昨日、都知事選の投開票が行われ、新知事が決まった。
Yesterday, vote casting and counting for the Tokyo gubernatorial election was held, and the new governor was decided.

選挙前の予想通り、舛添要一・元厚生労働相（６５）が、他の有力三候補、宇都宮健二・前日本弁護士連合会会長（６７）、細川護煕元首相（７６）、田母神俊雄・元航空幕僚長（６５）、らに圧倒的多数の差を付けて、選挙戦を制した。
As was anticipated, former health minister Yoichi Masuzoe, 65, won the election by a landslide, defeating three major candidates, former Japan Federation of Bar Associations President Kenji Utsunomiya, 67, former Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa, 76, and former Air Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff Toshio Tamogami, 65.

勝利した舛添氏には、２０２０年の東京五輪・パラリンピック開催に向けての準備、原発依存への対応、政治資金不正受給で辞任した猪瀬直樹前知事（６７）により傷つけられた東京都の信用回復など、多くの難問が待ち受けている。
Many difficult issues such as preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, response to nuclear power dependence, and restoring the reputation of the capital damaged by former Governor Naoki Inose, 67, who stepped down over money scandal lies ahead for Masuzoe.

同氏は、１２日に初登庁を行い、都知事として初の記者会見に臨む。

So check these out guys.XD




Transcription

Brad Davis: That was . . . it was tough.  We knew that they will come after us.  Pressure . . . there will be going to be a team that never gives up.  I think they showed that.  But I think we showed some good patience, we showed some good build ups, and we defended like I said we defended as a group.  Everybody was very unselfish and working getting behind the ball and that's what you need to come out victorious.  That's one of the things that we talked about for the game.  Coming into these camps is always been going about 4 weeks together, so we knew it wasn't going to be always pretty.  But one thing we already knew was we were going to work for each other.

Nick Rimando: We wanted to go after them.  We knew that we had couple games that were underneath their bout.  But we were confident out there.  We wanted to move the ball, we wanted to bring the energy to the game, and just being back there seeing there where the guys moving the ball.  One that Wondoloswski scored and just moving from the players upfront--it was fantastic!

Graham Zushi: I thought we did a fantastic job.  As starting the game off on a high note, got that early goal, and put the work in--just a great result.

Chris Wondolwski: Yeah absolutely!  It's always a great feeling especially if you get that win.  Just kind of cap off this whole January camp, I think it has been a special group, and we enjoyed it.  And again, just kind of reward for all the hard work.

Nick Rimando: I think everybody contributed in that clean sheet today.  I thought that the back line was fantastic.  I thought we moved the ball well, between our back four and midfield.  But it feels good because this is another opportunity to show Jürgen [Klinsmann] what we could do.  And I think all of us were in here for a reason.  And to come out here with victory 2-0 is a good showing for sure!

Brad Davis: These 4 weeks have been tough, and everybody has really worked hard to come in here and really put the effort in . . . you always want to walk away with the win.  We had a great year last year with the 100-year in a U.S. soccer--obviously qualified for the World Cup.  We have 5 months little till the World Cup.  Everyone started this year off in a right note as well, and I think guys had the right mentality.  We fought for each other out there, and think it was a great result for us for all.  So we are all going home happy.

世界初のキットカット専門店（The World's First KitKat Shop）！！

もうすぐバレンタイン・デーということで、今回のブログネタは「チョコ」にしました！！
St. Valentine's Day is close, so I chose "chocolate" as my blog topic this time!!

今月の１７日に西武池袋にオープンした「キットカット　ショコラトリー」にこの前行って来ました。
I went to "KitKat Chocolatory," opened on January 17 at the Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro Tokyo, this month.

店舗自体は小さいながらも、「世界初のキットカット専門店」ということもあり、大勢の人で賑わっていました。
The chocolatier is small, but as the store is "The World's First KitKat Chocolate speciality shop," dozens of people were in line.

残念ながら在庫は「スペシャルチリ」しかありませんでした。二箱だけ買って店をあとにしました。
Unfortunately, there weren't enough chocolates left when I arrived, so I only bought two boxes of "Special Chilli" flavor chocolate and left the place.

食べてみましたが、味はコンビニで普通に打っているキットカットとなんら変わらなかったです（；０；）
I ate it but it was nothing different from the KitKat sold at a convenience store.（；Ｏ；）

口の中でかすかに唐辛子の味が広がるけど、中身はまんま普通のキットカットです。
When I took a bite of it, pepper spread moderately in my mouth.
 But this wafer sweets tasted exactly the ones I know.

詳細情報は末尾に挙げておきますので、そちらにも目を通してくださいね。ＸＤ
I listed more details in the end, so please take a look at them as well.XD
