   Yesterday, A Jordanian was arrested to sell fake goods of NIKE which was famous sports maker near the stadium played the soccer game.
   The game was the final of Toyota World Cup. Barcelona and Santos took part in the game.
   Everytime, I watch the Toyota World Cup on TV at home because I like to watch many nice plays of super players! I'm excited! But, I'm angry at the news. He insults soccer! I want people to watch the sport games purely!

The movie is the game. Messi is very very super player!!!

Blog#14 My favorite CM

Monday 2 Ryota Yamada
Hello everyone ! I will introduce my favorite CM  to you.

The CM I'll introduce is "zyumangoku manzyu"(十万石饅頭).
"zyumangoku manzyu"(十万石饅頭) is very famous as a delicious sweet of japanese .  (But I have never eaten.)
 But the TV cm is more famous than itself.  Whenever I watch Saitama TV ,  this CM is broadcasted. So people in Saitama pref , maybe everyone, know this CM. At first , watch this CM ,please.

 After watching this CM、I felt that this CM is very easy to understand because of the word "umai , umasugiru!"(うまい、うますぎる！) I might have watched this CM over 1500 times since I was about 10 years old. 
 But, people don't live in Saitama can't watch this CM. It makes me feel sad. So I want you to watch more CM broardcasting in Saitama pref , if possible!

And I have never eaten it , so I want to eat it once . This is the my aim of 2012. Please eat  "zyumangoku manzyu"(十万石饅頭) you too. please teach me your favorite local CM ,if any.

Thank you for reading!

Blog#14: My favorite TV commercial

Manami Hiramoto

Hello. Today, I would like to take about my favorite TV commercial. It is made by TOKYO GAS. It advertises their products. For example, a gas cooker, a steam sauna in bathroom, a floor heating and so on. The stars are Satoshi Tsumabuki, Manami Konishi, and Mikihisa Azuma etc.

I am interested in its story. I think this commercial is not only a simple advertisement but also a serial drama. It seems to the characters play in a melodrama talking about the products of TOKYO GAS. Then, I wonder how the story will develop after this when I watched this commercial. So I watched this commercial every time though I am not interested in their products.

We can watch old stories and their details in TOKYOGAS’ website. Please check it anytime you feel like it.

Blog#14: The national pension problem

Yuki Morita

   Hello. I am interested in the national pension problem in Japan now. If you are 20 years old, you got notices from Japan Pension Service. The notice also reached me 2 weeks ago.

   Recently, the national pension problem is discussed frequently. In Japan, there are many people called "the elderly". About 25% of the whole population in Japan are the elderly people in 2010. Of course, we, the young, must support them, but the National Treasury is now very hard up for money. So, the Japanese Government are considering the problem. Now, people of sixty-five and over can receive the pension. However, perhaps only people of sixty-eight or seventy and over can get the pension  in the near future.
   I think the corporations have to think the retirement age problem too, because people who retired must depend on their pensions. So, the corporations will have to increase the retirement age, but can all people of sixty-five and over work hard? It may be difficult. The Government and corporations should provide opportunities to play active parts without forces for the elderly.
   The national pension problem is very complex. I want to consider it more.
