[Silver] August 30, 2016 16:00

The activities of the Japanese team, such as judo, swimming, gymnastics, wrestling, table tennis, and relay, played an active part in Rio 2016, are still clear in my memory. In addition, we can expect the success of the Paralympic athletes.

After that, about 1,400 days, I am dreaming of becoming a better Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics with the growth of young players. 

I aim to be a volunteer guide for better hospitality by brushing up English and Portuguese. Let's do our best, Japan!

[Silver] August 29, 2016 12:00

Shinji Yamagami's "Fun and Fun Illustration Exhibition" is being held from August 29 to September 3 at the first gallery on the first floor of St. Luke's International Hospital.

For the first time in January 2014, Mr. Yamagami became a big fan since I listened to very interesting rakugo for the first time at "St. Luke's Health Nabis Pot Rukabi Lunch Time Mini Course & Mini Concert". Was.

This time, we have been informed of the illustration exhibition, so I would like everyone to go out and see interesting and fun illustrations.

The postcard I received this year

The 35th Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador Miss Chuo-ku

[Silver] August 29, 2016 09:00

 On August 27 (Saturday), I went to the 35th Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador Miss Chuo's final round. The location is "Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store" which supports the event every year.

Before the event, we saw a wonderful prize given to Miss Chuo, a sightseeing ambassador to Chuo-ku, Miss Chuo.

There's still more.

And from 13:00, in a solemn atmosphere, the event was held brightly and brilliantly with the moderator of Rakugo Tachibana Master Hanzo and Sayuri Himeno, but the 19 young women who remained in the finals were quite nervous. Was.

First, self-introduction and PR of contestants No. 1 to No. 10 were performed.

Next, the participants from No. 11 to No. 20 introduced themselves.

This year, I was a student at a famous university, a businessman who has studied abroad in a foreign country, and is designed using the web.

Everyone is "genius and philanthropic talent", and I thought that the judges would be quite distressed.

 Between selections, a song by singer Haruna Sakurai was performed.

I enjoyed listening to singing such as "Let's look at the stars at night", Miyuki Nakajima's "Thread", his own song "Good night", and "Let it go as it is".

In the past, for seven consecutive years, I've been watching this final round of the sightseeing ambassador of Chuo-ku, Miss Chuo, but this time there were events that were able to get acquainted with words and actions that were nervous.

Some say it's a light and smart word when answering the judge's questions, or even if the microphone is not in good condition, it's a good feeling.

 Here, we show Kawayanagi. "Western face is Tsukuda's daughter who likes Japanese sweets."

Well, I was present at the moment of the decision. The three sides, dressed in tiara and gowns, are

From the left of the photo, "Woden Jennifer Risa", "Iyo Magabuchi", and "Eri Komuro". I wish you all the best for the next year. For more information, please visit the website of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

A number of prizes were given to you. The judges, the audience seats, and the family who rushed to cheer continued with great applause.

Finally, I was impressed by the very warm words of Hajime Matsuoka, the chair of the chair, and my eyes became hot.

The word is, "The daughters of everyone who participated were not selected by a small margin, but please encourage the lost daughter." I was really impressed.

"Yoshio Midori Paper clay exhibition Nend Parade vol.24 2016" was held at "Flag Ginza Gallery" from August 2 to 8.

I've been watching it every year for the past five years, but last year I didn't report on a blog, and this is that report.

There are a lot of cute kittens.

The customer who came just was absorbed in watching it.

This artist's work is also used as a teaching material for elementary school students.

There was also clay work that imitated "mentaiko" like a food sample. I hope it will be helpful for your summer vacation work.

OMI DO BRASIL is a store of Brazilian clothing and accessory products located in Ginza 1-11-1.

This is also a design with wild birds, and I think it is a unique design.

Inside the store, the Brazilian flag, which has become quite familiar at Rio 2016. "orden e progresso" written on the belt of the national flag equator.

I hope that the written "order and development" will be brought to the people of this country as soon as possible. Eu adoro Brasil !

Police Museum is closed until spring 2017

[Silver] August 23, 2016 18:00

 I think the Police Museum is a very good environment where you can learn about the police system from the Meiji government. It is also a place where children are pleased, such as the experience of a white motorcycle police officer.

So, I wanted to teach you and your children as a place for free study during summer vacation.

Unfortunately, it is suspended due to the renewal work.

The museum will be closed until the spring of 2017. I'm going to visit the renovated police museum with my grandchildren.
