Who Needs English in Japanese World?
In a world where 100 percent of the population speaks Japanese, why must we learn English?
The Japanese ruling class’s boundless hubris, and their snub for English language, added to the economic mess they have left the country in, ensures a fundamental handicap for the next generation.
The following article was published in Mainichi Japan:
Majority of junior high school students critical of English lessons at elementary school
HIROSHIMA — A majority of junior high school students say that English lessons at elementary school are either boring or unhelpful, according to survey results released at a recent research meeting of the Japan Teachers’ Union.
Foreign language studies, which are already taught at some schools, will become compulsory for fifth- and sixth-grade elementary students from the start of the 2011 school year.
A teacher from a junior high school in Tokyo’s Meguro Ward carried out the survey on 168 pupils, around 80 percent of the total student body. Eighty-seven said the lessons were either “a bit boring” or “boring”, compared to 81 who said they were “fun” or “lots of fun.”
“We need to find out where we are going wrong with our teaching methods,” said one of the teachers who attended the meeting.
Those who didn’t enjoy the lessons said they were just repeating pronunciation without understanding the meaning, or because only the teacher showed any enthusiasm for the subject. Forty percent said the classes didn’t help them prepare for junior high school classes.
However, there have been some success stories. One teacher from a city high school in Kanagawa Prefecture said that he’d created a game to practice names of sports and words to do with the Olympics, by writing the words in Chinese and having the students say the word in English. Ninety-six percent of about 150 children randomly selected from that particular city said that studying English was fun. (Mainichi Japan) February 28, 2009.

Needle found in bread sold at Wakayama supermarket
WAKAYAMA — A needle has been found stuck in bread sold at a supermarket here, police said.
A 69-year-old woman who bought the bread was not injured as she found the needle before eating it. Police are treating the case as forcible obstruction of business.
The woman bought a bag containing five pieces of bread at the Okuwa Supermarket’s Wakayama-Nakanoshima outlet in Wakayama on May 28, and put the bread in her freezer at home, local police said.
After thawing out two of the pieces, she was about eat them on Sunday when she found a needle stuck in one of them, and alerted the store.
The incident has prompted the store to use a metal detector to check if any metal objects are in the bread it sells.

Would you like to baste your bread before eating, or after?
Wakayama Prefecture and the Poisoned Curry
Wakayama is the same backwater prefecture (state) were four people were killed and 63 others injured after eating curry laced with arsenic at a community festival. Masumi Hayashi, the chief suspect, was sentenced to death but she is currently appealing the sentence.
The pot of curry which was served to the residents of Sonobe district, Wakayama, was poisoned with at least 1kg grams of arsenic—enough poison to kill about 100 people on July 25, 1998.
