I like sports. I like athletes too.

This year, I didn't watch the Olympics or any of Japan's matches in the World Cup at all. My own mood didn't align with it.

Over the past two years or so. Through current events like politics, the economy, money, COVID, elections, and state funerals for politicians, I've been thinking. The majority in this country lacks diverse perspectives, individual judgment, and respect for actions.

It's particularly unsettling when crowd movements become prominent, such as during sports events. I have friends living in this country who are fun, knowledgeable, and whom I appreciate. However, I feel discouraged by the majority's herd mentality, and I can't just sweep things under the rug.

People who picked up trash at the stadium. It's not wrong that they went and did it because they liked it, made a decision, and acted on it. Perhaps they are the ones who picked up the unpleasant things without sweeping them under the rug.

But you know, I think.

I respect everyone, matter what job they do.

However, I think this country, while being praised and encouraged by overseas as a virtue, might end up promoting the job of picking up trash left by others for free or cheap.

Japan has sushi, tradition, and hospitality (lol), isn't that amazing? It's good to be born Japanese, right? Just kidding, I hear that a lot. But, none of that was created by you, right? Let's finally realize that.   
  
(Samurai, Japan, Blue? There are samurai anymore. lol. Isn't it like the 80s American movie sushi, geisha, ninja? Shouldn't we update this kind of branding already?)   
  
Instead of that, we need to train ourselves and create something new from what wells up from our individual hearts. It's fun, you know, that's more enjoyable. That's where it starts.
