(Around Tokyo)"Thy First Love"
In Japan, there are 108 brands of daily newspapers with a total daily circulation of 70 million copies.
In China, there are 963 brands of daily newspapers with a total daily circulation of 97 million copies.
In the U.S., there are 1,486 brands of daily newspapers with a total daily circulation of 57 million copies as of 2004.
However, the population of Japan is 120 million; the US population is 300 million; and the China’s population 1,324 million.
Accordingly, the number of copies being issued by newspaper companies everyday is 551.2 per 1,000 citizens for Japan, 74.1 for China, and 193.2 for the U.S. as of 2004.
In addition, it is said to understand 90% of all the sentences written in a Japanese newspaper you must know at least 10,000 Japanese words, including complicated Kanji expressions.
It is also said that to understand 90% of all the sentences written in an English newspaper you must know at least 3,000 English words.
It is also said that to understand 90% of all the sentences written in a French newspaper you must know at least 2,000 French words.
That is why I am telling you that the Japanese language is more advanced than English and French.

Yet, if you are a Japanese and able to speak English and French fluently, most of Japanese will envy you.
This is, and has been, one of the most significant social and cultural issues in Japan since the late 19th century.
Anyway, if you want to obtain more authentic data, refer to the Japanese Government:

Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
