Mina-san, are you thinking what I’m thinking?

The illustrations for this series were made by my friend maniko-san.
If you like them, try to leave her a message in Japanese!
(if she gets a lot of feedback, maybe we can get her to illustrate other stories!)
If you live in japan, check her band’s mobile site and go see her play live!

I like this talk-show format. You can present topical subjects in a more interesting way than a newscast, with more room for the usual wackiness. This topic didn’t seem particularly interesting, but it turned out to be a good series because of the way it was presented
It offered a bit of cultural insight as well, so hopefully there’s a return to the (TV) studio at some point

絵大好きです!

もし 法律(ほうりつ) を まもらなかたら、警察 に つかまるよ!
If you break the law, the police will arrest you.
They should … Not in the case of a parent doing her or his duty.
Doesn’t the government need to support families?
The best answer is for the Japanese government to entice daycares with tax benefits to provide free busing.
Free busing would cut down on the number of people rushing on the morning streets!

なぜお母さん達が国の法律を反対するのがやむをえない選択と言ってるのに、保育園のルールを破るのが出来ないの?

I have a big request. I noticed that 220 kanji’s may be added to the official jouyou kanji list. After spending 750 hours to learn the 1945 jouyou kanji’s over 6 months I am not very pleased. Is 1945 not enough?Anyway, my request: Is it possible to create a PDF list with the on and kun readings for the additional 220 kanji’s. I would like to learn these sooner rather than later. There are no kanji cards available after 1945, and I don’t have any material with these reading. All my kanji dictionary’s also only go up to 1945.MANY MANY thanks,Pieter.

Usui-san’s comment about living closer to the station is obviously バカを言うにもほどがある (is that right usage?), but I disagree with Kana-san that if you can afford it is best. It is the hoikuen we’re biking to, and they are generally not at the stations!!
By the way, I often bike around with two children, though as they get bigger I have to get off and push for more and more hills. I’ve even seen mothers with three: one on the front, one on the back and a baby strapped to her back. 尊敬しちゃう!

Darren-san,
This usage of バカを言うにもほどがある is right!!
気をつけてくださいね!
A bike would be unstable when you get off and push it with children on it.

i think this is a very realistic problem the society is facing… to much contrains without proper ways to solve the problems for the family unit… if this goes on, no wonder the number of births would decrease… thanks for the gripping content and the controversial debate! it’s very thought provoking!

Chin-san
It seems like they’ve just made it legal to ride bike with 2 children on July 1st 2009.
