・Once I was told a story describing the value of self-sacrifice:

At dinnertime after shopping, they went to a restaurant on the top floor.
While they were having dinner, all other people in the restaurant disappeared.
They carefreely wondered that if there was a character show going on in the lower floor.
Suddenly, smoke came up; the department store was on fire!
It was already impossible to go downstairs to escape, so they ran up to the rooftop.
But there was no one they could ask for help.
There was another building next to the department store, but the distance was too far for two sons to jump.
So Father stretched himself like a bridge and held the fence of the neighboring building, and told the sons to go to the neighboring building along his body.
The bigger brother could reach the neighboring building first, but little brother was cowered.
Father was getting exhausted.
Father and bigger brother cheered the little brother desperately, and finally, the little brother managed to reach the neighboring building.
And they looked back -and Father had disappeared.

However... what I wondered first of all was why they didn't notice the fire sooner:
Whether there was not an announcement warning about the fire or none of the employees and other customers told them to evacuate.
And even if the announcement equipment was out of order due to the fire, why they didn't think something was not right when all other people in the restaurant disappeared.
-Am I being too realistic?
・An ordinance was introduced to oblige to stand up for national anthem.
If my memory serves me right, argument about the prosperity of obliging national anthem legally had already been on in 1990s -and I was a high-teen girl when I heard the news about it for the first time.
Back then, I confess that I wondered...:
Many people would recognize a popular series of comic of a robot cat, a bullied boy and his friends.

What would happen if someone with a tin ear like him sang this song completely out of pitch at an important formal scene?
Such a mischievous question aside... this song might be a bit unsingable technically for some people; the highest note is a bit too high.
So I tried by myself and found that this song is easier to sing if the pitch is lowered two or three semitones.
-Is that inadmissible?
・A popularity vote for members of a large idol group of girls was held on a national scale.
As for this, I have nothing to comment -except for:
I just hope that their fans, media and all the people who took interested in this popularity vote will be devoted to national election as passionately as their popularity election, and the politics and the government in this country must be forced to change definitely .
