living in a net cafe

Do you know the Three degrees? Do you know they sang "When will I see you again" in Japanese and it became a big hit in the 70s? Wow, their Japanese was pretty good.

Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare released "a field survey of people who have no house and a precarious job condition." In this case, it means people who stay in an Internet cafe or manga cafe and have unstable part-time jobs. I wrote about a guy who lived at a manga cafe. I thought it might be a rare case, however it seems a kind of social problem now. The reason why people stay in such cafes is "to use the Internet"(52.8%), "miss the last train to home"(27.8%), and then 7.8% replied "I have no home." The survey supposed 5400 people (the 20s and the 50s are majorities) will stay at cafes continuously and have no home. Here is a Japanese article. Well, I don't think there are only 5400, maybe more, because there is no way to figure out the number of those people. Do they give up family and friends? Do they choose it or do they have no choice? This is getting to be a bigger issue.

I was looking forward to using a new cockroach weapon "Hyosatsu". Of course, there are many crazy uses like this (iced pudding is delicious, they say) and this (wow, is it okay?), however it works fine. BUT! The company took action by launching a self-imposed product recall of Hyosatsu, because some used it to damp a fire, however the spray has flammable gas and some had fire trouble. Here is a good sample video. those guy had a fight: "Hyosatsu" vs "Fire Gas." Hmm, I hope I can try Hyosatsu next summer.

I love the IT technology, my dad got me my first pc for my birthday and ever since I became a big IT freak. I started internet marketing for the last four months and still looking for material that can help my marketing.

Hi! I want to hear the 3 Degrees song. I've heard "New Order" singing a song in Japanese, and "The Police" sang a song in Japanese in the 80s. Do you know any other Western singers who sang in Japanese?

Wow, Three Degrees are REALLY good, thanks for finding. Did other artists sing in Japanese back then too? Maybe it was a great way to catch Japanese fans.

KOWAII (@o@) Mari-san, are there really centipedes (mukade, gejigeji?) THAT big in Tokyo?? Is their venom dangerous to people?? Roaches are gross, but that mukada is horrifying!! I would faint if I ever saw one of those in my house (#-#)
