I am a japanese. I want various countries to know about Japan.
I am going to introduce “Yamaha resort” today.
YAMAHA is a Japan’s leading sound maker.
An opening of that history began in 1887 and became a current company name in 1987.

And YAMAHA started resort development in 1964.

Yamaha resort “tsumagoi” opened in 1974.
It is located in Shizuoka, midway of Tokyo and Osaka.

This resort facility takes 170 square meters at the resort area. it is very large!!!
Around two hotels, people can enjoy various activities such as tennis, horseback riding,  hot spring and more.

nowadays, Japanese animation is very popular over the world. “Pokemon”, “Studio Ghibli”, “Doraemon”, “Sailor Moon”, “Dragon Ball”… and many other Japanese animation has been dubbed in local languages and shown on TV. Even though not all the Japanese animation has been out in the world, I wanted to compare which animation program is popular in the world and in Japan I might see something in common and uncommon elements in both Japan and other countries.

I found an interesting blog topic Japanese animatin in the world and blog owner was listing the top 20 Japanese animation in foreign countries. I found top 100 animation program rating in Japan conducted by Asahi TV Network as well.

I wanna introduce top 20 as well:
1.sazae-san
2.tetsuwan atom(astro-boy)
3.Kyojin-no-hoshi
4.chibi-maruko-chan
5.obake-no-Qtaro
6.Dr.Slump

15.Doraemon
16. Lupin III

Astro boy and Dr.Slump are rated higher in Japan. Tiger Mask is popular in both countries. Dragon Ball and Pocket monster are more popular in other countries. these are dubbed in more countries I guess. some top rated programs in Japan were old ones when not so many animation program were there in Japan. so it might not be accurate comparison, but just to show you the rating…

Minami helps Sena dating with Ryoko. Minami meets Mr.Sugisaki, a famous good-looking photographer. It was good for Minami to distract her feeling to Sena. Mr.Sugisaki asked her to go to a concert. She saw Ryoko there. She came to the concert to associate with the memory with Shinji(Shinji liked the singer).

Ryoko finds herself falling to Shinji the more she knows she can’t see him, she decides to tell her feeling to Sena. One day, Ryoko calls Sena… Feeling bad for what will happen to Sena, Minami tries to stop him going to see Ryoko. But he doesn’t listen to her and went to see Ryoko…
