were made in a rectangular shape, which would have reduced logistics costs.

- The reason why the apples are spherical in shape is not only because of their entropy, but also because it helps to minimize costs as a seed strategy

In the first place, fruits with high sugar content have only survived to spread their "seeds" to insects, and they have not evolved specifically for humans. Humans are interfering with our fruit dispersal strategy.

- If it was God who made the apple round, then God is really 'useless' for a guy.

with smiling.

And, well, the religious people had stopped coming at all.

-----

Well, aside from the apples, if making the eggplant --

God is a "useful guy"

I was wondering if it would be good to change my perception of the situation.

I walk late at night with my headlights on, and read papers, paperback books on iPad.

We passed through the main gate of the university on our walking route, and there were three vans and about a dozen university students gathered, looking like they were getting ready to go somewhere.

Well, it was late at night, so they were not noisy, but were not wearing masks either.

"I'm sorry for them, but they are in 'peer pressure'"

I thought that.

-----

Here is a part of my column manuscript that will be released this month.

======

I was in the U.S. for only two years, and I kind of understood it then (and the last presidential election made me realize it again), but not all the people in that country are intelligent, rational, and have high-income jobs like the people in "Radio English conversation".

In some places in the U.S., there are communities that are more closed than "The Village of the Eight Graves," and nearly half of the population still rejects the theory of evolution for religious reasons.

Furthermore, it is clear that in this day and age, there are a certain number of people (including the nation's top leaders) who have unscientific ideas such as "anyone who wears a mask (to prevent infection) is a chicken (weakling or coward).

======

Well, regardless of age, gender, or sex, "peer pressure" occurs in a group, no matter how big or small.

People who resist 'peer pressure' are hated by the group as 'airheads'.

And most of us switch our response depending on the situation, not on which is right, but on which is less disadvantageous to us.

When I was young, I remember struggling to fit in with the "mood" and "atmosphere" of the place.

I don't think it was a waste of time, either -- although it was quite painful.

-----

That's why it's so easy for me to be in a position where I can decide for myself if I belong to a group or not.

At least, I feel happy that I don't have to "take off my mask and have a happy conversation with my friends," even though I understand the horrible risks.

I have just known from an NHK program, "free research is a phantom subject that disappeared after four years".

It seemed to be same as Math. and Japanese.

Some people who are more than 81 years old, remember the "free research" subject.

However, it was going to be abolished to shift "systematic education", it meant "packed education".

As for teachers in class, they felt that it was a "waste" and wanted to leave it as homeworks for the summer vacation.

-----

In 1974, "free research" was a subject, so teachers were mentors (or advisors) for the subject.

Now for the "free research", the guardians are going to be enforced to be the roles.

As a result, the guardians as a mentor come to feel a stomach pain every summer.

The reason is that "free research" is not only difficult but also to specific the level-control.

In conclusion, they cannot know "theme", "quality" and "quantity" of the free research.

-----

I remember writing the story of "something with the word "free", have people suffer".

I think that teachers should deliver the past "free research" to both the children and guardians.

-----

Oh, this is the year I was going to write 'Introduction to EXCEL for creating a proper free research report in the last three days of summer holiday', but I completely forgot about it.

I talked about this with my oldest daughter, who has only done one trial.

Listen to this story,

"My daughter beat me."

I was gutted.

-----

Based on the fieldwork, my daughter identified the following issues.

(1) Convenience store lunches, for example, tend to make a lot of noise, and there is a high risk of being recognized by others." Therefore light meals (e.g., sweet bread) are limited to those that do not make a "noise."

Cause of people coming and going, I don't feel very comfortable.

I asked about 'resistance to hygiene,' and she said she wasn't too concerned.

Well, I am waiting for the publication of future studies on quantitative comparisons in this area.

-----

As a joke, I did an article and literature search using "lunch in the toilet" in Japanese as a keyword,

"Number of hits, 59"

I wasn't sure how to say these Japanese words in English, so I searched for them using the following search key.

"food in the toilet" | "food in toilet" | "lunch in the toilet" | "lunch in toilet"

"Number of hits, 60"

Yeah, it's okay.

"Food in toilet" is international and is becoming more and more global.
