Hard power + Soft power = Smart power
You can use power and it can
change someone’s action. In this
article, power is same meaning of
authority. Today, at international
relation, there are three types of
powers. The powers are called
Hard power, Soft power, and
Smart power.

Overall, it is the first time to carry on hands-on activity in the university. There is a purpose to examine
the effect of the introduction of hands-on activity in the gap term. They plan to set up 44 programs, for example, working in disabled facilities in
Malaysia, participating in research activity with Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in Minamisanriku, Miyagi prefecture, adhering to the entrepreneur as assistant and so on. Tokyo University also intends to offer
a scholarship for some program.
Tokyo University student, Kiori Kato who agrees with this program said “I
think spring enrollment causes impediment to study abroad, and if we shift the enrollment from April to September, it is necessary to examine how
they make good use of gap term. My Chinese friend had gone to Japanese
language school for half a year after she graduated from high school. In order to enrich the internationalization without this step, fall enrollment has
important meaning.”
On one hand, the internationalization of Japanese universities being
promoted, and on the other hand, the rate of Japanese students who study abroad has been declining. According to the research by the Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and technology, the number of
Japanese students who study abroad is 66,833 people in 2008, and it has dropped 11% from the previous year.
“I don’t have any plan to study abroad now. There are many foreigner students, and we have a reasonably well-equipped study environment at my
university. Even though the rate has dropping, International conscious has
being strongly among Japanese student, I think. ” She said.
The biggest reason why they don’t study abroad is economic cause. They
have a resistance to be dependent on the family economically, are reluctant to study abroad. Social systems also are involved. For example, Spring
enrollment and overlapping with the period of job hunting.
“It’s insufficient to be international university like American university in
this social situate, so I want to have international outlook by myself rather
than just depending on university and government.”
As Japan's highest institution of learning, they are trying to lead the
transformation of the educational environment. Tokyo University’s challenge becomes the focus of public attention, and it is certain that this
movement will effect on not only other universities, but also Japanese
society. A few years later, our lives might have changed significantly.
Marathon recover our Health & Economy
The first Aqua-line Marathon race will be held in Kisarazu, Chiba in Oct 21st.
It is a full-length marathon, and runners will run for about 11 km in 42.195
km on the Aqua-line. During the race, the Aqua-line will be closed for six
hours.
The fixed number was 15,000, but more than 27,000 people applied for it. The governor of Chiba Prefecture hopes that it will be successful in order to
recover the condition of Kisarazu which has some economic problems.
My mother, Machiko Ohinata, 53, said” I will take part in the race to improve my health and a sense of accomplishment. Even though I am over
50 years old, I have a confidence to complete the race. I also want to take
part in the Tokyo Marathon race in the future. Anyway I have to get the right of participation.”
This marathon is unusual and exciting because I have never heard the marathon race that people can run on the sea. In addition, I worried about
economic conditions in Kisarazu. However, recently, the traffic volume of
the Aqua-line is increasing thanks to the open of Mitsui Outlet Park in Kisarazu and cut in price. I think that these will help my hometown.
Moreover, now, people who care about their health including my mother are increasing. In fact, she has felt better than before since she started
walking and running. Therefore, I want many people to think about their
own health on that occasion and hope that it will be successful without any accidents or disaster.
The Most Chic Day in KUIS
The wafuku party was hold in SALC on July 19 Thursday. In this party,
many students and ELI teachers wore Yukata or Jinbei which are traditional
Japanese clothes, and they seemed to have a wonderful time.
The event was a great opportunity to experience Japanese traditional
culture. Nowadays even Japanese, many people do not often wear wafuku.
Tomomi Kaku, a KUIS student said, “I feel that I can be an adult lady when
I wear the Yukata. I usually wear it once or twice a year, so I want to wear it more as Japanese. In addition, it is the real taste to arrange my hair style
and Obi.”
Joanne Mynard who is from England, an ELI teacher in KUIS said, “I felt
hot and worried that the line of my body is out. I borrowed this Yukata
from another ELI teacher for today. I love this design and color.”
We have great culture, but we tend to take something new. Sometimes, we should be prouder of own culture, and then we may be able to find some
graces.
National
Agree or disagree?
Japan’s sales Tax is planning
increase.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced he
wants to raise the consumption tax from 5% now to 8% by
April 2014 and finally their goal is 10% sales tax by October
2015.
Actually, Japan is in crisis of economy, one of the reasons is
that we are in the Koreika-syakai (aging society) and then,
Japanese government should give many people who are
alder enough money to their surviving. However, Japanese
government said that they don’t have enough money to
provide them it. So that, the government wants to cover by
money from sales tax.
We asked people “Do you agree this plan, or not?” and, 60%
people doesn’t agree it. The reasons are that we will have to
pay more money than now, and the tax is not for everyone
but only alder people. And, there are things that the
government have to improve, such as to improve the rate of
employment. The other 40%
people we asked say that it is best way to exploit from
every people.
However, Noda made a promise that he wouldn’t increase
sales tax before he became the president of Japan. Do you
think it is good way or bad way?
Why changed?
-Step In’s performance was
finished.-
Step In is one of the most famous dance clubs in KUIS.
They have two big performances in a year, summer and
winter. This year, summer performance was held on
7/19(Thu), 7/20(Fri), 7/21(Sat).
At first their performance was planned on 7/18(Wed),
7/19(Thu), 7/20(Sat) and they said the date officially.
However, they changed the performance date.
They reserved the dance hall to their performance after 4th
comma, because 4th
comma has a class. It means that they
can’t use the dance hall during 4th
comma. And before start
it, they should prepare music instruments, stage lights, seats,
and movies, it takes time. And always, their performance is
held after 4th
comma, and if the time became late, they can’t
finish before school closing.
So that, they decided to change the date, but the dance
hall was reserved every day. The club’s leader, Kanae Imai
asked every group, every teacher who reserved the dance
hall to borrow it, and finally, they could get 7/19(Thu)!
The performance was finished successfully thanks for
many people efforts.
Politics
Obama Support Homosexual
Will Be Able to Get
- Married in Same-sex?-
Denying gay marriage is discrimination
against gay. However, Mr. Romney who is Mr.
Obama’s rival disagree that. He believes
Mormonism and this religion prohibit
homosexual.
According to the poll, 50% of people argue
that gay marriage should be allowed to by law,
48% of people disagree that.
Therefore, if Mr. Obama is reelected a
president, will be able to get married in same-sex
in U.S? In addition, if it becomes that, what
kinds if influence would you have on the world?

Smartphone’s Evolution
A Smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile computing platform, with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a feature phone the first smart phones mainly combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone or camera phone. Today's models also serve to combine the functions of portable media players, low-end compact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units.
Modern smart phones typically also include touch screens, web browsers that can access and properly show standard web pages rather than just mobile-optimized sites, and high-speed data access via Wi-Fi and mobile broadband. The distinction between smart phones and feature phones can be obscure and there is no official definition for the difference between them. One of the most important differences is that the advanced application programming interfaces on smart phones can allow those applications to have better unification with the phone's OS and hardware than is typical with feature phones.
About 18 percent of total world population possesses some kind of smart phone by 2012, compared to 12 percent in 2010 and 8 percent in 2008.
Cloud Computing
The Cloud Computing is one of the most
modern techniques today. In the first place, the cloud computing is a computer formation that is based on the network, especially the Internet. The user of the computer uses the handling of the computer as a service via the network. The conventional computer use was the system that the users keep the hardware, software, and data by their own self. On the other hand, the cloud computing is the system just that the user of it receive the service from the other side of the Internet and purchase the charge. All the users of the cloud computing need are the least circumstance of
the connection. The computer and the networks between the computers which are indeed carried out the handling are set on the side of the enterprise.

On the scene which thinks the attraction for small children and passes along a graveyard in the middle, they were contents which an adult can also fully enjoy a seat shaking to the good timing in the midst of throbbing in great fear, a sound effect Becoming or water flying suddenly in a certain scene. I think that is an attraction which does not get bored in the same contents either so that it carries out each time. The moment of the woman who sat next having been surprised thoroughly as me, and flying up was most surprised. Although I had not seen the movie of Shrek, the small play before a show had also become contents which this editing can also enjoy enough, of course.

KUIS T-shirts
Our university has an original t-shirts “KUIS T-shirts”. Most of university has original goods. Our university’s traditional goods are T-shirts.
We have KUIS T-shirts day in a year. Why they made the original t-shirts or goods? Not only university is making the original goods. Other company also made the original things. The biggest reason is they want to sail or propaganda the BRAND
. Most of company said it’s hard to made the original things but its good way to sail the own companies brand. Its good things to made the own brand and sailed it.
But we should have to careful about that. The original is not might be original some times. That’s why we should have to protect the own brand by our hands.
Old but Beautiful
Kimono is the oldest style in Japan. Yukata also old style. Old people were wearing the kimono when they go out or see the stage play. Yong and old people using the yukata in summer when they go to “Omaturi” or see the fireworks.
But why Japanese people still using the Kimono and Yukata? Miss Yukiko whom my grand mother said “when I wearing the Kimono I feel comfortable. Its old style but its very old culture in Japan. So we should have to transmit this culture to the next generation. That is my mission I think”
The kimono style is simple but there is a very deep and beautiful culture background.

New style of KYARY and HARAJUKU FASHION
Kyary pamyupamyu is the popular singer and fashion model. She always wears the colorful and eccentric fashion. This fashion called “Harajyuku Fashion”.
Before the Kyary was appear this style was not famous, but now this style was accept for many young people. Many models have this fashion. Maybe you know KIMURA KAERA NAKA RIASA. They are the popular models and wears “Harajyuku Fashion”. We have some doubts about “Harajyuku Fashion”.
Why this fashion became more popular in Japan? Why carry like this fashion? So I ask the people in Harajyuku why you use Harajyuku Fashion. I interviewed people who like and wear “Harajyuku Fashion”. The biggest reason is that they can made the own style without other peoples mind. Kyary also said this fashion made me stronger and feel free. And it is said that the reason for the popular side in the public sense of intimacy is easy, to be the role model.
We think “Harajyuku Fashion” will more famous than now effect by many reasons.

Why the Yoga boom happen
BY ERINA &SUGURU
Yoga is thought as healthy activity these days, but it
is originally way of training which came from ancient India.
In ancient times, yoga is mainly just thinking without moving.
Its purpose is stabilizing my mind and keeps myself original.
After that, yoga had changed silent to moving style. Now
yoga conduced all over the world is this moving style.
Recently Yoga is the one of worldwide fitness boom and
women especially are boom. Why Yoga that was come from
India is boom in the world? Because Hollywood famous figure
do Yoga and people do Yoga from these people’s effect. Now
Yoga boom spread in U.S.A and U.K and France, Germany.
People do Yoga in U.S.A population are higher than India.
There are many studios in the city and there are magazines
about Yoga. The sports maker “PUMA” made Yoga wear, so
Yoga are given big effect for any direction.
What is the Yoga effect for human health? People do Yoga
will be strong and don’t have a cold. Yoga not only influences
body, but also human’s mind. Yoga makes people to calm
down. Yoga are good for lose weight. For example people
aren’t being constipation and make people to good posture.
These effects are reason why Yoga is boom between women.
Medicine
The magic powder
fixes the finger If you cut the part of body, do you think the doctor
can fix this part? Most people think we can’t fix the part of
body. However the medical technology can fix the finger or
another part of the body that were cut off.
The powder
called “Pixie
dust” is said
to it can fix
human’s part
of the body.
In 2005 the
man cut his
finger and
couldn’t find
that. After
that his
brother who
is the doctor
told his
magic
powder
“Pixie dust”.
The man dusted this powder after that he left one day and he
continued this process for four weeks. His finger fixed through
the magic powder. After four weeks, there weren’t injuries in
his finger. Now he can do work with his finger.
How work the magic powder for his finger? According to the
doctor, this technology is one of regenerate medical science.
The magic powder made by the element of pig’s bladder. This
element has a effect of activation to another element. When
the magic powder dusted to the blank body, this element
picked up body sell left over. This technology started in the
U.S. and now the doctors use this technology for animals.
However this technology has some problems, because the
magic powder may have some viruses that kind of infectious
disease, and the pig’s gene may move into human’s gene.
“Pixie dust” called the magic powder and these effects is great
and wonderful, but there are some problems and take time to
use for human’s treatment. (Photo by The man who grew

If you lost a way to access to water, what would
you do? You must feel thirst at first, and you become
stupefied. You might dream of turning on the water and you
can not think anything but water...
It was caused in real in Bolivia. In 2000, Bolivia
had experienced a big social conflict, “The Water War”. An
American water company, Bechel, took over the water
public service in Cochabamba, Bolivia. A lot of people who
did not have enough money to buy water for fleshing the
toilet, taking a shower, washing clothes, and drinking water.
In addition, this is one of the worst parts of the law, they did
not allowed to collect rain. Their life was stood on the edge
of a precipice. That is why Bolivians started protest
movements for the right to live. At the result, they could
establish four great achievements. First, the contract with
Bachel was broken. Second, the law of drinking water and
sanitary sewer was modified. Third, the drinking service
became municipality again. Last, every other projects to
privatize water service went back to the drawing board.
Because of this conflicts, 9 were dead, a hundred got an
injured and 12 were lasted by government.
You may have a big question, WHY BOLIVIAN
GOVERNMENT SOLED A WATER SERVISE TO
UNITED STATES? Because World Bank suggested it to the
government as an international aiding. World Bank (WB) is
an international organization to finance to the organizations
which have a debentures from each countries. Their goal is
to remove a poverty from the world through financing for
the international aid projects. However, every systems of
WB made by the developed countries, and the members of it
are also developed countries people. It is natural every
projects planed by WB are good for not developing
countries but developed countries. The Bolivian conflict is
one of the good ways to show it. (Related Article

Japan is an island. We have been lived with much
water, so we did not have enough opportunities to think
about water. However, I think now is the time to think about
this problem. Some Chinese companies try to buy a piece of
land of Hokkaido to get groundwater. The fresh water is
limited even this country.
International
Sustainable Development
In the field of the international aid, Sustainable Development
is one of the most notable thoughts. During world warⅡTop-
down system, just to give foods, facilities or technologies to
developing countries, was the main way to aid. However, if
the aids were stopped the recipient countries people can not
live anymore. That is why to establish a system they can
continue to develop without aid, Sustainable Development, is
very important for developing countries. These days, this
idea have been spread all over the world.

Hard power is strong and it uses army power and
economic power. For instance, when North Korea doesn’t
cooperate to the world countries, Japan or other countries can do
economic sanctions. For North Korea, economy is important to
keep them so it cannot help following us. It is easy to control
countries or people, but it may be able to make the relationships
bad and bad.
On the other hand, Soft power doesn’t use such a
power. It focuses on culture, history, and information. For
example, Japanese emperor gives some people who came from
foreign country a warm welcome when they come to Japan. It is
one of soft powers. By giving a warm welcome, countries can
get along with each other.
Smart power is the power combined with Hard power
and Smart power. It is useful and helpful to do diplomacy with
foreign countries. Barack Obama who is president of America is
putting forward it.

Other side of World heritage
-The Grand Canyon (US), The Angkor Wat
(Cambodia), The Stonehenge(UK), and Yakushima (JPN)- do
you know what they are? They are called World heritages. The
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) which is organization to contribute
to peace through education, science, and culture is preserving
them. World heritage means beautiful and amazing place or
building where earth and people made and kept protecting.
There are many great places to leave them to posterity so
UNESCO makes a list of them and sometimes hold a
conference to decide whether the places should be become
World heritage.
Do you know these places? - Medieval Monuments
(Kosovo), Tomb of Askia (Mali), and Los Katíos National
Park (Colombia). These are also one of the World heritages,
but they are different from usual World heritages. They are
World heritages in danger. It means they may be broken by
something. UNESCO tries to call many countries to protect
such a World heritages.
At Kosovo, there was a war about independence
and people killed each other using gun or bomb. Nobody took
care of World heritage in Kosovo and the World heritage was
becoming bad bit by bit. Today, Kosovo is still a dangerous
place. So UNESCO made Medieval Monuments decide the
World heritages in danger. Same as reason, Tomb of Askia is
also the World heritages in danger. On the other hand, at
Colombia, the reason is different from previous things. Los
Katíos National Park is one of the World heritages in danger
because of environment. It had a many trees and was filled
with nature but people have cut trees and nature had being
decreased. Finally, UNESCO decided that Los Katíos National
Park became the World heritage in danger in 2009.
Earth and ancient people made many wonderful
things and they have been preserved today. We can watch and
enjoy them but the important thing is to take care of them and
keep them good state for future.

various influences on a fashion business. A fashion is a
mirror which projects a time, and it makes our life
enjoyable.

a life for consumers.
Fashion trend is always changing. Therefore, fashion
businesses always have to think about new clothes for
consumers. Then, they also have to think about the
change of lifestyle sense of values with consumers'
psychology, the economy in the world, and change of
political climate. Like this, fashion is reflecting our life.
Fashion begins from a color. Color is very important to reflect on our background.
The color in fashion exists in every time. So, what do
you think a trend is produced? In fact, the color in
fashion is already determined two years ago. The
organization which is International Study
Communication for Color decides to color by discussing
about the current of the times, and the directivity of a
color in fashion. After that, it is adjusted to the color
united with each culture and situation.
The color in fashion in this spring and summer Recently, “Save power” and “Global warming” is very
important theme. Therefore, it is very important how we
spend life comfortably safely along with saving the
amount of electric used. Today’s point is “visual cool”.
And, in this year, Trend color is “sherbet color”. This
color is clean color, so it makes us cool from visual. If a

UNIQLO Have you ever watched any UNIQLO commercial? When I
saw that commercial on TV, I was frightened. It had not
SOUND. It starts with woman and she is standing middle of
the screen and looking at the camera but she just looking.
And a few minute after she is moving slowly and walk
around, and finally some letterings come into the screen
with the price of clothes which she is wearing in the
commercial and the end. It was very strange. No sound, no
voice, although they made some type of clothes but they just
want to promote the women are wearing products only. The
world has many various types of commercial, but I never
met silence commercial like this. When people doing
something with TV but they do not watch on TV, only
sound and suddenly soundless, we worried about TV and we
may think TV broken, so this is the method. This is very
innovative because I was one of the people who have been
deceived.
Starbucks Coffee’s cost…
When I wake up, first I drink a cup of coffee every morning.
Many people like coffees we drink in our daily life anytime
anywhere. In the world, Starbucks is very famous and
popular café for us, taste is good quality is also good but
sometimes consumer said little overpriced. Yes, sometimes I
think so too, but try to change the idea is? Starbucks
beverages price are included atmosphere. Have you ever
thought Starbucks is fashionable and feel like comfortable?
So, that is Starbucks concept.
