00:00Ikegami Ryu News Trivia
00:16It's already been a month since 2025.
00:20Today is February.
00:22Today, we will introduce various news about February and the current situation.
00:28Here is Ikegami Ryu News Trivia.
00:32Trivia about the health of this season.
00:38Be careful not to get a mosquito bite in winter.
00:44Why?
00:45Mr. Itoda, why do you think so?
00:48Because it's cold.
00:50I eat a lot of things to lose weight.
00:55I try to warm up my body.
00:57I see.
00:58Don't you eat sweets in summer?
01:01I eat.
01:04I understand.
01:05It's cold, so it's easy to get a mosquito bite.
01:10In winter, our bodies dry up.
01:13When the air is dry, the inside of the mouth is also dry.
01:17If you wear a mask, you breathe through your mouth and it is easier to dry.
01:22In the first place, saliva has a sterilizing effect.
01:26If the inside of the mouth is dry, the amount of saliva will decrease.
01:31In winter, the amount of saliva that fights against mosquito bites decreases and the sterilizing effect is reduced.
01:41But now, there are few children who have mosquito bites.
01:47Mr. Itoda, there were many children who had mosquito bites in the past.
01:50Are there fewer children now?
01:52There are fewer children who have mosquito bites now.
01:56It is said that more than 90% of elementary school students in the 1970s had mosquito bites.
02:02But now, there are many children who have no mosquito bites.
02:0965% of elementary school students have never had mosquito bites.
02:17It is said that the parents' generation has become more aware of the health of their children's teeth.
02:24In recent research, it was found that there is a regional difference in the number of children's mosquito bites due to tap water.
02:32What?
02:33Regional difference?
02:35Tap water contains such an ingredient.
02:39It is a type of mineral called adipose tissue.
02:43It is said that it is a nutrient that strengthens the teeth and bones and has the effect of preventing mosquito bites.
02:50Adipose tissue is also used in toothpaste.
02:54Tap water also contains a little bit of the same ingredient.
03:01There was a research announcement that adipose tissue and mosquito bites have such a relationship.
03:07There are fewer mosquito bites in children in areas where the concentration of adipose tissue in tap water is high.
03:14In other words, the concentration of adipose tissue in tap water is different depending on the area.
03:20In other words, when adipose tissue is contained in tap water, children drink water or urinate in tap water.
03:26As a result, there was a research announcement that it is difficult for children to have mosquito bites.
03:32When the concentration of adipose tissue increases by 0.1 ppm,
03:37the percentage of children who receive mosquito bites has decreased by 3.3%.
03:44In addition, there is such a trivia.
03:50The world's first
03:54Did you make a medicine to make your teeth grow?
04:04In other words, when the adult tooth comes out, it doesn't grow anymore, right?
04:07So it's called a permanent tooth and it's no good if it comes out.
04:11But in fact, human teeth have a mechanism that is not strange even if they regenerate.
04:17Under the teeth that are growing now, there is something like an eye that becomes the basis of the teeth.
04:25But in fact, the human body produces a substance that suppresses the growth of new teeth,
04:30so new teeth do not come out.
04:33So it's a problem if another tooth grows from the bottom of the current permanent tooth,
04:36so it's suppressing it.
04:39However, the medicine that suppresses the growth of teeth by eliminating the work of the substance that suppresses the growth of teeth has been developed.
04:49That's why new teeth are growing.
04:54It has already begun to check the safety of humans,
04:58and we are aiming to make it practical by 2030.
05:022030!
05:05There are quite a few people who have a few teeth.
05:09It was developed as a treatment for that person.
05:12So this may be a good story for people who have lost their teeth.
05:20I'm glad.
05:22Here is the next news trivia.
05:26Japanese cuisine is very popular with foreigners.
05:30There is an image that Japanese cuisine is proud of the world.
05:37Is Japanese cuisine made by foreigners?
05:45Mr. Natsu, do you know what this means?
05:49Japan has a low food supply rate.
05:53That's why we import ingredients and cook them in Japan.
06:00That's right.
06:01Because the food supply rate is low,
06:03Japanese cuisine uses a lot of foreign ingredients.
06:09There may be such an image.
06:14In fact, we rely on foreign ingredients more than we think.
06:22What happens if we try to make these dishes only with Japanese ingredients?
06:29This is the image of shrimp tempura.
06:37What does that mean?
06:38It's about 90%.
06:40Is that so?
06:41Yes.
06:43The food supply rate of tempura is 7%.
06:47Is that so?
06:494% of shrimp is imported from Southeast Asia.
06:5317% of wheat is also imported.
06:57In particular, the oil used to fry tempura is 0%.
07:05It's not Japanese food at all.
07:09Here is the next news.
07:11It's about soba noodles.
07:12Soba noodles?
07:15I want 70 to 80% of soba noodles.
07:20It's called Japanese soba noodles.
07:25It's one bite.
07:28Soba noodles are 33%.
07:32It's called Japanese soba noodles.
07:34But it's made of wheat, not soba.
07:37That's right.
07:38Soba noodles are imported a lot.
07:41As a result, normal soba noodles are like this.
07:48In fact, soba noodles are also imported.
07:53There is a soba noodle shop that has been around for a long time.
07:56It says that new soba noodles have arrived from Australia.
08:00I think it's because the season is the opposite.
08:03Soba noodles are also imported.
08:08Ramen, which is said to be the national food of Japan, is also imported.
08:21I think soy sauce is Japanese food.
08:24There is only 24% of soy sauce.
08:26Soy sauce is made in Japan.
08:29What is the source of soy sauce?
08:31Soy sauce is made in Japan.
08:34Soy sauce is made in Japan overwhelmingly.
08:38What about eel?
08:42Do you want to eat rice?
08:45I want to eat rice.
08:4771% of eel is made in Japan.
08:5198% of eel is made in Japan.
08:53Many eels are imported from China.
08:5798% of mirin is made in Japan.
09:03Mirin is made from rice, so it has a high rate of self-sufficiency.
09:10What about pork cutlet set meal?
09:17Who is it?
09:20Cabbage is good.
09:23The rate of self-sufficiency is 43%.
09:26It is more than half.
09:29This is the rate of self-sufficiency for each ingredient.
09:33Pork is imported.
09:3898% of rice.
09:4026% of miso soup.
09:426% of pork.
09:4417% of wheat.
09:46I'm sad.
09:48Pork is grown in Japan.
09:51Why is it 6%?
09:53What about pork feed?
10:00Most of the livestock feed is imported.
10:03For example, corn is imported from the United States.
10:07As a result, it is like this.
10:11The rate of self-sufficiency of feed depends on the number of domestic livestock feed.
10:21Most of Japanese meat dishes are imported.
10:29Eggs are also imported, but feed is imported.
10:3696% of eggs are domestically produced.
10:3913% of chicken feed is imported.
10:44The same is true for milk.
10:47The number of dairy products is also decreasing.
10:50You can see how much Japanese food depends on foreign countries.
10:56Japan's famous tourist attractions are in trouble.
11:06Japan's famous tourist attractions are in danger of disappearance.
11:14Why?
11:17Inoue, why do you think so?
11:21Is it because of the change in the environment?
11:25Will Japan sink in a few years?
11:30Where?
11:32Where will Japan sink?
11:34What do you think, Natsu-san?
11:36I don't think Japan will disappear.
11:38Many foreign tourists come to Japan.
11:40There will be a lot of people and problems.
11:43I don't think Japan will disappear.
11:48The number of people in Japan is declining.
11:51The number of people in Japan is decreasing.
11:54Japan is a popular tourist destination.
11:57There is a local government in Japan.
12:01It's called the Disappearance Potential Government.
12:04The number of people in Japan is decreasing.
12:09How many local governments are there in Japan?
12:15There are 744 local governments in Japan.
12:1840% of the total number of local governments in Japan is said to be disappearing.
12:24There are many local governments in Tohoku Prefecture.
12:28The population of women in their 20s to 30s will decrease by more than half by 2050.
12:35There is a possibility that the population of women in their 20s to 30s will decrease by more than half by 2050.
12:42There are many famous tourist destinations in Japan.
12:45For example, Hakodate Otaru in Hokkaido.
12:47Hakone in Kanagawa.
12:49Niko in Tochigi.
12:51Atami in Shizuoka.
12:52The number of tourists is increasing.
12:54There are not enough hotels.
12:56There are a lot of rooms.
12:58But there are not many places where you can stay.
13:03If there are no tourists, it will not function as a tourist destination.
13:11It may be called a tourist destination.
13:14What should we do?
13:16This is also a challenge.
13:19This is also a matter of countermeasures.
13:22This was announced 10 years ago.
13:2610 years ago, it was announced that Toshima City in Tokyo was the only city that could disappear.
13:35The people of Toshima City were in danger.
13:38They said that young women had to live there.
13:41They increased the number of nurseries.
13:43They reduced the number of waiting times.
13:46As a result, the population of Toshima City increased.
13:49That's why they were able to escape this time.
13:57February is the season of snow.
14:01There is an unusual custom in Japan.
14:08They roll beans in a circle.
14:13What appeared in front of the people waiting on the cruise ship?
14:20It's a demon on the water.
14:24The people on the ship throw beans at the demon.
14:33This is a custom called Kojo Onioi, which is a festival held at Hakone Shrine.
14:41It is said that Ashinoko is the birthplace of Japanese water skiing.
14:46By the way, it's been going on for over 60 years.
14:54At the end, the owner will clean up.
14:58They put the beans in a circle without rolling them.
15:04On a snowy night, a shadow puts something in the middle of the road.
15:16When they checked it, what was there?
15:21Sandals and something wrapped.
15:25The contents of the wrapping are beans.
15:30The next day after the snow,
15:33there are beehives all over the intersection of this city.
15:38What?
15:42It's a strange scene.
15:45This is a custom of Yakuotoshi in this region.
15:51People who celebrate Yakudoshi
15:54put their beehives at the intersection in the middle of the night when people can't find them.
16:00They leave the beehives together.
16:04Do they leave them?
16:05Do they go back to pick them up?
16:07The beehives are believed to reflect Yaku, so they can't be touched.
16:14This is also the case.
16:19It's like Halloween.
16:24On the day of the festival, children are overflowing in this area.
16:29We came to pick up the beans.
16:32Cute.
16:34The clerk who was asked to give the beans gave them sweets.
16:39I like sweets.
16:40It's good.
16:41It's not beans.
16:43This is a custom of picking up the beans of the demon.
16:49The inventor of the Edo period from this area, Gennai Hiraga,
16:53didn't roll the beans to pay for the Yaku,
16:56but gave them to the children and started to share the clothes.
17:02It's good.
17:05It's not beans now,
17:07but it's a popular event because children are given sweets like Halloween.
17:15I'm glad I was born in Hashido.
17:19Destroy the demon with a lie.
17:23I wrote it and put it on the entrance and windows of my house.
17:28On the day of the festival, people put something on the Sadogashima, but that is...
17:36A tag that says December.
17:39Why?
17:41The reason why they put this tag is...
17:48The demon misunderstood it.
17:50On the day of the festival, the demon came to my house and wrote December.
17:56Originally, the festival is in February, but he misunderstood it and went home.
18:03It's a custom that goes back to the festival, but why is it December?
18:08It seems that people who have lived here for a long time do not know.
18:14There are various customs,
18:17but Setsubun is generally wrapped in beans.
18:21But!
18:24You don't have to wrap beans in Setsubun.
18:29Do you have a name?
18:32What is that?
18:35There are quite a few names around you.
18:40What do you think the name is?
18:43Sato or Takahashi.
18:46It's common.
18:49I don't think so.
18:51I think it's a person who wears clothes like a demon.
18:55Like Mr. Kito.
18:59Mr. Watanabe, please give me the correct answer.
19:05This is Watanabe.
19:09That's right.
19:11Mr. Watanabe, don't you wrap beans in Setsubun?
19:14I used to do it when I was a kid.
19:18I was in kindergarten.
19:21Suddenly the window shook.
19:24I looked in the garden and there was a big man wearing a demon mask.
19:29There was a big guy.
19:31I fainted when I saw it.
19:35That was my father.
19:38I used to do that.
19:40I used to wrap beans in Setsubun when I was a kid.
19:44But I stopped doing it when I became an adult.
19:48I heard about Mr. Watanabe in the city.
19:53My name is Watanabe.
19:55I don't wrap beans in Setsubun.
19:57I've never done it.
19:59I've never wrapped beans in Setsubun at home.
20:02My name is Watanabe.
20:04I don't wrap beans in Setsubun.
20:06I don't think it's related to Setsubun.
20:08My name is Watanabe.
20:10I used to do it when I was a kid.
20:13But I heard that Mr. Watanabe doesn't do it.
20:16So I stopped doing it.
20:18I haven't done it for about 10 years.
20:21I don't know if my grandparents have done it.
20:24But I've never seen them doing it.
20:27My name is Watanabe.
20:30When I was a kid, I used to wrap beans in Setsubun.
20:36But I stopped doing it.
20:39I heard that Mr. Watanabe doesn't have to do it.
20:43I see.
20:47Mr. Watanabe, why don't you have to wrap beans in Setsubun?
20:51I heard that Mr. Watanabe is strong.
20:56I only know that he is strong.
20:59But I don't know why he is strong.
21:02The reason why he is strong is that he goes back to the Heian period.
21:07In the Heian period, there was a warrior named Tsuna Watanabe.
21:11He defeated a demon.
21:13Tuna Watanabe defeated a demon.
21:16He was afraid of the demon and didn't come to his house.
21:21He didn't come to Mr. Watanabe's house, so he doesn't have to wrap beans in Setsubun.
21:25That's what I heard.
21:28In fact, there is another warrior who doesn't have to wrap beans in Setsubun.
21:32It's Mr. Sakata.
21:35He defeated a demon with Tuna Watanabe.
21:38He was afraid of the demon and didn't come to Mr. Sakata's house.
21:44Sakata Kintoki was named Kintaro when he was a kid.
21:49He is the son of Masakari Katsui.
21:54I see.
21:56Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Sakata don't have to wrap beans in Setsubun.
22:02But in some areas, residents don't have to wrap beans in Setsubun.
22:07It's Ashigata in Utsuno, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
22:16In this area, a demon was defeated.
22:19It is said that you don't have to wrap beans in Setsubun because there is no demon.
22:22Why?
22:24There is a legend.
22:26Once upon a time, there was a demon who came to the village and did bad things.
22:29One day, a fisherman shot a demon with a gun and injured it.
22:33The injured demon ran away to the temple and asked the monk for medicine.
22:40The monk told the demon that this is a wound medicine.
22:44He gave the demon gunpowder and a flint stone.
22:47He told the demon that the wound would be healed if the demon was warmed with fire.
22:52The demon returned to Sumika and loaded gunpowder into the wound.
22:57When the demon set fire to the wound, the demon exploded.
23:01The demon was torn apart and exploded.
23:04It's cruel.
23:06There is no demon, so there is no need to wrap beans in Setsubun.
23:09The monk looks calm.
23:12I guess the demon was doing such a bad thing.
23:16This year, Setsubun will be held on February 2nd.
23:21I didn't know that Setsubun would be held on February 2nd.
23:28I thought it would be held on February 3rd.
23:31Setsubun will be held on February 3rd?
23:34I didn't know that.
23:36I thought it would be held on February 3rd.
23:38I thought this calendar was wrong.
23:41Is it held tomorrow?
23:43Yes, tomorrow.
23:44Really?
23:46It was held once on February 2nd four years ago.
23:49Until then, it was held on February 3rd for 36 years.
23:53Many people think that February 3rd is Setsubun.
23:57In fact, the date of Setsubun changes depending on the year.
24:01In the first place, Setsubun is the end of the season.
24:06So it is held four times a year.
24:09However, only February Setsubun, which changes from winter to spring, is held in general.
24:17Because the calculation method is different from the calendar,
24:21the date of Setsubun is not fixed.
24:26In the next four years,
24:29February 2nd is Setsubun the year after Uruudo.
24:34So if you think it is February 3rd,
24:36you may forget February 2nd.
24:40So please be careful.
24:46Ikegami-ryu News Trivia
24:51More than 300,000 yen per person.
24:54There are more companies like that.
24:57There is also good news.
25:0210 million yen a year.
25:06You can't buy an apartment.
25:0910 million yen a year.
25:11Why?
25:13Recently, there are more than 100 million yen auctions.
25:19This is the average price of a new apartment in the capital.
25:23Last year, it was 8,110,000 yen.
25:27It's a lot of money.
25:29It's a lot of money.
25:32In Tokyo, the average price is more than 110 million yen.
25:37It's going up.
25:39Why do you think so?
25:41The price of land is rising.
25:44The price of real estate is rising.
25:47That's right.
25:49It's cheap.
25:51The cost of building materials is rising.
25:54You have to import a lot of building materials from abroad.
25:57If you make it cheap, it will be very expensive.
25:59It's hard to build a house.
26:03That's why it's going up.
26:08In addition, the reason for the rapid rise in recent years is...
26:12Because the supply of ultra-high-priced properties has increased.
26:18After the end of the coronavirus, economic activity has returned.
26:22The city is in a state of recession.
26:25High-spec high-priced properties are built one after another to meet factory conditions such as basement.
26:34And another reason is...
26:39The 2025 problem.
26:432025 is this year.
26:46One in five people will be over 75 years old.
26:52I'm the same.
26:54In the last few years, more and more experienced carpenters have quit their jobs.
26:59If there are fewer carpenters, there will be a shortage of people.
27:03Of course, the remaining carpenters will be taken over.
27:07It's going to cost a lot of money.
27:10The cost of building materials is rising.
27:14You can't buy an apartment for 10 million yen a year.
27:18When you buy real estate, you usually get a house loan.
27:24Generally, the amount of money you borrow is six to seven times a year.
27:31If you calculate that, the amount of money that 10 million yen a year can borrow is up to 70 million yen.
27:37It's a situation where it doesn't reach the average price in the capital.
27:44There is also news that companies are pulling up their first-time employees.
27:49But...
27:52It's not that they're making a lot of money.
27:56There's no way to secure human resources because of a shortage of people.
28:02That's why middle- and high-year salaries, which used to be a lot of money, have been cut short.
28:09It's still a tough situation to buy an apartment.
28:14Then, who is buying auctions in Japan now?
28:21Mr. Nassan.
28:23I think it's overseas.
28:26That's right.
28:28It means that foreigners have a lot of money.
28:31It's cheap, isn't it?
28:33If you look at it from overseas, you can buy an apartment so cheaply.
28:37That's what it looks like.
28:39Or, recently, hotels in Tokyo have been increasing in number.
28:45If you have that much money, you can buy an apartment.
28:48There are people who buy it in cash.
28:52In addition, the purpose of the investment is that foreigners have a lot of money.
28:57The price of a new apartment is rising, but the price of used apartments is also rising.
29:03So even if you buy it at a high price, if it's a good property,
29:06If you have it for 10 years, you can sell it for 30 to 50 percent more.
29:12It's like buying an apartment as a financial product.
29:18By the way, is there a limit to foreigners buying real estate in Japan?
29:23There is no limit.
29:25Japan is a free capitalist country, so anyone can buy anything.
29:30When the bubble broke out, Japanese companies bought more and more land in the United States.
29:34They bought a lot of land.
29:37So Japan can buy land freely.
29:39When foreigners buy more and more, the price goes up.
29:44There are a lot of investment companies in Japan.
29:47Even if 400 million or 500 million expensive properties are sold,
29:52Investors buy it.
29:54They buy it because they are conscious of the rise.
29:56But foreigners buy it because it's cheap.
29:59In the future, if this price goes up,
30:00For foreigners, Japanese apartments are expensive.
30:03I don't know what will happen.
30:06There are people who say it's a bubble, and there are people who say it's not a bubble yet.
30:11As a result, the price of the apartment is going up.
30:19Speaking of February, it's the exam season.
30:22It's going to be news about the real thing.
30:26Actually
30:29More than half of the examinees
30:34It was decided to pass last year.
30:39What is this?
30:41I can't hear you.
30:43Is this a good story?
30:45Exams now are very different from the old days.
30:48There are three types of admission to the university.
30:53In addition to the general selection of the main academic exam,
30:58School recommendation type selection
31:04In the past, it was called the A.O. admission.
31:08There is a general selection that selects students who meet the personification required by the university.
31:15Recommendation type and general type
31:18Documents and interviews are the main admission.
31:23The schedule is different.
31:24General selection is after the end of the year.
31:28Recommendation type and general type
31:31Results come out in mid-December.
31:34These two are called annual admissions.
31:38Annual admissions are increasing.
31:41General selection is decreasing.
31:44Recommendation type and general type
31:47It's finally over 50%.
31:50More than half of the examinees have already secured a place to study.
31:54There are quite a few people who have already finished the exam last year.
32:00Recommendation type and general type
32:03The major feature of the current exam is that the number of annual admissions has increased.
32:08Then why is the number of annual admissions increasing due to the decrease in general selection?
32:15It's because it's fluttering.
32:17It's because it's fluttering at the end of the year.
32:20I'll change it a little.
32:24The number of annual admissions is increasing.
32:27It's because it's fluttering.
32:30It's because it's fluttering at the end of the year.
32:32It's not because it's fluttering.
32:34Mr. Nassan, what do you think?
32:36The number of examinees is decreasing due to the decrease in general selection.
32:41I think the school wants to recruit smart and talented students.
32:50That's right.
32:51While the number of children is decreasing, the number of universities is increasing.
32:56It's about recruiting children.
32:59Please take a look at this.
33:01The number of 18-year-olds has decreased to nearly half of what it was 30 years ago.
33:08It is expected that the number will decrease to 200,000 in 15 years.
33:13On the other hand, the number of universities is increasing.
33:17The number of universities is increasing.
33:21The number of universities is decreasing, but the number of universities is increasing.
33:24Why?
33:26The university should compete with each other.
33:28If the university competes with each other and loses, the university will collapse.
33:31If the university wants to build a university, it should admit it.
33:37So the number of universities has increased.
33:40In particular, Watakushiritsudai is very strict.
33:43Currently, 60% of the Watakushiritsudai is a branch of the government.
33:47the students can't meet the requirements.
33:50In general selection, there are no applicants,
33:53so we increase the total type and the recommended type,
33:56and we try to secure them by the end of the year.
34:02If you try to be an examinee,
34:04you want to pass the exam as soon as possible and finish the exam.
34:09The desire of the students and the university is in harmony,
34:13and the total and recommended types are increasing.
34:17Now, there are no applicants by general selection.
34:21There is a university like that.
34:25In terms of ability,
34:27the number of students who haven't studied much increases, right?
34:30Well, in general theory, there is such a thing.
34:33In other words, the students who studied hard for the entrance exam
34:38will be decided within the year,
34:40so if they play from there and don't study at all,
34:45the students will be in trouble.
34:47So, some universities,
34:49after the entrance exam is decided,
34:51for example, send a textbook and say,
34:53please study by yourself,
34:55please do this until you get in.
34:57There are places like that.
35:15The Great Escape
35:21Speaking of entrance exams,
35:23this is also a big difference from the old days.
35:28The cunning is high-tech,
35:33but the countermeasures are also high-tech?
35:40For example, last year, there was such a policy, right?
35:44I used a smart glass.
35:46A glass-shaped computer.
35:48I got a smart glass at Waseda University
35:50and it was given to me.
35:52How did I do it?
35:54Actually, I secretly took a picture of the problem,
35:57transferred the image to a hidden smartphone,
36:00and posted it on SNS.
36:03I asked them to solve this problem.
36:06And for the person who sent me the answer,
36:09I paid with e-payment.
36:13This entrance exam student
36:15excluded the exam problem
36:17and obstructed the university's business,
36:20so the document was confiscated
36:22due to violation of the discipline.
36:24It's a little complicated.
36:26You can't get the answer
36:28even if you bring your smartphone like this, right?
36:30Oh, that's what it is.
36:32Because you put it out to the outside world
36:34and get it from the outside, right?
36:36I think it's better not to go to university.
36:38Electronic devices are small.
36:41Because they can be worn,
36:43there are problems all over the world.
36:48For example, in China,
36:50where 13 million people take the exam every year,
36:55the measures are also high-tech.
36:58In order not to get various information on a smartphone,
37:01we install a radio interference device.
37:04Wow, that's amazing.
37:06However, there was an exam student
37:08who brought a device
37:10so that he could not enter
37:12unless he had a physical examination
37:14with a metal detector.
37:16Wow, that's amazing.
37:18If he had that ability,
37:20he should have entered such a company.
37:22That's right.
37:24In addition, in the exam room,
37:26he took a picture with a camera
37:28and detected suspicious movements
37:30with an AI.
37:32That's what he was doing.
37:34The method of cheating is also high-tech.
37:36The measures are also getting more and more high-tech.
37:39It's like a race.
37:41That's right.
37:43If I have time to think about it,
37:45I think I should really study.
37:47If I have time to think about it,
37:49I think I should really study.
37:51In Japan,
37:53for example,
37:55there is a common test.
37:57You put your smartphone on the desk
37:59and turn off the power.
38:01Then you put it in your bag.
38:03That's what you're actually doing.
38:05But you do it all at once.
38:08If it's a big classroom,
38:10it's hard to see each and every one of them.
38:12It's hard to see each and every one of them.
38:14In the end,
38:16during the exam,
38:18the teacher comes and goes
38:20between the desks.
38:22You have to continue
38:24the extremely analog measures.
38:26In the United States,
38:28this kind of trivia
38:30is unthinkable in Japan.
38:34In the United States,
38:37even if you ignore the traffic light,
38:39it's not a violation.
38:41it's not a violation.
38:43What?
38:45What?
38:47In New York,
38:49this kind of rule began.
38:51If a pedestrian ignores the traffic light
38:53or crosses a pedestrian crossing,
38:55he will be fined
38:57$250,
38:59or about 39,000 yen.
39:01But from this month,
39:03he is no longer subject to detention.
39:06Why do you think so?
39:08Why?
39:10Do you have the spirit
39:12to protect yourself?
39:14Don't rely on the traffic light.
39:16The background of this is
39:18racial discrimination.
39:20Why?
39:22Because of racial discrimination,
39:24it's okay to ignore the traffic light?
39:26Because of racial discrimination,
39:28it's okay to ignore the traffic light?
39:30When a white police officer
39:32tries to cross a red light,
39:34racial discrimination is the background.
39:36racial discrimination is the background.
39:38In the United States,
39:40police treatment of non-whites
39:42has become a social issue,
39:44and police officers
39:46have made black people die.
39:48have made black people die.
39:50There is such data.
39:52In New York,
39:54the population ratio of black people
39:56and Latin people is about 50%.
39:58In New York,
40:00the population ratio of black people
40:03and Latin people
40:05is about 50%.
40:07In New York,
40:09the population ratio of black people
40:11and Latin people
40:13is about 50%.
40:15In New York,
40:17if you remove the traffic light,
40:19you can eliminate racial discrimination.
40:21you can eliminate racial discrimination.
40:23But if you don't,
40:25you can't ignore the traffic light.
40:27you can't ignore the traffic light.
40:29you can't ignore the traffic light.
40:32I felt the difference in the culture
40:34I felt the difference in the culture
40:40This is a trivia that
40:42you can't imagine in Japan.
40:46In the United States,
40:48you can't catch
40:50a gang of peddlers.
40:52a gang of peddlers.
40:54A gang of peddlers.
40:56I don't understand.
40:58Why do you think this is?
41:01There are too many people.
41:03I can't catch them all.
41:05I can't catch them all.
41:07I gave up.
41:09I gave up.
41:11America is a gun society.
41:13America is a gun society.
41:15If you find a gang of peddlers in a supermarket,
41:17If you find a gang of peddlers in a supermarket,
41:19you might be stopped and shot.
41:21you might be stopped and shot.
41:23That's why the security of the store
41:25that's why the security of the store
41:27is not good for peddlers.
41:29There are a lot of places where they're telling you not to buy it.
41:33So even if you load the cart with products and go out proudly,
41:36the clerk is just looking at it.
41:38If you try to stop it by accident, you may be shot and killed by a gun.
41:42It's like a cry for help.
41:44Well, that's right.
41:45After all, America is a free society,
41:47so there are risks like that,
41:49and there are times when everyone can't take it by accident.
41:53In addition, in the United States,
41:55there is a rule in the state that the amount of damage is a light crime
42:00and that many people do not go to prison.
42:06There are areas where people who have accepted that
42:10the amount of damage is not a big crime
42:13are repeating abuse and theft.
42:16There are such areas.
42:20Why is there such a rule?
42:24This is a situation unique to the United States.
42:28In the past, everyone was caught and put in prison if they were convicted.
42:34Now, the United States is full of prisons,
42:37and it is very difficult to put people in prison.
42:41America is the country with the largest number of prisoners in the world.
42:46Let's compare it with Japan.
42:48In Japan, the number of prisoners is 48,881.
42:54This is 33 out of 100,000 people.
42:58What about America?
43:001,888,000 people.
43:02541 out of 100,000 people.
43:08So even if you get caught,
43:10you can't get in because there are so many prisons.
43:13It's a story that you don't have to go to prison for light crime.
43:20For example, in California,
43:23theft under $ 950 was considered a light crime,
43:28but since the security has deteriorated so much,
43:32this rule was abolished last year.
43:36I can only think of some of the things that are going on right now.
43:40It doesn't make sense to me at all.
43:42It's not about how to stop racism,
43:46but it's like ignoring the traffic lights.
43:50I don't understand it at all.
43:52I feel like it's evolving in a strange direction.
43:57It's about America,
43:59but when you go on a trip or work,
44:03if you do what you think is normal and right over there,
44:08it could turn out to be a terrible thing.
44:12If you don't really look into the country,
44:15you can't protect your own safety.
44:19You want to be careful.
44:21If you look at it in front of you,
44:24you might be in danger.
44:27Is it better not to go to America?
44:29No, it's not like that.
44:30There are good and bad things about New York.
44:33It's better to see what it's like.
44:37For example, there are a lot of Korean people in Times Square in Manhattan, New York.
44:44It says gun-free zone over there.
44:48What does that mean?
44:49Gun-free zone.
44:50It means you can't bring in guns.
44:52Oh, I see.
44:53So you can't bring in guns.
44:56That's why it's called smoking-free.
45:00Free doesn't mean freedom.
45:02It means you can't do it.
45:03Oh, it's freedom.
45:05If you go to Times Square,
45:07it says gun-free zone.
45:09It means you can't bring in guns other than the police.
45:13So you might be a little safer here than anywhere else.
45:17It's just a possibility.
45:19It's completely different depending on the region.
45:22I hope you can make a good judgment after checking it out.
45:28America I Want to Teach to My 20-year-Old Self is on sale!
45:33President Trump will explain what will happen to the world and Japan.
