出典： Lang-8 Some British people reportedly regret that they voted for leaving the EU. They are complaining that the leaders of the Leave campaign told lies. The lies are mainly about the immigration issues and the UK's contribution to the EU budget. Many people took the lies as truth. After the referendum results were released, the Leave campaigners began to change their words, and people began to feel that they had been deceived. There was a similar situation in Japan seven years ago. It was when the Democratic Party of Japan won the general election and came into power. Before the election, the leaders of the DPJ said that there were great amounts of financial resources hidden by Japan's bureaucracy, and they would reveal them. The DPJ leaders also said that they would relocate the Futenma U.S. air base to a location outside Okinawa, or do away with it completely. Eventually they gave up both promises. We have to be able to judge whether politicians' words are tr...

出典： Lang-8 Some people say, "Anybody would be better than him/her," to express their complaints about the leader of some organization. However, they should remember they said the same thing about the previous leader, and they will also do that with the next one. It would be great if things could get better and better gradually through the replacement of leaders, but people sometimes want to get back to the past. In such cases, people say, "The previous leader was better than the current one." Thus, things never change at all.

出典： Lang-8 I went to the theater to see the play "Nocturne". It was written by Sou Kuramoto, one of the most famous scenario writers in Japan. I was deeply moved by the performance. I couldn't hold back my tears. It's a little difficult to explain the story even in Japanese, but I'll try it in English. The story was about a man who lost his two daughters to the huge tsunami 4 years ago. When the earthquake occurred, he was working as a plumber in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. His wife was working as a nurse in a hospital. Both of them couldn't get out of their workplaces because they were busy with handling the emergency situations. They both believed that their spouse was taking care of their daughters in a safe place. However, despite their expectations, their daughters were waiting for a train at a station near the ocean and were swept away by the tsunami. The man and his wife blamed each other for the death of their daughters. Each of them felt gu...
