Private car
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
My current car is an early Wishes, and it’s 18 years old this year.
In human terms, I am in the third year of high school.
When I saw this car for the first time, I thought “this is it”, and I remember vividly that I went to a car shop immediately.
I used to change the oil every 3,000 km, so I never had any major breakdowns like the car stopping in the middle of the road.
However, the other day I found oil smeared on the asphalt of the car park where I parked the car.
I immediately sent it to the dealer for inspection and they reported that the oil was leaking from the rubber parts of the power steering system due to age-related deterioration.
I was afraid to ask how much it would cost to repair it, but they told me it would cost about 120,000 yen.
The sales person of the dealership who was listening to it beside me said, “How about a new car? He immediately asked me if I would like to buy a new car.
However, as there was no car that made my heart flutter like it did when I first saw the Wish, I politely declined and decided to have it repaired.
It’s going to be 19 years old now.
At the same time, my affection for it has grown over the years and I thought I would keep driving it until it stopped working.

Momotaro
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I’m the guy who writes about Momotaro.
In the last episode, we saw an aggressive Momotaro, who suddenly went out to get rid of demons for treasure.
But there must be some reason for Momotaro’s outburst.
Let’s look at Momotaro’s background.
The name “Momotaro” is a little strange, don’t you think?
If he was the eldest son of Momotaro, it might still be possible, but there is no description of his grandfathers.
But there is no description of the old men.
Why did you choose that name? And Momotaro replied, Peaches.
Momotaro is forced to answer, “Because I was born from a peach.
Even if he thinks this is impossible, his grandfather and grandmother have told him so.
Imagine this.
If I were to use an exaggerated example, I’d say it’s like when you’re at school and there’s a boy called Paprika Taro in your class, and you ask him where he got his name from and he replies “because he was born inside a paprika”.
At best, he will be treated as “strange” or “mysterious”; at worst, he will be teased by the other children around him.
By the time he is old enough to say, I was born on Peach Festival” or “My parents like peach blossoms,” he will have become “Momotaro, born of a peach.
Momotaro has grown up being teased by the villagers, and his self-esteem is a little low.
The only thing he does is help his grandfather with his mountain work.
One day, Momotaro thinks to himself: “I don’t want to spend my days like this. “I’ve had enough of this boring life.
Then why don’t I go on an adventure, get some treasure, and live happily ever after?
Maybe the people in the village will change their minds.
This is why I came up with the theory that Momotaro, with his boyish sense of adventure and desire for approval, plans to exterminate demons.

Boxer
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I like martial arts.
Among them, boxing is my favorite sport.
Boxer Naoya Inoue.
He is the number one boxing treasure of all time in Japan.
Boxing is finely divided into different weight classes.
If all the professional fighters weighed the same, who would be the strongest?
That’s what the rating rankings represent.
PFP (Pound for Pound).
And the latest PFP ranking is as follows (as of 2021/07/03)
DAZN’s Top 10 PFP Ranking
No. 1 Saul “Canelo” Alvarez
No. 2 Naoya Inoue
No. 3 Terence Crawford
No. 4 Errol Spence Jr.
No. 5 Josh Taylor
No. 6 Teofimo Lopez Jr.
No. 7 Vasyl Lomachenko
No. 8 Tyson Fury
No. 9 Gervonta Davis
No. 10 Jermall Charlo
Ranking No. 2 Naoya Inoue.
It’s a great achievement for a Japanese to be ranked so high.
I’m sure the day will come when he will be number one.
The best boxer in the world is Japanese.
Shohei Ohtani in baseball and other Japanese athletes are amazing these days.
I’ll train hard for nothing!

Panda
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
In the early hours of 23 June, the Ueno Zoo’s giant panda, Xinxin (15 years old), gave birth to two twin babies.
This is the first time in four years that Xin Xin has given birth since she gave birth to Shan Shan in June 2017.
This is the first time that the park has had panda twins, but both pandas made loud noises after giving birth and both mother and baby appear to be healthy.
It is said that pandas generally do not take care of two babies at the same time, so after the birth, the other baby was moved to an incubator.
It is said that the two pandas will be kept in the same place.
The first time I saw a panda was on a field trip in junior high school, also at the Ueno Zoo.
I still remember the excitement of seeing them in the flesh, something I had only been able to see on TV.
One day, I would like to take my family to see the twin pandas born this time and see the same excitement in my children’s eyes.

Professional Baseball Local Stadium Game
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Every year, professional baseball games are held at local stadiums in different parts of Japan.
This year’s games were unofficially held during the Olympic Games.
This year, the games will be unofficial during the Olympic Games and will be held as exhibition matches.
Nippon-Ham is scheduled to be held in Hakodate for the first time in four years, since 2018.
Nippon-Ham is the team with the most matches held at local stadiums.
In Hokkaido, this includes Asahikawa, Kushiro and Obihiro.
Their former home, Tokyo Dome, also hosts a game every year.
Before moving to Hokkaido, the Tokyo Dome was the home of the Tokyo Giants.
If I had the time, I would be more than happy to watch a baseball game while enjoying the gourmet food of Hokkaido.

American Crayfish
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
It seems that the American crayfish will be allowed to be kept in captivity, but not allowed to escape.
It seems that the legal regulation of the American crayfish has been a difficult issue for a long time, as it is one of the invasive alien species that have a big negative impact on ecosystems and agriculture.
We keep crayfish in our house, just like every other family.
At my child’s primary school we have a wonderful class where we fish for crayfish and bring them home to keep and observe.
My daughter has also brought home a crayfish that she caught.
We were also able to observe a mating scene in the crayfish.
They are laying eggs and also hatching.
The hatched crayfish are getting bigger and their lives are going to be linked to the third generation.
These days, I am mostly in charge of the crayfish.
The American crawfish was first imported in 1927 as food for bullfrogs.
The crayfish was imported by human beings and is innocent of any crime.
Moreover, I was surprised to see an article in the newspaper with the headline “The American crayfish: a nuisance close at hand”.
On a global scale, the bogeyman is definitely us.

Autograph session
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Some time ago, I went to an autograph session of a model and actress.
Her photo book has recently been released and this was the occasion for the event.
She is world-famous (I think) and I have loved and admired her for a long time.
The book signing was by lottery, and I thought I wouldn’t win anyway, but I did! I was so happy when I won.
When I met her on the day and she signed my photo book in front of me, I thought it was a dream. I thought it was a dream, so I hid and pinched my cheek.
And what’s more, it was signed with my name!
I couldn’t shake his hand because of the times, but I could talk to him for a while while he was signing my book.
I decided to tell her what I thought of her photo book! But I was so nervous in front of her that I couldn’t even say half of what I wanted to say…
But I believe that my feelings were conveyed.
This is not the first time I’ve met her.
There was a similar event a few years ago and I hadn’t seen her since then.
She even took a picture of us, shoulder to shoulder. That photo is a family heirloom.
Aren’t you lucky to be able to meet your favourite celebrity twice in your life, face to face?

A life with Barrier or without
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I happened to be watching a programme called “Work Style”.
This time it was all about the Olympic superstars.
All of them have experienced the bottom of the barrel behind their spectacular results.
I have experienced the same thing, but at a different level, so I could relate to them.
As with anything, there are good times and bad times.
In general, people look at the person who is successful.
People tend to think that it is because of talent that you have reached that level, but basically it is because of your effort.
There is not that much difference in human ability.
The Olympic Games are no exception, but the fact that you can achieve results in any field is due to the effort you put in.
The title of this article is actually something that a comedian said.
It must be a life without any barrier or obstracles.
On the other hands, It must be another life to challenge dificultties.
However, it is more fun to live a thankful life where you keep challenging yourself because you were born to do something.
I think these are wonderful words and I always keep them in my mind.
