I think many people well know this comic book or this movie. Some people maybe read it or some people maybe watch it. Nana is the famous japanese comic book. Nowadays, Nana is created on a film and cartoon animation. Nana was written by Ai Yazawa. It is the story of the two girls that have the same name, but they have a different characters, Nana Osaki and Nana Komutsu. Nana Komutsu is a girl that comes from the small town and follows her friends and her boyfriend to Tokyo. Nana Osaki is a girl that comes to Tokyo because she wants to debut with her band. She is a punk singer in Black Stones band. The story of two girls begins at they meet each other on the train by chance on the way go to Tokyo. After that, they decide to live together in an apartment numbered 707 in the seven floors. This story shows you about the friendship between friends, the dream of the performer and romance love.

For me, I never read this comic book but I watched the movie. I think it is a great story. I like the character of Nana Osaki because I think she is a kind person, and she always help her friends.

Nowadays, tecnology is developed more than in the past. Japan is the one country that has the high tecnology in the world. In this paragraph, I am going to tell you about a humanoid robot, Asimo.

Most of Tamagotchi has a same form like a small egg shaped computer and has three interfaces at the bottom. The name Tamagotchi comes from the Japanese word 'tamago' which means 'egg' and the English word 'watch'. Two words were mixed together to be the word 'Tamagotchi' .

Japan watching China's military closely

Nowadays, China is the country that has a powerful of military and economy. Countries around the world always watch closely their eyes to China. I read this news from internet that Japan said on Tuesday that they will keep a close eyes on China's military. China has amount of people highest in the world, and they have the most soldiers in the world. It makes another countries feel frightened of China's military. United States reports that China's rising military is changing East Asia's military balance. After United States reports, Japan said that Japan will keep paying attention to China's military trend as it will have a significant impact on security in the region, including Japan. In April, Tokyo protested after a Chinese naval helicopter made a close flying by of one of its destroyers on the high seas off a southern Japanese island chain during exercises Japan considered provocative. In the same month, the similar incedent happened agian near the Okinawa islands. In my opinion, I think China will be a powerful country in the future because they have a strong military and weapon. I think Japan does a right thing that they are watching thier eyes to China's military because Japan is near to China.

Politics

I read the news about the political of Japan from the internet. It has a protest in Japan because Prime Minister Naoto Kan and his Cabinet didn't come to visit Yasukuni Shrine in this year. Yasukuni Shrine is a Shinto shrine that located in Tokyo. It is dedicated to the spirits of soldiers and other people who died fighting in the war of the Emperor of Japan. At the Japan Education center in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, there were 190 people that welcomed with Prime Minister Naota Kan's dicision to stay away. The group was included citizens who lost their relatives in World War II and who generally object to politicians visiting Yasukuni Shrine. The day marked the 65th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II and the first since the Democratic Party of Japan took power last year. It is the first time in nearly 30 years that the entire Cabinet has refrained from visiting the contentious shrine. This year marked on the 100th year of Japan and Korea Annexation Treaty too. However, Sadakazu Tanigaki, the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, he said that he will go to visit Yasukuni Shrine on Sunday, the anniversary of the end of World War II.

Economy

I read this news from the internet. It talked about an employe in Japan. Because of production of automobiles and electronic gadgets was slip, it made Japan's unemployment rate ticked higher in July. This was a sign that shown an export an automobiles may be stalling. It was a big problem that challenged for Prime Minister Naoto Kan. Prime Minister Naoto Kan said that he will find the way out of this problem immediately because he thought this problem affect for the balance of Japan's economic. The plan of the government was to purchase cars for helping weigh on production for the domestic market of Japan if overseas climate was not recover. In June, unemloyment in Japan rose to 5.3 percent that was a highest level since November. In November, the percent was 5.1. Even if Japan has a economic problem, some of researchers said that this rate will come up in a few months. In my opinion, I think Japan can get through this problem because Japan is the one country that has a largest economic of the world.

Economy: Toyota's Japan sales

Japan is the third largest in the world of economy after the United State of America and Republic of China. Export an automobile is the one big economy of Japan. Japan has many brand of an automobile such as Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Isuzu etc. This brand is known around the world because Japan exports many automobiles around the world. Lastly, Toyota said on Friday that they can sale the top of hybrid vehicle in Japan. Toyota hybrid cars were saled one million mark in Japan and were saled 2.68 million of the vehicles in the worlwide. Toyota is the one industry that develop in a hybrid cars. There are two types of hybird cars that Toyota industry develop. It is a gasoline engine and another source such as electric motor. The first car that using the hybrid technology is Toyota Prius. It was made in 1997. Nowadays, Toyota industry try to using hybride technology in mini-vans and rear-wheel-drive sedans. The reason that people buy the hybride cars because of high gasoline prices. In my opinion, I think using hybride cars is a good way to reduce the global warming because hybride cars have a little affect for our world.
