Introducing Japanese news this week! August 22nd.

 Hello. everyone!

I will try new things from today! It's called "Japanese News of the Week".

I think the basics will be updated on Sunday, but it may be around a day. I'm sorry at that time.

I will write about 3 to 4 happy news, sad news, disappointing news, and silly news. If you have a request to let us know if you have such a topic, please leave a comment or DM! Also, in this attempt, I will select the news that interests me from various news sites, newspapers, magazines, TV programs, etc. and convey it in my own words.

If you write a news article as it is, you will infringe the copyright. Therefore, it is difficult to put images and photos. I think that I will post an image close to the news that can be used for free.

Then, it is the first attempt start! !!

August 17: Heavy rains continue throughout Japan, increasing the risk of sediment-related disasters.

From the end of June to around August 15, heavy rains continue and sediment-related disasters occur frequently in a wide area of Japan. On August 22nd, when this article was written, the area where it was raining narrowed, but since there are many areas where the ground is weak, caution is required in areas near mountains and residential areas near rivers. ..

In particular, the damage to the Kyushu area is serious even in Japan, and many damages such as flooding of houses, collapse of roads, and landslides have occurred. In addition, the damage to agricultural products is enormous, and the prices of vegetables have begun to rise.

And to those who read this news. I think the fear of sediment-related disasters is hard to imagine. I was the same. For such people, please search YouTube for "Atami, July 3, 2022". You can probably watch the video of that moment. This video was taken by chance at the moment of a landslide that suddenly occurred in the town. Many people have died in this disaster, so don't search for fun. I saw the video and learned about the horror of sediment-related disasters. We pray for the victims of this disaster.

August 19: A mysterious Russian appears in Hokkaido! "I've swam. I want to go into exile ..."

On the 19th, a Russian man who said, "I have swam from Kunashiri Island," was protected in Shibetsu Town, Hokkaido. The Russian man was dressed beautifully and stood in front of the police box. He seems to be able to speak a little Japanese, and he says he wants to go into exile in Japan. It is currently under discussion whether to continue protection or deport.

Hmm. First of all, isn't your physical strength? What does it mean to swim across a distance of about 20km? ?? ?? There are too many mysteries, but if this is the case, its guts are amazing! I definitely want to hear more about this news!

By the way, what is Kunashiri Island?

An island in an area made up of four islands called the "Northern Territories" that are competing for ownership between Japan and Russia. It is now virtually owned by Russia and is home to people. It is rich in fish and shellfish and has resource value, but it is also a very important area for national defense. Ownership is often discussed in Japan and Russia, but no major progress has been made to date.

August 20: Will Mt. Fuji erupt today? !! The urban legend is a hot topic.

On Twitter in Japan, the mysterious topic "Isn't Mt. Fuji erupting today?" Has entered a trend. As you all know, the result is not erupting. If it had erupted, I wouldn't be able to afford to blog leisurely.


So why did this become a hot topic? It is caused by a certain cartoon. The manga was published in 1999 under the title "Author: Tatsuki Ryo Title: The Future I Seen". The content of this manga is just a manga of what the author had in his dreams, because the content is too real. In other words, it is even called a "prophecy" in which the author's dream of precognition is written. Although it was written in 1999, it was said that the Great East Japan Earthquake (3.11 earthquake) was also hit, and there was a voice that Mt. Fuji might really erupt on August 20th. It may be a little silly news, but Mt. Fuji is likely to erupt in the future. From this topicality, many people turned their attention to "what kind of damage would occur if Mt. Fuji erupted?", And it is news that cannot be ridiculed in that disaster prevention awareness has increased.

This article is here!

When I saw the news in Japan, 60% of the respondents said, "How much has the number of infected people increased?" There is too little decent news. covit-19 is scary. But I think there is more news in Japan.

After all, "Afghanistan" is the hot topic in the world news, not in Japan. I can see that the situation is getting worse. We also saw reports that the family of a German press was killed. It's too miserable. I pray for your soul. I hope it doesn't go to war as it is ...

I would like to continue to update what has been talked about in a week like this!

See you!
