Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
米国務省が「東海(トンヘ)」の併記を退けたことに対し、韓国メディアは「政府の外交努力の欠如を示した」として一斉に反発、韓国政府は複雑な反応を見せている。
韓国は、独立後の１９５７年、国際水路局（現・国際水路機関＝ＩＨＯ）に加盟したが、「東海」の英文表記を国際的に主張し始めたのは、９２年以降だ。韓国内で朝鮮半島の東側を「東海」と呼び習わしてきたことを根拠に「公海を一つの国の名称とするのは不合理で、日本海と東海を併記すべきだ」と主張してきた。
韓国内では、「日本海の呼称が世界で一般化したのは、日本の植民地支配を受けた２０世紀前半だ」との認識がある。日韓両国が領有権を主張する竹島（島根県）問題と同様に、韓国側は歴史問題と捉えている。
(試譯文)
South Korea media were unanimously repulsive as "The government had shown a lack of diplomatic effort" regarding US State Department's repelling the use of parallel description of "Tokai (Donghae)"; the South Korea government was showing a mixed reaction.
South Korea after obtaining independence in 1957 joined the International Hydrographic Bureau (at present the International Hydrographic Organization = IHO); since 1992 it began to insist that the English marking of "Tokai" be used internationally. It insisted that in South Korea on grounds that it was on the east side of the Korean peninsula "Tokai" was called as a custom, and "it is irrational to assume the high seas with a name of a country, and should describe the Sea of Japan with Tokai in parallel".
In South Korea, there was an understanding that "It was in the first half of the 20th century that the name of the Sea of Japan was popular in the world, when they were under the colonial rule of Japan". South Korea linked it to the history question, same as the Takeshima (Shimane Prefecture) problem that both Japan and South Korea were insisting on the sovereignty right.
I hope the argument in using the name " East Sea" or "Sea of Japan" would not hurt the relationship of these two countries.

美國駐日大使首次出席二個原爆和平紀念儀式
Recently the NHK News reported the following:
今月９日に行われる長崎市の平和祈念式典に、アメリカ政府を代表してズムワルト駐日首席公使が出席することが分かりました。ズムワルト駐日首席公使は、６日、広島市の式典にも、出席することになっていますが、長崎市の式典に出席するのは初めてです。
関係者によりますと、アメリカのズムワルト駐日首席公使は臨時代理大使として、今月９日に長崎市で行われる平和祈念式典に出席し、犠牲者を追悼するということです。アメリカ政府側から５日、式典の関係者に連絡があったということで、原爆を投下したアメリカ政府の代表が長崎市の式典に出席するのは初めてです。去年はルース駐日大使が広島市の平和記念式典に初めて出席しましたが、長崎市の式典にはスケジュールの都合がつかなかったとして出席せず、後日長崎市を訪れ、原爆落下中心地に献花して犠牲者を悼みました。ズムワルト駐日首席公使は、６日、広島市で行われる平和記念式典にも出席することになっており、アメリカ政府の代表が初めて広島と長崎の両方の式典に出席することになりました。長崎市の黒川智夫原爆被爆対策部長は「出席するのであれば長崎の被害の実情をしっかり見てもらいたい」と話しています。

It had been understood that America's chief minister to Japan J.P. Zumwait would attend the peace memorial ceremony at Nagasaki City on the ninth this month on behalf of the US. Although chief minister Zumwait had attended the ceremony at Hiroshima City on the 6th, supposedly it would be the first time to attend the ceremony at Nagasaki City.
According to people related to the matter, America's chief minister to Japan Zumwait, as Charge d'Affaires ad interim, would attend the peace memorial ceremony held in Nagasaki City on the ninth this month to mourn the victims. Parties connected to the ceremony had the report from the American government on the fifth that a representative of the US, the country that had dropped the atomic bomb would attend the ceremony of Nagasaki City for the first time.
Last year although Ruth the Ambassador to Japan attended the Peace Memorial Ceremony at Hiroshima City for the first time, he did not attend the ceremony in Nagasaki City because it was not able to arrange the schedule; he later visited Nagasaki, and offered flowers at the atomic bomb dropping location to mourn the dead. As Zumwait the chief minister to Japan had attended the Peace Memorial Ceremony held in Hiroshima City on the sixth, it would be the first time for a representative of the US to attend both the Hiroshima and the Nagasaki ceremonies. Kurokawa Tomoo the atomic bomb radiation exposure measures director in Nagasaki City said "want him to see fully the actual damage of Nagasaki if he attends".
It is interesting to note that there is some small attitude changes in the American regarding this WWII matter.

三菱重工接到造十二萬五千噸級郵輪定單
Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
三菱重工業は３日,世界最大のクルーズ客船会社「カーニバル・コーポレーション＆ｐｌｃ」から、１２万５０００総トンの世界最大級の大型客船（３２５０人乗り）２隻の受注を内定したと発表した
同社の大型客船受注は１２年ぶりで、同社が建造する客船としては過去最大となる。納期は２０１５年３月と１６年３月の予定。受注額は非公表。
カーニバル社傘下のアイーダ・クルーズ向けに、長崎造船所（長崎市）で建造する。三菱重工が最後に大型客船の受注を内定したのは、１９９９年６月。カーニバル社から、１１万６０００総トンの大型客船２隻を受注したが、２００２年に建造中の「ダイヤモンド・プリンセス」が火災を起こして以来、注文が途絶えていた。
(試譯文)
On the 3rd Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announced that an order was received informally from the world's largest cruise company the "Carnival Corporation & Plc." for two liners with the tonnage that belonged to the world's largest class of 125,000 gross tons (accommodating 3250 people). Among the boats built, it became the biggest passenger boats this company would built after an interval of 12 years. Delivery date was scheduled to be between March 2015 and March 2016. The order amount was not made public.
Nagasaki shipyard (Nagasaki City) had been building for the Aida Cruise, a subsidiary of Carnival Company. The last time for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to receive informal order for the liner was in June 1999. Although it had received an order for two large passenger boats of 116,000 gross tons class from the Carnival Company, after a fire had occurred in the "Diamond Princess" built in 2002, orders came to a stop.
Obviously, the ship building industry morale in Japan would be boosted by the order.

日本製紙業減產
Recently the Asahi News reported the following:
日本製紙グループ本社は３日、コピー用紙やチラシ・雑誌などの印刷用紙をつくる「洋紙部門」の従業員の１５％に当たる１３００人を削減するリストラ計画を発表した。生産能力も１５％落とす。「紙離れ」の需要減に、東日本大震災での主力工場の被災が追い打ちとなった。
来春から希望退職を募るなどし、従業員８８００人の中から正社員８５０人、非正社員４５０人を減らす。そのうち１００人は本社の管理部門を対象とする計画だ。
生産設備は国内の主要２０工場のうち石巻（宮城県石巻市）、岩沼（同岩沼市）、富士、吉永（いずれも静岡県富士市）、岩国（山口県岩国市）の５工場で一部を停止。２０１２年９月までに生産能力の１５％にあたる８０万トン分を止める。
(試翻譯)
Nippon Paper Group, Inc. on the third announced the restructuring plan to reduce 1300 people which was 15% of the employee in the "Western-style paper section" which made copy paper and printing paper used for the handbill and the magazine, etc. Production capacity was dropped by 15%. Because "Away from Paper " demand had decreased, it became that a major industry was struck by the East Japan great earthquake.
Voluntary retirement would be raised from next spring to reduce 850 regular members and 450 contingent workers among the 8800 employees. In it, the plan targeted at 100 people in the department of management in the headquarters. Regarding the production facilities, of the 20 main factories in the country, part of the production facility at five factories would be stopped (Ishinomaki (Miyagi Prefecture Ishinomaki City), Iwanuma (same prefecture Iwanunacho), Fuji, Yoshinaga (both Shizuoka Prefecture Fuji City), and Iwakuni (Yamaguchi Prefecture Iwakuni City)). By September 2012, 15% of the capacity that was 800,000 tons of the production would be stopped.
So the employee in the paper industry is having a hard time.

新潟縣出産米可能被混合其他米出售
Recently the NHK News reported the following:
全国の小売店で「１００％新潟県産コシヒカリ」と表示して販売されているコメのうち、表示どおりだったコメは全体の３分の２にとどまり、そのほかのコメには別の品種や産地が特定されないコメが混ざっていたことが新潟県の調査で分かりました。
新潟県は「１００％新潟県産コシヒカリ」と表示して販売されているコメを対象に、首都圏や関西、九州など全国の小売店２００店舗で１袋ずつ、合わせて２００袋からサンプルを取ってＤＮＡ鑑定を行いました。その結果、新潟県によりますと、表示どおりに１００％新潟県産のコシヒカリと確認できたのは２００袋のうち１３１袋で全体の６５％にとどまり、そのほかの袋には別の品種のコメや産地が特定されないコシヒカリが混ざっていたことが分かりました。新潟県産のコシヒカリを巡っては、先月、東京の業者が「新潟県産コシヒカリ」などと書いた袋に別の品種のコメなどを入れて販売したとして逮捕されています。新潟県は今回の調査結果から、ほかのコメが意図的に混入された疑いがあるとみて、刑事告発も視野に業者間の取り引きなどを調査することにしています。
(試譯文)
In an investigation done by Niigata Prefecture on the rice that displayed "100% Niigata Prefecture Koshihikari" that was sold in retail stores in the whole country, it had been found that the rice that was true to the display stayed at 2/3 of whole amount, other types of rice with unknown production location were being mixed into it.
Niigata Prefecture in total took 200 bags as sample, one each from the 200 stores in the whole country such as in the metropolitan area, in Kansai, and in Kyushu retail stores that sold the rice displaying "100% Niigata Prefecture Koshihikari", and did the DNA test. The result, according to Niigata Prefecture was that it was able to confirm that among those 200 bags having a display of '100% Koshihikari of Niigata Prefecture', 131 bags had 65% in the whole bag. In other bags, it was understood that they were mixed with other types of rice with production location could not be specified. In the investigation held last month on Niigata Prefecture Koshihikari, the bags written "Niigata Prefecture Koshihikari" etc.were put into with other rice etc and sold; a trader in Tokyo was arrested. Niigata Prefecture, based on this round of investigation, was suspecting that there might be other cases of intentionally mixing of rice, and would investigate the dealings between traders etc. with a view for criminal indictments.
It is disappointing to note that some rice traders in Japan are cheating their customers.

宮城県石巻市有悼念海嘯死難者活動
Recently the NHK News reported the following:
宮城県石巻市で、伝統の夏祭り「石巻川開き祭り」が開かれ、ことしは東日本大震災の犠牲者を追悼するため１万個の灯籠が川に流されました。
「石巻川開き祭り」は、地元を流れる北上川の恵みに感謝する伝統の夏祭りで、ことしは規模を縮小したうえで、震災の犠牲者への供養と復興への願いを込めて開かれました。石巻市の中心部を流れ、津波がさかのぼって周辺の地区に大きな被害を出した旧北上川の近くで、供養祭が開かれ、多くの人が訪れて震災で犠牲になった人に祈りをささげていました。また、亡くなった家族などの名前を書いた１万個の灯籠が川に流され、柔らかな明かりが薄暗い中に浮かび上がりました。石巻市では、震災で亡くなった人が２９日の時点で、３１４９人に上り、今もおよそ９００人の行方が分かっていません。灯籠を見つめていた３０代の女性は「子どもたちの面倒をよく見てくれた母が津波で亡くなり、灯籠に名前を書きました。子どもたちの成長を見守っていてほしいです」と話していました。石巻川開き祭りは８月１日も開かれ、花火が打ち上げられることになっています。

The traditional Summer Festival, the "Ishinomaki River opening festival" was opened in Miyagi Prefecture Ishinomaki City to mourn the victims of the East Japan great earthquake this year; 10,000 floating lanterns were put into the river.
"Ishinomaki River opening festival" as the traditional summer festival that expressed gratitude to the blessing of Kitakami River that flowed through locally had its scale reduced this year; it was opened to making prayers to the earthquake victims and making wishes for the revival. The festival service was held near old Kitakami River that flowed through the central part of Ishinomaki City; during the tsunami water flowed back and had left much destruction behind at the surrounding districts. A lot of people had visited, prayers were offered to the people who were sacrificed due to the earthquake. Moreover, 10,000 floating lanterns that had written with the name of the died family member etc. were thrown into the river, and it floated with soft light amidst the dim surrounding. The number of people who had died in the earthquake went up to 3149 on the 29th, and at this moment in Ishinomaki City the whereabouts of some 900 people were not known. A woman in her thirties who was staring at the lantern said ｢A mother who often saw children's troubles had died in the tsunami, and the name is written in the lantern. The wish is for her to watch over children's growing up｣. The "Ishinomaki River opening festival" was supposed to be held on August 1, and fireworks would be launched.
It is a sad story to hear that in this area over 3,000 people had died and 900 people were missing.

有中國傳媒技巧地繼續報道高鐵事件
Recently the Yomiuri News reported the following:
中国の有力経済紙「２１世紀経済報道」は１日、乗客１０６人が死亡した２００５年４月のＪＲ福知山線脱線事故を１ページを使って紹介し、日本の事故処理を評価した。
浙江省温州の高速鉄道事故に対する報道規制が強化される中、不公正な中国の事故処理を暗に批判したものだ。
記事は、福知山線事故の業務上過失致死傷事件が審理中であることに触れ、「原因調査や民意聴取、責任追及は精密に、細心に行われる」とする学者の見解を紹介。事故調査は独立した委員会が監督者の立場で行い、報告書は３００ページにも及んだとしている。
これに対し、中国の鉄道省は監督官庁と現業部門を併せ持ち、同省に所属する警察、検察、裁判所が事件処理を担当。温州の事故では、同省が政府の調査グループに加わり、証拠隠滅疑惑に世論の批判が集まっている。また、記事は「被害者の遺族は公開の法廷で陳述し、半数以上がまだ賠償交渉を続けている」とし、賠償で署名を強要する中国との違いを強調している。
(試譯文)
The "Economic Report of the 21st Century", as a powerful economic newspaper in China, on the first used the first page to introduce the JR Fukuchiyama line derailment accident in which 106 passengers had died in April, 2005, and to evaluate the processing of this accident in Japan.
In face of the strengthened restriction imposed on the press in reporting the Wenzhou high-speed railway accident of Chechinag province, the paper tacitly criticized the unfair processing in China over the accident.
The article touched on the trial over the professional negligence that had resulted in death and wound in the Fukuchiyama line accident, and introduced the opinion that the scholars had "precisely and carefully done the investigation on the cause, listened to the public opinion, and pursued the responsibility". Regarding the accident investigation, an independent committee was set up to discharge the supervising role; and the report had extended to as much as 300 pages.
In contrast, in China the railway ministry controlled the supervisory authority and the industrial civil service section; the police, the prosecution, and the court that all belonged to this ministry took charge in processing the event. In this accident in Wenzhou, the ministry joined the investigation group of the government; and public criticism had gathered and suspected the destruction of evidence. Moreover, the article showed that "the victim's bereaved family had made their statements at the court that was open to the public, and that more than half are still continuing with the compensation negotiation", and emphasized the difference in China that requested the signature on compensation by coercion.
It is nice to note that the newspaper is discharging its moral duties despite the pressure from the authority.
