English Comedy

I watched some English comedies in the class.
They were so funny and exciting. However, I think that they were connected to the characters of each people too closely.

I think this because they laugh at the unique character. Of course, Japanese comedy also laughed at a habit, movement of somebody or the way he or she says. But Japanese express misunderstanding in the conversation. Probably, most people laugh at not humanity but misunderstanding or movement caused by it. For example, one of my favorite comedian "Anjash".

So, while I enjoyed them, I felt something different from Japanese comedy.

In addition, I think that laugh makes important effects for merchandise.
We watched many TV commercials everyday. They also need importance providing laugh in order to impress the goods.
If they impress more better imagery to customers, the sales performance become more higher.

Making laugh is different in the each country. However, it is common that laugh has many effective aspects for human and society.

Is Mrriage Becoming a Thing of the Past?

Today, I'd like to talk about marriage.

Nowadays, many Japanese men and women do the "Konkatsu".
It became really so big popularity that TV drama made with this theme.
Konkatsu is the way people who want to marry meet someone who also want do so. It is probably a kind of arranged introductions.
It has many styles. For example, there are introductions with cooking, with drinking at bar for only the single and so on.

Why has "konkatsu" become so popular?
One of the reason is that 30~40 people doesn't have time to get a girlfriend or boyfriend in their daily life. Even though they had experiences dating when they were school studnts, the chance has being less and less.

Secondly, searching the partner through an intermediary has possibility to meet many people more than one searches through own life.

Thirdly, it's not only young people who use this.
50~60 people also use it to look for second partner after divorce.
50~60 is the age which can free from child-care and work. So, some of them decide to divorce and want to get own happiness.

I think that it is the best way to get a partner by myself, but asking a third party to help is also needed and useful.
I'd like to marry someday because I want to get respectful partner and babies. However, if I can't meet such a person by myself, I probably register in the network.
