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."

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

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.
