Late Abe's double, Satake update. The older he gets, the more he resembles Abe.
I even feel Abe's soul in him recently.

Satake in my neighborhood last month.

A 12 year old Kabuki player Botan Ichikawa talks about her art. She is a sort of genius.
Her mother passed away in 2017 but Botan resembles her very well.

"In playing Kabuki, I think that players don't speak words normally but are always requested something like accents for lines but I'm not very good at putting them yet. So, my younger brother gives me advice like 'Maybe You should do like this for that line.' etc. .....When my father watches me performing, I always get really nervous. In the past, I did have strong feelings of 'I don't like it if I am scolded' or 'I don't like it if he warns me' but, recently, I want my father to watch my performance and, rather, I want him to point out my problem to fix because I begin to believe that I'm performing in the right way. So, my father watches me and I can receive a lot of points to be improved. Once I learned a choreography and started to understand it in my own way, I begin to want my father to see it."

This is what I did not mind at all historically.

A Chinese girl in Japan analyses why recent Chinese riches want to live in Japan.

1. Close to China

2. Language barrier is low

3. Influence of Japanese anime and drama in the childhood

4. Life standard is high

5. Less social competition

6. Good invenstment value for the real estate

7. Easy to get the permanent residency

8. Chinese community exists for eating and shopping

[Controversy] A video of JMSDF "Izumo" by a drone was posted on Chinese social networking site but expert says there is something "unnatural."
Is this a fake created by AI? (April 1, 2024)

【物議】海上自衛隊護衛艦「いずも」を“ドローン撮影”か　中国SNSに映像が投稿　映像には“違和感”…AIによるフェイク？｜FNNプライムオンライン

海上自衛隊最大の護衛艦「いずも」をドローンで撮影したとみられる映像。中国の動画サイトに投稿されたものだが、誰がどのように撮影したのだろうか。日本の安全保障に懸念の声が上がっている。中国のSNSに投稿されたある映像が今、日中両国の間で物議を醸している。何者かがドローンで撮影したという15秒の映像に映っていたのは、海上自衛隊横須賀基地に停泊する護衛艦「いずも」とみられる。全長248メートルの「いずも」は、海上自衛隊が持つ最大の護衛艦。横須賀基地などの防衛施設上空でドローンを飛ばすことは、法律で禁じ…

After a month when people almost forget the incident, JMSDF modestly announces
"Defense Ministry says drone 'likely' flew over Izumo destroyer".
This means that Izumo crew witnessed the drone but did nothing.
