   【 Kujyu-Kuri-Hama 】Famous Swimming Beaches
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

My nephew is now in the fifth grade.
He is very talkative and cheeky, but he is very cute and I spoil him every time.
Every time I do, my sister gets angry with me.

The other day, my nephew wanted to go to the beach, so I took him to Kujukuri Beach.

However, due to the inability to take thorough measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and to allay the fears of local residents, the beach was closed again this year, as it was last year.”

Although swimming was not allowed, we were able to go to the edge of the waves, where we collected seashells and played.

Here is an explanation of Kujukuri Beach.
Kujukurihama is an arc-shaped sandy beach along the Pacific coast in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture.
It stretches for about 66 kilometers from Byobu Cape in the northeast direction to Taito Cape in the southwest direction, and is the second largest beach in Japan after the Enshu Sea.
These two capes, rising at both ends of the Kujukuri Beach, have a plateau 50 meters high, which is very soft and very fragile.
The plateau is characterized by being very soft and very fragile. The sediment eroded from the plateau became drifting sand and moved with the coastal currents, accumulating in the form of sandbars in the coves, and over a long period of time formed the strip of coastline that we see today.

   No feeding wild monkeys
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Hello.
I am the one who editting MOMOTARO fairy tale, and I am currently training Haru’urara in the smartphone game “Uma Musume” published by Cygames.

In the old story “Momotaro,” one of the problems that arises when trying to get around today’s strict compliance is the scene where he offers millet dumplings to dogs, monkeys, and pheasants.
In this article, let’s try to avoid this problem somehow.

Offering unfamiliar food to dogs may be problematic from the perspective of animal welfare, but in case you’re wondering, millet is rich in protein and vitamin B1, and is a safe food to feed to dogs.

Feeding grain-derived millet dumplings to pheasants may not be a problem, but considering the cases of humans feeding pigeons and causing them to breed in the neighborhood, it also seems dangerous to give them food easily.

The biggest obstacle would be monkeys.
Feeding wild monkeys would certainly be a nuisance to the neighbors, even if there were no modern ordinances.

So what to do?
Let’s pretend that they were all humans.

Think about it.
Aside from dogs, would monkeys and pheasants follow humans to Onigashima?


Probably, children from the village with nicknames like “dog” and “monkey” went on an adventure with Momotaro.


Momotaro: “Grandma, I’m going to kill demons!
Grandma: “I don’t know how to ……, but I’ll bring millet dumplings as a snack.

Momotaro: “Let’s go exterminate demons together, you guys!
Dogs, monkeys, and pheasants: “I don’t know, but millet dumplings are delicious!


If there were such a thing, it would probably go something like this.
The momentum of a child is sometimes scary.

   Short-Distance Running and Long-Distance Running
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I’ve been running a lot with my kids lately.

I used to be on the track and field team in school, so I think I have some knowledge about running and teach it to the kids.

Did you know that there is a difference in the way you use your body, sprinting for short distance running and running style for long distance running?

There are many points to be aware of, but the one I would like you to be especially aware of is how to move your legs.

Kicking your legs back (kickback) is good for running (long distance running).
Running with the knees up like a thigh lift is sprinting (for short distance running)

My son is not very athletic, to be honest.

He is not very athletic, and his short distance running is not very springy.

I’ve been teaching him about sprinting and helping him improve his running form.

He still has a lot of work to doand fix.

But just by improving his form, he is able to run faster.

My son is determined to get faster in the short distance during the summer vacation and surprise everyone at school.

I want to train with him and support him to become faster.

He has had heat stroke many times, so I will be careful not to collapse

   Maltese Puppy
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I have a 4 year old male Maltese.
I love him very much, but unfortunately, he is obedient only to my wife and almost never to me and the kids.
He seems to have been ranked lower than me.
In order to improve our relationship, I looked up discipline on the Internet and found an article about walking.
According to the article…

・It’s a good idea to make eye contact with your dog while walking.
・Don’t walk while your dog is pulling you! Practice walking side by side!

When I took my dog for walks, he would pull on the leash and I would rarely make eye contact with him during the walk….

“It seems that if you walk with your dog dragging you, there is a risk of your dog picking up food, so in the future, I will try to walk side-by-side with my dog and communicate with him with my eyes to build a better relationship between us.”

   The First Olympics I Watched
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The first Olympics I ever saw in my life was
Barcelona, Spain Olympics in 1992.

I was 10 years old at the time.
The year before that, I started to love baseball.
For the first time in my life, my father and I were glued to the TV all night to watch the Taiwanese team play baseball.

The time difference between Barcelona and Taiwan was seven hours, and every time the Taiwanese team won a game, firecrackers went off in celebration, even though it was midnight.


In the final game, they lost to Cuba by a huge margin.
Although we missed the gold medal, I will never forget the silver medal won by Taiwanese baseball.

   From the Land of the North
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

For some reason, since the death of actor Kunie Tanaka in March of 2021, I have had an urge to watch the TV drama From the North” from the beginning.

As a serial drama, a total of 24 episodes were aired from October 1981 to March 1982.
After that, eight special dramas were aired.

In 1981, I was seven years old.
When I watched the drama, I was easily drawn in because I could somehow feel how the world and adults were when I was a child.
I watch it alone in the early morning on my days off before my family wakes up.
Lately, I seem to have become tearful, and every week I watch it in the morning, crying or sobbing, my emotions jumbled up.

However, I feel that watching “Kita no Kuni Kara” every week and shedding tears with all my might refreshes me and helps me to regulate myself.

The only problem I’ve been having lately is that I’ve been renting the last three special dramas (Part 2 of 1998 Era, Part 1 of 2002 Testament, and Part 2 of 2002 Testament) for the past two weeks.

I’m sure the people who are renting them are feeling the same way I am.

I’ve been telling my family and colleagues about the greatness of Kita no Kuni Kara, but I can’t seem to get them to accept it at all.

   Korean Style Boom
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I have been a K-POP fan for a long time.
If you look at Instagram, etc., you’ll see that the Hallyu wave is here to stay.
Korean cosmetics, clothing brands, dramas, movies, and even food.
I think it has become a fashion category rather than a “Korean 00” category.

The other day, I had a thought that the wave of Hallyu has come this far! The other day, I had an experience that made me think, “Has the Korean wave come this far?

When I was out with my friends, I often took Purikura photos, and the model I took was a model with a Korean wave theme.
(The machine was made by a Japanese company.

The screen is in Korean (with Japanese subtitles, of course), and the stamps are handwritten in cute Korean characters, such as “사랑해 (I love you)” and “친구 (my friend)”.
Nowadays, Purikura automatically applies full make-up in the style of K-POP idols.
(Shiny water-light skin, parallel eyebrows that are not too thick, chubby red lips…) etc.)
In addition, background music is played during the shooting and doodling, and it’s current K-pop music that gets you into the groove.

I thought it was proof that K-POP is taking over the world.

By the way, Purikura nowadays has a special stand where you can put your cell phone in the photo booth.
It’s not just a place to put your luggage.
The purpose of this is to record the video of you taking the picture, like a fixed-point camera.
You can then process the video into something cute, add background music, and post it on social media saying, “I took a picture with XX-chan. It’s called “pre-movie.


I got hooked on K-POP when I was a teenager during the second Hallyu boom about 10 years ago.
I can’t keep up with today’s teenagers.

   Ghost Catch
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The other day, my wife went looking for a game that she and her niece could play together, and she bought an interesting game.

The title and design of the game is very cute.

It’s called “Haunted Catch.”


Nintendo’s switch is selling well because of this Corona disaster.

The game software is the same, but the rules of the games that are popular with everyone are very simple.

But that doesn’t mean they’re easy.

There are many games that require a lot of strength that you don’t normally use.


This game is one of those games.

It’s a game played by several people, where you turn over the cards and guess which one matches the color and pattern on the card.

White ghost
Gray mouse
Red chair
Green bottle
Blue book

You have to instantly guess the same thing as this, but of course the cards you turn to are different colors or do not have the same picture.

It is very difficult to distinguish the color and the pattern in an instant.

At first, I was playing the game with my brother, who was used to playing the game, taking care of me.

If I tried to take the wrong one

“No, it’s not!”

If I tried to take the wrong one, he would say, No, you’re not!


It’s a game that trains your ability to make split-second decisions, so if you’re interested in it, please do.
