 Due to a bumper harvest of melons, the price of each has dropped by about 200 to 300 yen. On the other hand, the harvest of cherries, which are also in season, has decreased. The prefecture is providing guidance to producers in preparation for shipping cherries. It's a good thing that melons are expected to come down in price at a time when many things are rising in price. Melon is my favorite fruit, so I would like to eat a lot of it. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/6fe162dc33cc5b2dd42fe5eca74e6e53f8a927ae

 In response to the recent rise in prices, Tokyo has decided to make the basic water fee free. For average households, this will reduce the burden from 860 yen to 1,460 yen per month. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government aims to reduce the burden on households caused by rising prices, encourage the use of air conditioners, and help prevent heatstroke. In addition, the government will subsidize the equivalent amount of the basic water fee to municipalities that take the same initiative as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, making the basic water fee free throughout the city. I don't pay for the water myself, so I use water without worrying about the price, but I want to be aware that I can use water because I can pay the water bill, and I want to use water carefully from now on. I also want to see efforts to make water free of charge not only in Tokyo but all over the country. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20250520/k10014810631000.html

 This is the first time I've heard the term "cat harassment." This is a scene where a cat blocks your way on your morning commute and you can't get to work. I also have a cat, and every day on my way to school or work, I lose track of time because my cat is so cute. This is cat harassment. https://maidonanews.jp/article/15744210

 Duquette has been spreading the good things about Japan by spreading the word about sake and Japanese food culture to foreigners. I was surprised to hear that she was not good at English. I could empathize because I also felt that I was not good at English. By learning English, which is a common language, she has been able to hold various exchange events with foreigners. Also, in Canada, garbage is used as compost. This is a great contribution to creating a sustainable society. Duquette is working to promote Japanese sake and food culture, and to achieve the 17 goals of the SDGs. Our company wants to come up with a project that takes advantage of the good things about Japan while also being environmentally friendly. Duquette talked about what it means to have a purpose in life when you can make money, do what you like, what you're good at, and what's in demand. A purpose in life can be small and difficult to find. However, watching Duquette, she seemed to enjoy talking about h...

 On the 8th, at around 12:00 pm, a collision occurred between a woman and a man on a large motorcycle while crossing the road at a national highway intersection in Saitama Prefecture. Both the woman and the man died. I recently got my license and started driving a car, so this is a problem that is very close to me. Looking at the graph, the number of traffic accidents is decreasing. However, as long as you are driving a car, there is always a risk. We must not forget that if we make a mistake, we could kill someone. If you drive for a long time, you will get used to it, but you must always drive with a sense of tension. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/006f860b7fcd31f2aafd827c122f72e9aa913428

 A fishing boat capsized in Miyagi Prefecture, and six people were rescued. Interviews with people involved revealed that the boat lost balance because it was loaded with too many sardines. I was amazed that they caught so many sardines that they capsized the boat.With the large amount of sardines caught, we can expect to see them available at low prices in supermarkets. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/efc864f5b6960988b6cb4a387f4e89c6c4c371a2
