(The Arakawa River on the upper side and the Tonegawa River on the downside) Today and Last Night, "Let's Get Up Into the Ring"
Today Japan is in a national holiday (Marine Day); it is in the aftermath of Typhoon No.4., the mightiest one as those coming to Japan in July, but I really wished that it would only proceed on the sea in the south of Japan and it did.
Last night, a Fuji TV news show reported on enthusiasm on "Eco Bags" a certain famous bag company has launched worldwide.
As the program had introduced the environment-friendly bags with a specific brand a week ago, a few days ago when the sale of bags began hundreds or more citizens surrounded the shop of the company on one of high streets in Tokyo from a night before, resulting in confusion and messing like cases days before in Taipei and Hong Kong.
(Now the bag is reportedly traded on the Internet at 20,000 yen with a premium put on it, though originally priced at 2,200 yen; 1.2 yen = 1 US cent.)
Even a bag with a sign "I Am Not a Plastic Bag" sells so well as with examples in New York and London. Then, as I wrote a week ago or so, humble paper bags with your name on may sell a million, profits of which should be distributed to poor people living around Smoky Mountain in Manila, the Philippines, since the paper bags should be made of old newspapers, which is the poor people's proprietary idea.

Today Japan had a big earthquake on the coast area of the Sea of Japan in the north of Tokyo Pref. around 10 a.m., which killed several persons, injured hundreds of people, destroyed partly or fully hundreds of houses and business buildings, and halted a few nuclear power generators as well as some semiconductor plants and Shinkansen Express trains; I also felt the tremor, living a few hundred miles away from the epicenter.(http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/; or

Last night, when I went out at 8 p.m. or so, I spotted a lone white star shining in a void of the heavily clouded and unsettled dark sky up in the Southern direction, that is, over the Tokyo Bay.
Later when I was walking back home, I found a car with the license plate number "6666" passing through a cross over point. Indeed, I was thinking about a little financial matter.
The Fuji TV news show later reported on young people living on day labor and actually sleeping or resting in a small dedicated space within the so-called the Internet Cafe around Tokyo, while new university graduates are welcomed by booming companies. It is nice for Ms. Yoshiko Sakurai, a notable critic, and Ms. Yuko Andou, the main personality of the program, to present compassionately those weak young people who probably hate ugliness of competition and human relations based on material desire in society.

Today Japan is in the middle of the Upper House Election campaign. A week later, when the voting day is over, it is expected that the ruling parties will lose a majority status in the Upper House of the Diet. Will young Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe continue his regime, though it is often said that other senior LDP leaders are far less popular than Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe?
Last night, nobody sensed that a big earthquake was going to happen next day, while they were enjoying consecutive holidays. Indeed, a disaster always happens this way. And the NHK TV station has been now reporting on the earthquake-related matters and situations continuously for several hours.
As I began this EEE Reporter blog on the earthquake that occurred in October 2004 in the same prefecture, today's earthquake in Japan has been taken gravely even personally. And, as you know, in December 2004 the Great Tsunami Disaster occurred in the Sumatra Island and the Indian Ocean, raising the extraordinary fears to Allah in hearts of many Muslims.
The Prime Minister urgently visited the devastated area by helicopter this evening. Will this earthquake be a portent for him and Japan? Or is it a portent for the world like in 2004? Otherwise, whose love or anger has been synchronized with it?
(If there is a holy girl or a divine lady close to EEE Reporter even in the cyber space, remember, please, I don't think I am supposed to die under a broken structure, as I am not leaving a ring.)
"...I will use a man on the Mount Zion as a sword, to fight men of Greece..."
