The Secret

This book said I would become what you had thought. It's very simple. The book has many kinds of the same meaning phrase. You might be bored a little until you'd finish reading. However, the phrase is very important for everything in the future; my family,
jobs, money, health and myself.

Non-Japanese Becomes Manager

A non-Japanese person became a board member of my current company though my current company is one of the most domestic Japanese companies.
The first general meeting was held last week. CEO who is a Japanese made a presentation in English. CEO declared to use English in the board member meeting from that day. Of course, the new MD did in English. Japanese companies have been changing steadly. It's interesting.

JAPAN Athletic Competition

I saw the Japan Athletic Competition, the final for the Beijing Olymic Games. This was the first time to see the athletic competition by the All Japan Class. It was exciting. Players ran very fast, jumpped very high, and threw very long!

Open School

An open shool was held in the my children's school. I saw their classes. My son tool a music class. My daughter took a Japanese Langusge class.

Both kids enjoyed the classes.

THE OAK DOOR

A friend invited me to the Oak Door which is a steak house in the Hyatt of the Roppongi Hills last week. I could enjoy the delicious dishes, good beer & wine and the great time. I'd like to say thank you to my friend again!

USB Radio - LRT-FMAM100U

I bought a USB radio of Logitech. It's good to record some programs off-air. I buy some CDs of English classes of the NHK radio. I don't pay any more though the AM radio is staticky. This USB radio can receive allmost all channnels in the Kanto area in Kawasaki. I could listen for
AM: NHK 1st & 2nd, AFN, TBS, Nippon Hoso, Bunka Hoso, Radio Nippon
FM: Tokyo FM, Inter FM, J-Wave, bay-fm, FM Yokohama, K-City, FMSetagaya, NACK5(very staticky)

Fly Japan Jet "MRJ"

MRJ is "Mitsubishi Regional Jet". The Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial is developing this new jet. MRJ will be a middle jet for 80-100 passengers.

Honda will also launch HondaJet. HondaJet is a personal set for 4-6 passengers. HondaJet is very popular and about 100 HondaJet has been ordered.
However, MRJ will be in the severe competition. This author analysed very well.

Before WWII, the aviation industry in Japan was one of the top countries, but GHQ banned Japan to have the aviation industry. Japan developed only one plane YS-11 after WWII. YS-11 had good characters of qualities and maintenance ability, but YS-11 failed on business.

MRJ would also have some possibilities of losing on business, but Mitsubishi decided to develop MRJ because it's the last chance to develop a middle-class jet. I hope MRJ to suceed as a Japanese.
