AmericasGotTalent(NBC) has several Japanese contestants this year,

one group from Japaneses called Travis Japan,

I think they are not from Japan and formed in the US. I think they were formed in the U.S., not in Japan, but I am not sure about that.

In the Audiition, the judges gave a passing score and we moved on. I have only seen Ryoeru Kawashima in this group on a quiz show called

Q-sama. I was surprised to see him

in Travis Japan at AGT this time, since he said in an interview a few years ago that he was going to study abroad
and stop his activities in Japan. I thought their dance was very wonderful.

If things continue to go well, the live show will reflect the audience's votes.

By the way, Kenichi Ebina won this AGT in the past.

What happened to Travis Japan after that?
Did they make it to the finals?

AAA is the most solid insurance company, but the premiums are higher than Geico and Progressive.
Since you have no driving history here, you cannot judge the risk, so all insurance companies charge higher rates from the beginning.
In addition, Japanese insurance agents are generally not recommended because of their high commissions.

Please see if you are interested.


Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

There is no obligation to file a "notification of loss of family register （ notification of loss of nationality ）" with the Japanese consulate, and unless you do so, your Japanese family register will remain, so you should be able to renew your Japanese passport "in Japan" and effectively keep your dual nationality. I was able to keep my dual citizenship.

Family of 3 (one college student) in condo, 2 bed 1100 sq ft, electric bill this month is $350
$268, also higher last month. Air conditioner set to 83F, dryer about once a week for 40 minutes hardly used.

Dishwashing every day. Two computers, one TV. Called electrician, but he said it might be the panel.
I looked on the internet to see how much it would cost and it was over $2000. The refrigerator was not working well
and the electrician told me that it might be because of the fan of the refrigerator
. It is difficult to unplug the power supply from the refrigerator because it is a plug-in refrigerator.
I also heard that the electricity bill is going to increase by 17% from now on, and it is very difficult to live. I think there is a problem or a malfunction, but do you know where I can get it checked out? Thank you in advance.

＃ As 2 Aloha said, it seems high for a 2 bed condo. how much has the usage ≪(KWH≪) fluctuated over the past year with Heco's electricity bill? I think you need to check that first and find out if there are times when your usage has spiked. Some electricians have clamp-style ammeters, so you should be able to tell which appliances are drawing abnormal current by turning the breakers of each appliance on and off and having them check the change in current. An electrician would know which appliances usually have how much. If they still can't find anything abnormal, there may be a problem with the way the electricity is used itself. On this neighborhood bulletin board, there has been a great deal of talk about the unusual increase in electricity bills this summer, and the rate structure itself seems to have gone up quite a bit. Even at home, this month's rates were 16% higher than last month's, and 12% higher than the month before and the month before last. Usually $ about 350, but this month it was 40% more.

It's not often that I get a chance to ask how much you all spend on electricity. Our house is also around $150.
2 people, 1100 Sq in a duplex, no A/C, 1 fan almost all day, at least 5 cycles of washer and dryer all day.

1Bd 2 people old property no AC, small fridge, whirlpool electric stove in kitchen to
2Bd new property
after moving in electric bill about $80 less per month.

New appliances
Washer, Dryer, AC, electric stove flat in kitchen. Large refrigerator.
All have Energy Saving stickers.

If you own your home,
replace it with newer appliances,
or move into a newer or newly built home, you will see the difference.

Thank you for writing. I told my landlord and he said the refrigerator is old and I can replace it.　If that doesn't work, by way of changing the electricity panel on the breaker. I would like to find the refrigerator that twin mentioned with energy saving on it because we can choose the refrigerator we want with our budget.

Unexpectedly large Korean criminal organization

I am a Fort Lee resident. I found out once before that a person from Korea used my address without my permission and later used my address without my permission to receive welfare benefits. I refrained from contacting the police or the welfare office because it is not a big town like New York. I just asked the person to stop using my address, and when my child cried because of the harassment, the police were called.
I have been absolutely careful since then, but now I have a very unpleasant experience with a mom friend of mine who was involved with my kids and we had a mutual friend who I had no choice but to hang out with at first, so please hear me out. Let's say her name is J. Our condo has amenities where people can get together, have barbecues, pools, etc., but J came over under the guise of a playdate for the kids. J came over on the pretext of having a play date with her kids, and since I couldn't open the door to this area without a digital key, I lent her the key. A few hours later, J had successfully lost the key and I was nearly in tears. Later that night I received a text message from him saying that he was sorry because his child had accidentally put the key in his pocket. I was relieved and got the key back a few days later, but for some reason the nagging bad feeling never went away.
On Memorial Day, this mutual friend of ours asked us to have a BBQ at our condo, so we did our best to prepare a BBQ for the kids' friends who were coming. Of course, J came too, and the kids returned first, leaving her alone. I was busy cleaning up and taking care of the kids when J asked me for the key again. 20 or 30 minutes later he didn't come back, which I thought was strange, but nothing happened and the day was over. A few days later I was going to the DMV and needed to bring my ID, so I was going to bring my passport and my green card, which I always keep with me, when I noticed that it was missing along with my credit card. I was going to take my passport and my green card, which I always keep with me, when I noticed that they were missing along with my credit card. I also thought that I should be very careful because I am the mother of a child's classmate. However, I later learned from another Korean mother that she was an illegal immigrant. I did some googling and found out that the indentityft consisting of illegal immigrants of Korean descent is a big problem. I am by no means anti-Korean or racist. But I would like to make sure that Japanese people like me who don't know such things in the US should be aware of it. Of course I have seen many fine Koreans. But unfortunately, there are many criminals among them. And their ways are very devious and egregious. It is easy to be easy to forgive them because they are Asian, but please keep in mind that their senses are basically completely different from Japanese people. And please do not invite people you do not know well to your house or premises.

As a postscript, Japanese people are generally thought of as stupid and good-natured, and Korean criminals think that committing crimes against Japanese people is a rather natural punishment for them. They approach us pretending to be nice, and the worst part is that they are always neat and clean, drive nice cars, and you would never know that they are criminals by their appearance. They are always waiting for you to bring them food or to be your off guard, so be really careful.

When we followed the directions, it smelled bad and had maggots in it. We have been tying the garbage bags tightly shut before throwing them out, and we only put lawn clippings and weeds from gardening in the green area, boxes, cans, bottles and PET bottles in the recycle area, and all food scraps and regular garbage in the trash area. I put all food scraps and regular garbage in garbage bags and throw them away in the trash.
