Auto news on Youtube Jan 31 2019

My name is Hayley and I'm 27. I'm from Memphis Tennessee in America so I've

been in Tokyo for a little over a year and a half I arrived in April 2017 with

Go! Go! Nihon I attended Kai Japanese Language school in Shin Okubo.

I loved it, I really loved Kai. I had such a good experience there. The main reason

that I decided to go there was because all the great reviews I saw online and

honestly my experience totally fits in with that and a lot of people that I went

to school with there also agree so I've had a really great experience there.

I met a lot of really cool people. After finishing the 9-month language course at Kai,

I decided to go job hunting. That was really important for me and was

actually my original goal when I decided to move to Tokyo, so yeah I'm really happy that I found

a job here now. So my company is called From Japan. We are a bidding and shopping

proxy service which basically means that we help people outside of Japan get

things that are exclusive to Japan. So my role at From Japan is in the marketing

department. I do a few things within the marketing department. I write copy for

our Facebook, I also make some of the images - the product images that you would

see on our Facebook. Some of those images also make it to our Instagram and

Twitter, which I also manage and I also make appearances in YouTube videos on our

YouTube channel.

Aside from those I also do some SEO copywriting for our website. I use

Japanese at work. The social media things - everything I just mentioned - is in

English because our customers are outside of Japan so that would mean that

all of the content that I'm making is in English but as for any communication

that I do within my office that is in Japanese. Most of my co-workers are

Japanese, all of the communication that goes on in my office is in Japanese. I

think the nine months that I did at Kai really helped me with my job because I

speak so much Japanese there. You know, I think any kind of formal Japanese

education that you can get will always give you more structure and for me it

definitely brought my Japanese to a level where I could be in an environment

like that and have so many conversations in Japanese. I found my job online, an

online job ad that I applied to and the job ad was actually in English and Japanese,

kind of the same thing, the same information in both languages and I

applied in English, they got back to me in English and all of our communication

was in English. I got an interview and then all the way up until that point I

was speaking to them in English, right. I arrived for the interview and it was in

Japanese. Honestly the thing that I would tell people that want to be language

students in Japan is that you can do it because I find that a lot of people

have this secret desire to come to Japan to study Japanese in Japan, to work in

Japan and I think that a lot of people wait years and they're really afraid to

make that jump and they think that it takes years worth of preparation

and I think some people don't even see it as a possibility. So the advice that I

would give them is that you can do it it's a matter of just taking it one step

at a time. All you need to do is just ask yourself

okay what do I need to do? What's the first step that I can do right now? You

know doing my research and a friend recommended Go! Go! Nihon to me and it

was really, that was just the beginning, that's where it all started. So I hope

this has helped you somehow, just me sharing my experience. If you want to buy cool

things from Japan please check out fromjapan.co.jp. If you're interested in

studying or working in Japan I highly recommend Go! Go! Nihon. I had a great

experience with them. Yeah honestly, just know that you can do it.

Umino… Yoshida…

It's definitely worthwhile for me to face you two.

翔太、吉田、良い勝負だったよな。おめでとう。 辻を助けられなかったが。

In your match against EVIL and SANADA, in Osaka, good luck fellas.

So, this was our first win together.

Although one of our opponents was Shota's junior, Tsuji,

It still means a lot for us to get this first win.

We want to use this as a launchpad. So, please, keep your eyes on us.

Yoshida, thanks.

Thanks.

Like Yoshida said, this was our first win together.

It doesn't matter if we bet a mentor or junior, this gives us confidence, going forward.

We are the future of pro-wrestling.

S. Korean court upholds lower court's decision and orders Japanese firm to compensate.. - Duration: 0:53.

More rulings on Japan's forced labor of South Koreans are coming out.

Seoul District Court on Wednesday upheld a ruling from 2016, ordering Nachi-Fujikoshi

to compensate 5 South Korean women forced to work during World War Two.

The Japanese machinery manufacturer was ordered to pay 89-thousand U.S. dollars to each of

the plaintiffs.

The victims were brought to Japan and were forced to work at the firm's munitions factory

without pay or sufficient food.

A similar ruling was made in another appeal by that company last week against an 88-year-old

South Korean plaintiff.

Many of these rulings had been made years ago,... but the Japanese firms' appeals had

been pushed back, something that's under investigation locally.

With South Korea's Supreme Court ordering Nippon Steel & Sumitomo to compensate its

victims last October, many lower courts have been following suit.

Road to THE NEW BEGINNING - Night 4 (January 30) Post Match Interview [7th match] - Duration: 4:52.

Coach! Will we have comments from the winners?

Reporter, here...

No, no, you're a wrestler.

We have the new NEVER 6 man champions, Taguchi Japan, with us...

That's you.

He's doing double duty.

Toru Yano...

How was the match, tonight?

It was hard to read Coach's signs.

I didn't use any signs.

Congratulations, Togi Makabe.

In the end, coach Taguchi made all the right calls.

Thank you very much.

Good answer.

Thank you.

I'm from here, Miyagi...

And the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight champion, Taiji Ishimori,

He's also from Miyagi, unfortunately.

We'll fight for the Junior title on February 11th, in Osaka, as we both represent Miyagi.

We'll see which one of us from Miyagi is stronger.

We'll see who deserves to be in The Sailor Boys.

We'll decided that in Osaka.

Thank you very much.

Does Ishimori even want to return to The Sailor Boys?

So, now, finally… To everyone here in Sendai Sun Plaza…

I really like you!

この状況をポジティブに考えれば 俺たち長い保持記録を作っただろ？

ノー！

タマ！しっかりしろ！

俺たちバレットクラブだ！ ヒール軍団だぞ！

俺はもうバッド・ガイは ご免なんだよ。

あいつらが石森に何したか見てなかったのか？ あいつ怪我したかもしれないぞ！

一体お前は何のつもりだ？

新年だから、グッド・ガイに 生まれ変わりたいだけなんだよ！

もうバッド・ガイは嫌なんだ！

The signs and the interview? No idea!

We've got this!

Let me say this again, once we get a chance, we make it happen.

And what I'm about to say isn't lip service,

Today's victory was because of coach Taguchi's perfect play calling, in his hometown.

Taguchi Japan will take off from here. We'll flip everything.

I'm a man of my word.

I'm not going to let anyone talk crap about us anymore.

Ah, coach… Go ahead.

Finally, we were able to bring the NEVER 6 man titles back to Taguchi Japan.

I'm filled with joy right now.

First of all...

I was able to make Taiji Ishimori tap out...

That means a lot.

I'll keep riding this momentum, towards Osaka.

It's like I'm going to explode.

I've got to find a release.

I'll let it out. For sure. It's all coming out.

There is a back and forth, and I have to let it out.

I'll release.

I didn't even let my guard down...

In Sapporo, this won't happen again.

On those two days, I will finish you guys. Believe me.

4 days left until the InterContinental championship match in Sapporo.

Winter in Sapporo is unpredictable, right? I guess Taichi will do something, huh?

What will it be? I wonder what it is?

However… Nothing really is going to happen, right?

I know that he gets us all excited, but nothing is going to happen.

But for those coming to Sapporo, don't worry,

It will be the second giant L.I.J roll call in Hokkaido.

Please scream as loud as you like.

Until those 2 cold days in Sapporo… Tranquilo...

Assennayo.

Adios.

グッジョブ。良くやった。

EVIL、お前本気でやってるのか？

俺たちまるで強豪サッカーチーム

クソ！サッカーじゃない。 フットボールだ。

お前たちは日曜の公園で 仲良く練習してるチームみたいだな。

EVIL's pretty dumb, huh?

He thought he overpowered us, then only got a 2 count. So close to a win.

Did you think you were playing a fighting video game?

We are real humans, battle-hardened.

Dumbass.

This isn't Fire Pro Wrestling. He's just a fatty, isn't he?

This isn't a fighting video game. You don't get to win just because you play a lot.

In the end... In the end, who got the 1-2-3?

Who got the win? It was this man, Zack Sabre Jr.

Who was it?

Suzuki-gun-

No! Zack Sabre Jr.!

In Sapporo, EVIL, SANADA, come at us.

There are no blind spots for me and Zack.

道場から鍛え直したらどうだ。

Look at my body. It's getting blacker every day. Every single day...

My body gets more and more jet-black,

With all the hate and anger on my shoulders…

I'm filled with resentment for Japón-gun.

You don't know what's going to happen when I get darker than Shigeru Matsuzaki.

My body is in top condition. Does any part of my body look bad to you?

I'm fired up.

Naito, I know that much of you is worn out. Please get in better shape for Sapporo.

Let's face each other in top condition, okay?

I don't want to hear Japón fans making excuses, if you whine that this and that hurts.

So, come to Sapporo in great condition. I will let you live until then.

Exciting, huh?

Nobu, sorry. You had to save me.

Crap.

I saw it, Takagi's doing great, huh?

It's rare that Nobu is in this much pain.

Use your brain. This is that kind of fight.

You saw what I did? I'll use anything I have to in Sapporo, too.

You'll likely make another mistake next time, too.

Dumbass.

I'll admit that you have great power and speed,

You have great stamina, too. But that doesn't mean that you'll beat us.

BUSHI! I was surprised! See what happens when you try!

Payback for this, well...

I'll make you pay big for doing this to me.

And the interest is very high. It may just ruin you, bastard.

Ten times, twenty times more, it still won't be enough.

I'll pay you back for this humiliation, without a doubt.

And then, we'll be champions again.

Desperado, Kanemaru, knock this crap off!

Truthfully, today's singles matches, they don't really matter.

It all comes down to Sapporo.

Desperado, I did rip your disgusting mask off.

Don't think you will get away in Sapporo, again. We'll be victorious.

What the hell, Kanemaru?

You run off because you're afraid to get pinned by me?

Sure, my neck hurts. My legs hurt.

However, since I've come this far, I won't run off.

I'll leave it all in the ring, come our title match in Sapporo.

Japanese Food in Bangkok - NO TOFU, NO LIFE - World's First TOFU OMAKASE Experience! - Duration: 19:34.

- Hey everyone, I hope you're having an amazing day.

It's Mark Wiens.

I am in Bangkok, Thailand.

And tonight for dinner,

my friend P'Tan invited me over to Mihara Tofuten,

Thailand's first all tofu omakase.

So it's dish by dish, piece by piece chef's table.

And this will be a totally new dining experience.

(upbeat music)

No tofu, no life.

(upbeat music)

When you step in,

to this little, this little courtyard,

it's like a little Japanese oasis.

So outside of the door it's Bangkok.

Inside the door you really do feel like you're in Japan.

The little garden.

(upbeat music)

(greeting in a foreign language)

- [Server] It's roasted tea.

It's nice and naughty.

It's got little flavor

almost like iron, a little bloody minerality.

Very nice to get the palette going.

- [Mark] Welcome tea, and this is a,

it helps as it cleanse the palette.

(light upbeat music)

Kind of has a bitter aroma to it.

You can taste the roasted flavor,

but it's very, very light.

Very light tasting.

(Japanese music)

- [Mark] 15 dishes?

- [Server] Yes.

- [Mark] Okay.

When the drink is ready,

we're going to start to serve the food.

Enjoy.

- Any meal that you can see

where the food is being prepared,

and then it is served to you course aby course.

As always that adds

another dimension of an eating experience.

It's going to be the tofu tasting course.

There are 15 different dishes.

So 15 dishes all including tofu.

And I ordered some tea.

- And there's some

- Oh, that's your tea.

(both laughing)

- Yes, thank you.

- Okay, my tea is still on its way.

- Would you like to hear a little bit

about it first of all?

- [Mark] Yes, please. - Yeah?

- [Server] We are starting off with a oolong from Yaman,

a beautiful little prefecture

with some of the cleanest air in Japan.

Which for me, really,

is one of the most important things, frankly.

We don't wash away the first flush

like we would with Chinese tea.

(upbeat music)

- Wow it's like very, very,

green tasting.

Almost like,

almost has like a sea

taste to it, to me.

The first course is fresh homemade tofu.

Something I just learn right now

that she mentioned to us is that even the water

is brought from Japan.

The water comes from the,

as that has a big impact

on the taste.

- [Chef] It's from Saga. Saga.

- [Mark] Saga?

- [Chef] Yes, near Fukuoka, by the way.

- [Mark] Near Fukuoka - Yep.

- [Mark] And that's where the tofu,

command recipes come from here, right?

- [Chef] Of course.

- [Mark] Wow, that texture.

(chill beats)

That is so delicate.

You just kind of chew a couple times

and it just slides down

kind of like almost liquefies.

And then she unwraps the napkin

and there will be these little boxes inside

filled with delicacies.

So there is a three cart course.

(speaking foreign language)

- [Mark] I guess so.

I think I'll just put on the sauce.

- [Ying] You have to mix this a little bit

- [Mark] Oh yeah.

A little bit of sauce.

And then, that almost feels like a mozzarella.

I should use this spoon (laughs).

Yeah that's a good call, Ying, thanks.

That really does almost taste like mozzarella.

Like a fresh mozzarella.

That is amazing, I cannot believe that almost tastes like,

it really almost taste like mozzarella.

(both laughing)

I was about to come in with my spoon.

And I just like slid right up.

Sorry about that.

I had a little tofu splatter accident.

Tuna with the skin.

The yuba.

(speaking foreign language)

That's almost like a thin slice of cheese.

(chill beats)

It's just like

a world of different texture.

(speaking foreign language)

- [Mark] And then, yeah, I think this

you got to pick this up with your fingers.

Good, I got to see the menu.

What was that?

- [Server] Okara chips.

Chili con carne.

- [Mark] I was gonna say,

Okay, chili con carne.

It almost has a Mexican taste to it.

(upbeat music)

- [Server] It's our zuwai crab soup.

The crab is from Hokkaido, with a really light dashi.

- Okay, so I am also having a tea pairing

which is also very cool with this meal

because the food and then the tea

which is just gonna to complement of this samaliase.

like deciding and really like,

thoughtfully thinking about the tea

and how it'll pair with the dish.

We've got like a black tea here,

and then this is one of the, our waiter explained that,

this is one of the most umami dishes,

edamame ball,

which is a soybean ball,

and yuki tofu and dashi soup with zuwai crab.

Should this be eaten with a spoon, or the,

- [Ying] Eat with spoon.

- [Mark] Sure? - [Ying] Yeah.

- [Mark] Even with this?

- [Ying] You have to try your soup first, though.

- [Mark] Look at that. Okay I've got to try that first.

Oh man, that looks awesome.

Just feeling from the chopsticks can just feel

that incredible textures.

Soft and stuple.

Actually your chopsticks is kind of like fall through it.

Oh yeah, just breaks up.

Look at that.

(upbeat music)

That's like, whoa.

It's like unbelievably silky.

Spoon delicate.

'Cause it just sort of dissolves.

Okay, let's try that.

That ball.

(upbeat music)

It's so neutral tasting.

But at the same time,

you can taste the individual ingredients.

So I can taste the soybeans.

And then you taste that fragrance

of the slightly smoky crab,

an augment wrapped up in like 12 different textures

in your mouth all at the same time.

That's just like pure strands of crab.

It's the tea that goes with that.

(sniffing)

Almost like smoky cinnamon aroma to it.

Whoa. I really like smoky taste to it.

That's awesome.

- [Server] So we're going to go to,

we're going to taste the silver needles.

Exquisite and quite rare tea,

in the jasmine style.

Very very floral and delicate style of white tea.

It can be served hot, it can be served cold.

We did a cold extraction

and serving it cold on ice for you.

- [Mark] Okay the next course is tofu shirae melon gazpacho.

I am not sure it is meant to be a one biter,

but I originally try to get it on my,

balanced it on my chopsticks but, nope,

and a small spoon,

then chef came over and gave me a big spoon.

Now, there we go.

It's wobbly.

Cucumbers and carrots.

Which kind of burst out of the jelly foundation.

White tea with this course.

(chill beats)

- [Mark] Okay it tasted like some jasmine to it.

Kind of floral.

(upbeat music)

Ying thought this one was the best so far.

She already finished it.

(Ying laughs)

Kabayaki style grilled saury fish.

How do you eat it, Ying?

Did you like slice it in half? - [Ying] Nope I basically...

- [Mark] Can I just, curl up, okay, like that little rollup

But as soon as you do that you can see kind of like

the fat squeezing out,

Yeah, let me just,

you can just see the fat in there.

(upbeat music)

- [Ying] Eel, eel, eel, eel, eel, eel, ell, (laughs)

- Kind of like eel.

Not as fatty as eel, but yeah it's pretty fatty.

But that's what makes it so juicy and so incredibly good

like belly fish tasting and then roasted.

(plate squeaking)

A momen tofu

which she explained as a kind of a harder, a firmer tofu.

Like a aubergine eggplant cup.

And then like a yuzu, kind of like a citrus sauce.

(upbeat music)

That's awesome.

Bite into that.

And the tofu just kind of like juices.

So good.

(Ying laughs)

That's like, almost the texture of tofu.

Next dish is zaru tofu,

and Zaru, because it's cooked in oil,

prepared in a bamboo,

the tofu is made in a bamboo basket.

But then it's fried.

It almost looks like a little muffin or scone.

Firmer than I expected.

It's not like a wobbly, wobbly tofu.

May be because of that skin as well.

But I do want to get that seasoning as well.

(chill beats)

Explosion of tofu.

I like that because the ikura,

the roes,

they explode with that saltiness.

Which contrasts the delicateness of the tofu.

(upbeat music)

That just kind of like, brings out the flavor.

Okay, I am excited to try that tea.

(upbeat music)

By the way he said it was a very umami tea,

a very meaty taste.

I do taste the meatiness of it.

And it has a thick texture to it.

- [Server] Would you like me to mix it for you?

Or would you like to do it yourself?

(upbeat music)

- [Mark] Let me try that in one sec.

- [Server] Yuko was like why are you wasting all the leafs?

And I was like what do you mean wasting?

It's not done yet.

- You can actually eat the tea leafs.

So you mix in a little bit of soy sauce.

I have had like fermented or pickled tea leafs salad

but this is a totally different experience.

And this is like totally different.

That's delicious.

A bitterness but a bitterness that doesn't like

go past your tongue.

So you just taste the bitterness on the surface.

Like oceany tasting.

You taste almost the soil.

The donburi is almost like a rice ball.

But it's like a rice ball puff.

With yuba, the tofu or bean curd skin,

and abalone, she said,

I think, she said abalone liver in there.

But you can also see the roe on top

and that one looks very...

like you don't know what texture

or what even temperature

it's gonna be,

just from looking at it.

Again, everything's subtle.

Oh, I think like the rice.

I missed the rice on that.

But then it just fell out of that abalone wrap.

- Try this

- [Mark] This one she just hands it to you

and you just gotto take it in your hand

in a little origami wrapper.

But it's a tofu, deep-fried tofu like nugget.

Oh it's hot.

SO like delicate and just like dissolve in your mouth.

And then you got the strands of scallops in it.

That's what it is, scallop.

And it is a blue cheese soy dressing.

You taste that blue cheese,

soy milk, kind of like whipped soy milk almost.

Oh I got a lot of blue cheese on that one.

It's vinegar seaweed

with yuba, bean curd on top.

So may be get a little bit of everything

It's often how you can feel the texture in your chopsticks

before you eat them.

But this one you can tell it's gonna be a little slimy-ish.

Just look at the strands of it.

(chill beats)

This one's one of those things

that you want to just slurp up

immediately crunch to it.

like a seaweed,

and then a very delicate vinegary sourness to it.

(upbeat music)

- [Server] Here's a sukiyaki experience.

The soup is actually inspired by a french onion soup.

And we have grade A wagyu from Hokkaido,

served with momen tofu and cognac.

We'll have the chef cook it for you in about four minute.

- [Mark] Okay, great.

(laughs)

- Good.

(all laughing)

- It's one of the courses

that I was most looking forward to.

This is the sukiyaki,

created by Chef Goh.

It's a french onion soup stock.

Really smell that oniony aroma as he was cooking it.

It was boiling thin and like wrinkly.

(laughs)

Whoa.

Melt in your mouth beef.

Not too salty.

Really not too salty at all.

A slight, a hint of sweetness.

Wagyu beef.

Whoa.

(chill beats)

You can chew it with you lips.

Re-submerge, go back to the beef,

and let that just keep on marinating in there.

You have beef.

(upbeat music)

So the next course is somen,

which are noodles but I didn't even know where they were.

I didn't see them slip the noodles into this,

this soy milk,

dashi stock.

or like but it's cold

yeah, like a, its milky, it looks like milk.

Almost looks scuff.

It's soy milk, soy milk dashi.

Be easy on the slurping.

The texture of those noodles.

That's awesome.

Perfect simplicity right there.

The tempura, into the milk, it's all submerge.

(chill beats)

Amazing.

Okay I have this small pickle.

Give that a little stir.

There're sesame seeds in there as well.

(chill beats)

That bumps up the flavor.

Sesame, roasted sesame taste.

(upbeat music)

That's amazing.

That's amazing.

(upbeat music)

- [Mark] Moving onto dessert.

I think this is the final course.

And then everything again is with tofu.

So like every single course, I mean,

every single bite had tofu in it.

So this is the soy milk ice cream gelato, it is.

Oh that's great because it's not too sweet.

And then it just has that again like,

roasted soy milk taste to it.

Four different flavors, all again made with soy milk.

This one must be the macha.

I believe this is the macha.

Whoa.

- [Ying] Mmmmmm (laughs).

Happy day at all

- [Mark] Next time your plate is already clear (laughs).

That texture is unbelievable. (Ying laughing)

That's like the silkiest, but like dense and silkiest thing,

may be ever.

It's like fudge.

That's like soy milk fudge.

Pistachio.

I'm not a desserts guy.

But this is one of the best desserts may be ever.

- [Ying] Are they gonna keep up?

- All the chocolate one at the end.

- He brought in like, all the milk--

- [Mark] It's like, okay, okay.

(all laughing)

Okay we ended up talking for a little bit

because the next dessert is still coming but,

how do you pronounce it, Ying?

- [Ying] Im mee - [Mark] Im mee

And we are waiting on one more dessert.

- [Server] Okay. - This is the I'Tung special.

(laughs)

And it's like what, is this one?

- It's a mochi. - A mochi? Okay.

Made of tofu?

- Tofu mochi.

- Okay

- With the tofu powder.

- Awesome.

Wow, that texture.

- [Ying] May I take one bite?

- [Mark] No I don't think you can, oh the skewer

I'll take this guy.

We get that giggliness.

Wow

That texture.

This whole night,

has been about textures

and that is a totally different texture

from anything so far.

It feels the way you think a jelly fish looks.

Kind of like flopping around a little bit.

(upbeat music)

We ended up just hanging out and talking with Khun Tan

and Khun Tap for a couple of hours.

That was so much fun.

Yeah thank you for the awesome dinner

and okay I better turn on the car and roll down the window

'cause it's already getting hot

Bangkok style.

(car engine revving)

I didn't really know what to expect

I mean all I knew was it's going to be a 15 courses,

or many courses of tofu.

But hearing about the entire story and Khun Tan,

I mean, he explained things throughout the meal

as well so it's great to have him there.

But it was one of the purest, may be like,

I mean I wouldn't call the food simple,

but the flavors were not strong.

But they were like completely new flavors for me

that just well-rounded umami,

you could actually taste the pure umami.

Thanks again to Khun Tan for the invitation.

An amazing meal and a new culinary experience

for me, for real.

Road to THE NEW BEGINNING - Night 4 (January 30) Post Match Interview [5th match] - Duration: 7:22.

It seems like Okada is warming up to Tanahashi-

He's got the mic!

Who just witnessed the awesome tandem of Okada and Tanahashi?

I wanted to keep some distance from Tanahashi,

But that would be irresponsible of me, right?

Fale… Jay...

In Sapporo, Tanahashi and I, will completely destroy you two.

There is no more awkwardness between us.

Tanahashi, let's do it.

In Sendai-

Is he not sure?

The red haired ACE does it!

Awesome! We are seeing something truly amazing now.

I want to keep this moment in a frame.

I agree.

Milano, they will tag together on February 2nd, in Sapporo.

It will be Tanahashi and Okada vs Fale and Jay.

Everyone in Sapporo, please look forward to it.

Please get excited!

The dream tag team is coming to Sapporo, very soon.

Until then, please replay this match three times a day.

オカダ、俺たちの試合が近づいてきて ナーバスになってるんだろ。

あっという間に大阪だ。 かかって来い。

トンガンズの覚悟はいいか？

あぁ、俺たちは リアル・トンガンズさ。

俺たちトンガンズが大阪で お前たちを終らせてやる。

だろ、ドックス？

裕二郎を痛めつけやがって。 この仇はファレとジェイがとってくれる。

ドックス、裕二郎の様子を見に行こうぜ。

ドクター！ドクター！

棚橋は隠してるが、膝の調子が すこぶる悪いのが俺には分かる。

昨日に続き今日もあいつの膝に ダメージを与えてやった。

強がって痛くないフリしちゃって。

バカな棚橋ファンは見事に信じてやがる。

だが俺の目は騙せないぞ。

お前の体はもうボロボロだ。

間抜けなファンは変わらず応援してるが、 お前自身もうダメだって気づいてるんだろ。

だが大阪で俺がベルトを取った瞬間、 あいつらは手のひら返しするぞ。

I'm always aware of Tanahashi's comments. He often says, "10+10," right?

Before, we didn't communicate with each other well...

If we couldn't communicate, our "10+10" would just come out to 5, 3, or 0...

We weren't working out as a team.

On the other side, Fale and Jay are quite strong.

But you saw Okada and Tanahashi's tandem, right? Keep that in mind, until Sapporo.

We are not the awkward team of Okada and Tanahashi, anymore.

We are the for real team of Okada and Tanahashi, now.

YOSHI-HASHI... I have to cheat on you, just a bit.

This venue, in Sendai, I have great memories here.

I went for the NEVER title in place of Makabe, and this is where we won WORLD TAG LEAGUE.

And after my injury, this is where I made my comeback, and returned for the first time.

I'm very glad to be able to return to Sendai, today. Truthfully.

But just being glad is not enough, I've got higher goals.

Please look forward to the next time I come back here.

Okada, in Sapporo, with Tanahashi…

They'll team up in Sapporo, again.

But the second day, the three of us will team together.

I've been losing since my comeback match. So, I want to get some revenge.

YOSHI! I still haven't given up on my hopes from G1.

Please keep that in mind, okay?

Of course.

See? He said, "Of course." Both Okada and YOSHI-HASHI like me a lot.

I was finally able to show up to Sendai, as champion.

Even though it's only been only 4 years,

In my mind...

Every single day of these last 4 years, I've been saving, little by little...

And I finally cashed in on myself. That's what's made me, now.

Finally… Okada looked at me.

I have no idea what happens from here...

In Hokkaido…

Maybe, finally, we'll be able to fight... fight towards the same-

I stuttered.

Maybe we can do it!

Japan court upholds sterilization to register gender change The Washington Post - Duration: 0:28.

Japan court upholds sterilization to register gender change The Washington Post

TOKYO — Human rights and LGBT activists on Friday denounced a ruling by Japans Supreme Court upholding a law that effectively requires transgender people to be sterilized before they can have their gender changed on official documents.

The court said the law is constitutional because it was meant to reduce confusion in families and society. But it acknowledged that it restricts freedom and could become out of step with changing social values.

The 2004 law states that people wishing to register a gender change must have their original reproductive organs, including testes or ovaries, removed and have a body that appears to have parts that resemble the genital organs of the gender they want to register.

The unanimous decision by a four judge panel, published Thursday, rejected an appeal by Takakito Usui, a transgender man who said forced sterilization violates the right to self determination and is unconstitutional.

Usui, 45, had appealed to the top court after he unsuccessfully requested lower courts to grant him legal recognition as male without having his female reproductive glands surgically removed.

Despite the unanimous decision, presiding justice Mamoru Miura joined another justice in saying that while the law may not violate the constitution, doubts are undeniably emerging, according to Usuis lawyer, Tomoyasu Oyama.

The two judges proposed regular reviews of the law and appropriate measures from the viewpoint of respect for personality and individuality, according to Japanese media reports.

The Supreme Court decision ended Usuis legal battle, but he and his lawyer said the opinions in the ruling left them with hope.

I think the ruling could lead to a next step, Usui told a news conference. I hope to find what constitutes a family of my own that does not fit the traditional mold.

Human Rights Watch said the Supreme Court ruling was incompatible with international human rights standards, goes against the times and deviates far from best global practices. The New York based group said the ruling tolerates grave human rights violations against transgender people.

The ruling was also criticized by Japans LGBT community.

A transgender activist and writer, Tomato Hatakeno, tweeted that the decision shows that societys interests still come before an individuals right to freedom of ones body.

The ruling suggests that reproductive health is not recognized as a basic human right, she said.

There is a growing awareness of sexual diversity in Japan, but it is often superficial and generally limited to the entertainment industry. In a country where pressure for conformity is strong, many LGBT people hide their sexuality even from their families because of a fear of prejudice at home, school or work. Obstacles remain high for transgender people.

Japan does not legally recognize same sex marriages. As LGBT rights awareness has gradually grown in recent years, some municipalities have begun issuing partnership certificates to ease problems in renting apartments and other areas, but they are not legally binding.

Lawmakers in the conservative ruling party have repeatedly come under fire for making discriminatory remarks about LGBT people. Earlier this year, Katsuei Hirasawa, a veteran lawmaker, was widely criticized for saying that a nation would collapse if everyone became LGBT. Last year, another ruling party lawmaker, Mio Sugita, was condemned after saying in a magazine that the government shouldnt use tax money for LGBT rights because same sex couples arent productive.

Separately, more than a dozen handicapped people have filed lawsuits against Japans government for having been sterilized against their will under a 1948 Eugenics Protection Law that was in effect until 1996. 

At least 16,500 people were sterilized without consent under the law, which allowed doctors to sterilize people with disabilities and was designed to prevent the birth of poor quality descendants. Some orphans were also sterilized.  

The government has maintained the sterilizations were legal.

Let's hear the song first.

Is it modern dance?

[Like martial arts]

[Burst into laughter]

He's not that big-boned.

I'll choose no.1.

[Modern dance expert] [Next player: Jimin] Have you ever danced the tango?

[Let's decide the body part] Which body part do you choose?

Neck?

[Then] Back of neck.

[Unique ideas] [Thinking about back of neck] Play the music, please.

[Stretching] Is this the right way to dance?

[Fell down]

[I can't see] [Suga's leading him to dance]

Come here.

[Touched] That's no.1.

[Carefully touching back of neck] Jimin.

[No.3's back of neck]

Jimin, which one would you choose?

[Rap Mon's back of neck?] - No.2. - No.2?

Why?

It was soft.

[Soft back of neck] You think your partner has soft skin on the neck.

I guess so.

Please take off your sleep shade.

[Asking a question] May I change?

- Do you want to change? - I'll go with no.2.

If I were you, I won't say no.2.

[Finally, correct answer] I'll choose no.3.

[There you go! (Jimin, you're doing great)] Please take...

I'd go with no.2.

[No! Jimin keeps changing] - No.2. You can't change anymore. - No.2.

[Haha, no.2 is me!] No.2. Take off your sleep shade.

Please check out who it was.

[Soft guy] Did my neck feel so soft?

[Jimin chose the soft neck skin] Is my neck that soft?

[He's amazing] Suga did a great job to get him confused.

He did a great job.

[Next player: J-Hope] Wow, I feel so nervous.

Next player, come forward.

[The body part] Let's do this. On back of hands.

[BTS is good at finding unique body part] - Touch this part. - It's nice.

[J-Hope's tango] - Way to go! - Great!

[It's turning into a comedy routine]

Is it Spider-Man?

[Jumped!]

Right, that's the front. Please keep doing it.

[Rolling over]

Let's find your partner.

[Trembling] [Where are you going?] - What? - Trust and follow me.

- Look front. - Which way is that?

- Right here, look front. - Where is the camera?

[Somewhere] The camera is over there.

Number 1.

[Flexing hard on purpose] - Number 1. - This...

[Hard to grasp] - Huh... - What do you think?

- Let's do number 3. - Smaller than I expected.

Oh, wow! Whoa. What great flexing.

- From how I see it... - Come this way.

[Not yet] [J-Hope is scared from blindness]

- What a scaredy cat. - This way. - Number 2 is very frail.

[Please...] - It wasn't V's hand. - Really?

[Getting read to fool him] Want to pick number 3?

[Frail V stands as number 3] If I were you, I'd pick 3.

- I choose number 1. - Number 1? All right.

[Back to number 3] - No, number 3. - 3? Okay.

Tae-hyung, do you trust me? You trust me?

[Off with blindfold] [Tense moment] - Here we go. - Nervous.

[It's Tae-hyung!] Ahahahaha.

[Wow, J-Hope's amazing] You did great.

[Got it right] [Tango ceremony] How did you guess right?

[I know him] - Tae-hyung has thick bones. - V does?

- V? - In the middle...

[Wow amazing] - Close your eyes and go again. - Yeah.

[Who is this?] This sticks out too much.

- A little too much. - You chose him.

[J-Hope's selection, number 3] - This is him? - Yeah.

- You chose him before. - What a great flex.

- Look again. - Who you really picked. - Take off the blindfold. - Really? Number 2.

[Why are you here?] - It was Rap Monster. - Really?

[They prank J-Hope on camera]

V has thick knuckles, so I flexed hard on my turn.

[Unintentionally gives a big laugh] I was number 2.

This is hard to guess.

[Rap Monster got picked all 3 times] You picked me thrice.

Elbow, knuckles and neck.

[Coarse and tender guy] - He's the best guy. - So soft.

[Expert at certain body parts] - We can't beat his body. - I'm honored.

Shall we go onto the next game?

Our third game.

[A familiar song] "Love Actually".

How amazing.

What is this movie about?

[Famous sketchbook confession] - With a sketchbook... - Yeah.

What is our third game?

A sketchbook speed game.

[One gives a question while the other guess]

[Like the movie, they draw on a sketchbook for the game word]

[Team with most points in 2 minutes win]

[They won prior games] Rap Monster and Jungkook wins anyways.

Halibut.

[Halibut costs 40,000 won] Halibut.

Jungkook did what we shouldn't do.

This was for example.

Gestures, writing letters, talking.

[Real game] [Jin & Jimin start!] Go.

- What is that? - This would be hard to guess.

What's this? Samgyeopsal.

Your drawing is so...

- He held it in. - Show the one before.

- Isn't this spit? A person spitting? - A spray. - It's a spray. - This is hair.

[Hair?] So this was the hair.

[An awful anteater] - This was really... - This sucks. - Jimin can't draw well.

[Next up, V & J-Hope's team] - Can you manage? - I'll try.

[Answer is golf club] You're good at guessing.

[J-Hope & V wins with 3 questions] - We won! - Our team...

[But J-Hope and V got -1 point in round 1]

[So they play a single round match]

You're a genius.

[Suga gives the word now] - How smart. - You're a genius.

[Sketching] - This would be my anteater. - Anteater? That's even harder.

[Hard to guess] [Ant...eater?] Go!

Milk, coke, sprite.

Japan's Aspark Owl May Target Electric Nurburgring Record - Duration: 1:56.

The team behind Japan's Aspark Owl electric hypercar have revealed that they could take the car to the Nurburgring with the aim of setting a new electric vehicle record

Revealed and detailed in full at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, the Aspark Owl has yet to reach the production line but the company has already made some bold claims about it

Consequently, we're not surprised to hear that a record run at Germany's most famous racetrack is on the agenda

While recently speaking with Top Gear, an Aspark spokesperson confirmed the company's plans belief in the Owl's performance

"[The] Aspark Owl performances are allowing us to aim [for] the Nürburgring record," the spokesperson said

The Nurburgring's EV record is held by the Nio EP9 but that vehicle isn't road-legal

By comparison, the Aspark Owl has been created as a road-legal vehicle.Powering the Owl are four electric motors delivering a combined 1150 hp and 652 lb-ft (883 Nm) of torque

Thanks to a carbon fiber monocoque and the extensive use of carbon throughout the Owl's exterior, it weighs a mere 1460 kg (3218 lbs) and can reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in under 2 seconds while sprinting through to a 174 mph (280 km/h) top speed

Aspark intends on capping production of the Owl to 50 units worldwide and will reveal the finished car at the Dubai Motor Show this coming November

Trans defeat Sterilization rule for changing gender upheld in Japan CNN - Duration: 1:41.

Trans defeat Sterilization rule for changing gender upheld in Japan CNN

Takakito Usui, a transgender man who wants to change the gender listed on his official documents, had appealed to the court seeking to overturn , which requires applicants to "permanently lack functioning" reproductive parts to qualify for gender affirmation.

The Supreme Court unanimously rejected Usuis case Thursday, ruling the 2003 law constitutional though judges added it was invasive and encouraged the legislature to review it.

"It is unthinkable in this day and time that the law requires a sex change operation to change gender," Usuis lawyer Tomoyasu Oyama told CNN.

"When the law was established 15 years ago, LGBT people had to make a bitter decision and swallow the conditions to pave a narrow way for official change of gender. With this decision, I hope lawmakers will change the law to support the wishes of the LGBT community."

The court initially said the law was intended to prevent "problems" in parent child relations which could lead to societal "confusion," and avoid "abrupt changes" to society. About 7,000 people have changed their gender registration under the law since it was first passed.

While they ruled against Usui, two judges issued an additional opinion calling on society to "embrace the diversity of sexual identity."

Suki Chung, Asia Pacific campaign manager at Amnesty International, said the ruling was "a blow for the recognition of transgender people in Japan. It is a missed opportunity to address the discrimination transgender people face."

"Forcing people to undertake medical treatment in order to obtain legal gender recognition violates their right to the highest attainable standard of health. We urge the Japanese government to end this discriminatory and highly intrusive policy," she told CNN.

Stain on Japans record

Requiring sterilization has been widely denounced by LGBT groups in Japan and around the world, and in 2013 the UNs special rapporteur on human rights all states "to outlaw forced or coerced sterilization in all circumstances and provide special protection to individuals belonging to marginalized groups."

In a noting some advances on transgender rights, Human Rights Watch said the 2003 law "remains a stain on Japans record."

"The procedure is discriminatory, requiring applicants to be single and without children under 20, undergo a psychiatric evaluation to receive a diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder, and be sterilized," the report said.

Nine countries across Asia provide no right for people to change their legal gender, , a federation of regional LGBT groups, while a number of others have significant hurdles to doing so.

Conservative Japanese lawmaker Mio Sugita, who belongs to the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, attracted widespread criticism last year when she published an article saying "Support for LGBTs has gone too far."

"Will people agree to have their taxes used on LGBT couples? They cannot have children, so they are unproductive," said Sugita, .

However polls suggest Japan is becoming less conservative on LGBT issues. A by advertising firm Dentsu found more respondents than ever openly identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

Over 70 percent of respondents said they supported stronger legal protections for LGBT people.
