前代未聞の日本紹介本、谷山雄二朗の ‘Master of Japan’ （小社刊）の勢いが止まらない。
予定調和を徹底的に排し、歴史、武士道、文化、社会問題、政治、頼朝、江戸、’単一民族’、東京五輪から食事・温泉にいたるまで幅広く扱っているのがウケているのか、アマゾンのトラヴェル・ランキングで6位に入っている（2019/1/19現在）。しかも、単体では「ベストセラー1位」マークも表示（2019/1/18現在）されるなど、発売から1ヶ月経た今も進撃を続けている模様だ。
「訪日客一億人を目指しているので、東京2020ないしはパリ五輪にピークを持っていければ、ぐらいに考えていたのでちょっと意外だね。燃え尽き症候群にならないよう、気をつけるよ」。そう謙遜する谷山だが、こう付け加えることも忘れない。

Spanish soccer legend Xavi Hernandez predicted that Qatar would defeat Japan in the finals of FIFA-AFC Asian Cup 2019, on a Qatari TV program back in December last year.
Xavi’s bets have not been capricious in any way so far, since he has actually got seven out of eight quarter-finalists correct: Iran, South Korea, Australia, UAE, China, Qatar and Japan. The Spaniard even guessed correctly, that the final match will be played between Doha and Tokyo.
That, I must say is simply splendid. He surely deserves a big credit.
However, the former Barcelona F.C midfielder unfortunately will prove crucially wrong in the upcoming match, scheduled on February 1. Since I predict that it will be the Samurai Blue that will get the last laugh.
Why? There are few reasons for this. First, Nippon has a lethal weapon; a mischievous mascot girl called Fuchico (コップのフチ子）. Whenever she sits on the ‘Fuchi’, or the tip of a glass cup, the Samurais prevail.

【Al Ain, UAE】
Japan ‘s Osako Yuya scored twice, in the 56th minute, then again just 11 minutes later on a penalty kick, while Haraguchi Genki added the final blow in the 91st minute to win the “de-facto final match” of the tournament against Iran, at the AFC Asian Cup 2019.
Now, Samurai Blue’s manager Moriyasu Hajime needs just one more win to make history, to become the first Japanese to lead its national squad to winning the prestigious Asian cup. The past four titles Nippon won (1992, 2000, 2004, 2011) were all led by foreign managers, including Zico the legend.

Hello. I’m Yujiro.
1月25日の発表によると、国内で働く外人就業者数が「ギネスワールド・レコード」を更新したらしい。その数、じつに146,0463名。上位3か国は中国が、389,117人(26.6%), ヴェトナムが316,840人（21.7%)、フィリピンが164,006人（11.2%)。大、大、大歓迎である。
毎日、ほぼ1000人のペースで人口が減っている国、Japan.
その数字だけでも衝撃的だが、逆に外人就業者数はこの10年で3倍に増えたとのことだから、神様はバランスシートを上手に調整してくれてるのかもしれない。過去最多の146万人の外人さんがJapanで仕事をする反面、去年の段階で人口減は過去最多37万人だというから、今後は毎年「新宿区」が一つ消滅していくということだ。政府は、今後5年間で34万人の就労者を海外から募ると言っているけど、これから毎年40万人前後という空前絶後の時代にJapanが突入することを考えると、とてもじゃないけど政府の「毎年7万人ペース」では追いつかない。

Sushi power has done it once again.
The fate of “FIFA-AFC Asian Cup 2019” now rests in the hands of Japan, Iran, Qatar and the hosts UAE. Defending champions Australia and Asian powerhouse South Korea were struck by an unfathomable tragedy last night, when they were ousted by lower-ranked foes.
Next, in the semi-finals, the Samurai Blue will fight Iran, while Qatar encounters the mighty United Arab Emirates. And for the benefit of the reader that is not a huge soccer fan, let me underscore that the Asian Cup is a crucial football event that is held every four years, to decide the No.1 in the biggest continent in the world – Asia.

Emperor Akihito will abdicate on April 30, 2019.
His son Prince Hironomiya will then become Nippon’s 126th Tenno, a Japanese term for “symbolic figurehead of the state”, or the Emperor.
What?! The famous Prince Charles?! Well as far as I am concerned, his hyper-exuberant mom is unlikely to abdicate anytime soon, so there’s absolutely no denying the fact that he will remain as a “Happy Prince” till the flawed Brexit deal is signed, to say the least.
But in this blog, I would like to sit back and contemplate on Mr. Komuro Kei, an alleged fraudster like Mr.Carlos Ghosn the famous. Foreign reader may never heard of Mr.Komuro, or KOK (lets make this his acronym here), but this 27 year old is purportedly Nippon’s Princess Maco’s college sweetheart. I do not possess confidential datas that he is a Christian, although the pair met while both were attending International Christian University in Kichijoji city, west of Tokyo, near Academy Award winning director Miyazaki Hayao’s “Studio Giblhi“.

大晦日に行われた格闘技 Mayweather vs Nasukawa戦は、核保有国アメリカ合衆国 vs 9条ジャパーンの構図そのものであった。
茄子だが那須だが知らないが、日本人キックボクサーは揚げ茄子の如くわずか1分ちょっとでアメリカ人ボクサーにペロリと平らげられてしまった。
面白いのは、その恐るべき茶番ファイトが、国際社会におけるわが国の立ち位置そのものを映し出していた点である。キックボクサーなのに「キックしてはならない」とのルールからして、憲法9条の「陸海空軍を保持しない。交戦権を保持しない」という、言語明瞭意味不明な制約そのものであった。

猪突盲信。
これだけは気をつけよう、平成三十一年！
明けましておめでとうございます。みなさんにとって、2019年が好色ならぬ好運なる一年になりますよう、心よりお祈りもうしあげます。いや、もちろん前者でもまったく構いませんが。
お正月早々、元ロシア人のフィギュアスケーター、エフゲニー・プルシェンコ氏を TOKYOの某路上で「発見」した。と思いきや、彼のそっくりさんであった。話しかけると、モスクワから二週間の旅に来ているという。ひとり旅か。「京都は行ってきました」、というので「そうか、広島も？」と尋ねると、“プルシェンコ”は、申し訳なさそうに首を横に振った。
日本史上初、訪日客が3000万人を突破した2018年。

Another tedious day was about to begin this morning in Tokyo , once again.
Until one mighty friend called me, and delivered an unfathomable shocking news.
He said, “Rising Sin is now 3rd man! This must be a fake news!”
“Stop that petty nonsense you idiot”, I replied, still inside the comfy futon.
Then he sent me a link.
I couldn’t believe my slanty little eyes (from the westerner’s view). But there it was, fake as it may be, my little bombshell had won the prestigious bronze medal (for now, to say the least), at Amazon Olympics 2018.
Japan category, that is.
Fake news. Yes, it must be.
I rubbed my eyes a coupe of times, pinched my crotch, and there were tangible pain.
