I am in my 30's and single. Do you think it is possible to retire early in Japan since I have saved more than 100 million yen so far?

I am not a Japanese citizen and would like to know how I can do it !.

After all, I have to deal with a lot of troubles in Japan, so I think Malaysia is a better choice for me, since I can get a 10-year retirement visa if I am over 35 years old. You can see why people emigrate from Japan.

The environment is so bad that many people go back. If you're not at the level where you can hire a few housekeepers and drivers, you're still better off in rural Japan.

Some people retire extremely poor, others save a million dollars in their 30s.
They may be strong, but they are still frustrated, so they assume they are looking good.

Disposal of cassette cylinders

We purchased a cassette stove and cylinder for use in times of disaster after the major power outage caused by the 2006 earthquake, but since then we have not had any disasters that would require a cassette stove, so we have not used them. However, since we have not had a disaster since then that required a cassette stove, we have not used it. Since many years have passed, we would like to dispose of the cassette stove and replace it with a new one, but is it acceptable to dispose of the old unused cassette stove in the garbage? If anyone knows where to dispose of them, please let us know.

Iwatani describes how to dispose of gas cylinders. It is very dangerous to dispose of them in the trash as is.

Dear Koji
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have read the URL you provided, but since I live in a condo and not in a house, there is no soil in the space I own. Would it be a violation to vent in a public place such as a beach or park ??

As for violations, I have no idea, but
if you're in a park or on the beach with no one around and no fire, I don't think it's a safety issue. If it were me, I would think that I might sneak out and vent on my lanai but good ventilation is a prerequisite. Then there is the relationship with the neighbors.
Or maybe I'll just lurk on the street in front of my apartment.

Also, there are some collection services, but I don't think it's necessary to go this far with household gas cylinders ~ ?.

I had been unable to view the site since last Wednesday, but last night I got a screen that said "The site will be under maintenance for 10 days, please press the OK button twice". I pressed the OK button twice, and I was able to watch the video again. But if I don't get the contact information, I won't be able to renew next time, but I wonder if they will contact me when it's time to renew again ?.

I will be sightseeing in Kyoto for a few hours in Japan
I know almost nothing about Kyoto
I heard from a friend that it is so crowded with foreigners that the city buses don't work
I don't have a specific place I want to go, but I would like to go to some famous places where I can say I have seen famous places with the same idea as a foreigner
I am from Kyoto and I would like to go to some places with a few places I can say I have seen. I'm from Kyoto and I'm wondering if anyone who knows Kyoto well can give me some advice on the recommended course and how to get there
I'm planning to go from 11am to 3pm and return by Shinkansen
Thank you very much!

I don't feel like I can say I have much time. Rather than going to see temples
, I would probably go to Nishiki Market to eat and walk around. Well, it's at tourist prices, but I think it's still a good idea because of the
benefit of the weak yen.

Hello
I am planning to travel to Italy and Spain in the summer.
I would like to convert some into Euros there, but where is the best place to do it?
Anyone who has converted USD to Euro, please let me know.
Recently, there seems to be an exchange place near the center court of Ala Moana Center.
Is it better to go to a bank or something?

I use an app called Firstwise to exchange money because the rates are pretty bad if you do it at a bank or exchange office. You can put money in dollars and change it to the currency of the country you are in and keep it in the app. I either withdraw it with my debit card or use it as a debit when I travel.

As for banks, SHWAB allows me to withdraw money from ATMs all over the world without any fees, so I have that too. I don't carry cash, but I don't carry the smallest amount of cash because touchless machines work everywhere in Europe.

About electronic pianos available at Costco in Japan

Question

  • 2024/02/17 00:58

I know this is a question for an American forum ? but how do you say "88 keys, weighted" electronic piano in Japan ? I would like to buy one from Costco in Japan if possible. I live in the U.S., but this is a gift for a family member in Japan as a celebration.

I understand 88 keys, but is "weighted" the piano touch in Japan? I would like to buy a piano that I can use for a while, so that I don't have to buy a new electronic piano when I start taking piano lessons.

Thank you very much.

Hello.
I am currently using a Roland FRP sold at Costco.
I also play classical piano, so I think I can help you.

First of all, there are many types of electronic pianos.
Weighted means that the keys are weighted like a real piano. This is for people who want to learn piano seriously like a classical piano.
However, the weighted keys may be tiring at first. That being said, the best thing about the weighted electronic piano is that with practice you can express delicate sounds.
So if you want to focus on "playing" the piano, I would recommend weighted.

I don't know much about piano touch, but I think it is the ability to change the volume of the sound depending on how hard you press the keys.

If you are just starting to make music, you don't really need the weighted feature. Instead, we recommend a "keyboard" that can produce sounds from a variety of sources and instruments.
It does not have the weight of an electronic piano, but it specializes in "inserting sounds into a music application," which is essential for music creation. It can produce not only piano sounds, but also drums, guitars, and almost any instrument sound you can think of, and you can put them into applications such as a computer to make music.
However, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have the "weight" of a real piano, so it is not suitable for practice.

Most electronic pianos fall into these two categories.

If you want to learn to play the piano, we recommend this electronic piano.
https://www.costco.com/roland-frp-2-acr-digital-piano-bundle.product.4000186636.html
I use it and it has a lot of accessories.

I recommend this keyboard for people who want to make music on a computer or other devices.
https://www.costco.com/casio-ct-x700-premium-portable-keyboard-bundle.product.100779619.html
It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources. It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources.

I know this is a long time ago, but I wonder if you have solved what the Lord wants to know. ?

"I want to give my child a real piano, but due to living restrictions such as a small house or not being able to play loudly enough for the neighborhood, I choose an electronic piano"
There are many families like this in Japan. Perhaps it is because most of the manufacturers of digital pianos are in Japan, and buying one in Japan gives you the most choices.
So, the value of any manufacturer's product is "how close it is to a real piano".

At the moment, only ROLAND and some CASIO products are available on the Japanese Costco web, but if you remove the Costco restriction,
YAMAHA, KAWAI, CASIO, ROLAND, KORG, etc. offer a variety of products.
Each of them explains their keyboard mechanism in detail on their web site, so please try to gather information.

There is no unified expression of "piano touch", but if you read carefully, you will find that\about 100,000 or more have weighted and volume control according to the force of keystroke.
Also, as the price goes up, the material and construction of the keyboard gets closer to a real piano, and the sound source and speakers get better.
By the way, my relative had a KAWAI.

Postscript
However, the better ( and more expensive ) the piano is, the bigger and heavier it is, even though it is a digital piano.
So, if you want to buy a piano as a present, it would be better to check the actual piano before you buy it.
