BGM: Soul II Soul - Back To Life

I worked late today. This morning, a Chinese friend sent me a message on WeChat. We enjoyed chatting for a while in English, and she taught me an interesting idea/idiom to me. It was "the leap of faith", and I found I had never heard therefore googled it. The site told me its meaning which says doing something with a certain courage without hoping any good results too much - then, maybe my life has been a repetition of this kind of "the leaps of faith." It was a good, actual lesson for me.

And, this might be a good example of "the leap of faith" in my life… After chatting with her, I tried to read something or write my English memo - but a feeling of frustration disturbed/interrupted my thought. Therefore I went to the bookstore at AEON, and found a book. It was the one by a famous translator Hiroaki Ike (池央耿『翻訳万華鏡 (this title could be "translation kaleidoscope") 』), and my hunch said to me I should buy it.

I remembered this - Once, when I had adored Haruki Murakami and followed his activities passionately, I dreamed that I could become a pro translator like that Haruki or his friend Motoyuki Shibata (Shibata is also a famous, marvelous translator and also a critic in Japan.) During my college days, I even tried to attend a tiny meeting/seminar a pro translator had in Tokyo. Although it has ended as a dream, I won't say it was just a waste of time.

And - I thought this. Can I still follow that dream from now? Do I still want to do that kind of translation as a job? (even though it is impossible for me to start as a fulltime one.) Of course, I have to do a large amount of effort to find out any good stuff to translate, or find another ones to translate in my own way… Oh, my autistic mind is now starting working so actively. But I shouldn't get hurried up.

Now, my senses work really actively - therefore almost everything I see seems sending me various, interesting messages. I have to stay realistic (because it's now the AI age, therefore it finishes various translation really easily) and think about this twice.

Japanese high school girls are in big trouble in surreal blood-drenched art-house horror Tag (2015)

Japanese high school girls are in big trouble in surreal blood-drenched art-house horror Tag (2015) #MonthOfSpooks #Review

Very much not the bawdy Jeremy Renner comedy vehicle, “Tag” is a movie I’ll cheerfully admit to having tracked down after a bizarre gif piqued my morbid curiosity. Given that the gif shows a scene from the first ten minutes of the movie and it just gets weirder and more bizarre from there, that should give you an idea of what you’re in for.

From cult director Sion Sono, “Tag” brings us the story…

Ok so, Les Mis fandom, hear me out. 

I was going through the list of upcoming Japanese dramas of the year, as one does, when I stumbled upon a scheduled special drama on January 9 in Fuji TV with the name “Les Miserables”. I hadn’t seen anything about this (maybe I missed it because we’re all so focused on BBC Les Mis?) but I though it would be either a dub of bbc les mis aired all together or a recording of the new staging with Park Romi as Madame Thenardier (how cool is that) and Hiroki Miura as Marius. Which sounds like it’s gonna be amazing, but it doesn’t open until April, so it made no sense. 

Turns out it’s neither. It’s a full on special on its own. 

Remember that one time Fox announced a modern day Les Mis where Valjean was a lawyer? This is a modern day Les Mis (kind of?) where Valjean is a lawyer, apparently. I don’t think the script writer was related to that project, so whether it was inspired or not, I don’t know, but it happened. And Valjean is Dean Fujioka. And Karina is in it. 

The plot sounds convoluted and weird af though, and if it wasn’t stated that it’s based on Les Mis I wouldn’t have got it, but here it is for you to read it yourselves, I’m gonna copy-paste what’s in that site I linked: 

Synopsis: One day in Kobe in the 1990s, news of the escape of a juvenile murderer from prison spreads around. Two years earlier, 17-year-old Baba Jun (Yoshizawa Ryo) got into a scuffle with Saito Futoshi (Terawaki Yasufumi), a self-serving man who had cheated his mother Yuko (Tomita Yasuko) of all her money, and killed Saito in self-defence. A high school drop-out, Jun worked hard at part-time jobs to earn money for surgery for his younger brother who suffered from biliary atresia. But he was slapped with criminal charges and thrown into a juvenile corrective institution. One day, Jun hears that his younger brother is in critical condition and breaks out. However, his brother is already dead. A despondent Jun tries to commit suicide but is saved by Tokuda Hiroaki (Okuda Eiji) who runs a self-support facility. He hides his identity and begins to live at the place. This is where he meets a youth Watanabe Takumi (Murakami Nijiro) who aspires to be a lawyer. There is another boy Saito Ryosuke, who is the only son of the man that Jun killed. Ryosuke had cut ties with his unscrupulous parents. But when it became known to the world that his father was killed for committing investment fraud, he was harassed by the media as if he was the assailant’s family even though he was supposed to be the victim’s family. Then the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake hit in 1995. This unprecedented natural disaster significantly changes the lives of the two boys. Some 10 years later, Jun (Dean Fujioka) has assumed Takumi’s identity. He opens a small lawyer’s office in a corner of Shinjuku in Tokyo and takes cases to defend the socially vulnerable. He also rehabilitates delinquent youth and provides free consultation to poor people. Ryosuke (Iura Arata) has become a detective with the Shinjuku Police Precinct’s Community Safety Division. He is in charge of many delinquent youth cases and is enforces strict control over them. One day, Ryosuke meets Takumi while cracking down on a brawl. The two men eventually develop a relationship of trust. However, Ryosuke finds out that this Takumi is his father’s murderer … …

I’m gonna assume that in this scenario, Baba Jun is obviously Valjean (I mean the name sounds close even) and Saito Ryosuke is Javert? Maybe this Takumi is kind of Fauchelevent-ish? I don’t even know, folks. It sounds very weird but I hadn’t heard about this so I thought I’d share in case anyone has seen anything about it to tell me what’s going on. Also, being a special, it’s a one episode thing, so it would be interesting to watch, but it wasn’t picked up by any fansub, so I guess it’s not gonna be around to watch easily, unless someone takes pity and picks it up. 

Anyway, I thought I’d share my amusement with you all. Maybe someone out there knows more about it than I do. And I fear I might be a bother but I’m gonna tag @pilferingapples because I thought the weird adaptation quality of it might be of interest.

Agricultores de Fukushima temem liberação de água contaminada 10 anos após desastre

Por Sakura Murakami

IWAKI, Japão (Reuters) – Agricultores de Fukushima temem que a liberação de água da usina de energia local danificada planejada pelo governo do Japão ressuscite os temores de contaminação e volte a atingir o preço de seus produtos, desfazendo uma década de recuperação lenta do desastre nuclear.

O Japão planeja liberar mais de um milhão de toneladas de água contaminada da usina no nordeste do país no mar depois de tratá-la, já que o local está atingindo seus limites de armazenamento. Embora autoridades internacionais apoiem o plano, ele causa preocupação nas vizinhas China e Coreia do Sul e receio em pescadores e agricultores locais.

"Estamos começando a ver nossos preços voltarem ao normal depois de uma grande queda depois do desastre, mas agora teremos que lidar com o dano potencial de reputação novamente por causa da liberação da água", disse Hiroaki Kusano, um plantador de peras e vice-líder da cooperativa agrícola local.

A água deve ser processada para remover a contaminação radioativa, a não ser do trítio, que não é possível remover. Conforme o plano do governo, a água com o isótopo radioativo diluído a um sétimo das diretrizes da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para a água potável será liberada no Pacífico a um quilômetro da usina perto da primavera de 2023.

Usinas nucleares de todo o mundo costumam liberar água com trítio, considerado o subproduto menos tóxico da energia atômica.

Os produtos de Fukushima passam por várias inspeções de radiação que os agricultores realizam antes do envio, e o município também faz testes regularmente.
