- Private Didi Mobile Japan Experience
  Column for the first time in 2 yearsJust two years ago in October, "Why DIDI Mobility Japan?" It's been 2 years since I was allowed to write a column. Since accepting the outsourcing of DIDI Mobility Japan from October 1, 2018, I have personally experienced an exciting and extraordinary experience that I have never experienced before. It was a valuable experience for me to meet taxi companies nationwide in the role of a door opener, even though I was a pensioner at the age of 68. Of course, from the beginning, DIDI Mobility Japan, which is a ride share and a foreign capital, has a strong influence, and I was treated as a "traitor", but fortunately I was gradually recognized as a supporting member in all taxi associations. Citizenship came to be obtained. In any case, at the end of September, I ended the business consignment contract with DIDI Mobility Japan, but I asked him to work as a member of DIDI Mobility Japan and adopt the services of DIDI Mobility Japan. I have come to think that the I have a responsibility to taxi companies to explain my own generalization. When I asked President Takahashi of Taxi Nippon Shimbun to resume the column in "Taxi Japan Magazine", he said that it would be good that my relationship with DIDI was over. Of course, the generalization and evaluation of DIDI Mobility Japan itself is not my role, but just one individual, "Why was DIDI Mobility Japan?" And why was it for me as a result? I will write it as long as it does not touch the non-disclosure agreement.Why Didi Mobility Japan?In the column on this theme I wrote two years ago, I wrote as follows."For Kiyono, this judgment is not so much about Didi, but rather the" ambition "that SoftBank itself or Masayoshi Son has cultivated over the past 37 years of history, and the management philosophy, awareness of the times, and sympathy for the strategy as its realization. by. ""Looking 300 years into the future in 2010, we will make people happy through the information revolution." The concept of "group management" to realize it, especially the imminent "singularity" (all artificial intelligence) I was amazed at the idea of being a platformer for the information revolution (the mobile revolution as part of it) in preparation for the time when it exceeds the intelligence of humankind. "Furthermore, we are steadily laying the groundwork as a platformer in the era of IOT, big data, and AI, such as the establishment of Toyota and Monet Technology, and we have a broad view of the future and the world, and steadily. I couldn't help but be surprised at the rugged stones. ""I interpret it arbitrarily, and such IOT, big data, and AI-powered platforms are the structurally low productivity of the mobile industry, including taxis, and the resulting long, low crew. I believed that it was a way to improve and reform low wages and low social status.While saying that I wants to help "reform the taxi business model" = "creation of a comprehensive living mobile industry", I have not been able to do anything yet, so I decided to help create a platform for this new mobile industry. I felt that I should use the remaining life, and decided that I should help spread Didi Mobility Japan, which was the beginning of that.Picture sky (sweat)My one-sided thoughts and expectations have ended in pipe dream at least at this point in time. .In particular, I thought that the spread of taxi dispatch apps was essential in Japan's last mile mobile industry, but even if the ride dispatch apps of each company are combined, it is said that it is currently about 4% of the number of taxi operations. In Moscow, 80% of sales, mainly Yandex, are ride-hailing apps, and in Beijing, it is said to exceed 70%. Unfortunately, in Japan, the sinks are substantial and the taxi service level is high, so the incentive to popularize the ride-hailing app is low. The promotion measures by issuing coupons are not decisive, and their spread is realized by platformers who are willing to take the risk of subscriptions, and it is physically and temperamentally that Softbank, that is, DIDI Mobility, has that spirit. I expected Japan. But the reality wasn't that sweet (sweat)In fact, the platformer responsible for the last mile is not the ride-hailing app itself!Despite this, the lesson I learned in the last two years is that the GAFA-like platform may not have an advantage in the last mile mobile industry. The last mile mobile industry, including taxis, is a local industry that is neither national nor global, nor is it a virtual world that is complete in the internet world, but a real industry that involves the movement of physical people. In this area, there is no national advantage, and on the contrary, it tends to fall into inefficient overinvestment, which may affect the sustainability of profits. Rather, a region-specific platformer that has the ability to network stakeholders such as users, suppliers, and governments of regional mobility services in the reality of the region and coordinate the optimal environment for the region, and the coordinator who organizes it. Needed. Of course, the important weapons and technologies that promote it are the universal know-how of IOT, big data, and AI, including financial power, and DX (digital transformation), which is a hot topic now. Recently, the Minister of State for IT Hirai, who promotes the Digital Agency, was asked by a reporter if Japan could produce GAFA, and he had no intention of producing GAFA from his nose. He said that he would promote DX conversion and compete. Also, in the book "Shin Nihon" by Yahoo CSO Kazuto Ataka, Japan, which was completely defeated in the world of global and virtual digitization, was just defeated by the Meiji Restoration in modern Western technology. In the second and third waves of digitization, Japan's peculiar "delusional power" was used to "exit industry", just as Japan achieved rapid development in the area where it is good at while incorporating culture. We are calling for the realization of DX at an overwhelming speed.What is needed for a regional optimal mobile industry platformerIt is not essential to be national. However, in order for the mobile industry as a local business to survive, it is necessary to have at least a mechanism to improve productivity per hour. For that purpose, it is necessary to create a technique for improving the actual vehicle time rate and the actual working time rate of the vehicle. In addition, we must have the network power and coordination power to link users, businesses, and governments to realize the above. And I think it's better to first create a success story in a specific area that can be a best practice, and then challenge the attempt to nationalize. Anyway, I would like to try realistic trial and error without relying on vehicle dispatch application companies like Uber ,DiDi , even if we use them, so that it will not be pipe dream(October 19, 2020)パネル

- Why DiDi Mobility Japan?
  Beijing Was Unexpectedly Sunny !On October 20th, I will have to visit Beijing in 3 to 4days. Actually, it was supposed to be three days and two nights from 21st of October, so happened that my second son who is doing business also in China for quite some years was unable to take his flight. It was his first time in Beijing. Way back in 2001, he has visited Shanghai, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, China more than 10 times. In relation to this particular year in 2001, it was the same year when 9/11 terrorists attacks in New York happened while on the other side of the world, particularly in China, this was the time where it joined World Trade Organization (WTO). The reforms and opening policy initiated by the Deng Xiaoping government resulted to promotion of capitalism economically. The Chinese form of socialist market economy was well-developed surpassing Japan’s GDP in 2010 and now, it causes trade war with United States. China’s manufacturing industries still showcase the world’s famous brands. Subcontracting status remains stable as well. In the field of IT, huge IT companies such as BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) are growing though it faced drops in 2012. As of June 2018, droplet output has been growing rapidly as a so- called unicorn company (an unlisted venture company with market capitalization exceeding 1 billion dollars) that exceeds 56 billion dollars. The sudden arrival to Beijing this time was for the visit to the headquarters of this well- performing droplet.A High-Tech Office in American Style?Zhongguancun which is known also as “Silicon Valley in Beijing” is where the taxi company responsible for the service of SOFTBANK located. The consensus started in Osaka in September 29 wherein the joint venture company known DiDi Mobility Japan has also being established. Unfortunately, I have never been to Silicon Valley. An office where Google and Apple’s work and play will associate with this image of China in our head. Both Peking University and Tsinghua University which are considered as one of the world’s best are located in this area. China’s Silicon Valley showcasing style and innovative culture of China and newly tailored atmosphere of university town. There are plenty of things to think about such as the possibility of collapses of China’s bubble, political constrictions, environmental conditions such as PM 2.5 and food pollution in China. With all of these things to consider, I realized that the reality underlying on 6 thousand companies that are starting up, is also “bad’ in reverse sense. Even if it did, it was unexpectedly visible for the past few days.The sun was calm and easy to spend. We were informed because “it’s a good luck for you!Why DiDi Mobility Japan…?I will assist DiDi Mobility Japan’s business starting October 1. Of course, not as an employee but as a business consignment. It’s more of giving assistance to the extent that can I do. I find no hesitation in the main body of ORIGIN. There was no managerial responsibility left. System ORIGIN partly handles that of DNE. I would like to help DiDi Mobility Japan as an individual person irrespective of the intention of the origin body. For Kiyono, this decision is not based on the droplets positive growth; rather it is based on “soul” cultivated in SOFTBANK’s body in its 37 –year history by Mr. Sun Gyu giving consideration to management’s philosophy and its core realization, age recognition , strategy and empathy. I bought almost 10 books about SOFTBANK, mostly written by Mr. Masayoshi Son. As soon as I got the books, I read them right away. Despite being aware of Son’s story almost at the same time, having lived in the same era, I was keenly aware that no one was able to understand Softbank’s Masayoshi Son. Various anecdotes such as the hard life while residing in Tosu in Saga prefecture, the arrival to United States for high school year etc., are popularly known by many but for me, what’s notably striking is when it tried NTT that had a cumulative loss of 300 billion yen in the third consecutive loss deficit. While launching the YSHOOBB’s ADSL business that made survived, he purchased a falling Vodafone with a deficit in excess of the length of ourselves and started up what today’s SOFTBANK (Mobile) while making the best use of his connections with Steve Job. In 2010, with his futuristic estimate in about 300 years to come, his management group’s initiative is directed to its philosophy “ Happiness for everyone thru Information revolution”. “Singularity” particularly speaking, is approaching the immediate vicinity whereas artificial intelligence is all- in order to prepare for the human intelligence. It has been overwhelmed by the idea of a platformer for the information revolution worldwide (the movement revolution as a part of it). In fact, in the era of IOT , we acquired ARM’s; the designer of all underlying chips, for 3.3 trillion yen. Also invested in ride-sharing company that commonly becoming the base of global movement (Uber,Grab, Ola of India etc.). Don’t set aside as well the investments on automatic operation, robot enterprises, establishment of Toyota and Monet Inc., as a platformer in the era of IOT, big data, AI, I could not afford to forbid the surprises of its steady striking future, its breadth of vision to the world and steady pace.DiDi Mobility Japan is not just a dispatch application for Chinese tourists. It is actually part of the platform that coordinates all movements, a step toward so-called MAAS (Mobility as a Service). I interpret it without permission. The platform that made use of such IOT , big data, AI is the low structural productivity of the mobile industry including taxi that resulted to long waiting time of the crew. It is believed that it is the way to improve and reform low wages and social status.While saying that he wishes to help achieved “reformed taxi business model”= “creation of integrated living mobile industry”, though I am not doing anything as of now, I’m trying to help build this new mobile industry platform. I’m motivated to use the remaining lifespan to support DiDi Mobility Japan’s influences at its initial pace.This is just my hypothesis. There are too many things to do now in the real taxi industry to achieve such level in form. There are too many crew members and managers. Managers and users are working the field. Even it may sound like a picture sketch; I believed that the possibility of ending with sketch is never low. Considering the current smartphones created by Apple’s Job in 2007, in the past decade, it has become the world’s culture and consciousness. Consider also the reality that has changed lifestyles habits, it is not in vain to think of skills backed-up by technology, and the taxi industry in Japan which has hardly changed over the last 100 years, never runs out at the cutting edge of the movement revolution. It seems to be impossible. What are we going to protect and what are we going to produce? There is no future in trying to preserve the interests of the family finally to decorate the last words. I will discard myself “to make people happy by information revolution, mobility revolution”. There is a future in this thought and real practice!(OCTOBER 25, 2018)

  Team NEXT　Seminar camp in MoscowIt seems to say that whenever I experience a team seminar camp this time as "one hundred words are in one case". Actually, that feeling is strong, and we have strong thoughts on seminar camps abroad. When it comes to saying overseas, it takes a long period of time and costs, so participation by all members of Team Next has been limited, and it is a heartbreaking thought, but as a result, as a result "aspire looks like a glance at first glance" I strongly feel that I was glad I did it.Particularly, this time Moscow is a foreign country with no opportunity to go easily, the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequent confusion, and economic sanctions on the West side that originated from Ukraine's problem to the current Putin administration, it is quite difficult to go sightseeing etc. It is a difficult country.It happened to be held FIFA World Cup, a plan to welcome football spectators from all over the world, to use the experience and lessons to prepare for the Tokyo Olympic Games, a bluish arrow in Moscow. Although not praising the crowd, with the efforts of Taxi Assisted Managing Director Noda serving as the administrative office of Team Next, Moscow City Tourist Board, Presentation of Transportation Bureau, Moscow operating search software and a taxi distribution system for smart cars "Yandex "And visiting and interacting with" FusionAuto "which is one of consulting companies that took part in the Russian World Cup's land transportation department this time. At the University of Moscow, I got an opportunity to present excellent taxi operators at Moscow a University thanks to a specialized associate professor at Nagaoka University of Technology, Mr. Kaichiro Hatoyama who contributed to solve traffic congestion in Moscow city. Also Professor Hatoyama got its participation.For taxi operators who participate, I heard that there was something that could be obtained from each position. I myself can say scales about the taxi situation in Moscow city, the situation of smart car delivery, sometimes I got some hints. I would like to write the impression of Moscow that I visited for the first time before mentioning it.Moscow is a beautiful cityWhat kind of city do you imagine when you hear with Moscow? It is the capital city since the Emperor Russia, and the Kremlin Palace, a cold and dark city in the north. It was such a prejudice of myself. That's why "seeing is believing in ". It certainly depends on the weather but the impression that Moscow is beautiful and bright is strong. High-rise buildings are rare except for some not-so-large new city centers. There are seven wonderful Stalin Gothic buildings of thirty story floors, including Moscow University in order for Stalin to show the prosperity of the Soviet empire. However, the buildings along the roads are 7 and 8 stories long and are calm buildings of European style. And as inbound customers say that the impression of Japanese cities is not garbage, buildings and roads are beautiful and so-called slum-like areas can not be found for the time being (although it seems to exist still when looking at the net ...) . It seems that Moscow City tried to improve and beautify the town by using a big budget, especially at the World Cup this time! Speaking of Moscow, it is reminiscent of the Kremlin Palace and the red square in front of it, but the Zariyajie Park opened last September is wonderful! Constructed between the Kremlin and the Moscow River, this park is far away from the traditional Russian image and features a boomerang-shaped bridge like a concert hall, an ice cave and a floating over the Moscow River. The time magazine world It has been chosen as one of the best sights! It might be an area symbolizing the newborn Russia!Moscow citizen's lifeAccording to the guide who showed us the first day sightseeing, Moscow citizens' income seems to be 100,000 yen a month, prices are not so different from Moscow at least with Japan, so I think it is quite painful, but it's unexpected that kind of feeling I do not receive. The reason for this is that when the residence changes to the Russian state-owned residence of the Soviet era, it is paid free of charge and does not incur housing cost. It is said that it is unexpectedly wealthy that he will recover to less than 2,000 yen even if he / she uses plenty of utility bills and other expenses. For that reason people 's lives who do not have houses coming from rural areas are suffering and the difference between rich and poor seems to spread.Taxi situation in MoscowThe taxi after the collapse of the Soviet Union seems to have been the so-called white Taxi. Even a private car in the middle of commuting instead of the image of the ride shop being told, it seems that we stopped the car, negotiated the price and put it on as the hands rose. It seems that the user had a very inconvenient feeling. In 2011, the regulation of the qualification for the taxi crew finally was decided by the Russian Federation law, registration of the crew to the administrative authority, sticker certifying the company color, number, taxi of the vehicle, installation of the meter machine, etc. were obliged. Naturally white Taxiwas illegalized, but it seems that it did not go before the complete elimination. From around 2014, a dispatch system by smartphone began, exactly like Yahoo in Japan like Yahoo search engines like Yan Dex, showed in advance the position of the vehicle, earlier in the fare, settlement, further low fare presentation etc. Overwhelming Not only did it eradicate the white taxiunder the support of the user to the user, it wiped away the crusing taxifrom even Moscow which is a large city of 12 million people! In other words, everyone began asking for a taxi with a smartphone, the proportion reached 80%, the rest became an order by phone. There is no regulation of freight in Moscow, price can be set arbitrarily, price drop due to competition of smart car carrier company is intense. Things that the fare is cheap third in the world. Meanwhile, the demand increased and the users increased to 17 times before regulation. In Japan, taxis are mainly cruisingin urban areas such as Tokyo, and customers who ask for it by smartphone are few. Take a taxi frequently when you go out on the street, and it costs an entrance fee as well. For users in urban areas, we do not feel the benefit of dispatching smart cars. Also, most taxi operators are involved as alibis as a name to counter ride sharing. As for the mechanism of this smart car allocation it seems that you need apologies from a completely different dimension! That is, in order to solve the current taxi business, the inherent low productivity of the model, and the crew shortage caused by it, the user's smartphone and the device of the vehicle are connected to the cloud and the demand forecast , Also to arouse demand, to realize regional optimal efficiency matching! To put it briefly, it is to make the actual car hour rate and the actual occupancy rate as close as possible to 100%! For this reason, it is necessary to promote order acceptance by smartphone, user convenience is only a part of it! So what should we do to promote smart car allocation as Moscow? The hint is in the realization of "All-you-can-eat monthly ride" which is one of 11 measures of all Japan Taxi Asociation, and I think that it is in the appearance of a platformer that takes risk (September 25, 2018)

  Team Next Seminar Camp in MoscowThe experience I get from this seminar camp of Team Next seems like “a hundred words in a single thought”. The excitement is strong. Actually, we are looking forward of the best things we can get from this seminar abroad. Participating seminar abroad requires long time of preparations and monetary cost thus; selection of members participating is limited. It is overwhelming in terms of expenses yet, I’m very glad I did it. The aspirations we have as a team are somewhat of good shining foundation for betterment of our organization.This time, we went in Moscow, a country by which the opportunity to enter is not that easy. The subsequent confusion, the collapse of Soviet Union and sanctions from the West side due to Ukraine’s problem under Putin’s administration resulted to some little difficulties for people like us to go sightseeing and other things. It’s hard to deal with some things in Moscow.The recent hosting of Russia in FIFA World Cup participated by football spectators all over the world will pave the way to suitable applications needed for the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games. Not to the point of lifting up these people or organization from the crowd, their efforts must still be recognized. Let me mention Taxi Assist Managing Director Noda who is also the head of administrative office of Team Next, the Moscow City Tourist Board, the presence of Transportation Bureau, Moscow Operating Search Software and Taxi Distribution System for smart cars “Yandex” . Not to forget also the visit and interaction with Fusion Auto; one of the consulting companies that took part in Russia’s World Cup land transportation department. As we head to University of Moscow, I got an opportunity to present excellent taxi operators at Moscow University. Thanks to a specialized associate professor at Nagaoka University of Technology, Mr. Katoichiro Hatoyama who contributed to solve traffic congestion in Moscow city. He also participated in our meeting.For taxi operators who participate, I heard that there was something that could be obtained from each position. I myself can estimate the scale of the taxi situation in Moscow city and the situation of smart car deliveries. I got some hints but before mentioning it, let me write first the impression of Moscow that I visited for the first time.Moscow Is a Beautiful CityWhat kind of city do you imagine when you hear about Moscow? It is the capital city since the ruling of Russia’s emperors and Kremlin Palace, a cold and dark city in the north. Those are my personal views about Russia. For me, to see is to believe. It certainly depends on the weather but the impression that Moscow is beautiful and bright is strong. High rise buildings are rare except for some newly- developed city centers. There are seven wonderful Stalin gothic buildings that have thirty storey- floors and don’t forget to include here University of Moscow! Stalin proved to people how prosperous the Soviet Empire is. On the other hand, buildings along the road have 7 or 8 stories, with European style and they looked very quiet. And as what inbound customers say that the impression of Japanese cities is not garbage, building and roads are beautiful and the slum-like areas are no-where to see for the moment (although it seems to exist when surfing on the net). It seems Moscow city tried to improve and beautify the town by using big budget, take a look at World Cup this time! Speaking of Moscow, it is remiscent of the Kremlin Palace and the Red Square in front of it. The Zaryadye Park that opened last September is wonderful! Constructed between the Kremlin and the Moscow River, this park is far from traditional Russian image. It features a boomerang-shaped bridge like with the concert hall, an ice cave and a floating bridge over the Moscow River. The Time Magazine chose it as one of the best sights! It might be an area symbolizing the newborn Russia!Moscow Citizen’s LifeAccording to the tour guide who accompanied us on the first day for the sightseeing, Muscow citizen'sincome seems to be 100,000 yen per month. Prices in Moscow are not so different in Japan. I realized how hard it is to live well in Russia. I didn’t expect that. The reason for this is that, when the residence becomes Russian estate owned residences, it is free of charge and does not incur housing cost. It is said that it is unexpectedly wealthy that he will recover to less than 2,000 yen even if he/she uses plenty of utilities and expenses. For that reason, people who do not have houses in the city do suffer. Most of them come from rural area. The gap between the haves and have-nots is still big.Taxi Situation in MoscowThetaxi industry after the Soviet Union had collapsed has been tagged as white Taxi. A private car once called for a stop and the being offered for a fee by the riding customer brings inconvenient feeling for the user or the customer. In 2011, the Russian Federation law implemented the regulations of qualifications for taxi crews, crew registration to the administrative authority, certified stickers for each taxi company, plate number, installation of taxi meters and other things. Obviously, white Taxiwas illegal but it seems it did not vanish completely. From 2014, a dispatch system by smartphone began same way how Yahoo works. In Japan, search engines like Yan Dex has the capability to show in advance the vehicles position, calculated fare, settlement, low fare presentation etc. Overwhelming not only did it eradicate the white taxiunder the support of user to user, it wiped away the sink from Moscow which is a large city inhabited by 12 million people! In other words, everyone began asking for a taxi using smartphone. The proportion reached 80% while the rest have been done through phone. There is no regulation of freight in Moscow. Price can be set arbitrarily. Price drops due active competition of smart car carrier companies. The fare became 3rd cheaper in the world. Meanwhile, the demand increased and the users increased to 17 times before regulation. In Japan, taxis mainly sink in urban areas like Tokyo and customers who ask for it via smartphone are few. Take a taxi frequently when you go out on the street and it costs an entrance fee as well. For users in urban areas, we do not feel the benefit of dispatching smart cars. In addition, taxi operators are involved as alibis as a name to counter ride sharing. As for the mechanism of this smart car allocation, it seems that you need apologies from a completely different dimension! In order to solve the current issues in taxi industry, considerations on the following factors should not be ignore mainly; the low productivity of the model, crews’ shortage, users’ smartphone, vehicles device and demand forecasts. Also, to make the demand increases, there must be regional optimal efficiency matching! In short, the actual car hour rate and actual occupancy rate must be close to 100% as much as possible! For this reason, it is necessary to promote organized acceptance via smartphone, user’s convenience is just a part of it! So what should we do to promote smart car allocation same like in Moscow? The hint lies in the realization of “all-you-can-consumed-monthly ride” which is one of 11 measures of all Japn Taxi companyassociation, and I think that it is in the appearance of a platform that takes risk.

- WHAT DO YOU TELL YOURSELF IN 50 YEARS?
  Team Next Seminar Camp in Hakodate The 20th Team Next Seminar camp was conducted last July 9 and 10 of the current year. It was held at Hakodate’s Futura University with the theme entitled “Demand Traffic and Advance Tourism Taxi Visit”. The ultra- futuristic campus lecture on the real –time on-demand transport system developed by Future Share Co., Ltd was conducted and the next day was continued by Mr. Donan Higher’s 4 whom let us experienced the system through vehicle actual demonstration. This system makes use of latest AI system and also offers sightseeing. Team Next members use their respective smartphone to make a request for all allocation of actual vehicles and the designated drop off places. The AI will work on determination of optimum vehicles, dispatching and operation. I think that is very innovative and advanced in such a way that, it is not limited to taxis only but it can cater other means of transportation enabling the operators determine or foresee the optimum allocation and movement system in the entire area. However, it seems that it is struggling to launch the real system because cooperation and integration of travel means are not advanced yet in each region particularly speaking. On the contrary, the real score has something to do on the solution to the social and political barriers underlying. The report of this “Seminar Camp in Hakodate” will be posted on this month’s industry newspaper magazine issue as well as on the Team Next website, so please refer to it.Matsumoto Fukashi High School"Senior High School" Kindly excuse my minor and very personal story but let me share it to all of you. Actually I was given an opportunity to speak to my current alumni high school classmates here at Matsumoto Fukashi High School which was my alma mater as well. There came the idea of choosing any person that will give his/her “special class” about his/her career and special theme to the active people inside the room. If you do not do it, you will be doing a special class in a an empty classroom!(What should I do?...). Then I came to this idea. I mentioned that being at junior high school seemed to be a place of severe “trial”(?) and seniors experienced the same as well. There were 16 lectures by Tasaka Juku taken from his special lecture day by which I also mentioned in this column repeatedly last June 6. The theme was something to do with, “ What will you learn, your goals and how will you live in the era when educational society that lives as true elite collapses?”…I’m about to share my thoughts about the so-called social elite. What can I talk to my juniors in 50 years from now?... In other words, what can I share about myself who lives the life opposite of what the social elite can offer? Actually, it seems that the content from Tasaka Juku regarding special kind of peace has given me one direction to share to. Educational achievements are fine but, these alone do not guarantee success in life. Would it be acceptable if we just have growing aspirations at all times, whatever situation or circumstances we are in? I thought whether it would be better to talk about things based from my personal experiences in life or not.In addition, this Tasaka Juku is not completed simply by listening to the peace, but his own feeling of peace is essential. I’m struggling like a blanket of booths in the number of papers but I would like to quote the impression of President Tasaka on the subject about “Feeling”. There where I will get my to- be shared statements.16TH Lecture by Tasaka JukuI’m so grateful of the 16th lecture delivered by Tasaka Juku.It was a fantastic theme for me.In Matsumoto Fukashi High School which happens to be my alma mater, we are given a place (special lecture) ) to talk about something under the name "special class" to OB who is 50 years old as a high school student every year.It is a project to speak to an active high school student, as one speaks to himself 50 years later, one from each class at that time (1968 graduation).I was nominated. I told them that I happened to have a strange history from my class. I think that it is an honorable thing, but from now on (what special lecture is October 13th) I have something more to share that I am living for.Although it is a secondary level institution which is once an advanced school and considered as an elite school in the area, it is exactly related to the theme from 16th lecture, “ What one has to learn or aim when the era of academic society that lives as true elite collapses?..I wish I could tell everyone to live the same based on my personal life experiences, but of course I know it is quite difficult.“True elite” is a very narrow minded person but I cannot exclusively generalize it. I was college drop out in terms of academic background. I was considered just like a high school graduate. I was involved in some student’s movements. I have faced three arrests and two pre-convictions. I was motivated of occasional aspiration during that time making myself proudly involved of what we want the society must do. We feel as if we were serving also the society that time by getting involvement on the current issues. This is what I would like to share. I read the sentence,” The responsibilities of those young people” on the material from 16th lecture. I myself is one of “those young people”. For me, the ring has fallen considerably from the level of the world, the state and the revolution “for fifty years since the age of 18 but " I am thinking that I can talk about only the feelings of "Koshi" who was nurturing my ambition in the place where I was being raised while being encouraged by the word of the treasure of this country's treasure. Perhaps it is a world of self-satisfaction, regardless of the outcome, but I'd like to say only that I can live my life with the same feeling as I was like 18 years old eventhough I am 68 years old now. It is both fun and scary as to how the active students of Miyoshi High School, separated from 50 years, will fulfill.I will consider it as an impression above. Yoshimitsu Kiyono."The responsibilities of those young people"(Excerpt)Hiroshi TasakaHave those young people continued to embrace the passion and aspirations of their young days and have changed this country to a better one?The forgotten spirit of politeness, a sluggish economy, a society that lost sympathy, a floating culture, and precious things as I see those lonely reality , one quiet preparation is left in my mind.To those young people,For future generations,There still something I have to do.That feeling remains in my mind.(Written in July 23, 2018)
- What Are You Doing Now?
  Sometimes the customer asked, “What are you doing”?. Since I retired from System Origin two years ago, I can’t execute applicable farewell speech. I feel, I’m not doing my best for a long time. So, when I meet a customer, I just asked myself quietly this question, “What are you doing”?Every time I crawl, I answered, “I’m falling down around the taxi industry”, but I think I should go ahead and tackle about the contents of “ testing up (urouro)” soon.I t seems that the main body of the System Origin that has undergone the Third Inauguration has been progressing smoothly aiming for the Fourth Foundation. As the taxi industry is at the turning point same way like the System Origin as a software house, let’s take into consideration this turning point. There seems like a big ordeal in the business based on the hypothesis from Third Founding. Its trials itself would nurture the management team which will be responsible for the System Origin for the next 30 years in the making. Therefore, my role is not there.So where do you testing up? I’m thinking. It cannot be said that is a retreat even in the late sixties (60’s) for the present era. So, as a result of thinking about on what is likely to be beneficial to the taxi industry also means what you can do for the benefit of the industry. One of the things to be consider in the taxi industry is the issue regarding about of taxi crews shortage by which cannot be solve at all, isn’t it? And can you help us to create a field of occupational service that is needed even if another era of automatic driving comes? I’m thinking about it. It is even better if that medium blends to your hobbies, how fun is it if you can!...With Taxi- Assist, Team NEXTAs my work, “Takuashi -kun”operating the company “Taxi Assist” which have been working since the System Origin era in 2008. Taxi Assist learned advance taxi operators nationwide and was considered having the “best practice”. Overnight seminar camp “Team Next” is operated. However, “Takuashi-kun” is transferred on the taxi site of the internet portal site which acquired two travel industries, preparing for more developments. The management of the Team Next is handled too by Mr. Noda. His business execution depends on his planning ability and my role is rarely recognized.Encounter with TSTiE Last May, it so happened that it reached to my understanding that the Tokyo Higher Taxi Association trained taxi crew members aiming to be an interpreter-guide at the same time. This group of crews was aimed to be utilized only to the special zone called, TSTiE (Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi in English). For the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the system for inbound was created way back in 2015 in response to the needs of the administration of the country and its cities. The target goal is to train at least 300 TSTiE crewmembers for 2020 yet there were only less than a 100 of people actually participated on the said training. I thought, “This is it”! Honestly, the call of “English” was strong. I remember when I was a 26 year old taxi driver in Shimizu, I learned English on my own while inside the car. Thanks to my perseverance, I gained at least level 2 in English proficiency though the level was just for beginners. Will there be any increase among taxi crewmen if each of them will be working as English interpreter guide at the same time? Prior to this, Tokyo Higher taxi association designed TSTiE qualifications. I thought that there was no hand that did not make use of this. In my column last May of 2017, I asked a taxi operator to become a scheduled crew member. On the same way, the operator asked me to take series of tests in order to challenge them to become TSTiE drivers. In the month of March of this current year, I was able to manage well my way to TSTiE after trainings I had at Tokyo taxi center, examinations, Tokyo City Guide Training and other series of exams from Tokyo Metropolitan Area Interpreter Guide. With those undertakings, the solutions on the problem in this field have come to light.I Have Qualifications But I Do Not Have The Job!There were about 40 people including myself participated on Tokyo Metropolitan Area Limited Interpretation Guide (condition of TSTiE driver) in FY2009. Some of the participants have already obtained the required TSTiE qualifications in the past yet they opt to attend this training still. As the voice of the scene, it was still obvious that the available jobs among interpreter- guides remained small. I complained for the lack of avenues wherein my abilities could increase. Bridging that voice or sentiments to the department in charge of TSTiE’s promotion organization, the qualification system was created yet the job of the interpreter-guides was basically dependent to each company. On the part of the association, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t mediate or put efforts in it. It is true that each member company of the Association has a variety of initiatives for inbound tourism. There seems that it will be difficult to come up with unified response as an association. Then, the major business that functions with physical strength and manpower would still be impossible for small businesses. We began to consider networking among gatherings and dispatching taxi operators. Passengers are legally entitled to a travel agency. Fortunately, a taxi site that was founded in the year 2000 which already has 1,600 affiliated business enterprises nationwide got two types of travel businesses. Possibility is there. As a round operator, I came up of the idea of establishing non- profit General Corporation with taxi operators and crews as its members. Furthermore, we took into consideration the problem faced by inbound tourism, that was, shortage of crew members. We came up on the idea of networking inbound tourism crews corresponding to the spots of inbound demand. It is of clear understanding that dispatching is not permitted in hired taxi business so they are registered as scheduled crewmember/s of each taxi company. If necessary, they will be on-board based on instructions of a hire or taxi operator. As a candidate for such inbound tourist attendant, one should get the required interpreter’s qualifications that comes in two types. My case is different. In the past, experienced taxi crewmen with certain level of English ability, were able to respond to this demand and they were so called getting “sub job”. Furthermore, foreigners can do the job prior to interpreting. Local crewmen and foreigners were considered not full time crewmembers. Both groups of workers would be able to attend to the transportation needs of the increasing numbers of tourists’ right on the spot. They will be effectively helpful in responding inbound tourism demands, thus utilizing labor force together with the improvements of productivity rate of the vehicles.Therefore, if you answered the first question, “What are you doing now”? It means, “We are trying to create mechanism for inbound tourism in the industry!’ (June 26, 2018)

- Everything Is Guided Origin Group’s General Mee
  Everything Is GuidedOrigin Group’s General MeetingThis year the meeting of General Council of the Origin Group was held last April 13 at “Terusa“ in Shizuoka city. I participated on this meeting representing the Taxi Assist Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of System Origin Co., Ltd.Every year, each employee from the mentioned company gathers from all over the country. The president Mr.Unno and the general managers announced the policies of the previous fiscal year and the upcoming fiscal year. Looking back last March 2016 to the company where I worked with, I’m glad enough to accept that the company performance does advanced and keep on developing. I am deeply moved to be a member of Mist companywhich was a good rival to System Origin for many years in Tohoku district. Being able to become a member of System Origin that gained deep trust from customers is of good advantage for further developing more the quality services and breadth of Origin.Presentation of TensionBeing a member of origin Group, I made a presentation that took twenty minutes (20 min). It is of customary to grasp the microphone and talk in front of audience. It was pretty nervous on my part considering I didn’t exercise it for a year. My watch pulse meter normally beats by 60s but for that moment of time, it exceeded to 100s. I got thirsty all of a sudden, my mouth didn’t move well and I felt uncomfortable. I didn’t care about others. At the end, everything worked well.Wrestling on Creation of New Business ModelThe presentation of each company head with the inclusion of President Mr.unno, can be characterized with challenging attitude, sense of crisis and being unresponsive to the solidness of the performance at hand. The taxi industry system managed by System Origin is in major turning point. Its fundamental change in business model is questioned. Uncertainty of what the future may bring is real. So, the business model of System Origin and the product lineup will also need to be innovated more. No one can lay the answers. One must grab the answer using trial and error parameter. On the other hand, though there was a serious moment at the social gathering of this general conference, everybody in Origin group is bright and healthy.“Please leave the future of Origin to me!” If you can recognize all the “clichés” within yourself, I believe we will overcome the struggles together while cooperating with the taxi industryThrough this general conference, I presented each member of System Origin Group Mr. Hiroshi Tasaka’s book entitled”, All is Guided”. Considering the title itself, one may realized that this sounds like religious-based kind of book. Actually it is a life book that tells us how to deal with difficult issues that arise simultaneously. It will help one to embrace with optimism the future. To further explain its purpose, I’m looking forward to reprint the 15th Tasakajuky attendance report.Tasaka Juku Special 15th Lecture “Take the Power to Think Deeply”(After Mr. Tasaka’s Impression)Honestly, I haven’t read yet the book I bought last December which is entitled, “All is Guided”. After the lecture yesterday, I have been to Hitoyoshi in Kumamoto for a business trip. As I waited in Haneda airport heading to Fukuoka, took the Kyushu Shinkansen and conventional line, I read the book the whole time on my seat. I think that it was possible to apply what Mr. Tasaka has taught.Above all, I noticed one thing for myself.Actually I belong to baby- boomer generation the same with Mr. Tasaka. I am 68 years old. I’m interested thinking on how past years of life evolved. As I reach this age, I summarized what I have done. (I’ve been persistent for 8 years…). I weighed my entire struggle movements followed by a new left wing activism. I have been thinking for long time if I need to do it. I consider the column I’m writing where I can express what I like yet I couldn’t do it all at once. For me the word summary smells like a monster, I’m still thinking of the summarization of everything. I have to accomplish my responsibilities.Now that I have read Mr. Tasaka’s “All is Guided”, my way of summarizing is considerably not the same with that of Mr. Tasaka.I felt like I’m arrogant, unaware of what I’m doing in my life, trying to organize what was right merely on my point and that the wrong outcomes were the result of majority’s affirmation. From the viewpoint that “everything was guided” my heart got the full ideas as I did a review of my life. (I have not finished yet…)We can try to look back of what history has recorded and then realized that those happenings were led accordingly.There was another awareness. It is the limitation prior to age.I am 68 years old already. There was a need to resolve things I haven’t made in the past. I’m thinking things of the above. I’m more concerned about of organizing the past rather than living with it in the present. Curiosity is so strong making me to do a lot and making me feel as if I’ve got too much life. I just noticed yesterday that this way of realization is just self-limiting. As I look back my past lifestyle, I consider now things as if “everything is guided”. Until now, everything is guided and various happenings resulted to another outcome. There was a sense as if half of life was over, but no matter what, as long as I’m alive, there is still room for growth. I will live my life. I still have the spirit to manage my present. I still have the potentials despite of my age. I can still think on my own. I‘m living now.Thank you very much.(Written on April 19, 2018)

- Let’s Become TSTiE Driver One after Another
  Limited Tokyo - Metropolitan Area Special Interpreter Guide Certification TrainingThe certified training program for regional interpreter guides that started since January 15 has ended yesterday with corresponding examination, February 20. That training was conducted for more than 10 days. The results will be expected to be released in mid-March. In the my column entitled 『Dankai koushiroku』written at the end of April last year, “Become TSTiE Driver” and another column in August , I got the urge to become a tourism correspondence TSTiE (Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi in English) driver of Tokyo Hire Taxi Association.In order to do so, I was hired as Tokyo-based Taxi Company deemed as regular member. I took geographical exams from Tokyo Taxi Center and was fortunate then to get crew’s membership certificate. I experienced some difficulties in the newly approach training for caliber riders in Tokyo. While still searching for solutions about it, I decided to have a short-term study program in Manila abroad. That way, I could prepare myself for Limited Tokyo Metropolitan Area Special Interpreter Guide Certification Training considered to be the last requirement needed for TSTiE. In this column, “Let’s Become TSTiE Drivers One After Another,” let me write something about Limited Tokyo - Metropolitan Area Special Interpreter Guide Certification Training together with the experiences I got from it.Significance of Interpreter Guide’s The revision of the law last year concerning tourism industry in the field of interpreter-guiding services enabled anyone to guide with fee despite of not having standard certification. The idea of TSTiE is for the upcoming Olympics in 2020. In 2015, the Taxi Hire Crew must to finish the Limited Tokyo - Metropolitan Area Special Interpreter Guide Certification Training in order for them to be able to ask a fee for interpreting-guiding services. After that , they have to pass the test. The passer will become a certified TSTiE driver. The Tokyo-Metropolitan Government hosted the said training with cooperation of True Japan Tour Co., Ltd. The latter was the one who received the consignment prior to implementation of the training. True Japan Tour Co.,Ltd. is actually a travel agency. This company is subsidiary of NPO organization Japanese Cultural Experience Exchange based on a nationally qualified interpreter guides providers. This company is also an educational institution. Despite of failure on the second exam from National Interpreter Guide last year, I have joined and registered on this NPO organization by all means. Registration on this organization is not limited only for those qualified ones (national interpreters) but as well to those who are aiming to join in it. If you are a member, the interpreter’s work mediation will be sent on your email followed with another one. If you raise your hand, the secretariat will judge and the work will go to the most deserving person. Of course, since I was not a skilled, I did not raise my hand but I will be dismissed even if given up. (It is not illegal under new interpreter guide professional law even if you raise your hand, do the work and get the fee.) By the way, is this how significant TSTiE now that the new interpreter guide professional law was established and enforced? At least, interpreting-guiding services fee is now made possible using this special zone system even if someone does not qualify for TSTiE. In addition to the taxi/hire fee, in order to gain the interpreter guide fee, the service contents corresponding to it are necessary . There will be no separate fee for merely speaking English. It is actually qualified as Tokyo Taxi Center Public Interest Corporation. The so- called English Certified Driver (ECD) can communicate and use basic English expressions beneficial to taxi sales to foreign users and for emergency response. This capability is region limited, TSTiE plays important role with regards to its designed fee for its ECD and be reasonable too as it claims to be “interpreter-guide”.Interpretation Guide to Be Branded I think that “Interpreter Guide”, by which exclusive right in business is nothing but only carries name exclusive right is like branding monopolistic name in the future. There were no brands in the world given monopoly rights. They only retain their brands (exactly the name exclusive rights) based on the product history and quality. I think that the TSTiE driver with the name of Tokyo limited region interpreter guide has a so -called power brand in order to be known but I believed that Japan based on the ‘safety, security and hospitality that the country itself possesses. For me, we must make efforts in giving brands same like that of bicycle hire taxi industry brand.Level of Training of Tokyo Limited Area Interpreter Guide In that sense, what is the level of certification training considering that it is the first barrier? Written materials were prepared by True Japan Tour Co.,Ltd. under the guidance of Tokyo Hire Taxi Association but I think that they based the information more on guiding in Tokyo alone. In terms of English proficiency, there must be more than 600 TOEIC points in order to be qualified for the training (the score for exemption from English interpreter guide exceeds 900 points from the next fiscal year). In reality, ordinary TOEIC scores are just based on listening and reading skills. It means, the ability to converse is not thoroughly meet by these scores alone. In fact, many of the taxi drivers had diverse backgrounds in the past yet participant’s conversational skills were quite controversial.Conditions for Standing on the Starting Table I think that every qualification examination is necessary but being able to pass the exam is on the starting table. In reality, you must be really doing business as if you are striking your head there and here. Trainings will surely offer opportunities to meet and talk among co-trainees from various companies. Your real focus was to tie up the actual work by acquiring TSTiE qualifications. I met some seniors who complained about TSTiE certificates they acquired before yet there were no available jobs for what they have got. There was no place to practice their interpreting guide skills per se.Developments on Interpreter Guide Demands and Coordination with the TSTiEIt is said that the demand for taxi’s interpreter guide is quite satisfying based on the crews perception. The problem is that, there is no available mechanism or approach that could connect the demand window and its demand to the TSTiE crews. The TSTiE qualified staff that just stood up on the start table has no chance to continuously study. Also, in terms of studying, the actual work is more effective but the achievement is small. Although such mechanism may be possible for major taxi company on its own, it is quite tough for other company, that’s why reliable opinions are asked among crew members in order to end up with such needed mechanism. Perhaps the brand is born in accumulation of trial and error of these steady scenarios. (Written February 21, 2018)

- Impact of Time and Experiences
  Impact of Time and ExperiencesThe 19th Team Next Seminar Camp in OkinawaThe 19th seminar camp was held last 22nd and 23rd of January this year 2018. Regular meeting of Team Next was also held at The Pacific Hotel in Naha, Okinawa. This time, our organization got a great cooperation from Okinawa Prefecture Taxi Association. Okinawa Prefecture Taxi Association Director General Tsuhako shared a lot of ideas from his “Okinawa Prefecture’s Taxi Industry in the Past and Current Status”. Okito Transportation Group Chairman of the Association Representative,president agarie had share matters about “The Response to the Regional Needs of Okinawa and Future Strategies”.It was evidently proven that in Okinawa, taxi industries grow rapid. There are united efforts within the industry. Vice-chairman of Yaeyama branch Iida had shared good points by which every veteran over the years would agree upon. He discussed how the taxi industry is going so far with the theme on “white taxi whichi is illegal situation in Miyako and Yaeyama and countermeasures".A white taxi problem by Chinese people was reported. Details were mentioned on a report from "Taxi Japan magazine" of this journal and public relations officer of System Origin. I hope to see you all there.On the second day of seminar, Okito Transportation Group got the opportunity to interview three mechanic skills trainees from Vietnam which were adopted quickly. It seems that Japanese companies in Vietnam were highly evaluated. It appeared that after being trained in Japan, there seem that these trainees will apply for work in Japanese companies in Vietnam. Based on this encounter with the trainees, these honest and hardworking trainees, isn’t it that it is in the mechanics field that the industry suffers from lack of people’s hands?In addition, we had a chance to visit the Kids Land in the company’s nursery school of Okito Transportation Group. It is a large- scale (30 persons) childcare facility that utilizes the subsidiary project directly supervised by the Cabinet Office. Hello Kitty’s character is also fully utilized that helps lead image upgrade of the group itself.To the site of white Taxi…The seminar camp this time…continuationAs one of the goals for this seminar camp, we aimed to interview directly the Chinese drivers and tourists. In relation, we asked the help of an interpreter from China. We were challenged there at Shuri Castle and Mihama American Village near Kadena Base and the results were something I couldn’t afford to do. There was a little regret on my part prior to the activities that were aligned. Preparing ahead of time must be put into considerations.“Natsuko”Okinawa Premier Trade QueenSpeaking of preparations, there were recommended books beforehand that summarized everything to be done in this seminar camp. These were provided by Mr.Noda, who Managing Director of Team Next Secretariat was in charge of implementation of the program seminar. Unfortunately, I was not able to read even half-part of the book considering I have visited Okinawa in “ Bushunbunko’s Natsuko Okinawa Dense Trade Queen” (Okuno Shuji). In relation, I was able to know a part of the unique era of “free trade”. Realizing the situation during Okinawa war, what strikes me more was the emotion brought by “Ryukyus world”. The Ryukyu Kingdom that was so strict before was really memorable one.I was able to take the glimpse of life during that so called dense trade. Let me ponder on those. They were done I know.In the recent years, I have a feeling of being somewhat embarrassed in the statement regarding Senkaku problem. Some high ranking officials of the People’s Liberation Army of China had claimed that, “ Ryukyus belongs to China”. That person who said so was disappointed I think. But, for the people in Okinawa, that connotation must be said in different manner. There was like a different complexity of emotion lying in the connotation.Though Ryukyu dynasty was included in Chinese recorded dynasty, it was not a colony per se. I don’t think that many people would want to belong to China. In addition, there was underlying connection about the Satsuma that had invaded Ryukyus in 1609. There are people who still hold historical distrust in Meiji government’s “disposal of Ryukyus”. The effects can still evidently see on the problem face in Henoko now in the perspective of a Yamatonchu myself. Sometimes, there are things that you cannot fully understand along the way. The division and relatedness of “each truth” derived from historical position and different experiences is not an easy thing to conclude. I have no idea how to unravel the interwoven thread but it seems that it is possible to list down some lesson from the experiences in the past.Good and evil, Dichotomy between controller and controlled …..Long ago, I perceived the progress in society this way. In a simple scheme, I perceived that the ruling class is evil, the ruled class is good, and the ruled class overrides the ruling class (a typical class struggles historical view). Additionally, the authority is evil; the one who resist is good. The rich is evil, the poor is good.The person who discriminates is evil, the non- discriminant is good. Such simple dualism and romanticism way of thinking was what I have before. I do consider that kind of perception very factual. But later on, I realized that it was too simple and stereotyped. The reality is somewhat more diverse, complex and not dichotomous. Depending on the given scenario, good might be converted to evil and what was considered as evil in reality appeared to be that common in human.Considering the position and experiences as the basis of human identity, when we stick to it and thus having the lack of broader perspective, will just results hurting ourselves and the world. The religious conflict such as the current terrorism is carried out as a holy war in which the evil is fulfilled in the name of justice. Experiences that support that feeling (families were killed, invaded) is happening in reality and are done with confidence by those terrorist. Justice and judgment of monotheism may bring strong energy to those who believe it but for me, the real social stability lies in an oriental- based way of behaving. Japan’s spiritual strut lies in religious tolerance that finds eight million gods in nature and ancestry together with Buddhism that aims more on thorough self- development.I think that the world in the future will be beyond the influence of spiritual soil of “Wa” and altruism by fusing in the time of Prince Shotoku. By the way, I don’t want to end up things here by labeling. He just listens to “the truth according to one’s perspective as much as possible. He tries to avoid putting label whether it is “right wing” or “left wing”, whether it is religion or race, whether it is history or class per se. He will just regard things as equal as if it is. He will not discard the “truth” with limitations. I believe that is will be necessary to have an evaluation and have a judgment based on other’s viewpoint enabling us to widen up the horizon of differences. We would be able to endure what the reality is.Let’s not just consider alone the “world of natsuko” but let’s understand the heterogeneous experiences of Okinawa. Let’s face things straight, considering the diverse world including Okinawa as I included it in my thoughts while on this trip…(Written January 24, 2018)
- I Might Not Able To Get Back Japan…
  I Might Not Able To Get Back Japan….I got up at 5 o’clock this morning and left Yangon International Hotel at 6 o’clock am. taking the tour bus for our sightseeing agenda.I went back to our hotel almost past 10 o’clock pm.in the evening.The first thing I did in the morning was to take a bus ride for almost 4 hours. I consumed 40 minutes more for transferring to the truck loading flat form. It took 40 minutes more to reach Myanmar Buddhist sacred place called Chaitye Pagoda. The latter is also popular by its name, “Golden Rock”.Honestly, I don’t want to write too much! . Remembering how we were transferred to another truck from our bus and endured the bumpy ride almost like a roller coaster, I can’t help but to forget the tiring experience. With all the mixed emotions inside the truck we were in, it seems that my I can’t help but to forget the tiring experience I have hang around my neck had fell off inside the truck!.I didn’t notice that my pouch was not on my neck anymore as I reached the place. The things that were running in my mind that time was about the complaints uttered by the locals of Myanmar regarding the bumpy rides they got. Suddenly, I realized that my passport and money were in that pouch!.Fortunately, my pouch was delivered to me by the kindhearted man.People in Myanmar knew that devout Buddhists are indeed friendly to others. I was told by our tour members that I am very fortunate.If in an instance my pouch was lost, I might tremble and get cold sweat.I once misplaced my bag in Manila last year and I was so lucky enough to get it back too. Thanks to the very trustworthy staff of that restaurant!.As I sighed, I whispered myself, “Why are you helping me?” .I also feel grateful to the Golden Rock!.After we visited the Golden Rock, we proceeded to three more temples in Bago. Then, as I checked my phone, the battery was up already. Gladly, I was able to save some other photos!.As we head back to Yangon, we got our dinner in a firepot at past 9 o’clock. We reached our hotel at past 10 o’clock already in the evening.It was a long day!I will ready myself to another sightseeing in Yangon tomorrow!.Baby Boog pilgrimage Ameba Edition 0091
- “How To Make Countryside Looks Cool Where Foreig
  “How To Make Countryside Looks Cool Where Foreigners are Enthusiastic?”YAMATOKO Corporation which play important role in inbound field had sponsored Taku Yamada in his “How To Make Countryside Looks Cool Where Foreigners are Enthusiastic” (Shinchosha).I attended the publication anniversary.The venue of the event was at the second floor of Inbound League in Shinjuku inbound Mecca which has opened last year in October.This so- called Inbound League is a facility that aims to become a “global and business hub”. It is a kind of workplace, rental space, lounge and multinational office under the management of Odakyu subsidiary USD Co., Ltd.Our Taxi Assist is also a lounge member that have contacts on inbound.The commemoration party is held prior to the publication of “Big Way to Make Countryside Looks Cool Where Foreigners Are Enthusiastic Then”. This became a big event because current inbound officials of Japan gathered all together.Honestly speaking, I was not familiar with Taku Yamada, the author of the book above.On the other hand, He is so famous in this sightseeing business that secretary of Japan Tourism Agency rushed to celebrate too! HE started tour course whichi is called SATOYAMA EXPERIENCE applicable for foreigners at FURUKAWA Town in Hida city.He did a consultant for while , after that he wandered around the world for a couple of years. He noticed the goodness of Japan’s satoyama. He moved to Hida City in Furukawa and started up this service leading to creation of a new form of inbound.As I listened to that lecture, I became motivated to read the book of this person.Additionally speaking, that man hold on a cycling tour and perticepants grow up to 3,000 people who came from Europe, United States, AustraliaThese tour get five stars at “Trip Advisor” evaliations.He became “Advisor” of government because of these success.Though I’m not yet TSTiE(Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi driver in English), I believed this book does offer substantial content.Considering myself as a newcomer here, it feels little hard to get along with others here because majority of the participants who I didn’t know. It gets tougher as the memorial lecture ended up but I opt to stay until the end of the event and just do what I can.I myself just give my smile to everyone.I just want to go far as I can. What I want to show is more achievements..Baby pilgrimage Amebro version 0089

- Oral Exam Result　is within the assumption…
  Oral Exam Result　is within the assumption…Today December 25, there comes the announcement of passers for interpreters who took the oral examination last December 3 of the same year.Unfortunately, my examination number which is 011687 is not included among the numbers of successful applicants…I did check it up again and again,but I could not find it (sweat)But it’s natural.It’s only fortune and like accident for me to pass the first written exam. And honestly, I couldn’t remember the full content of my oral exam. I wasn’t able to explain thoroughly the assigned topic on me which was about, “ chirashi sushi”.Despite the fact that I’m not sure of what to say really ,I had a little expectation to pass oral exams ,there was some reason.There was a rumor that some applicants got sweet scores to make the growing demand for interpreters guides be known to many.Untill now the passing rate on oral exam (2nd test) every year is around 70% . In written exam (1st test), the passing rate is higher than 30%.It is not only this year that the passing rate on written exams hits as low as 15.6% and the passing rate on oral exam declined to 58.15 from 77.4%.The successful applicants last year from 2404 changed. It decreased by 31.4%, about 679 people.But why?There are multiple factors underlying. It is considered that the deregulation of interpreter-guides law is made. The national qualification for interpreters guide has only name exclusive right even given to unqualified person. We could do a fee-based interpreter guide (the law was enacted in June this year, will be implemented in January 2018). In some sense, it would be necessary to cut the chain composition done by sources like travel agencies and other companies. This factor affects the interpreter guides exam scoring considering it as a national exam. That’s how it goes.Of course, I do not know the truth of this matter. That is just my opinion. People who don’t have real ability might find the test difficult to pass.Any rate I handle this matter with calm perspective .After all;we need to learn more so that we could get the difference between qualified and unqualified interpreter- guides.It seems that the business by which interpretation is involved is quite hard. If the authority that gives the exclusive name rights will be of higher standard, will it be possible to benefit from it?Anyway, I considered this exam as a preliminary one for this year. ( I had interpreter guide exam last August 20, 2017).lLet’s try again next year with fighting spirit.Fortunately the written exam passing result is just valid for a year. The only challenge lies on oral exam pass.However, my objective is not to get the qualification certificate for interpreter guides but to get the qualification certificate from TSTiE (Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi in English). I want to receive the training from Tokyo Metropolitan area for limited special interpreter-guides. I will get the lecture and certificate.The training will start in January 15 next year. The exam will be on 20th of February then. I must successfully get this one for if not, I will not be qualified as TSTiE crew!.It is somehow probably gentler than the national qualified interpreter guide exam but oral exam is still included in it.Prepare more this time to avoid regrets, TSTiE…I would like to achieve the qualification by all means!

  Exploring of Possible Hi- Taku Human Resources Overseas (Baby Boog Prawn column 107th round 2)Tokyo Sight Seeing Taxi in English (TSiE) Stands on Human ResourcesThe Tokyo Higher Taxi Associations established TSTiE in 2015 with the goal of securing 300 people needed for the upcoming Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic in 2020.Though the Interpreter Guides Professional Law was revised together with the fact that we didn’t receive guide’s examinations, our taxi crews are capable of guiding the customers. We are able to serve them with amicable fee.For the sake of quality assurance, the excellent customer service is said to achieved after the taxi crews undergone various qualification testings’ that includes; Laws Governing Driving Qualifications (tru Tokyo Taxi Center Test) , Tokyo City Guide Test and Tokyo Tourists Taxi Driver Certified Training, Tokyo Metropolitan Area Limited Interpreting Guide Professional Exam. These tests are necessary but I want to simplify this system a little more. I believe that it would be better if foreigners will work in the hi-tech industry of Japan.Of course I’m aware that there are few foreigners that possess the needed qualifications. But, on the other side, we could pioneer some changes that could put an impact on the current Japanese Immigration Policy, be it on legal aspects and various examinations required.I would like to develop the necessary exemptions in the given examinations and some implementations of Tokyo Center exams in foreign language etc…If it passed in Tokyo, it will be possible to end up with advantages that will help improve the situation in Japan.Understanding Skill Training SystemNowadays in Japan, in relation to employment qualification of foreign human resources from over 16 various fields, possibility to work is high once the candidate undergone training/ had an experience for over 20 years.That idea was recognize to further assist Japan’s manufacturing technology influencing the developing countries per se. Recently, those that are include in service type industries like caregivers and those that works manually become the recipient of this “skills training “.Taxi service considered to be an advance service industry is also the subject of this “skill training”. Though this “skill training” has maximum 5 years employment limitation, it might grows to Hi-taku Hakito that eventually will become highly specialized human resources, then, what will happen to Japanese society at the end?..Uncontrolled, undisciplined immigrants might bring unnecessary circumstances along with domestic workers and Japanese society though in some way around it offers advantages. Then, there must be recognized balance in every aspect of the labor situation in the country.The Required Taxi Industry InterventionHowever, the adaptation of this hi-tech type of work through skill trainings, it is deem necessary that the industry showcases improved political and administrative approaches.Considering the industry situation, if there will be no demand from its side then there’s any need for adapting the skill training system.General Association Overseas Hi Tak Human Resource Employment Promotion Association have high numbers of talented English speaking people that do make investigations and researches to understand the mechanism. They do try to study how could they implement some procedures in the Philippines as one of their targets in “skill training” . I would like to function as a mediation management organization but it’s not easy per se because the mechanism has not implemented yet.I think there will more trial and error to face along the way but definitely, I want to get engage in the promotion of human resource overseas necessary for Japan’s local employment sustainability as well as for taxi supports stability.

- Exploring the possibility of overseas Hi Tak hum
  Exploring the possibility of overseas Hi Tak human Resources (Baby Boog praise column 107th _1)Suggestion at Team Next SeminarIn relation to a journal (Taxi Japan) about taxi industry, there was an article published in No.311 Column. The article was divided in two parts.There was an article posted on taxi journal regarding the Seminar Camp in Niigata by Team Next.(No.310 November 10 issue)Mr. Terama visited Philippines and come up a report. The taxi president Sadakane Sangamori held a lecture. The president of Nakayama Chuetsu Traffic Co., Ltd described the lecture’s content of Sanjyo city Mayor Kunikazu of Niigata.From the direction of Kiyono regarding on “accepting workers from overseas” the idea of establishing an association for promotion of human resources for employment has been introduced.As I saw this article several times from a number of people, I get interested of its content.Actually, it is at the planning stage still. It is not fully designed yet. It happened to be a startup organization only. There was a general foundation being established in the past but it is unlikely to materialize. Additionally speaking, there the rise of some issues related to shortage of crews in taxi industry. I wanted to help resolve these issues in taxi industry to the best I could.The shortage of taxi crews/ cabin crews is somewhat structured in nature. It gets serious now. The decline of operation is due to limited availability of local crews.Even in Tokyo, this thing can also be felt.The labor shortage is due to declining population of Japan. There is a decrease on numbers of productive people ranging from 15-64 years old. It is noticeable when one tries to observe the transportation services and nursing care services.Government in every prefecture obviously tries to address the issue regarding the needed workforce labor but can’t, due to the declining birthrate and productive labor force. While aiming to compensate the lack on workers effectively, results from measures done is the period I cannot wait.Efforts are being made to recruit graduated crewmen and others. It is quite difficult for local taxi companies. Now, I’m thinking, “ How about recruiting immigrants as taxi crews the same like in America and Europe?”.Immigration Policy in JapanThere are over 2 million foreigners living in Japan. It is like 2 % from the total population generally speaking. Japan government prohibits employment among foreigners unless the latter are from group of advanced personnel or say, professionals. We don’t allow employment of foreign nationals as much as possible but the exception of those that are professionals.Though in Japan, there is so called skill training system open for everyone and the other the system by which a foreign student who is studying in Japan can earn a living, this scenario is rare. That’s why, employing foreign drivers is not allowed too, though driving is just a simple kind of work.The problem on shortage work force can be address on allowing immigrants to work here; still, this reason is not enough way to solve the problem. Social confusion may arise at the end. It is a difficult problem then. There should balance whether in quantitative and qualitative aspects.I think that there is no choice but to deal with it realizing things to be consider.Is hire- taxi driving a simple labor?Driving taxi/s is considered ordinary job.However, based on my own experience, it is a world where know how on human resources is an important aspect to consider. There’s a need on hiring well trained or well experienced personnel in taxi industry. These advanced personnel should developed service menu that would cater various needs of riding customers.With regards to “hospitality”, local drivers possess it naturally but the advancement on areas like urban mapping, or geographical knowledge of a complex urban area should be put into consideration by people in taxi industry. In addition, nursing care taxi helpers that cater mothers, infants, and sick is also of great importance too. The work force ability to give great customer service like tour guiding services, communication through using the mother tongue and foreign language, efficient customer service to inbound customers are the things I highly considered per s e.I think the issue between the inbound customers and white taxis run by foreigners just need consensus especially on the utilization of foreign human resources.I wonder if we can deal with it effectively.

- Gone is the Uncomfortable Feeling as the Outer S
  Gone is the Uncomfortable Feeling as the Outer Side of the Shoes Remained As IsI visit Minami Aoyama Treatment Institute for once in a while.Doctor’s 53rd Clinic is an interesting osteopathic center. I mentioned this clinic in my blog before.Doctor’s 53rd clinic (October 19, 2017)http://ameblo.jp/ykiyono800/entry-12320817722.htmlI had this uneasy feeling with my right hip joint. I also feel it as I wear my socks.I try to connect this uneasy feeling with the way I walk.The Director of Treatment Institute is Mr. Yasuhide Shinpo.I found out that there are writings and DVD’s related to the art of walking and everything related to it.In particular, I found this book entitled, “ comfortness remains once the outer side of the shoes remained as is (without making the heels lessened)”. Actually, I’m doing the opposite. The heels of my shoes continuously reducing its size as time passes by. It is evidently seen below.And now, I received this wearable insoles made from Canada.In relation to the cause of uncomfortable feeling in walking lies on the fact that my shoe size is not adequate at the same time. I used to wear 25.5 cm shoes but actually my exact size must only be 24.5 cm. (I didn’t check it twice).So, starting now, I have to use the 24.5 cm size of shoes. By the way, this size is obsolete nowadays. I have no choice but to wear what’s available at the moment. (Keep it secret from Dr. Shinpo!)Since I enjoyed walking for many many years, it won’t be easy to change my lifestyle in relation to walking. To walk just after body treatment means trying to working out my inner thighs only but sooner the feeling I always have will be just back.On the other hand, this condition of mine in relation to walking does not make me worried. I had observed that many people in this world have their own means of handling matters related to walking.Some people look good as they walk. Some walk adequately but some do walk like dumb ones. I myself feel like I’m walking with O legs. It affects health so I can’t help but feel interested about it.Though I’m 67 year old already, I still aim to have this proper way of walking . It might sounds late but I will start today.

- I Finally See the Meguro Sky Garden!
  I went to Minami Aoyama’s Foot Treatment Center last time and I was able to passed- by to the so called “ Meguro Sky Garden.”Though considered by locals near, by which the distance from Omotesando via Hanzomon subway from Shibuya Station only takes six minutes, you still have to take Ikejiri Ohashi Bridge station from Denentomichi line.How lovely to hear such name of a place, “Sky Garden”!Actually, this garden is located on the rooftop at the “Ohashi Bridge Junction” which runs deep underground in the elevated capital high speed No. 3 Shibuya Line and Yamate street.This Ohashi Junction is a loop tunnel with a 4 –layer structure with a height of 71 meters. Each lap has the 400 meters that connects a central loop running 35 meters above Line 3 and 36 meters below ground.This loop’s tunnel eyes have very steep and sharp curve. This junction is of great help for cars that entered Line 3 from Tomei heading to Shinjuku and the Gulf road side. It started to serve fully last March 2015 though in 2010, Shinjuku line was already open to the public.This elegant Japanese garden was built on the rooftop.Though I already heard and read about it on the internet, if I decide to see it for real than I just have to drop by at Ikejiri Station. From there, I can pass by at the 9th floor of the apartment called “Opus”. Near this apartment, you can also see the Northern office of Meguro Ward and Meguro Ohashi Library.This garden lies on the donut shape roof building. You will see the wide empty middle section of the garden. Meguro Sky garden is in the middle part of Shibuya city.I don’t know who developed this idea of putting up these gardens on a concrete circular junction. In my opinion, it’s not that wonderful idea. This is just my personal opinion anyway.Today, Tokyo is a well-developed city in a region rich in green sceneries and waters (rivers). Compared long time ago, Tokyo looked like a desert but now it has changed a lot.In addition, the Tokyo City Guide examinations for aspiring interpreter guides will demand more efforts to study fully Tokyo. That means, I will be able to discover a lot of things about Tokyo that I didn’t know yet.Inbound customers will surely return in Tokyo. What I know about Japan is perhaps not enough. I feel that, we, Japanese must see and embrace the wonderful assets of Tokyo, Japan. We must visit ourselves our Meguro Sky Garden.I went to Minami Aoyama’s Foot Treatment Center last time and I was able to passed- by to the so called “ Meguro Sky Garden.”Though considered by locals near, by which the distance from Omotesando via Hanzomon subway from Shibuya Station only takes six minutes, you still have to take Ikejiri Ohashi Bridge station from Denentomichi line.How lovely to hear such name of a place, “Sky Garden”!Actually, this garden is located on the rooftop at the “Ohashi Bridge Junction” which runs deep underground in the elevated capital high speed No. 3 Shibuya Line and Yamate street.This Ohashi Junction is a loop tunnel with a 4 –layer structure with a height of 71 meters.

- Oral Exam of the Interpreter Who Received It
  Oral Exam of the Interpreter Who Received ItDecember 03, 2017 (Sun)Theme : Travel and TravelI undergone oral exam today at Showa Women’s University. I was thankful for the notice I received regarding the upcoming oral exam.The exam procedure was “like” being supervised by a strict jail supervisor. I felt like I was on trial and execution process!From the moment we were place in the first designated waiting room until being transferred to 2nd waiting room, there I felt the tension. Even the line going to toilet appeared to be very structured after the supervisor told something. “ Does it sound amazing?”. The exam appeared like being undertaken by JT B.While this moment is happening, my tension rises. My feet shiver. Keep going, keep going is what running in my head. Take deep breath as I talked to myself.I got 3 weeks only to prepare for the said exam!.I have to be attentive on one minute quick interpretation about various topic related to Japan’s tourist spots, customs, etc. then after, I need present my ideas orally in just 2 minutes!.That’s impossible as I’m realizing it. I need to catch up the time. So, I decided to read a book by Naoko Hirose entitled “I Will Talk About Japan In One Minute”.I tried to listen to its CD as well.I found 80 various topics on this book. I can’t memorize all of these of course!.I checked many times on unfamiliar English translation of some Japanese unique words. I tried to work on 3-4 topics every sitting. Because of my age, I can’t do memorization that much anymore. So, I focused on unfamiliar Japanese events. I need to express that in English.I tried to memorize these topics like “Imperial Family”,” Izakaya”, Sake and Funeral . But at the same time I’m not sure if I could do it. Anyway, if ever, I still have a chance next year.Then came the topics being offered. Interpretation theme was about “Dogo Onsen” whichi is famous hot spring place.And presentation themes are “ Grand Sumo”, “gate pine tree” ,”chirashi(=scattered) Sushi”I have to select one theme from them.I was not prepare for these things.(sweat). As my turn came, I chose “chirashi sushi”. Honestly, I don’t know how to translate chirashi sushi in English…I don’t know how things happened. There was only 2 minute given time for each examiner. I tried to sound knowledgeable. I remembered things that I shall say but ending up not saying it?..I was surprised how I made it! I have such special skills on telling something about things I didn’t know!.Though there was self-introduction as the exam started, I was not able to include my birthday because I talked about my occupation. The cold female examiner maybe didn’t mind it at all.I knew what to say when this particular thing will be asked and I tried to hold in it just to survive in this exam.Now, “Did I pass/fail?. “ What on earth will be the standard grading system?”, “Will accuracy going to matter? These were the questions I’m asking to myself.Don’t expect then if you did not try to talk but, if you did, even if your answers were incongruent, somehow, there was awaiting compensation for it.On the other hand, the result may be checked on the homepage on 25th of December. I don’t need Christmas gift. I only need 4 letter word, “ Pass”.If I need to take the exam again by next year then I will ready myself.I will be happy once I passed the exam. Passing national exams brings more pleasant feeling too. However, in this oral exam, I tried not to expect too much. I was so lucky to pass the previous exam.I hope on this one, I will receive the same like the last one I got.Baby boog pilgrimage Amebro version 0078
