Because of Corona, our family had to refrain from leisure activities.
Since we have been cooped up in the house for so long, we have gained 5KG and our bodies have become heavy.
So, for the first time in a long time, I was looking for a way to go out.
I couldn’t come up with a good idea, so I decided to go to a large scale game center.
I went to a place that has nothing to do with dieting at all.
So I went to “Everyday Tottekiya Tokyo Main Store” in Yashio City, Saitama Prefecture, which claims
to have the largest number of crane games in the universe.
As the name suggests, there are crane games as far as the eye can see, with a total of 448 large and small crane games installed.
The crane game prizes varied widely, including stuffed animals, sweets, figurines, and even vegetables.
In particular, the plushie and figurine prizes were filled with Onimei no Bade goods, reflecting
the current times, and many customers of all ages and both sexes were enjoying the game.
I also returned to my childhood and enjoyed myself.
However, due to my occupation, I have a habit of looking at the tags of the products to see
where the stuffed animals and sweets are made, and I have a tendency to look at the origin of the products.
My wife warned me that I should forget about work at least this time.
By the way, most of the stuffed animals we took were made in China, and the second most were made in Indonesia.
We also got some Chupa Chups as prizes, and when we looked at the origin, we found that they were made in Spain.
I was a little surprised by this.

   CHILDREN,S AGENCY(Government jurisdiction)
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The other day, I read in the news that the Japanese government has begun a full-scale study to establish a “Children’s Agency”
to serve as a command center for policies related to children.
The other day, I saw a news report that the Japanese government has started a full-scale study to establish a “Children’s Agency”,
which will be the command center for policies related to children.
The main purpose of the new agency will be to collect information on child abuse, suicide, truancy, and other issues related to children.
The main purpose of the office is to collect information on child abuse, suicide, truancy, etc., and to be in charge of policy
planning and coordination with related ministries.
Prime Minister Kan said, “The organization should think about what is best for children in the midst of a declining birthrate.
Prime Minister Kan expressed his strong desire to realize the establishment of the Children’s Agency.
He expressed his strong desire to establish a new Children’s Agency.
However, with the declining birthrate, the burden and expectation on each and every child will become greater and greater.
As a parent with a child, I believe that the establishment of a new “Children’s Agency” to support
the sound upbringing of children will help improve the future of Japan.
As a parent with children, I hope that the establishment of the Children’s Agency to support the sound upbringing of children
will improve the future of Japan.

   TAPIOKA
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The tapioca craze in Japan since around 2019 seems to have died down a lot.
Still, if you look for a convenience store or coffee shop, you can easily find tapioca drinks.
Tapioca has become so familiar among young Japanese people.
In recent years, black tapioca, which is colored black, has become the mainstream.
I guess it’s because the contrast with milk tea and other beverages makes them more attractive on social media.
When I was a child, I used to love the white tapioca mixed with coconut milk, but recently I don’t see it much anymore.
When I looked into it, I discovered that the white tapioca I imagined was from the first tapioca boom in the 1990s.
The recent tapioca boom is said to be the third boom in Japan.
Incidentally, since the original tapioca made from cassava is difficult to maintain its texture,

Most of the tapioca drinks sold in convenience stores are made from Konnyaku powder
(made from kneeded potato powder )
and colored with charcoal powder or squid ink.
When I heard that, I wanted to go to a tapioca specialty store, which I usually just looked at and passed by,
to check out the original texture.

   PROTEIN
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I enjoy exercising, so I drink protein every day.
When you hear the word “protein”, you probably recognize it as a supplement for protein intake.
The word “protein” comes from the ancient Greek word “ PROTEIOS ” (meaning: the most important thing).
It can be taken to mean that protein is a very important nutrient for humans.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the human body is a mass of water and protein.
Muscles, internal organs, bones, blood, hair, skin, nails, etc. are all made of protein.
When protein is in short supply, the following symptoms generally occur in the body
Loss of muscle mass
Skin and hair problems
Decreased concentration and thinking ability
Gaining weight easily
Decreased function of internal organs and blood vessels
Lowered immunity

In the midst of a busy life, some people may skip breakfast.
It’s hard to get the nutrition you need for the day just by skipping one meal.
The busier you are, the more protein you should be taking.

In case you’re wondering, my favorite way to drink protein is
Aojiru + Hokkaido milk-flavored protein + soy milk.
The result is a green tea milk flavored protein drink that is tasty and healthy.
If you are health conscious, please try it.

   HEADING ( FOOTBALL GAME )
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The Japan Football Association( Soccer game) has issued guidelines on the practice of heading in soccer,
saying that heading may have a negative impact on children’s brains.
The Japan Football Association has issued guidelines on the practice of heading.
* 2nd graders and younger should use a ball made of balloons or rolled up newspapers to avoid impact.
* 3rd and 4th graders should practice with a lighter ball than usual.
* 5th graders and above will also be limited in the number of times they can use a soccer ball.
In addition, in February last year, England, the mother country of soccer, formulated a guideline
that prohibits heading in practices for children under 11 years old.
This seems to be a measure in response to the results of a study conducted by a British university,
which showed that professional players are at risk of death from neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.
In the baseball world, high school baseball teams have introduced pitch count limits for pitchers,
and it seems that the gutsy coaching we received as children is being reconsidered.
Our son chose basketball, not soccer or baseball, for some reason.

   COLOR HIDE AND SEEKING
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I am often amazed at the flexibility of children’s thinking.

It just so happens that
I was playing with my kids on vacation.
Suddenly, he invented a game.
He asked me to play “color hide-and-seek”.

The rules are quite simple: prepare a few colored pieces of blocks or blocks.
Of course.
The first step is to check what kind of pieces are used.
If it’s a living room, you can put them in the living room.
If it’s a living room, put them near the furniture of the same color in the living room.
If it’s a living room, put them near the furniture of the same color.
(It takes about 3 minutes to hide them.)
And
(The hiding time is also about 3 minutes.) Then, the person who finds it has a time limit.
(About three minutes as well, right?).
Of course, there are cases where it is easy to find them.
But sometimes they are completely assimilated.
I think
It’s a very simple game, but it’s also very interesting.

It’s a very simple game.
But when you look at it from the outside
It’s not hidden at all.
But if you look at it from the outside
You may not be able to find them for a long time.

Even with three adults against one child
It was quite a challenge.
It was a very interesting game.

It’s hard to have a party in this environment.
But if you have a chance to get together, why not try it?
But if you have a chance to get together, why not give it a try?

   Baseball Stadium
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I have my strong dream to visit professional baseball franchise stadium
together with each local stadium.

I have visited the first time, located at north eastern district from main
city of Tokyo, Japan.
Where well know as
the Tohoku region to Rakuten Life Park Miyagi, home of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.team.

It is May in the Tohoku region, but the mornings are still a bit chilly.
Sendai station was quite big, as you would expect from the largest city in the Tohoku region.
Before the game, we went to Sendai Antic Castle Site, one of the most popular sightseeing spots
in Sendai, and Matsushima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan.
We also had Sendai’s famous Zunda shake and beef tongue.
Rakuten Life Park Miyagi is very easy to get to from the east exit of Sendai Station.
The Eagles Road to the stadium starts right after the east exit.
The trees along the Eagles Road are very beautiful and green this time of year.
It is a straight line of 2.2 km to the ballpark.
The ballpark was opened in 1950, but it doesn’t look old at all.
The stadium also has a Ferris wheel and a merry-go-round, which gives you a wide field of vision and
makes the whole stadium very easy to see.
By the way, all the stores in the stadium are cashless, and cash is not accepted.
