I saw something strange in the evening sky while I was driving… but it disappeared when I looked again. I wonder what it was. I’ve experienced this several times. I really want to know what they are, but everything I’ve seen so far remains a mystery.

Each person feels happiness differently. I consider myself happy every day, and I say so. Other people may think that I have no hardships in my life. But you know, I have a lot of problems too. But instead of focusing on them, I just feel one joy or happiness ten times more.
I sometimes have a sixth sense. I sometimes judge people's personalities based on my sixth sense. It may seem spiritual to other people, but I still try to trust my sense.
The origins of Japanese manga actually date back 800 years. In emaki (picture scrolls) drawn during the Heian and Kamakura periods, we can see techniques that lead to today's manga. One theory is that they were inspired by British satirical comics, but after doing some research, I think that they probably originally had the same conceptual power that is depicted in manga.
The Jaws movie I saw as a child scared me so much that it still traumatizes me and I can't swim in the ocean. I wonder how people who surf can go that far. The thought of sharks in the ocean scares me so much that I can't bring myself to swim in the ocean.
Radio may be considered outdated in this day and age. However, podcasts and e-books with audio features have been greatly influenced by radio. I think that the culture of getting information by listening with the ears was created by radio.
Some ramen shops are good and some are not so good. For a while, I was addicted to visiting ramen shops. At that time, I had many interesting experiences.
Natto is a traditional Japanese food, but its smell is said to be the worst. But in fact, it is a delicious and very nutritious food. Especially for women, we should eat it actively because of its skin beautifying effect.
I am not particularly interested in famous tourist attractions. Whether traveling domestically or internationally, I think it is enjoyable to experience the local climate and experience something out of the ordinary. The next time I travel abroad, I would like to be close to the lives of my friends in that country.
When I was in high school, I went to Okinawa on a school excursion, but I don't remember going to any of the tourist attractions. I am sure I took a plane on the way there and on the way back, but I don't remember that at all either.
In Japan, an event called Tanabata (Star Festival) is held on July 7, where people write their wishes on long, thin strips of paper called tanzaku and tie them to bamboo leaves. This is one of the most common summer customs in Japan. In some areas, Tanabata festivals are held from July to August.
The famous Japanese pear, named the 20th Century Pear, is a very tasty pear, juicy, with a good balance of acidity and sweetness. But this is the result of chance and the efforts of a boy and his father.
Here are some of the unusual flavors of soft-serve ice cream in Japan. I will introduce three slightly unusual flavors and four extremely unusual flavors.
Not long ago, we would have been talking about the future, six months or a year from now, but those plans would soon become a thing of the past. And the pace of my language progress is not at all in proportion to the speed of the passage of time.
Azuki is believed to ward off bad luck. It is also said to help expel fatigue and toxins from the body and keep the stomach healthy, making it a very healthy traditional Japanese food.
The dessert known as parfait has become like an art form, so popular nowadays as an Instagram image. And now they are available at convenience stores for a reasonable price. If you come to Japan, I urge you to try the parfait at a convenience store called Ministop!
The basis of Japanese food is one soup and three side dishes. This is the basis of the Japanese diet, which is said to provide a balanced intake of nutrients. If it is too difficult to make three side dishes, you can put a lot of vegetables in miso soup.
We take a luxury trip once a year. Since the purpose of this trip is to enjoy onsen, we only go sightseeing when we have extra time. We stay at a different ryokan every year, and each one has its own unique and interesting features.
Nails are not used in most old Japanese buildings. That is because the expansion rate of each material is different, making them vulnerable in the long run. In the past, the Japanese built shrines and temples with hundreds or even thousands of years in mind.
I have seen strange UFO-like phenomena. I am an occultist, so I believe in the existence of UFOs. However, some people make fun of my story. It is up to each person to decide whether or not to believe in UFOs, but if you are going to make fun of me, I would like you to prove that UFOs do not exist.
I like the morning best among all the hours of the day. Waking up early and being active allows me to get a lot done in a day. But every day, I feel that time passes rapidly in the evening. What is this all about?
Thanks to my phone, I can do YouTube and benefit from it. I am very grateful for that. But it is also true that my life is now being influenced by my smartphone. I think it's important to have a life away from the smartphone at times.
Japan has its own unique era name. It is so deeply linked to the Japanese people that it is inseparable from them. Sometimes, the dates on official documents are mixed with the western calendar, which I feel is complicated, but still, I would like to cherish what is uniquely Japanese.
In Japan, there is even an onigiri anniversary. In recent years, there have been onigiri with fancier ingredients such as wiener onigiri and karaage onigiri, but onigiri can be made with simpler ingredients that are still delicious.
