Hi David and everyone,

I am happy to report that I am taking a vacation next month. As I mentioned before, I haven’t taken a long vacation since 2008. I am going back to Okinawa for a week. Also my sister is coming back from the US with her two daughters next month and they will be staying in Okinawa for 9 days and in Tokyo for 4 days. I am pumped about that, especially meeting new baby girl. She was born this February, so she is just four months old. I can’t wait ;-)

Speaking of this week topic, sorry but, I am so sleepy to write about it, so I will write a comment later.

Good night and sleep tight,
amo

Hi Amo,

Your comment made me laugh - only in Japan would a week's holiday be described as a "long" vacation!

Anyway, I hope you have a great time with your family.

Hi David,

Sorry for my late comment to the last entry. Thank you for your feedback and answer to my request for the summary of the discussion before the last week. I see, communicative exercises are good themselves, but if neither students' input nor teachers’ feedback was not enough to meet the purpose..., it might be a real waste of time. As for today’s topic, it’s the most difficult filed for me. I'm worried to face to the rise in consumption tax because I have little salary or saving, however, I know Japan is hopelessly in debt, so we will have no choice. I think they have put it off till the last minute. In my opinion, they should have done it much earlier than having made highway free of charge or some other funny things. Besides, I really hope the salary of politicians cut down and the price of cigarettes goes up, say around 1,000 yen a packet(lol).

Hi amo,

I'm happy for you. You can stay "long" in Okinawa with your big family this summer.:)

Hi everyone,

Have you heard of “the Young Americans”? They have been doing the International Music Outreach Tour around the world and now you can join this in Japan this summer. Last week, 45 members #18-25 years old#, 3 directors and some staff visited a university nearby my place and did 2-hour-workshop in the gymnasium. About 180 kids of elementary, junior high, high school and junior college joined this. We, observers were also excited to see how they were preparing for a 30-minute-show only for 2 hours. First, the members showed us the performance. Next, all of children got into around 40 groups and watched each leader dance and sing, soon after, they did the same things. Then, number of group often changed like making 3 groups of different ages, 2 groups of boys and girls, and any other numbered groups depends on the dance and song. They suddenly came to observers’ seats and looked for someone, “Does anyone know this song?” If you knew the song, you would be on the stage too. Children and the youth were so great that they learned lots of repertoires soon. After 2 and a half hours later, the show started. That was fantastic! They involved us too. We had a chance to sing and dance with members holding hands. After the show, all of kids seemed really satisfied. Two members and two Japanese college students stayed with us at the night. That’s a night to remember. If they visit your place, I highly recommend your children and you will try this workshop. You will never regret.:)

Hi everyone
About the topic, it's difficult for me, who is not good at politics, to convey my thoughts.
Hey, It's difficult even if I do in Japanese.

I'm not support the consumption tax raise but, I guess, It's inevitable from the point of Japan's current financial situation.
I don't want them, politicians, to waste our money as David mentioned.
Because most of us are not so well-off now.
I can't forgive that our tax money will spend for politician's own advantages behind the scenes.

Mr.Hatoyama declared several plans which make our life much better in his manifesto when the leading party changed from LDP to The Democratic Party.
He tried to find out all the wastes and cut them down.
And he accomplished some of his plans, child allowance money, no tuition fee for public high schools.
But the things were not so easy, he failed in Okinawa issue.

In Britain, VAT might be raise to 20% and it is going to be decided tomorrow.
I learned that the situation is as hard as ours in Britain too, from Dvid's blog.
Does the VAT raise is one of David Cameron's or The Conservative Party's tactics?

In Northen Europe, people pay high tax but they can get very good social services for free.
Anyone can get those services fairly.
In those countries, people are highly approve the goverment.
So I don't think such a tax system go well in Japan

Anyway, If the tax will be raised, I hope politicians will use our money fair and square!

David, I hope the the tax raise will waite until you buy your house.

Hi David and everyone,

This week's topic is very difficult to discuss even in Japanese!
I'm not happy about the government's plans for raising consumption tax to 10%, but without doing this , how can the government afford to squeeze the money,the budget.
I support Kan's plans and according to the newspaper, his plans will (be going to) be effective in a few years not now.
Since the Hatoyama administration started last year, his Cabinet has been tackled with a lot of problems and proposed welfare policies such as child allowance, but it is true Japan's deficit is enormous and it is very difficult( or impossible# to squeeze money.
If Hatoyama had continued his administration and Ozawa had still power behind, this issue would not have been put on the table as manifesto. Some of the DPJ#民主党）members and Social Democratic Party(社民党） oppose the tax increase. I'm wondering how they intend to solve the problem of Budget deficit.
Anyway, I expect this administration to use revenue wisely.

Hi Sam,
I agree with you. Before the tournament starts, I thought," it would be nice if Japan could progress to the second round," but now I think," When Japan could progress, ...." instead!
By the way, three players from Nagoya Grampus Eight,Narazaki,Tamada and Kennedy(from Australia), are now in South Africa. I wish I could see them do a good job!

Hi tsuneko,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the members in the Young Americans. I'm happy for you and children!

By for now,

Anne

Tomo, I see you smiling.:-)

Anne, Sam, I like the current team best of all because they are all powerful (and handsom). I like all, but my favorite player is Nagatomo. He is small but has a great guts. Matsui is nice, too, but he doesn't look like an athlete but has something like an artist. Anne, Tamada's dribbling is great. I won't be able to see the game live this Friday. I'll keep my fingers for them. Go! Go! Team Japan!

I'm originally from Shizuoka pref., I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow morning for my grandmother's 13th ceremony. I'm very happy to meet aunties, uncles, cousins and their children. I'm also looking forward to going to a hot spring together with them after the ceremony.:) See you on Saturday.

Hi David,

Did my comment make you laugh? It’s good for your health, but your comment made me a bit of cry. Of course, it’s not your fault, but my sentence!! Because I did not mean to say that I was taking a long vacation this time, but my comment made you think so, right? I did not express my feeling properly :-(
Anyway, I should be careful to write a sentence like this “I haven’t taken a long vacation since 2008” because it implies that this next vacation is also long, right?

As for the topic, I am not happy if consumption tax is up to 10%, but if the government use our money proper way, I don’t mind paying it.

> but it annoys me to see so much money being wasted in Japan. If the government does decide to raise taxes, I hope that they will also work on cutting down on some of this incredibly wasteful spending.
I couldn’t agree more! It really annoys, so I just hope not that they will waste our money any more!!

Hi tsuneko,

I have never heard of “the Young Americans” and it sounds interesting. It must have been a good experience for you.

Hi tsuneko and Anne,

Thank you for your words. I am really looking forward to it.

Hi Tomo,

I know that the things just keep you busy these days. Even so I am looking forward your comment.

Take care

•  amo

Hi Amo,

I just meant that Japanese people usually do call a one-week holiday a "long vacation." I remember my friend Aoki san had a "refresh kyuuka" after he had worked for his company for 20 years, and that was just one week! I was very surprised when he told me. I thought it would be a couple of months.

•  David
• 2010年6月23日 08:40

Hi everyone,
As for the topic, Governmennt cannot help
raising consumption tax to 10%, considering huge deficit. My husband is a recipent of pensions, though he works three days a week. Except necessities and groceries, 10% is O.K. But for necessities an groceries, I'd like the administration let the consumption tax to be 5%.

•  Carrie
• 2010年6月23日 10:12

I just saw on the news that the British government has indeed announced that they are going to raise the rate of VAT to 20% :-(

•  David
• 2010年6月23日 11:13

Hi everyone,
Rise in consumption tax seems unavoidable in Japan as well though I don’t support this idea. I just wonder how the government could have piled up so many debts for us. If most countries are in debt, where did the money come from? I wonder, are there countries not in debt, or the creditor nations? I can’t stop them raising the tax, but I want to be shown how they spend the money and some practical policies on social walfare. Although the Democratic Party is trying to cut off the wasteful spending, it’s not enough at all, I’m sure there are still enormous money being wasted right now.
Also, I have the same concern as David, if the price is raised, people will be more careful of spending their money, sale amount gets down, stores and factories have to cut the labor cost, and many people will lost their jobs. That will lead to a long term recession again.
Japan’s economy hasn’t recovered from last economic crisis yet, the unemployment rate still keeps high, many people are struggling for life. So I really hope that tax hike will be put off at least in 2 years. Just my hope.

Hi David, how are your legs today?
That’s a bad news! Maybe you should live in Japan longer?

Hi Amo, anyway you got a week holiday, no matter it’s long or short, I’m happy for you!

Hi Anne,you used a word “squeeze” for money,it’s new to me　but interesting,　I won’t forget it.

Hi David and Everyone,

Hope you still remember me!;-)
I've been busy and stayed up late at night to watch World Cup recently, so lack of sleep makes me sleepy for the last several days. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching soccer games every day. I will try to watch the game; Japan vs Denmark on Friday!
By the way, please google "world cup" and have a look at the logo at the bottom of the page. It's really nice!

As for the topic, it's difficult for me to talk about even in Japanese, as some other members said. I'm not happy about the goverment's plans for raising consumption tax to 10%, as so much money is wasted in Japan. However I'm wondering how the goverment will solve the financial problems without raising the tax, as Anne mentioned. They've cut down some projects' budget with the screening process, but it isn't enough yet, I guess. Personally, I don't agree with child allowance and free public high school fees in some ways, and they should have considered how they reduce wasteful budget, before both plans started. Anyway, I don't mind to pay tax if they use it properly and fairly, though I'm still not happy.:-(

Hi David,

What a happy report it is!;-)

Hi tsuneko,

Have a wonderful time with your family!

Glad to see your comment here! I was wondering what had happened to you. I've been busy with watching and following each game too! We can't miss tomorrow game,can't we?
By the way, I agree with you; child allowance and free public high school fees. They should use it for supporting working parents,preparing enough nursery school and some other plans. I don't agree with the idea"a kind of ばらまき手当て."

Hi Ling,
As for the word"squeeze", when I wrote my comment, I wanted to express the nuance"何とか捻出する" and then words"squeeze" and "subsidize" came to my mind. I used "squeeze", but I've never used either of them and didn't check the usage of this word, so I'm not sure if it fits here or not.
Actually there are a lot of meanings in "squeeze." I'm afraid it could be the opposite meaning.
This word originally means "squeeze a sponge and water comes out."

About child allowance and free public high school fees, I don't think it's a good idea, either, but I'm happy about it becaue I have three children and one of them go to a public high school, ha ha.

Hi everyone,
As for the government's plans for raising consumption tax to 10%, I'm not happy about it at all even though it would be easier to calculate the tax we have to pay when we buy some things. I also see on TV that so much money is being wasted in Japan, and it really annoys me. What are they doing with our money? They should cut down on wasteful spending before they raise taxes. They don't know how to use money or how to make ends meet with the money they have. I can't trust politicians. They are hopelessly stupid!

Have a nice day,

I don’t think I’m able to watch the game at that time, but I really hope Japan will win.

I think the word "squeeze" exactly expresses the nuance "何とか捻出する",it’s very easy to imagine and we won’t get the opposite meaning.

Hi David and everyone
Today is a historic day. Japan went thorough first round in World Cup.

As for topic, I think the government need more money because demands for public service are increasing. The number and quality of services they should do is definitely larger than few decades ago. But, as other members said, raising consumption tax is not the way they choose first to earn money. These are too many wastes. Government must take effort.

Hi Maki
Glad to hear from you again. I have seen that "Gooooal" logo. It was funny:-)

I wached the soccer game Japan vs. Denmerk this morning. The Japanese win made me happy because South Korea had already decided that it would go to the second stage.

In my impression, especially in sports, South Korea regards Japan as a rival.

In the next stage, Japan is going to have a game agaist Paraguai, and South Korea is going to have another game agaist Uruguay.
As you know both of two countries is Latin America.

I think it's very interesting. I feel somthing like fate.

Go Japan!

Virginia, I hope and pray that youve been reading the other posts regarding your comments This healthcare bill is another step closer to Socialism, and the Chicago Politics by this Administration .. Do you wonder why Rohm Immanuel is taking the Blue Dog Democrats to the woodshed for an arm-breaking meeting? Many of the Democrats are not onboard this plan, and they are looking out for themselves in the 2010 elections .. Americans are rising up against this bill and Congress!! Any Politician who votes FOR this bill, will pay a price at the polls next year! Hopefully you watch TV and see how upset Americans are .. and they are NOT Manufactued, Astroturf citizens Were from all over the Country .. How can so many Patriotic Americans be so upset over this bill, you ask ? Because its akin to patient dumping . We will be told how to manage our healthcare by the Govt., instead of our Doctors and what treatments the Govt. will pay for .. So, if you need a hip replacement when youre 85, youre too old, and pain pills will be your only choice . You will be old one day, and I hope you realize now what it could mean to YOU, as you age Your vote for this bill will affect everyone in YOUR family as well from your ageing parents to a child born with a birth defect .. The Govt will decide who can live and who wont its just that simple Whatever decision you make, make it an informed, educated one As I said in an earlier post, I dont have health insurance for myself .. but this plan would NOT be a public option for me
