All Japanese Are Responsible for the Nuclear Accident （福島第一原発事故は日本人全員の責任だ）
About this accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, of course executives of the Tokyo Electric Power Company are to blame, n of course Government n administration are to blame. But all japanese are to blame too. We all japanese should hav paid attention to danger of nuclear power plants.
福島第一原子力発電所の事故について、もちろん東京電力首脳部の責任は重い。
政府や行政も批判されるべきだろう。
ただし日本人全員にも責任がある。
私たちは原発の安全性にもっと関心を持つべきだったのではないだろうか。
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant was designed to get over tsunami 5 meters high, but this earthquake caused tsunami 15 meters high, n it attacked the plant. So the plant could't get over it so that the nuclear reactors rose in temperature, exploded by hydrogen, n scattered radioactive substances. Assumption by the company n investigative agency was too optimistic.
福島第一原発は最大５メートルの津波が来ても安全なように設計されていた。
しかし今回の地震では１５メートルの津波が原発を襲ったという。
そのため持ちこたえることが出来ずに原発は正常な機能を失い、
温度が上昇し、水素爆発を起こし、そして放射性物質を飛散させてしまった。
東電と調査機関の想定は甘すぎたといえるだろう。
In addition, the plant was designed to get over 7.9 magnitude earthquakes. But this earthquake was 9.0 magnitude. It is true that such a massive earthquake hasn't occurred in comtemporary japan, but in the world earthquakes of the 9 magnitude class hav occurred. So it's obvious that the company neglected its duty for safety.
加えて第一原発は最大マグニチュード７．９の地震に耐えるよう想定して設計されている。
しかし今回の地震はマグニチュード９．０。
確かにこれほど大きな地震に現代の日本が襲われることはなかった。
それでも世界ではマグニチュード９クラスの地震が実際起きている。
やはり東電は安全配慮義務を怠ったと言わざるを得ない。
But if all japanese had paid much more attention to safety of nuclear plants, the company n administration wouldn't hav neglected their duties. Some people warned the others of nulear power's riskiness, but they hav had no interested in the warnings.
ただ、もし日本人全員が原発の安全性により多くの関心を持っていれば、
東電や行政が安全義務を怠ることは無かっただろう。
中には原発の危険性を警告する人もいたが、
私たちの多くは大して気に留めなかった。
In Berlin, more than two hundred thousand of people demonstrated against nuclear power. I think japan needs nuclear power plants cuz there is little oil, coal, n natural gass in it, but we should monitor nuclear plants more carefully.
ベルリンでは２０万人を越える市民が反原発デモを起こした。
日本は石油・石炭・天然ガスに乏しいので原発は必要だと思うが、
私たちは原発をより注意深く監視すべきではないだろうか。
Gaddafi in Libya Should Retire （カダフィは引退すべきだ）
People in Libya dont hav right to vote(選挙権がない), freedom of speech（言論の自由がない）, 30 parcentage of them r unemployed（失業率30%）, Lybya is not a democratic country. In spite of much oils produced in Libya, the greater part of them r unfortunately poor. And the leader of this country is Muammar Gaddafi.
A considerable number of Libyans r supporting him, so he might not be an mere utter villiain（ただの極悪人では無いのかも）. But he ordered his soldiers to oppress the opposition group thoroughly, he did so not because he hoped people's peace in mind but because he lusted for power（権力欲のため）. It is natural of a person to want power, but a leader should be kind to people.
US, UK, France, n others hav been attacking Gaddafi's army n Japan supports it. But Russia, China, n Germany oppose it. It's not simple to decide for or against the attack, but it is obvious that the monopoly of power（権力の独占） cannot make people happy. And Gaddafi has a too much monopoly of power.
Gaddafi should retire from the head of state. A leader should be elected by people.
The Revival of Chernobyl?（チェルノブイリの再現か）
It might be possible that 4 reactors（原子炉） in Fukushima First Nuclear Power Plant will exploding severely like Chernobyl disaster（チェルノブイリ原発事故）. Too much water that cools reactors might have evaporated（蒸発）, so some containment buildings（格納容器） were damaged and thick radioactive substances have been leaking out. If reactor cores melt down（炉心溶融が起きる）, a quantity of highly poisonous plutonium and extremely dangerous radioactive substances will be released. Japanese government and the electric power company must be concealing the fact（隠蔽している） from people in order not to cause a panic.
The executives（首脳部） of the electric power company are to blame, they should have decided to shower water including boric acid（ホウ酸） on 4 reactors in order to stop their nuclear reactions forever and do away with them（廃炉にする）. But they didn't do so. Of course it's a difficult dicision, but he must have done it to save Japan as a leader.

Fukushima First Nuclear Power Plant is goin' out of control
Dear friends, the japan's fukushima I nuclear power plant striken by the giant earthquake might possibly cause a large explosion like Chernobyl disaster. At last, all of 4 reactors exploded by hydrogen or others, it's quite a dangerous situation. Quantities of radioactive substances have already been scattered on the outside and many workers have been exposed to radiation. They're trying to control reactors, but nuclear power is like a wild beast, not a tame animal. So far, workers and engineers have been getting desperate to calm reactors' anger. I cooperated in fund-raising and decided that i never drank alcohol till this tragedy ended
The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake
At the japanese nuclear power plant struck by the giant earthquake, not only reactor�� but reactor�� exploded by hydrogen. It's quite a seriouse situation, i cant believe it. Hope it won't cause the same disaster in Chernobyl
神戸ルミナリエ
神戸の冬を輝かす神戸ルミナリエが
今年の冬も開かれている。
阪神淡路大震災の被災者を追悼するための
イルミネーションで有名だ。
あの大震災があったとき僕は京都に住んでいた。
喘息の発作であまり寝つけなかった早朝に
大きな揺れを感じて驚いたのを今でも覚えている。
震源地の兵庫県南部からかなり離れた京都市でも
あの揺れの大きさなのだから、震源地付近の神戸や
西宮のあたりは・・・と思うと本当に言葉もない。
家屋が倒壊したり所々から火の手が上がって、
多くの方が亡くなった。
当時の村山富市首相が、救助のための自衛隊の派遣命令を
出すのが遅れたことが、厳しく批判された。
そのときは僕はまだ政治に関心がなかったので
気に留めなかったが、大変な失敗だったと思う。
首相が「なにぶん初めての事でもございましたので」
と弁明していたが、明らかな失言だ。
巨大地震が都市部を襲った第一報を受けた時点で
即座に自衛隊の派遣命令を出すべきだった。
もちろん首相という役職は山のように課題を抱えていて
なかなかすべてを完璧にこなすのは難しいんだろうけど。
だけど被災者にそれは通じないし、あの弁明をすべきでなかった。
やはり社会では結果責任、結果がすべてなのかな。
だったら村山首相の批判ばかりしてないで、
自己批判もしないとダメかも。
Japan-China relations（日中関係） vol.1
Yesterday, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan（菅直人 首相） n Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao（温家宝 首相） had an informal talk（懇談した）. It's not a formal conference（公式な会談ではない） cuz the 2 countires relations grew worse... But i think both Japanese government n Chinese government made efforts to realize the top-level "chat"（首脳同士の話し合い） at ASEAN+3（東南アジア諸国連合＋日中韓） summit in Ha Noi.
Japan-China relations hav got worse since a guardship of the Japan Coast Guard（海保の警備艇） n Chinese fishing boat collided（中国漁船と衝突） near the islands in East China Sea. Japan insists that the islands belong to Japan, n China insists that the islands belong to China. Both countries' people got heated wiz nationalism.
In Japan, many Japanese people n politicians of nongovernment parties（野党の政治家） hav criticized PM Kan n the Democratic Party of Japan, the Government party（与党の民主党） cuz they thought that PM Kan showed weak attitudes toward China. PM Kan needed to hav summit meeting wiz PM Wen at this summit meeting in order to invite Chinese President Hu Jintao（胡錦濤 国家主席） to APEC summit meeting（アジア太平洋経済協力会議） in Yokohama（横浜）, Japan. But situation was serious, so PM Kan got angry n shouted "Why hasn't Japan-China summit meeting been decided to hold yet!?（なぜ首脳会談の開催が決まらないんだ!!）" He's said "Ira-Kan/Irritated Kan（イラ菅）" cuz he often gets angry...
In China, some Chinese thought that PM Wen made a concession to Japan（日本に譲歩） cuz he had promised Japan to develop gas field in East China Sea jointly（ガス田の共同開発）. So PM Wen needed to show a strong attitude toward Japan to avoid domestic criticism.
Then, Japanese foreign minister Seiji Maehara（前原誠司 外相） n Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi（楊潔篪/よう けつち 外相） had meeting n decided to tell their governments to hav summit meeting at the ASEAN+3 meeting. But after that, Maehara n US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton（ヒラリー・クリントン 国務長官） had meeting n she said that the Alliance of Japan-US（日米同盟） is applied to the islands in East China Sea. And some mass media released a faked information（誤報）. So it became impossible for China to Believe Japan. But PM Kan n PM Wen needed to talk there cuz Japan needed China n China needed Japan, so they finally had a informal talk. They shook hands n talked for 10 minutes.
In South Korea n Southeast Asia, they hope that Japan n China r on good terms. So at the ASEAN+3 meeting, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak（李明博/イ・ミョンバク 大統領） tried to make PM Kan n PM Wen shake hands.
I think China should not aim for supremacy（覇権） in Asia. If China aimed it, China would lose many friends in Asia. And i also think Japan should not regard China as an enemy country. If Japan did so, peace in Asia would not come true.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan（日本の総理大臣、菅直人） vol.2
On 16 October, many Japanese held anti-China demonstration in Tokyo again. The leader was Toshio Tamogami（田母神 俊雄）, he is former chief staff of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force（航空自衛隊の元航空幕僚長） n popular among conservative of Japan. They yelled that the islands in East China Sea belong to Japan n Prime Minister Naoto Kan（菅直人 首相） should resign cuz he showed a weak attitude toward China.
On 16, 17 October, many Chinese held anti-Japan demonstration in Chengdu（成都） n other cities. They yelled that the islands belong to China n Chinese should boycott Japanese products（日本製品のボイコット）.
The islands are far from Japan proper（日本本土） n Chinese mainland（中国本土）, so Japanese n Chinese didnt pay attention to them in the past. But in 1968, large gass field（ガス田） was discovered near them. It caused trouble between Japan n China.
The end of this month, Japanese Prime Minister Kan n Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao（温家宝 首相） will meet at East Asian Summit（東アジアサミット） in Hanoi. Then Chinese President Hu Jintao（胡錦濤 国家主席） may visit Japan n have a summit meeting wiz Prime Minister Kan in Nobember cuz APEC（アジア太平洋経済協力会議） summit meeting was held in Yokohama（横浜）. I hope they will meet n talk about solutions of this problem.
