If you are planning to return to Japan, it would be better to do it then. The price will be much cheaper.

Vitamin c or TAZAROTENE retinol for spots has been effective in my opinion ！.

I did the ZO skin therapeutic course to remove spots.
You purchase the products from the medical spa in Lake Forest below and use the products after washing your face in the morning and at night for about 3 months, I think. Personally, I thought it was fine even if I didn't use ZO Skin's face wash. The 1cm sized spots on my cheeks are gone, and the spots on my temples have rebounded and appeared, but I am happy with the results because they are invisible with regular foundation instead of concealer.

If you are in the baby clothes section of Macy's, you can always find baby clothes at 40% to 60% off.
Unlike Japanese baby clothes, some baby clothes cover all arms and legs and are made to prevent scratching to the face by fingernails, which I think is very useful. In Japan, it is common to put on mittens or socks, so I think similar products are almost impossible to find. If you buy the 6month ones, I think they will last for a while. Also, it is a good idea to look at toys at Target and other places.
You won't get to use them until a little later ….

You can get an answer by typing in Google AI mode "Is it possible to change my name to John or Mary in American style when I become a US citizen ？?".
Only the first sentence will be listed. "Yes, it is possible to legally ・ officially change your name to an American-style name such as "John" or "Mary" when you obtain US citizenship （ citizenship ）."

I can't do John or Mary. You have to write it alphabetically.

John is possible, but it is a man's name.

In Korean, you can write Jeon, Jeong, or Jong as a woman's name.

Also, you can change your name in court as much as you want without taking your nationality.

You can change your name to whatever you want at the Oath Ceremony when you get your citizenship.
I didn't know that, so I didn't think about it beforehand. ？ ？ When I was wondering what to do, I saw a sign that said "Juicy Burger" standing where they were selling hamburgers. I thought for a moment about changing my last name to "Juicyburger" as a joke, but in the end I didn't. It's easy to change it on the spot, but if you want to change it later, you have to apply for it at the court and get it approved, which is a hassle.

> If you are attacked with a pistol, you can't even escape with a local employee attending to you.

How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Oyaji-san? ？ If a Japanese person is suddenly attacked with a pistol as in the LA scandal, it would be news in Japan, but such incidents only happen about once every 10 years. Most of them are caused by problematic behavior on the part of the victim, such as foreign students walking around in the middle of the night. In fact, the crime rate in LA is going down every year.

＞ How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Father ？

Fortunately I have not had that experience, but three people I know have.
One was attacked as he was getting out of his car in a parking lot, but he escaped by giving the attacker money as he demanded. Another was shot from another car while driving. This was probably more of a prank than a robbery, but dangerous enough. Another was shot and killed as he was getting into his car with the proceeds from a store closing. He probably resisted.

There were more Japanese people running Ricker stores then than there are now, and a good number of them had a good deal of experience being held at pistolpoint in the course of their work. It was probably around this time that two Japanese students were shot in the Ralphs parking lot in San Pedro.

It would only be an incident, and only a few of them, that would make the news. There are probably quite a few that were attempted or did not turn into incidents. By the way, the above two people did not report
to the police.

There are incidents in LA even if they are not on Japanese news. Rather than judging that there are few crimes
against Japanese people, it is necessary to be prepared for incidents that occur only once every 10 years or so

＞ Actually, LA's crime rate is going down every year

That's a good thing.
But "rate" is a crook. It's used in a convenient way.

If there is 1 criminal in every 100 people, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%.
The crime rate when it was policed meticulously and the crime rate in recent times when minor crimes are overlooked.
Crime rate during a period of high violent crime and a period of increased fraud and other crimes.

Claim by immigrants that the number of foreigners living in Japan has increased but the crime rate has not.
They do not mention that the number of crimes has increased.

True. If you don't report it to the police, it is not recorded as a crime.

Does the crime-free Showa father hire a dedicated bodyguard? What is the cost? It seems that what is needed is a service more for local Japanese than for Japanese entertainers.

Thank you for your sympathy and for your replies.

It is really inconvenient and I hope the consulate will update the information. I think that if the IC chip and the name notation in the passport are not the same to begin with, it will not be an official ID. ？ I wonder if the Japanese government did not think of the inconsistency in that area .

I have tried various versions of the name for online purchases as follows.
Hanako Yamada Smith
Hanako YamadaSmith
Hanako Smith

What confused the airport staff in both Japan and the US the least was the >>> on the bottom of the passport. >>>'s name, which was Hanako Yamada.

Has anyone tried removing the alias and had no problem ？ If not, what was the problem ？
Was it easy to change it back ？?

Consulate may be right, but I think you're out of your mind when you put (括弧). It's not normal and weird that it's on even though it confuses people in Japan and in the U.S. ？ (括弧) is not part of a normal name. It's an afterthought.

I am also an international marriage. It's a hassle every time … If you change your name when you get married in the US, it will not match the name on your Japanese transcript. So no matter how you change your name on your passport, you need to check your green card and passport at the counter when you check in for your flight. \If you remove the "Smith" from your passport, you may be required to submit a marriage certificate. In conclusion, I think it is best to leave it as it is.

Where do you submit it to Marriage cert. ？ at airport ？

To be frank, if it's so complicated, why don't you just change your name back to Hanako Yamada on your passport and carry Marriage Cert. with you ？

? Is this only for married Japanese people? ？ Is it OK for Korean or Chinese passports? ？ It's so complicated that I'm thinking of changing my name back to my maiden name in the US. But I'm getting annoyed because I've been thinking too much about it ？ and wondering if it doesn't make sense since the child's name will be different in the US and Japan after all lol

If you are giving birth in the US, it would be US only benefits.
If you are giving birth in Japan, it would be Japan only benefits.

You can't say you gave birth in Japan when you give birth in the US.
You will be asked to show proof of the hospital where you gave birth.

Only a hospital employee who can cheat would be able to do this.

Were you on health insurance when you became pregnant?
If you gave birth within 6 months of leaving the insurance, you will receive a lump sum. I applied for the lump sum as of 2022, but my friend claimed it from there without going back to Japan temporarily through a relative who was in Japan. For some reason, my friend was refused at first and gave up, but when she applied again around the time of my child's birth, she was approved. By the way, my friend and her husband are not Japanese citizens, but they worked in Japan and moved to another country before the birth of their child.
I believe that you can apply for insurance up to 2 years after the birth of your child. If they had not been insured for more than a year before the birth, I think it would be difficult.

If it's a simple tax return, I think one way is to do it yourself with Turbo tax ！ payment is last, （ if you don't agree, you don't have to Submit ） and it's easy to answer the questions. You can even throw your questions to chat gpt now and then and get them in Japanese. Good luck ！

Especially if you don't have a second job or income across the country or state, you can download Turbotax and do it yourself. It takes about an hour if you have all the necessary documents ＆ numbers, and the results are easy to get within a few hours of submitting.

Thank you for your quick comments.
I've been throwing it all to my accountant for a long time and wasn't confident, but
after reading the comments from both of you, I feel like I should try it myself ！.

The income is from one place and probably not too difficult for me, so
I will consult ChatGPT or Gemini and give it a try ！ ！ ！
