Daughter Asks: “Hey, Data. What is Joshiryoku (Women’s power)?”

866 Name: Pretty madame Posed: Jan. 6, 2014 (Mon.) ID:MH1b/HQwD

When I was reading Cinderella story, she abruptly asked:
“Hey, Dad! What is Joshiryoku (women’s power)?”

I replied promptly:
“Power to work hard for others with pure heart, keeping a smiley face however hard the situation is, like Cinderella”

“Boys in the world like such girls with true steadfast Joshiryoku. Cinderella succeeded in getting married with a prince, didn’t she? How about her elder sister? The prince completely ignored her however beautifully she was dressed or applied makeup, didn’t he?”

My daughter said:
“Just like Mom.”

Furthermore,

“The other day, aunt (my wife’s younger sister) applied heavy makeup and had a luxurious bag and diamond. She said Joshiryoku is the ability to get married with a rich man and live a life of ease whole life long.”

I laughed…

– March 1, 2014 –



Even if a ‘woman with big breasts’ says “it is very inconvenient to have big breasts,” it gives no comfort to a woman with small breasts.

In fact, men tend to instinctively take a liking to women with big breasts. Have you ever had shed tears when your boyfriend says on the bed: “My ex-girlfriend was better,” which makes you think “Ultimately, a woman with big breasts is a winner.”

However, women with small breasts have their own merits! We will let them know the “three advantages of small breasts,” though less merits in sex, based on the results of a questionnaire survey of 120 women in their twenties and thirties.

*1: Look nice in neat dress

They have body shape that fit a fashion of well-off girls such as blouse and one-piece suit. They have no difficulty in choosing a dress and can easily make good impression on their boyfriends “at a critical time.”

As for first impression, they tend to get along better with persons of the same sex than those with big breasts.

*2: No need to care about change in breast shape due to aging

The breast inevitably droops with aging. Women with big breasts cost a lot of time and money to keep the shape of the breast, while women with small breasts do not need to care about a big change in the shape or to have their partners have high expectations for the shape of the breast.

For these reasons, compared with women with big breasts, they can have their partner image that they have the same breast shape as when they were young, and they hardly make others feel the gap due to aging.

*3: Low Divorce Rate

A questionnaire survey on life of married 100 women with big breasts and with small breasts was carried out. The former, with a higher marriage rate in their younger age, have 17 points higher divorce rate.

Another point to note is that it appears that they tend to have better relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage, because of impression of tidiness, as mentioned in the above 1.

It appears that as they get older, women with small breasts improve their advantages. Even if they suffer at this time, looking ahead to the future, they will “appreciate that they have small breasts” in many cases.

It is, of course, the best to find your partner who accepts you as you are regardless of the size of the breast. Unexpectedly, such person might be close to you.

Yanukovich sent letter to Putin asking for Russian military presence in Ukraine 
– It is quite natural that Russia provides military support to Ukraine because the two countries sign a military cooperation agreement. –

Russia maintains that “the fate of ousted Yanukovich should be decided by the people of Ukraine.” I think it holds water. The current government that has hold power by force is illegitimate. Under a critical situation where the violence of ultra-rightist nationalists is spreading across Ukraine and the life of ordinary Jews and Russians is threatened, it is quite natural that Russian provides military support to Ukraine in accordance with a military agreement in response to request since the life of ordinary Jews and Russians is threatened.
As always, the Western elite in control of the media report manipulated facts. It is the leadership of Russia and China that values justice and human rights. The West including Japan tries to justify their position by using the word of democracy but they take action that always destroys democracy.

Yanukovich sent letter to Putin asking for Russian military presence in Ukraine

Russian Ambassador to the UN Churkin shows Yanukovich’s 
letter of request for Russian military intervention

It has been reported that Russian Ambassador to the UN told the UN Security Council that ousted Ukrainian President Yanukovich has sent a letter to President Putin asking him to use military force in Ukraine. Yanukovich who fled Kiev to the Crimea is an elected legitimate president and he has visited there just to protect himself from danger.
A self-claimed president in Kiev is an illegitimate president because he has not been elected. I think it is safe to say that it is a similar situation, for example, where when “anti-Japan Japanese” in Japan, who are agitated by China to hold large-scale demonstrations across the country, attack the prime minister’s office, the prime minister flee to Hokkaido and ask the U.S. army for military cooperation. In this kind of situation, a self-claimed fake prime minister squats in Tokyo.

Although Kiev was geopolitically lost to the Western force because the capital happens to be located in the West, half of Ukraine is against revolution. As a matter of fact, nobody knows what will happen in the future.

Yanukovich sent letter to Putin asking for Russian military presence in Ukraine
[March 3 Russia Today]

Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin says ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich has sent a letter to Putin asking him to use military force in Ukraine to restore law and order.
"Under the influence of Western countries, there are open acts of terror and violence," Churkin quoted the letter from Yanukovich to Putin in the third emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

"People are being persecuted for language and political reasons," Churkin read. ”So in this regard I would call on the President of Russia, Mr. Putin, asking him to use the armed forces of the Russian Federation to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order, stability and defending the people of Ukraine."

After reading the letter, Churkin held up a copy of the original letter from Yanukovich to Putin for council members to look at.

Churkin clarified at the UNSC meeting that Russia’s goal is not to return ousted leader Viktor Yanukovich to power, but acknowledged that he is still the legitimate president of Ukraine and that his fate should be decided by the people of Ukraine.

He stressed the need to "rein in the radicals" operating in Ukraine and asked Ukrainian opposition leaders to dissociate themselves from them.
Churkin added that new information is emerging about more provocations in the works against the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine.
People’s self-defense units were formed in a situation where threats and forceful actions of ultra-nationalists puts at risk the lives of Russian citizens and the Russian-speaking population. The units already managed to prevent the capture of administrative buildings and the smuggling of large amounts of firearms and explosives by radicals, Churkin explained.


US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power followed Churkin’s comments in front of the UN Security Council, saying that Russia's actions regarding Ukraine are a “violation of international law.”

Powers appealed for human rights monitors to be sent to Ukraine, while calling on Russia to “immediately pull back” deployed forces.

Liu Jieyi, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said China condemns the recent extremist violence in Ukraine.
“We urge all sides to resolve differences through legal framework” and to protect rights of all people, Jieyi said.
.................... , some of the regions denounced Kiev and said they would not be taking orders from the new regime.

More than half of the Crimean population are Russian and use only the Russian language for their communication. The residents have announced they will hold a referendum on March 30 to determine the fate of the Ukrainian autonomous region.

Crimean authorities denounced the self-proclaimed government in Kiev and declared that all Ukrainian law enforcement and military deployed in the peninsula must take orders from them. The majority of troops in Crimea switched sides in favor of local authorities.

In the 1990s, the status of Sevastopol became the subject of endless debates between Russia and Ukraine. Following negotiations, the city and surrounding territories were granted a special “state significance” status within the Ukrainian state, and some of the naval facilities were leased to Russia for its Black Sea Fleet until at least 2047. ........... .

Feeling a threat from the self-appointed government, a number of regions have stood up against it. Thousands of people across eastern and southern Ukraine are flooding the streets of major cities, urging local authorities to disobey Kiev’s orders. The local population has deemed the government in Kiev illegitimate, demanding that their local governments refuse to take orders from it.

“Small House Movement” House of Female Self-Builder Pioneer, Dee Williams – Humans Can Live and Work Differently –


“Small House Movement”  House of Female Self-Builder Pioneer, Dee Williams
 – Humans Can Live and Work Differently –

 My family consists of my wife, child and me. We live in a small house, slightly larger than this house. It is a small log house, which cost a total of 2.5 million yen including foundation cost. A small house has merits a big house does not have. No family member is isolated thanks to closer matrimonial and parental relationship. We cannot live comfortably without careful attention to one another and as a result, we get to realize my own and others at a deeper level. Another merit is no need to borrow money from bank because it costs less. If we borrow money from bank, we wind up having to pay back as twice money as the debt to it and we have no money to spare.

Since we are free of debt, we can enjoy having French cuisines at a restaurant when we want to do. When we have 10 million yen, we can enjoy having French cuisine dinner 1,000 times. You will see how huge burden to household economy debt from bank is. As a result, a couple has to work like a horse and spoils an important personal relationship such as conversation between husband and wife and conversation between parent and child.

In a word, it is something like offering life quality in security to build a fine house. This article gives a message that humans can live and work differently.

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: Martin Island ‘Sky, Forest and Water’ – February 28, 2014 –


Among the “small house movement” leading figures is only a female, Dee Williams.

It seems that she originally had a job related to environmental protection. She was clearly conscious of environmental issues. When she was at a loss as to what to do specifically as daily activity, she encountered with a small house designed by Jay Shafer and built this house on her own.

According to her, she got sick of maintaining a big house of 140 square meters she had because she knew the reality that they lived with too few things in developing countries. Then she immediately sold out the house, got a drawing of small house by Shafer and took three months to build this house at the garden of her friend’s house.

Amazingly, it cost approximately 700 thousand yen in total to build her house. The main body cost less than 400 thousand yen if subtracting trailer base and solar system. This is thanks to recycling wood scrap she found. Considering costing less, I suppose DIY devotees might be motivated to follow suit.


According to her, she has less than 300 things in her house. The room interior is quite simple and on the contrary looks wider. The house of about 9 square meters gives the impression of being spacious.


She found a company to support self-builders to follow after her by utilizing her experience of building a small house.

Many female participants are seen in a workshop at home she gives. You just have to buy a kit of small house and have working tools and know-how in order to open up a possibility. Being easy to deal with is a merit that two-by-fours have.

Small house life is supposed to be one proposal for new living environment in the age to come. It is highly likely that independent individual ECO consciousness of ‘simple and small’ will spread as a movement among people. I feel that power to voluntarily put into practice instead of loudly appealing will produce a big swirl.

Imperial Family Warns Against Abe Administration? Crown Prince Vows to “Continue Respecting the Constitution” and Emperor Says “Pacifist Constitution Made the Foundation of the Current Japan.” 
– Person within the Circle of True Elite –  
A person of insight will get the meaning of the remark of Crown Prince Naruhito. It is considerably important because the crown prince belongs to the circle of true elite who control Japan. Those within the circle have probably been reported about the incident I mentioned as a comment on the second article and have clarified their position. In a word, they clearly showed that they would bow to the wishes of the Nathaniel camp.

Imperial Family Warns Against Abe Administration? Crown Prince Vows to “Continue Respecting the Constitution” and Emperor Says “Pacifist Constitution Made the Foundation of the Current Japan.” – Person within the Circle of True Elite –


*Emperor and Crown Prince Unsatisfied with Amendment of Constitution by Prime Minister Abe?

Japan’s Crown Prince Naruhito has stressed the importance of abiding by the Constitution, in contrast with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who has been pushing for amendment of the pacifist Constitution.

On 23rd Crown Prince Naruhito held a press conference before his 54th birthday. He said, “Japan has been enjoying peace and prosperity since the end of the war thanks to the Constitution as the cornerstone. We have to abide by the Constitution.” At a press conference on December last year, Emperor Ahihito also highly evaluated the pacifist Constitution, by saying that “After the war, Japan was occupied by the allied forces, but we upheld the values of peace and democracy, undertook various reforms and built the foundation of Japan that we know today.”

The emperor and the crown prince stressed the importance of abiding by the Constitution one after the other. We can interpret it as the meaning that they indicated their dissatisfaction toward the movement of Abe administration to amend the Constitution. Prime Minister Abe has pushed for the revision of Article 9 of the Constitution, which stipulates the prohibition of war and having armed forces, by saying, “The current Constitution was forced to be established under American military occupation.” The ruling party LDP has a policy to provide meetings to explain to the public about constitutional amendment across the country this year. The current Constitution stipulates the emperor as the symbol of the nation, while the draft of amended constitution by the LDP elevates the status of emperor to the “head of state.”

System of Heavenly World 10 – Dimensions of Star Deities

Information from Mr.Takeshita Masatoshi.
In the last post “System of Heavenly World 9” I let you know that there are 10-stage difference between humans and universes as shown below:
10. Super cluster deities
9. Galaxy cluster deities
8. Galaxy deities
7. Star cluster system deities
6. Star cluster deities
5. Star system cluster deities
4. Star system deities
3. Stellar deities
2. Heavenly deities
1. Earthly deities
There are following sentences on page 188 in *“Visitor to Earth from 2nd Planet” (Japanese version; translated by Hachiro Kubota, published by Chuou Art Shuppan) written by George Adamski.
“Each planet travels about the sun along with many other planets with perfect timing and all planets make up so-called Solar System as a unit. As far as we have learned through space travels, one Solar System has 12 planets in any case. Additionally, 12 Solar Systems bind together around the core, which is equivalent to the sun to form an “island universe” as it is called by scientists on earth. And these 12 island universes form a bigger unit in the residence of a “father” who has many mansions. In conclusion, the universe has no limits.”
(Translator’s Note) *Original title: “Inside the Space Ship” by George AdamskiThis paragraph is translated from the Japanese version into English anew.
As explained here, 12 stars centering around one star form a Star System (our Solar System is an example), 12 Star Systems centering around one star system (for example, Sirius Star System) form a Star System Cluster, and 12 Star System Clusters centering around one star system cluster form a Star Cluster in the same way. This pattern goes on and on until a Super Cluster is formed. Finally, 12 Super Clusters centering around one last Super cluster form the universe.
Each of two stages in the above 10 stages forms a pair: Earthly deities / Heavenly deities, Stellar deities / Star system deities, Star system cluster deities /Star cluster deities, Star cluster system deities / Galaxy deities, and Galaxy cluster deities / Super cluster deities. The dimensions where such paired deities exist are an extension of relations between System and dimension where Earthly deities and Heavenly deities exist as I have explained so far. Such relations between System and dimension are figured as follows:

What Yamazaki Bread Company Got and What TV Stations Lost due to Historic Heavy Snow – Collapse of Old Concept of Values –

I don’t think that a light motor vehicle Jimny can tug a truck with a loading capacity of 10 tons. Probably the Jimny is tugging the truck with normal tires which skids on the snow. The footage has a powerful impact on viewers. If a driver of the light motor vehicle and a person who shot a video are identified, both of them will be presented with money and a letter of appreciation by Suzuki.
The second article well describes an incident of historic heavy snow. Seeing how NHK and commercial TV stations reported this incident, I thought the current Japan has gone stark mad. On the other hand, there was something wonderful that has awakened people; this kind of video and the performance of Mao Asada, which is totally different from fierce competitions to win medals. Apparently, the old concept of values is being destroyed.

What Yamazaki Bread Company Got and What TV Stations Lost due to Historic Heavy Snow



Have TV stations greatly reduced their significance of existence?

Heavy snow hit the Kanto area at the start of February.

On February 14, a historic heavy snow hit the Kanto area. Emergency news program on it had not been produced, though it was such a serious incident fatal to humans. What was even worse is that information on afflicted areas including Yamanashi Prefecture had not been reported soon in ordinary news. What made such situation is, as you know, connected with the Sochi Olympic Games

*Olympic Games Cant’ be Ignored

The Olympic Games is held every four years. It is a big market in which a total of tens of billions of yen of support money is financed by only dozens of supporting companies. Additionally, supporting sponsors in the Olympic Games not only support the Games but also engage in the entire advertising related to the Games, which include producing TV commercials, broadcasting games, and carrying on campaigns. Computing the total amount of money, it runs as high as tens of billions of yen.

The Olympic Games is a quadrennial big event for TV stations as well as for sponsors and advertising companies.

However, is it the event that has to be prioritized under a critical situation where heavy snow might control the life and death of people? The answer is definitely “NO.”

*TV Stations Lose Role of News Media

Information on heavy snow, which is not reported on TV, has been available mainly through social media. On Twitter, many people worrying about their safety let out their voice. People have become aware of the fact that now isn’t the time to enjoy watching the Olympic Games because there are areas so heavily affected by heavy snow.




One of what TV stations have lost is the position as news media. They have no information and transmit information so slowly. TV stations gave up the role as news media, which is desperately needed in such an emergency.

*TV Stations Lose Value as Publicity Agent

TV stations have lost not only the role as news media but the value as publicity agent. It was a company which splendidly responded to heavy snow that has increased its business valuation.

Let’s take a driver for example. A truck driver from the Yamazaki bread company, who was also stuck in heavy snow in Kofu, handed out bread from his truck to many helpless people around him and at a highway service station. The driver has been praised since information on his response was shared by around 19,000 twitters during 24 hours after his response. Subsequently, this case was introduced by the media such as the Yomiuri Shimbun, which learned about it on Twitter.

As engaged in PR field, I convert news into advertising cost. Usually, this kind of news is reported by major Internet media and newspapers and introduced as an information program by TV stations. In many cases, it amounts to some 500 million – 1 billion yen as advertising cost. However, since this case was not introduced as news so often by TV stations, it will amount to approximately 200 million yen in terms of advertising cost alone.

On top of that, the share price of Yamazaki, which stood at around 1,110 yen on February 14, rose to around 1,170 yen afterward, which is a rise of 13 billion yen in terms of money.

I’d like to introduce another case, that it, Suzuki Jimny.

A video of Suzuki Jimny tugging a stuck truck was uploaded on YouTube more than once. The footage showing a small car pulling a big truck has been replayed more than 1 million times in total. As a result, it produced a far more advertising effectiveness than ordinary advertisement or promotion.

TV has significantly reduced its value as news media over the past two weeks from February 8. Furthermore, it has significantly reduced its value as publicity agent.

As extensive damages due to heavy snowfall have been revealed, more people get to doubt if what is broadcast on TV is sufficient and credible.

It is not, of course, that TV ratings will suddenly decline. Undoubtedly, however, silent Japanese have gradually felt disappointed at TV stations.

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: “Unknown Truth” by Kazuhide Uekusa – February 22, 2014 –

Unfair NHK Never Broadcasts Nininbaori performed by Mr. Katsuto Momii

On February 20, the NHK issue came up for intensive deliberation in a meeting of the Lower House Budget Committee.

Mr. Katsuto Momii, who has assumed the post of the president of NHK, was called into the meeting as a witness and harshly grilled over how NHK broadcasting should be.


Even if asked questions in the Diet, he was not able to answer them in words of his own.

An NHK staff member behind him listened to a question, handed over a manuscript for answer to Mr. Momii and whispered the words written in the manuscript from behind just like a *’sasayaki okami,’ while Mr. Momii answered as told.

(Translator’s note) *sasayaki okami – When a false food labeling by “Senba Kicchau”, a time-honored Japanese restaurant, came to the surface, the executive managing director gave a press interview for apology. When he was at a loss for words, his mother, chairman, told him how to answer questions from behind like a ventriloquist. She has been called “whispering okami.” Okami means a landlady of a restaurant.

Just the sight of him makes every recipient think they don’t want such a man to take the leadership of NHK.

This is called a “scandal.”

The NHK issue is focused on the suspicion that the broadcaster violates the principle of political neutrality, political impartiality, fair and equitable broadcasting.

Ironically enough, the broadcasting parliamentary proceedings by NHK itself violated the fair and equitable broadcasting.

The camerawork plays an important role in TV broadcasting.

When a witness called to testify is grilled and showered core questions on, the witness is usually zoomed in by a camera and his/her closeup image is seen on the screen.

Camera technique of filming a speaker from below is used to create a bad impression on viewers.

A scene where a material was handed over to President Momii from behind and a scene where President Momii looked back at an NHK employee accompanied by him and carefully listened to him whispering were completely trimmed.

This is an act against the fair and equitable broadcasting.

In ordinary summoning of a witness, a camera is pointed at the witness.

NHK camerawork is done with through attention that “Nininbaori” performed by Mr. Katsuto Momii cannot be filmed as much as possible.

President Momii repeated the word “fair and equitable broadcasting” and NHK broadcast the image, which showed the not “fair and equitable” action.

<Message to Earthlings>

“Hello, everybody on Earth!
It appears that natural disaster has done enormous harm to many people in various places of Japan.
I heartily sympathize with the predicament of the victims.

Various problems might trouble you until a new order is established
Please don’t lose hope!

Since every consideration is being taken, act calm without giving in to despair.

Please endure this situation as a phenomenon seen just before the destruction of evil.
It is the pain that will accompany the birth of beautiful Earth.

Earth has already started shining beautifully.
It is a temporary confusion created when those found to be unfit to the beautiful Earth are eradicated.

Please believe in deities and surrender yourself to them.

Please never fail to prepare for the worst and try to maintain inner peace and joy as much as you can.
We all will support you affectionately from the universe.

<About celestial school>

I am still learning various things as a student of the celestial school.
My favorite subjects are:
*social dancing, classical ballet, horse riding, astronomy, physics
*mathematics, pictorial composition, justice study

The school is blessed with the wonderful environment.
Buildings, which are allocated to each subject, are dotted in vast woods.

Buildings are made with due consideration of the best possible use of harmony with nature.
Each building, very distinctive-looking, provides us peace and joy.

The school is a place where we learn and feel joy.

Teachers, who are full of love, are experts who can induce each student to discover the joy of learning.

For this reason, there is no refusal to attend school or bullying.

I am learning mathematics, physics, astronomy and ballet from Daishoushinmakotonaru-kami-sama.

Each lesson is taught in an exquisitely sophisticated manner and almost no student drops out. I am sure that this is because he uses familiar examples in an amusing way to make us understand something difficult.

I advise many people to devote themselves to be enrolled in school.

I have a lot of happy memories. I’d like to introduce them another time.

Please send my best regards to Mr. Takeshita living on the earth.

<Additional notes>

Mr. Takeshita pointed out that this illustration did not resemble himemiko-sama because the eyes and nose gave him a feeling of strangeness. I suggested her to redraw the illustration or partially modify it if she wanted to.
In response to my suggestion, she answered it was not necessary to redraw or modify it.

“The eyes look alike.
The nose appears to be slightly different.
I think other parts closely resemble mine.

Never be discouraged.
It is great joy to have you draw an illustration
I am very pleased with this illustration.”

She cheered me up in this way.
I asked her why she wore the *junihitoe and she answered as follows:

“I was reincarnated in the Heian period in Japan.
I chose it as a traditional formalwear.”

 It is true that this video image seems to be quite Japanese, but why do we feel it so beautiful? I suppose that if we look at this sort of thing from childhood, couples who want Shinto-style wedding will grow in numbers. An image of wedding ceremony combined with wedding dress has been strongly planted since childhood. I think Japanese have to appreciate how marvelous our culture is.

The video footage of Japanese traditional culture has enchanted the people across the world.

Oami area, Otari Village, Nagano Prefecture, is a marginal village where 70 percent of people are over 65 years old. A young couple has decided to live there. The beginning of their new life has been filmed. This is a good old-style wedding ceremony in Japan; Friends of the couple decorate for the ceremony, local women cook dishes and men beat a Himekawa drum. The couple walked together through the village.
(Citation from YouTube)

[Japanese Net users’ voices]

“This caused eyes to water.”
“I was really moved by heart-warming ceremony. Everybody, when young, yearned for Western style wedding ceremony. With increasing simplification, human connection has been weakened nowadays. I thought we, including me, should review Japanese tradition.”
“I have never thought that just seeing people genuinely celebrate a wedding of a young couple.”
“A look of female neighbors, the decoration of folded paper, the atmosphere of the entire village made me heartwarming. How wonderful! Have a happy life together!”
“I was overwhelmed by the look of a grandfather looking at his granddaughter clad in wedding attire. Everything was beautiful. I’d like to give applause to the couple.”
“I can’t find any difficult word, but how beautiful white is!”
“Japan … just one word.”
