Posted in: 82-year-old man suspected of killing son, then trying to kill himself See in context

I know about this news. 82-year-old man killed his son because he tired of nursing care for his son. In Japan, there have a lot of incidents of killing family and murder-suicide due to nursing care fatigue. It is said that the reasons why there are many such incidents is that there are a lot of elderly people and the support systems for families are not strong. This is a serious issue because more families will need support from now on.

Posted in: Sazae-san breaks own Guinness World Records again for 55 years on television See in context

This is an anime that has been broadcast since before I was born and is very loved by the Japanese people. I enjoy the comical movements in this anime and watch it often. Also, it is interesting to learn about the lifestyle of Showa period When I watch Sazae-san. My parents don’t usually watch anime, but they watch only this one while laughing. So, I’m amazed at how even their generation finds it funny. This is broadcast 3 episodes a day, but 1 episode is about 10 minutes, so you can enjoy it without getting bored. Someday, I want to visit the town where Sazae-san is set.
