"PEGI ratings 'need improvement"

At the first...Do U know "PEGI"???


PEGI means The Pan European Game Information.
This is the system which opens the game information to the public in the Europe.
Games are classified in some symbols by ministry of UK media sports.
but thing like this is done in japan.
For example, Japanese game industry put a limit on violence games.

After I read this article and examined about "PEGI" system, I think it is good system.
Especially it's good for childrens parents.
Parents need to know what game their children play.
Recently case of murder have happened by young person.
I think one of cause is violence video games.
I wish more strict system is introduced into Japanese game industory!!!!!

"Drinking the Japanese way"

I looked for the article that is writen about a interesting Fair which is held in Japan.

The Nihon-shu Fair was held at Tokyo on June 17.
Many viisitors, loves SAKE, came here.
In this Fair, many breweries who came from 45 prefecture bring their own products( is called ginjoshu) and visitors can taste it.
Actually, this fair has been held to the public since 2007.
Only experts could take part in this Fair, at one time.


I hope many people,not only Japanese but also foreigner, take part in this Fair!!
I thnk it is good way to be realized Japanese orioginal industry.

" Lay judge system starts in Japan amid fears over burden on citizens"

Lay Judge System was introduced into the criminal trial.
But I think it is not good system in Japan.
There are two reasons.

First of all, Japanese are easily swayed by the opinions others.
so I think probability of guilt dosen't change.

Second is goverment obliges citizen to participate in trial, if you were chosen.
and if you participated in trial, you can get a button.

Trial is dealt in game.
Citizen dosen't participate in trial to get a button.

I think this system is abolished some day in the future.
