Hello everyone

welcome back

this trip I will take you to Shikoku island

Japan

this video

have 2 parts

which are my journey vlog

and another part

is mention about

how to go to Shikoku island

in the 2nd part

I explained so detail

if you ready, let's go !!!

once I arrived at Kansai airport

I go direct to the high speed ferry ticket counter

I'm going to Kobe first

it's not too cold in Japan now

it's between 15-26 Celsius degrees

then I go to the port by the free shuttle bus

this Ferry is nam SORA (Sky)

the weather is no good today.

the high speed ferry is operated for

transferring between Kansai and Kobe airport

normally the fare is 1,850 yen per person

but special for tourist

only 500 yen

to reserve the ticket in advanced can do in the website

average, ferry departs every hours

the ferry is start from early morning until late night

I'm now arrive at Kobe airport, domestic airport

i'm at Kobe now and already put on my make up.

ready to go

taking PORTLINER to Sannomiya

it's 330 yen per trip

when arrived at Sannomiya station

get off from PORTLINER

go to downstairs

then looking for JR Bus terminal

which is quite small building

my bus will leave at 12:05

I can check the number of platform and time from monitor above

Sannomiya- Takamatsu return ticket is 6700 yen

the bus will go to platform around 5 minutes before depart

the battery charger on the bus is saving my life

from Kawaramachi station, walking around 5 minutes

will reach the guesthouse that I booked

this guesthouse is quite new. Just opened in August 2018

I'm at Takamatsu finally

and now in the hotel

no, guesthouse

Travel and book cabin haluton Takamatsu

near Kawaramachi station

I paid around 750 Thai Bath (23 USD)

but I used the EXPEDIA point

it was more 80 Thai bath cheaper

so it is 6XX Thai bath (20 USD)

but it looks OK by the price

I just finished making my bed

I will sleep like this

don't need to make it beautiful

they have pillow cover and bed sheet

it's so small

I like they provide the Air Purifier

I got off the plane at 9 am

I didn't go to Japan and have to travel in the same day for long time

maybe this is the second time

I was so tried

I was sleeping on the bus

just slept ...

after arrived at Takamatsu

I took a walk.

No any plan

because I plan not to use the train much

so I just walk around the station

this trip is repeat

because last time I came

Typhoon was attach here

in Shikoku island

I bought the JR pass Shikoku

it can be used

all area in Shikoku

but I will travel only in the north part of this island

which are Takamatsu

And Matsuyama

I'm so excited to go to Matsuyama

I will make it my trip highlight

the DOGO onsen in the animation

SPIRITED AWAY

so excited, it must be beautiful place

and I booked the nice hotel there.

The Shikoku Island is the smallest island of 4 main island in Japan

Takamatsu is like a main city

this island have 4 prefectures

Kagawa

Ehime

Kochi and Tokushima

for this trip's transportation

I will use the JR All Shikoku area

it can be selected from 3 days using

apart from JR shikoku

this pass can also use for the city tram

in Takamatsu and Matsuyama

I activated the ticket already

the staff gave me this brochure

they are kind of discount coupons

for restaurants

I was tend to be here

because over here is Pacific Ocean

right?

but...

it's good to but the pass

but it's gonna be exhausted to travel very far

so I decide to travel just here

Matsuyama and Takamatsu

UDON noodle

is famouse in Shikoku

last time I came to Takamatsu

which is the main city of Shikoku island

which I was land at Kansai airport

and then taking ferry

from Kansai to Kobe airport

then arrived Kobe airport

getting train to Sannomiya

and then took the bus from Sannomiya

to Jumbo ferry port

and then took ferry from Kobe to Takamatsu

if you can remember

coming here by ferry is nice

and now is so nice weather

but this time I'm afraid

that I won't be able to have enough time

actually I have no plan to go anywhere today because

just travelling is gonna take too log time anyway

there is a bus from Kansai airport

direct to Takamatsu

no bus or ferry transfer

just one bus

the return ticket is 9300 yen

the first bus is depart around 8 am

and the next bus is depart around 11:30 am

if I want to come by bus I have to wait for

the next bus which is depart at 11:40 am

I think it's no point to wait

I don't want to wait in the airport for many hours

so I

think about taking ferry and then bus

because I am traveler, I will get the cheap price

for the high speed ferry

from Kansai to Kobe airport

it's 500 yen

and no limited how many trip

I asked them

so it's gonna be 500 yen for Kansai to Kobe

then take the Portliner to Sannomiya

and take the bus to Takamatsu

I was calculate many way to go to Shikoku

and I found that

the cheapest and best timing for me

OK, first, cheapest is taking only Ferry

high speed and then Jumbo ferry

altogether with the train and bus transfer to the port

500 yen for high speed ferry

plus bus and train transfer

it will be 2500 yen

per one trip

so from Kansai to Takamatsu will be around

5000 yen in return

very cheap

or if you want to fly

if from outside Japan

there are China air

transit at Taipet

and direct to Takamatsu

apart from this

there also Korean airline

cannot remember the name

but I believe they fly from Seoul to Takamatsu too

and another airline I know is the flight from Shanghai

go back to how much I paid for coming to Takamatsu

Shikoku island

high speed ferry 500 yen

and

train 330 yen

to Sannomiya

and then bus to Takamatsu

is 3700 yen

but I bought return ticket

which is 6700 yen

so total I paid

500 yen x 2 trips of ferry

all total is 7700

so it will be cheaper than the direct bus from Kansai airport

I will end the video here

just a tips for travelling

and how I come to Shikoku island

you can pick the one you like

thank you so much for watching

and visiting my channel "CATNESS TUI"

I am Tui

I will make more video

I will work harder to do better and better video

See you soon ><

Hey everyone, how are you? It's been a while. Sorry I haven't uploaded in ages.

All sorts of things were going on this past month and newtalk got really busy, and I just didn't have time for vids.

Also, I'm focusing most of my time outside of newtalk on chasing another dream right now, so that's eaten up time too.

Well, today's theme is... opening stuff I got in the mail?

+ I'll introduce my chocolate martini recipe!

I've received a bunch of packages from Amazon today, and also

優しいユーチューブを見ていただいてる人からも、何か箱をもらったので、一緒に開けて見ましょう！

At newtalk we make customized materials for our students and

皆さんがその教材を整理できるために、このバインダーを与えます。

全然面白くないですね。

次は、、

これも分かってると思います。僕のピーナッツバターについての動画を見ていただいた優しい女性が

Globalization in Japan - Documentary | Subtitles | (EN | 1080p) - Duration: 6:42.

Japan

The land of the rising sun

But what's about the globalization in Japan?

Globalization has had a significant impact in Japans economy.

It has affected every part of the economy,

even its culture.

This year I was in Japan and I wanted to investigate

the situation.

What are the positive and negative impacts of globalization in Japan?

Positive impact of globalization in Japan

includes the rise of economy.

This due to advancement in technology.

The advance in technology has allow Japan

to develop and manufacture modern equipment's

like cars (Toyota /Nissan),

household products like Toshiba

and Video / Arcade Games (SEGA)

which are in high demand these days.

This has enable many technologies to take place in Japan

and Japanese factories are set up across the world,

because of its sustainable growth

in making new products and technology

which then increases the growth in economy in Japan.

Advancement in modern transportation systems and Internet

had also enabled the world to visit Japan

because of their inspiring sceneries

which then led increases the income through tourism.

It also has an impact on the culture

where the different aspects of culture in Japan

has spread across the world making them well known.

For example: Traditional culture of food like sushi

and kimono has spread to other parts of the world

and no longer just only exist in Japan.

Hence, making the world becoming closer and smaller

because people can experience Japans culture

even if they are not in japan.

Anime

and J-Pop

which are part of japans modern culture

has reached to different parts of the world

where people from other countries draw and watch manga,

anime and do cosplay.

However, it has also forced changes, which are arguably negative on the Japanese life and economy.

And I was thinking

What are the negative impacts of the globalization in Japan?

Although the advancement in technology in Japan has benefited the economy,

however

it also does some harm to the people living in Japan

as this technological advanced equipment's

like robots

will make people lazy and dependent on these equipment's to survive.

As a matter of economics,

as worldwide demand increases,

it requires more production and export.

As the linked economies in the globalization market

produce more,

some states cannot maintain their standard of living

simply because they have no

resources to respond to the demand they face.

China has overtaken Japan as an economic power

because Japan lacked the human resources due to low birth rates.

Due to globalization in Japan,

many aspect of Japan&#39;s culture originality

had been lost.

For example,

western countries are not used to the taste of an Asian country.

Hence, Japanese kitchen are being modified

to suit their taste.

And the traditional clothes worn by Japanese

in the past are not seen wearing today

by locals mainly because they are

being influenced by fashion by other parts

of the world like America and France.

Globalization is a means to an end.

The end is to create and sustain a self-reinforcing

cycle of profit growth and value creation,

access to a richer asset and talent pool

and a more compelling value proposition

for employees and investors.

Getting there will be difficult.

So I hope Japan continues to be the one

of the "mostly free" economies.

PHILIPPINES AND JAPAN HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES OF BANANAS!! - Duration: 11:50.

Good morning.

We came to the Legazpi Sunday Market.

We are so hungry that we're gonna eat something.

They're rice balls.

It's Okonomiyaki.

Take a look at bean sprouts.

They're completely different from them in Japan.

They're thin.

That's amazing.

Do you want to eat Filipino food?

Taya: I'd love to.

Taya: It's good.

Fumiya: It's great.

Fumiya: Do you like it?

Fumiya: There is a big dog over there.

Taya: What a big dog.

Fumiya: It is bigger than me.

Fumiya: Which do you want to buy?

Fumiya: You should choose one.

Taya: I'll get it.

Fumiya: You can take it a banana from a bunch of bananas by hand.

Taya: Really?

Taya: It's good.

Fumiya: I don't understand because I don't like bananas.

But, I heard from Japanese that bananas in the Philippines are much more delicious than them in Japan.

So, I'm going to have Taya eat a banana today.

Taya: I have to eat it because of him😂

Fumiya: That's why, we bought a banana.

But we're eating lunch before he eats a banana.

It's the first time to eat Filipino food since I came to the Philippines this time.

It's hot.

Taya: What?

Itadakimasu.

Fumiya: It's so good.

It's super delicious.

Taya: I like it.

Fumiya: It's a bit salty, though.

Taya: Is soy sauce into it?

Fumiya: Yeah.

Taya: I didn't know that.

Fumiya: It seems like it's a Japanese food.

Taya: Right.

Fumiya: I always feel like adobo tastes like Japanese traditional dishes.

I think most Japanese people like it.

It tastes like nuts.

Kaldereta I've eaten in japan is quite different from this.

Taya: I think so too.

Taya: Shut up😂

Taya: It's good.

Fumiya: I love Adobo.

Taya: I feel like I'd keep on eating rice forever.

Fumiya: The rice is really great, isn't it?

Fumiya: I guess most of Japanese don't like rice in the Philippines because of dry.

But, I like it very much.

Taya: Really? I think Japanese also like it.

Fumiya: I've thought that Japanese are not a big fan of Thai rice.

Taya: Do you always cook rice hard?

Fumiya: That's right.

Taya: If so, you must like it.

Fumiya: I always cook rice hard like this and eat in Japan.

That's why, I love it.

Fumiya: But, Japanese rice is more beautiful.

Taya: For sure.

Taya: It tastes like very Japanese. What was this?

Fumiya: Adobo is one of the most famous traditional Filipino foods.

Do you like it?

This is a pork Adobo, but you can eat a chicken Adobo here.

I want to make Adobo at home.

Fumiya: Which do you like better Adobo or Kaldereta?

Taya: It's tough for me to choose one, but I like Adobo better.

It tastes like a Japanese food, so I'm familiar with such a taste.

Taya: I'm a bit scared to eat a banana.

Fumiya: Why?

Taya: Because how to sell bananas in the Philippines was totally different from in Japan.

Fumiya: True.

Taya: Bananas are in plastic bags at Japanese super markets.

I was surprised that bananas were on the desk directly.

That's why I'm scared.

Fumiya: But bananas are one of the most famous stuffs in the Philippines.

Taya: Yeah. In addition, we've eaten bananas from the Philippines even in Japan.

Fumiya: In fact, most of bananas which we can buy in Japan are from the Philippines.

I'm sure it's better to eat bananas here.

I've never eaten them, though😂

You should try.

Taya: It's so yellow, isn't it?

Fumiya: I'm curious about what it's like.

It looks good, but I can't try it because I don't like bananas.

So, if you eat it, I'll know whether it's good or not.

Taya: Itadakimasu.

It smells awesome.

It's really great!

Fumiya: Really?

Taya: It's excellent.

I love it.

Fumiya: Seriously?

Taya: It's the best banana I've ever eaten.

Fumiya: Is it really that good?

Taya: Yeah.

Fumiya: Is it different from Japanese one?

Taya: Basically, it's the same.

Fumiya: What's the difference?

Taya: It's softer than Japanese one.

Fumiya: It's ripe, isn't it?

Taya: It seems like it hasn't been a long time since they picked the bananas.

This is the difference between here and in Japan.

Fumiya: Bananas in the Philippines can grow well thanks to the sunlight.

Taya: Yeah. That's why, it's ripe perfectly.

Fumiya: Its color is really different from bananas we can see in Japan.

Taya: Do you want to eat?

Fumiya: No thanks.

Taya: Why?

Fumiya: I don't want it.

Taya: I think people who are not fond of bananas like you can eat it.

Fumiya: I don't think so because it's just a banana.

No way.

Taya: Its taste is really different from bananas you ate before in Japan.

Fumiya: I definitely can't eat it.

Taya: Why?

Fumiya: It's an authentic banana.

Taya: Do you mean it tastes stronger?

Fumiya: Exactly.

Taya: Well, you should have a bite.

Fumiya: No thanks.

Taya: Why not?

Taya: It tastes really great.

Fumiya: It tastes not good😂

Taya: Don't you feel it's good?

Fumiya: It tastes strong.

And it's soft.

Fumiya: I don't want anymore.

Fumiya: I don't like some fruits, so please give me a break.

Taya: I love it.

Fumiya: I'm willing to eat Balut, but I don't want to eat fruits.

He finished eating all.

Taya: Gochisosamadesita.

Fumiya: We had a great time.

Fumiya: How was it? Do you like the banana?

Taya: The taste still lingers on my tongue.

Fumiya: It's a rich banana taste, isn't it?

Taya: Yeah.

Fumiya: We're gonna go to some places in the Philippines after this.

We want to eat some foods and experience many cultures.

I'm sure you'll like the Philippines.

Buddhism Takes Hold | History of Japan 26 - Duration: 6:09.

After Buddhism came to Japan in the Asuka Period, this foreign religion became like

your girlfriend when you switch her TV channel to a football game.

It blew up.

The upper class in Japan couldn't get enough of this hot new religion started by a starving

guy with groovy hair.

The Japanese used to build impressive burial mounds called kofun.

They were huge symbols of power for the clan chieftains buried underneath.

As Buddhism got more popular, these kofun got smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller

until they stopped building them altogether.

It turned out that large, lively Buddhist temples commanded much more respect and awe

than burial mounds.

In a way, the temples replaced burial mounds as a source of bragging rights.

Temples were often created after the death of important clan chieftains.

It made sense, instead of a burial mound, I'd rather have a temple built in my honor

where people can come from faraway to visit and worship and secretly cheat on their spouses.

Yeah, that happened.

People were away from home and familiar eyes, you think they wouldn't bone?

When looking at the spread of Buddhism, we must remember that it wasn't just about

religion, it was also about politics.

Buddhism was used by many sides to bolster their power.

One of those sides was the Soga clan.

They championed the adoption of Buddhism in Japan and used it as a way to gain authority.

Under Soga patronage, Buddhist worship was not all that different from the native worship

that the Japanese believed in.

Buddhist temples held religious rites that promised benefits in this world, and they

performed rituals honoring dead ancestors.

Both practices were common in kami worship.

What helped Buddhism spread quickly was its doctrine of Ooh Shiny!

You see, Buddhist worship used religious objects imported from advanced, faraway lands.

These objects had an air of wonder and mystery, and made people think they could perform powerful

magic.

At the time, the emperor was the spiritual leader of kami worship.

This gave the Imperial Family serious spiritual power, which translates into serious influence

in the real world.

The Soga hungered for that influence.

They thought that if the Japanese court adopted Buddhism, since they were the chief clan associated

with Buddhism, they could end up at the top.

Maybe even above the emperor, if Buddhism were to somehow supplant kami worship.

Unfortunately for the Soga, their constant promotion of the gospel worked too well.

Empress Suiko's second-in-command, Prince Shotoku, embraced the Buddhist philosophy.

No, he bear-hugged it.

The student had become the master.

He was even more devout than the Soga leaders.

At the time, Prince Shotoku was taking steps to change Japan from a loose collection of

clans into a centralized state, but it's not clear where he thought Buddhism fit into

his plans.

It could be that he saw it as religious support for his new government.

Buddhism was friendly to the idea of a state with a strong leader.

Or it could be that he elevated Buddhism above all else.

It transcended worldly affairs and they needed to adopt it because everyone should accept

the truth of Buddhism.

Either way, he was devout.

And his son, Prince Yamashiro, did not fall far from the Bodhi tree.

This helps us understand why the Soga blocked Prince Yamashiro's butt from touching the

throne.

The Soga leaders feared that the Buddhists would rally around the Imperial Family instead

of the Soga clan.

It's a testament to Yamashiro's faith, or foolishness, that he refused to fight for

his own candidacy.

Shotoku, on his deathbed, preached to his children:

"Avoid every kind of evil and practice every kind of good."

Yamashiro cited his father's words and said he would be patient, not angry.

Well, he would be dead, it turned out.

Something he didn't consider apparently.

After the Soga fell from grace in 645, their fears came true.

The Imperial Family drove the spread of Buddhism, taking patronage of Buddhist temples away

from the Soga.

It was a time of political change, when the Imperial Family was trying to forge a powerful

centralized government.

Temples and Buddhist worship became a way to increase state authority, like in China

and Korea.

Buddhist leaders at this time gave lip service to Buddhist teachings, but mostly concerned

themselves with ceremonies that were supposed to grant real-world benefits.

They focused more on public spectacles and making impressive statues and art.

The Japanese emperors faced an interesting problem balancing Buddhist and kami worship.

The emperor's spiritual authority came from the fact that he or she was the high priest

of kami worship.

Promote Buddhism too much and it may replace the native religion, which would demolish

a key pillar of their power.

They needed the two religions to coexist.

When emperor Tenmu came to power in 672, he made his own contributions.

He paid stipends to Buddhist priests and nuns, and hosted Buddhist retreats at the Imperial

palace.

Across Japan, Buddhist leaders gave speeches on sutras that propped up the state.

Tenmu expanded the state temple system to the provinces, and ordered Buddhist chapels

to be built in the homes of every aristocrat and local official.

They were required to worship, make offerings regularly, and once a month shove a figurine

of Buddha down their throats repeatedly, for enlightenment.

Tenmu was mainly concerned with strengthening the state, but he did personally worship the

healing Buddha, or the Medicine Buddha, who was a Buddhist figure that could heal the

sick.

He even had a temple built to honor him.

When Tenmu fell sick, he must have gained some comfort in praying to the Medicine Buddha.

Tenmu died from his illness, but worship of the Medicine Buddha spread and became an important

part of Buddhism in Japan.

By the end of the Asuka Period, Buddhism had taken hold and would forever be a part of

Japanese culture.

How Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Changed In Japan - Duration: 3:48.

This video is brought to you by NordVPN.

Start protecting yourself on the web by using the link below and save 66%!

If you want to learn more about VPNs, we also actually made a whole video explaining how

they work.

I will include a link to that in the description as well, so you can check that out if you're

interested in learning more!

The eagerly awaited Red Dead Redemption 2 recently released for fans all across the

world, however, it turns out that not all regions around the world received the same

version of the game.

As is made clear by the ESRB's very long rating summary, for which it earned an ESRB M rating,

Rockstar's follow-up to the 2010 western gun slinging adventure is by no means a tame experience.

Due to its content, the Japanese versions of the game have had to have several changes

made and this is despite it receiving the max Z rating from Japan's CERO rating system,

meaning 18 years and over.

The Japanese rating system has rules in place which prohibit certain types of graphic content,

even if games are assigned with the max rating.

Violent content is one of these areas that can run into issues over in Japan and this

can be seen with the Japanese version of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Whilst dismemberment is possible in the Japanese version, the body parts simply explode and

vanish.

In the English versions, limbs will detach from the body and stay onscreen.

Textures also differ between versions, with the Japanese versions no longer showing bones,

internal organs and other gory details.

These restrictions on violence also interfere with some other elements of the game, such

as the Stranger Mission "American Dreams".

This mission sees you going on a long quest to track down a serial killer, and is a bit

like a puzzle as you find random disfigured corpses within the game's world and then cryptic

messages around the victims.

As well as the messages, you will be able to find the corpses' heads located nearby

and within each of their mouths is a piece of a map, which you need to try and locate

the killer.

In the Japanese versions though, the corpses are no longer missing body parts and all of

the other gory details, such as internal organs, are no longer shown.

Despite this however, the corpse's heads are still located in the same places - with map

in mouth.

This is despite the corpses' not missing their heads when you find them.

It isn't just violence though that runs into issues over in Japan.

Whilst simply suggestive content is ok to be shown in Japan, things like explicit nudity

is not allowed to be shown in games rated by the Japanese rating system.

This means that wherever you can see things like explicit nudity in the game, the Japanese

version will have had to make changes.

For instance, in the Japanese version of the brothel scene where you get drunk with Larry,

the women you walk in are fully dressed - whilst in the English versions they are wearing no

clothes at all.

There are 2 of these NPCs that you can walk in on with both being changed to fully dressed

over in Japan.

However, sometimes suggestive content will be changed in Japan even when no explicit

content is shown.

This means that a scene in the game where a guy has his trousers pulled down and is

threatened with castration unless he tells them what they want had to have edits as well.

In the Japanese version, the scene is kept the same, but when the character performs

the action of pulling his trousers down, his trousers simply stay in place.

This makes the animation, as well as the characters' reactions somewhat confusing in the Japanese

version and also means you will no longer be able to see any of his bare skin.

How Japan maintains itself as the leader in Judo | Land of Legends - Duration: 9:03.

The spirit of judo. I think the spirit of judo and

the spirit of the Japanese are similar. They are connected.

(SINCE THE OLYMPIC GAMES TOKYO 1964 WHEN JUDO MADE ITS

(OLYMPIC DEBUT, JAPANESE JUDOKA HAVE WON 39 GOLD MEDALS.

(FRANCE, ITS NEAREST RIVAL, HAS WON 14)

(39 GOLD

(19 SILVER

(20 BRONZE)

(LAND OF LEGENDS ASIA PACIFIC)

It's all about beauty.

If you try to argue which country is better than which,

you will see that there are a lot of

judoka around the world that win by ippon

and just a lot of really good judoka out there in general.

But what I think sets us apart

is the beauty of Japanese judo matches.

I say this because we place a lot of

importance on basics from a very young age.

We practise the basics dozens of times, hundreds of times.

But not only just practise it, we practise

to get it more beautiful and effective.

It becomes ingrained in our bodies.

So when something happens in a match,

my body can naturally react without me having to think.

So I would say that the link between judo,

kabuki,

tea ceremony,

calligraphy

is the Japanese way of teaching,

which is this method of replication.

And you basically watch the teacher do the motion

and then you replicate the motion.

And you do this again and again and again.

This is why I think the Japanese are so good at judo

and have been, even though judo has become internationalised.

It's because they will practise uchi-komi,

which is basically fitting in and practising the throws

a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times.

From the age of six years old to the age of 16,

how many thousands of repetitions?

And this is how you perfect your technique in judo.

And in the other arts, whether they're the

fine arts or tea, it's the same idea

of repetition to perfection.

The difference between Japanese judo training

and other countries' training styles

is probably first and foremost

the amount of time spent training.

Last year, I went on a short judo exchange trip to Slovenia.

They were different

in that they practised a lot of different things

in very short periods of time.

They practise a lot, but it is short training.

In Japan, we practise for long periods

and the amount of training we do is a lot more.

This is the biggest difference.

I think the strengths of the Japanese is our

ability to continuously do repetitions.

We do the same technique repeatedly

because it's very important to do so.

Our parents were quite strict when they were raising us.

It was very tough, with long hours of training.

But it taught us about endurance and perseverance.

I think there are strengths

that can only be found in Japanese judoka.

Whenever I fight against overseas competitors,

I notice things like their differences

in power and their reach.

For example, Chinese judoka are extremely strong

and Korean judoka are very fast.

And I realised that because Japanese are also Asian,

that we can also be just as strong and just as speedy.

And then, when you compare us to European judoka,

I realised that Japanese judoka have been

learning judo from a very young age.

Inside that power, there is softness.

I also feel that the way we move our centre of gravity

is a lot more delicate when compared with others.

So the strength of the Japanese is that

we are able to utilise and make use of these points.

In 2013, I went to Sao Paulo in Brazil to study.

Compared to Japan, the Brazilians trained

intensely for very short periods of time.

They would then rest for two minutes

and then go at it intensely again.

There was a lot of this kind of training.

The Brazilians' explosive power is incredible,

and the physical ability they possess is amazing.

For Japanese, it is more of a case of being persistent

rather than trying to develop explosive power.

Patience, endurance and stamina are our strengths.

That's the big difference for me.

I think for the Japanese in terms of the Olympics,

judo is really important because, first thing,

it really represents the Japanese culturally.

And then, when you look at the medal haul,

you realise that they've had great success.

Now you do have Olympics where the

Japanese had really bad results.

One of them would be London,

where they only won one gold medal.

And there was some consternation.

"Has judo changed?

"Why did we not win more medals?"

And so it really gets to the heart of the Japanese identity

if they can't pull a lot of medals in judo.

Make no mistake about it, the level of

world judo right now is extremely high.

It is much harder for Japanese to win a gold now

than when I was an Olympic athlete.

For us Japanese, the lack of

medals at the 2012 London Olympics

should never have happened.

It was the first time a Japanese male

judoka failed to get gold at the Olympics.

So, having said that,

we decided to start trying new things.

We started over from scratch, rethinking everything.

Tackling one thing at a time, we were hell-bent

on fixing everything and learning from our mistakes.

For example, when we looked at new methods of training,

we analysed other countries and their techniques,

and also how they train.

We took what we thought was useful and

incorporated it into our training.

For example, Russian people have a sambo backbone,

so we studied this a little.

We stopped thinking that, because judo is Japanese,

we don't need to learn other things.

One by one, we would like to put these

things into our Japanese judo culture.

This is one example of what we did after London.

It has been a long time since Japan hosted the Olympics.

The Japanese people have high expectations.

We take pride in the fact that judo is Japanese

and we will put this on the line.

We will show people the model which to aim for.

In doing this, we are sure to produce good performances

and, in turn, show the beauty of judo.

If we are able to show high quality techniques,

it won't matter if you are an amateur or a professional,

the beauty of judo will surely touch your heart.

I had quite a disappointing Rio Olympics,

quite a feeling of regret.

So the 2020 Olympics is the stage for me

to forget my poor 2016 Olympic showing.

The next Olympics is being held

in Tokyo and this makes me happy.

I will definitely win the gold medal in Tokyo.

We have to show the world that we are the best at judo.

At the 2020 Olympics, I want to stand up and be recognised,

and let everyone know who Hifumi Abe is.

by dominating and winning gold.

We know we are not untouchable any more.

We need to evolve and progress.

I know we will.

Can Girls FART in JAPAN? We asked Japanese boys. - Duration: 7:19.

If I like a girl, everything will be cute about her.

When a girl starts feeling like its not embarrassing to do that in front of me.

Hey guys it's Cathy Cat. This time we are gonna ask Japanese boys about girls here in Japan.

When do they have the feeling that the girls is getting a bit too comfortable around them...

Is that when girls allow themselves to sneeze really loudly or is it

when maybe oops accidentally did a little fartie.

That is a very random topic that our director decided to ask today...

So we are gonna go out on the streets of Tokyo and Ask Japanese boys about it.

Furthermore, don't forget to hid the subscribe button for more videos

from us and don't forget to click on the notification symbol. Let's go and ask Japanese boys.

You are dating a girl... you are getting closer...

and then the girl is taking her barriers down and...

when she does that, what is cuter in your opinion?

1 a wild sneeze is getting ok

2 oops... I did a little fart... sorry.

Which one is cuter? If it is at all...

Sneeze won. A sneeze is cute?

I think they are....

but there are different types. A normal sneeze and a

huge one. I guess they all exist.

But if I like a girl, I will like everything about her.

Sneeze... how cute. - Nah that's too much.

Too much. - Sneezes are fine but farts...

You can fart after you marry. - Depends on the place.

You can do that at home but not outside.

If that happened in a store, I would be embarrassed for the people around us. - True.

So farting only after marriage. - Yes.

When you hear a girl sneeze in Japan, do they try to hold back?

You never hear a big sneeze. I have NEVER.

They turn around and sneeze quietly.

But big sneezes are not happening. All girls hide their sneezes.

When do you feel that a girl is letting her guard down in front of you?

When a girl cries in front of me....

Well crying in front of people is embarrassing....

but when a girl watches a movie and cries ...

then I feel like the is letting me into her heart more.

I think so. - When you are not close yet...

girls generally try to hide the way they laugh.

But when you are close, they dare to laugh out loudly too.

That's when I know we became closer.

When is a fart ok?

Yes it's fine... girls...

they are very worried about it...

when they feel save enough to fart...

that's when they really let their barrier down...

I think so. - I think many girls hide things about themselves.

Hiding things ....

that isn't good. They should just sneeze out loud. I forgive them.

If girls make a weird hidden sneeze

I don't think more or less of any type of sneeze. Sneeze away.

Do girls in Japan hide sneezes and such a lot?

Generally in public they do. - Girls are very aware of their surroundings.

What do you do with farts? When do they become ok?

How many month dating would allow that?

Whenever is fine really. I don't care.

Japanese girls seem to care a lot about other people's opinions. What can they do

that makes you feel like they trust you more?

When they stick to me instead of staying further away.

Once they hold on to me. - Like your t-shirt?

Things like that. Some way of touching my body.

Once they come closer I know. - Wild sneezes...

are kind of cute. Why? - If it is just a sneeze that is fine.

Sneezes are normal. They are cute.

And wild sneezes? - Totally fine. - I think it's funny.

Funny? So what do we do with farts? When does that become ok?

After 3 months. - I don'T care.

After a few days is ok. I don't care.

When do you feel girls are letting their guard down?

When we go out just the two of us.

So they don't invite other girls. - When they say selfish things...

that's when I know we are getting closer.

Things like "I want some water...." - Yeah.

Those were all our questions. Thank you so much,

Ok guys which is cuter a girl with a wild sneeze and a girl that can fart... what you think director?

You can point to it.

Really? You think that's cute? That's a topic when I thought....

I am not sure what kind of responses we are gonna get for that. The director brought it though and

apparently you are on the farty side... means that the girl trusts you enough to....

yes... anyways. How about you? Sneezes and farts...\

what is the one that you actually think when you got comfortable with each other...

and you don't mind your partner doing that. Actually sneezes is not so bad

not something you can really control I guess...

Some people are more forgiving than others and said "Please don't fart until we're married."

Which I think is absolutely adoring.... Can you STOP making farty noises

Stop it! ... Hope you enjoyed this video. There are more videos

don't forget to hit the subscribe button. We are gonna try and upload almost every

day now, and also don't forger to click on the notification symbol because...

some of the videos might not get recommened to you because it's not clicked on. Be sure to do that.

Entire Japanese island disappears as government launches rescue mission - Daily News - Duration: 2:21.

 A search mission has been launched off the coast of Japan after an entire island disappeared

 The uninhabited islet of Esanbehanakitakojima was used to delineate Japan's territorial waters

 It was located about 500 meters off the coast of Sarufutsu village near the northern tip of Hokkaido

 It is one of 158 uninhabited islands that were given names by the country's government in 2014 to clearly mark Japanese territorial waters

 Under international laws, islands can be designated as such only if they can be seen above the sea surface even in high tides

 If Esanbehanakitakojima has sunk beneath the surface, Japanese territorial waters will shrink

 According to the Japan Coast Guard, Esanbehanakitakojima was surveyed in 1987.  Records show the islet jutted 1

4meters above the average sea level.  The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan described the islet on its map based on a sea chart created in 1988

 Tomoo Fujii, a senior official of the coast guard, told reporters: "There is a possibility that the islet has been eroded by wind and snow and, as a result, disappeared

"  The coast guard plans to investigate the area also to ensure safe navigation of vessels

Metal Detecting with Japan Treasure Hunters - Noyamakita Koen Rokudon - Duration: 9:24.

Hey welcome to Japan Treasure Hunters I'm Jonathan Lucas and today we

are in Noyamakita Koen Rokudon this place is really truly amazing it's it's

a good historical place and as you see if there's lots of customers flying

around and so yeah it's totally great. Today we're gonna go do some metal

detecting on the outside of this place once we get done doing a little tour and

so please stay tuned for that so I'm ready to do it so let's let's roll.

So this place is amazing as you can see there's lots of rice fields and these

rice fields have been here forever. The building that we were in was just

put in about eighteen years ago but all this was here for probably like hundreds

and hundreds of years. So it would be lovely to be able to go down there and

detect on the sides or something but it's not my property and they probably

won't give me permission anyway. So we got a few other spots that we're gonna

head up there here we go. Here we're getting another

Another hook. Looks like looks like they had a lot of chains up here trying to

keep people out. Maybe is it haunted. We did notice though that all of our

electronical devices when we came up here we all had problems getting them

started or or getting them yeah actually getting them started so who knows what's up.

It's not too shallow yeah it's another piece of the chain yeah probably

yeah. So if you look on the little stands right here looks like it was a chain

that was wrapped around. We're at a little shrine here Sayama shrine

I think that's the name of it it's really kind of cool is put here probably

about a hundred years ago if if not maybe a little bit longer. Obviously it has

not been up kept too well, so maybe we can find something around here and you

know if we do we'll just leave it here for for the gods to enjoy our our finds

All right so I got a pretty good tone here and as you can see I dug a little

bit first so I just wanted to finish up just in case because we're down pretty

deep so usually the deeper the better. yeah I brought it out maybe. Oh here it

is oh look at that! One of my favorite coins

the Kanei Tsuho. These were mass-produced before 1883 so I'm so I

can range from 1627 to 1883 the year on it. Still that's pretty freakin awesome.

I love these old coins

So it looks like we got another one yen.

If I can get it to show you another one yen coin.

That's cool.

Hey well today was a great day weather's been fantastic the trails were nice and

as you can see we did find a few good items here. Why don't we start out with

the trash because that's most important I guess so so to begin with I got a soda

can it looks like an orange soda can Miranda. I've never heard of it before

so that's kind of cool cuz that's actually in really good shape for being

as old as it is and of course one of these pull tabs is more likely from the

can. Then I found an another coffee can here this one's not sold because it's

got a regular tab on it and then I found some chain links, found at square nail

then it looks like a part part of a chain possibly be that then another

broken chain and then just a big piece of I don't know.

Well the good finds of the day which I can't wait get into, is this is a 10 yen

right here I can tell us that 10 yen because it because looks like

copper on the backside and when I get home I am able to clean it up I'll show

you that one. Found 100 yen it it's not that old I don't think now, actually yeah

it looks like it's old but again once I get that cleaned up and I'll show you.

Then here's one that's really cool it is a gojyu sen and it's real tiny one but

it's really really beat up and I can't really see the date on it so well again

I get home I'll clean it up. This is the cool one of the day this is

a one sin from 1882 so as you can see it kind of makes no sense to have a big

coin for less than a small coin, I don't know maybe if you have an idea let me know in

the comments below and then my favorite coin of all the Kanei Tsuho

now this can be from 1627 up to 1867 1867 yeah

once 1867 came that's when they started to make these type of coins in the Meiji

era. Oh so this one's really cool I can't

tell you exactly the date because it's it's really chewed up too but it pretty

cool.

So overall we had a great day we found you know a lot of trash and there's a

lot more trash that I didn't show that we found but overall is a great day and

I will catch you later.
