Journal October 10th- Gambling in Japan -Is... View this post on Instagram Journal October 10th - Gambling in Japan - Is it not admitted any gambling in Japan? The answer is Yes? In Japan, there are some gambling are admitted legally, motorcycle racing, bicycle racing, horse racing, boat racing, lottery, sport promote lottery. But how about pachinko parlour and slot machine? To be exact, both are illegal. Then, why a lot of these entertainment facilities are in Japan? That reasons are little complicated. Pachinko use “三店方式-the way to avoid laws” that is gray area. I’m so sorry it is too difficult to explain that in English for me. - Japan extends deadline for casino host city bids to April 2022 - Japanese governments plan to build some resorts of casino. More and more tourist from oversea will come to Japan due to these resorts. They will stimulate Japanese economy and create new jobs, but there are some problems to be solved. First, it will be fear the number of crime will increase. Second, many people will be addiction of gambling and they will lose their money. Furthermore, beautiful Japanese view and scenery will be decrease due to these resorts. Are these things better for Japan? My opinion, I think casino resorts are worse for Japan. How about your country what do you think about gambling. Plz tell me yr opinions. #journal #English #Japanese #casino #resort #ganmbling A post shared by Shingo Kai (甲斐 慎吾) (@skybox_english) on Oct 9, 2020 at 9:44pm PDT

View this post on Instagram Journal October 4th - American drama series - I have been hooked on American drama series lately that title is “Orange Is The New Black”. By the way, I try to watch that in english and english cubtitles. This drama is described about a life of women prisoner. Piper Chapman who is a main character in the drama. This story is based on her experience in a prison. The meaning of title “Orange Is The New Black” that “the new black” means “trend” like new fashion. So, “orange it the new black” means “orange is the trend color” and in the story, new prisoners are ware the clothes of Orange. The themes of this drama are Whole worlds Social Problems like “racism” “asians” “black people” “white people” “Hispanic” “LGBTQ” “gun society” “drugs” “sex” and “religion” I have watched fifth season now from all seven seasons. In the fifth season, the prisoners begin riot against the incident that guards killed a black people prisoner. It is very interesting story. If you watch this series you can learn about the problems of United States. You csn see it on NETFLIX. #journal #English #japanese #american #drama #series #orangeisthenewblack #OITNB #prison #black #white #asian #LGBTQ #hispanic #drug #religion #sex A post shared by Shingo Kai (甲斐 慎吾) (@skybox_english) on Oct 3, 2020 at 9:44pm PDT

View this post on Instagram Journal October 3rd - What we should consider about seriously now - I think it is about time to consider what should we do and what can we do. In Japan, roughly more than 1,500 ave people per every month have been die due to the suicide. Especially this august had been attacked by covid-19, that’s number are more than 1,800 people that increased 200 compared with last august. On the other hands, the number of death covid-19 are roughly 1,500 people so far.

You might become afraid of future. You might think nobody cares even if only your light in the seven billion lights run out. But you are not alone. someone can stay by your side. Someone need you. Someone can help you. Don’t be afraid of asking someone to help something. Don’t be shame of showing someone your own mind. At least for me, I wanted to see your smile more yet. Many people think so too. Rest In Peace.

View this post on Instagram Journal September 26th - Do you wish that you never have hopes and dreams and no good future? - You know all people don’t think that it is best. Olympic was the symbol that dreams, hopes, future and peace. But the pandemic hit whole world. we were going to hold Tokyo Olympic 2020 but it was postponed to 2021. Further, we don’t know whether we can hold olympic safely or cannot. And we don’t know we should do that or not too. But I want Japan to hold olympic and I think Japan can make olympic successful even if fewer tickets and savings on banners, mascots and fireworks are among more than 50 cost-cutting measures. I believe that this Tokyo Olympic will be the hopes of all of the world for coming over the pandemic. WE HAVE A STRONG DESIRE FOR DREAMS, HOPES, AND BRIGHT FUTURE. #journal #English #japanese #hope #dream #future #bright #olympic #covid19 #pandemic A post shared by Shingo Kai (甲斐 慎吾) (@skybox_english) on Sep 25, 2020 at 8:46pm PDT
