AISubs v3.7
If you think that the world's largest population is middle school students...
You're late.
India has the largest population in the world now.
In particular, there are many young people.
The average age is 28 years old.
So, if Mr. Shupen is in India, he is not young anymore.
He is an old man.
I'm desperate.
In India, where the atmospheric pollution is terrible, something like this appears.
Clean up the whole city!
So, air purifiers were made.
Does it make sense?
But the effect is unknown.
In China, abnormal weather was coming.
A side of desert...
Look at the scenery of snow...
Since the road is frozen, people are playing like on a slide.
People are skiing and...
They are snowing and...
That's dangerous!
That's a lot of snow on the stairs.
Some people got injured, but...
An accident happened in Kampa.
That's dangerous!
And this is...
It's before noon, but...
The area is bright red.
What happened?
The cause is...
Sand wrapped in strong wind!
Sand wrapped in strong wind...
Dissolved the short wave's blue light...
And only the wave's long red light reached the ground.
Let's make a reservation.
It's a rare phenomenon.
By the way, recently in China...
This way of receiving New Year's money is a hot topic.
Is it good?
Is it okay?
This is the way of receiving New Year's money seen in various parts of China.
What do you mean?
Isn't it good not to be born?
If you hit your head against a tray, you'll get twice as much.
Because of this news...
The number of children copying has increased.
The country with the most oil in the world is China!
No, it's not!
It's America now!
Japan used to be the 3rd largest economy country in the world, but...
But now, Germany is 4th largest economy country in the world!
It is often said that the world is changing a lot now, but what you learned at school in the past or the image you have is not the same as in the past, but now the world is changing a lot!
Oh, long horns!
In Kenya in Africa, IT was progressing so far!
Traffic jams are terrible and it's hard to get a bus, so attach a GPS to the bus and you can check when and where you are driving!
You can also know the approximate arrival time!
It is a system developed and invested by Japanese companies!
In addition, Ikenami Akira went to America!
Now the world is changing a lot!
So today, let's update our perception of the world!
First of all, adults from Korea!
I love him!
His behavior is right and he is cool.
I think he is a person who doesn't exist in the world.
Otani is very popular in Korea, too!
This week, the first major official match will be held in Korea.
This is the first appearance of the Dodgers' ruins.
I'd like to see it.
I'd like to see it, too!
It was a big hit all over Korea!
Let's go show it!
I don't think it's a good idea not to feed dogs.
In Korea, there is still a shop that offers dog food, which is considered a traditional food culture.
However, there has been a lot of criticism for many years, and it has finally been decided to ban it in January of this year.
On the other hand, there is also a voice like this.
I don't think there's a reason for criticism about what you eat, and culture must be respected.
Food culture or animal abuse?
Even now, there is a debate about whether it is banned or not.
So, what is happening in Korea now?
"Report from the site"!
Hello, I'm reporter Choo Gyeon-jin, a Korean.
I'd like to introduce what is happening in Korea now.
The first thing I'd like to introduce is a popular sweet now.
It's called "yakga".
It's a traditional snack.
It's a snack made of wheat flour, honey and sesame oil.
It looks delicious.
It's a traditional snack that has been around for a long time in Korea.
Recently, it's been a boom among young people.
Don't you want to try it?
No, I don't.
It's moist and crispy.
It's so popular that it's like an idol's concert ticket.
It's even a popular word "yakgetting".
It may be a hot topic in Japan soon.
There was a time when Korea and Japan didn't have a good relationship before.
What do Koreans actually think of Japan?
I like it.
I think everyone around me likes Japan.
I like Japanese soccer players.
So I like Japan, too.
I love it.
Japanese food is so delicious that I love Japan.
Now in Korea, it's a coincidence that Japan is booming.
For Japanese people, Korea is an image of K-pop.
Japanese music is very popular.
This is a record bar popular with young people.
In Korea, there are more record bars where you can enjoy music while drinking tea or alcohol.
Japanese songs have a lot of requests.
Music from the Showa era is also very popular.
There seems to be a lot of J-pop fans, too.
I often listen to Japanese artists called "scissors group".
"Fishmans", "Ishibashi Eiko"
Such Japanese artists are my profile music.
There are quite a few people who set the song they play on their social media profile screen to Japanese music.
A reporter asked this person, who is familiar with Japanese music, about this.
Do you know Sakurazaka46?
How is it?
Do you know them?
What is the popularity rate in Korea?
I don't know their names.
I've seen their music videos on YouTube several times.
If you have to choose between these two, which one do you think will be more popular in Korea?
Let's see.
Both of them are very cute, so it's difficult for me to choose based on their looks.
Music is not the only thing that's booming!
This is a bookshop called "Entrance" where young people gather even in Seoul.
There are a lot of Japanese signs here.
Here, too.
Over there, too.
This sign is also in Japanese.
There are so many Japanese signs all over the city!
I often go to Japan, so when I see Japanese signs, I want to go in.
Do you know any Japanese signs?
Thank you very much.
Thank you in advance.
I think people say "delicious" a lot.
Is it delicious?
Japanese izakaya shops are also very popular!
It really looks like Japan.
Ta-da!
Cheers with Japanese beer!
Highball is now a classic.
Many people like highball.
What kind of menu do you like?
Otako-asabi!
Japanese food and drinks are well permeated.
It's a lot of oden.
That's right. It looks delicious.
There are shops that care about even such small details.
This is also in Japanese and so is this.
Everything is written in Japanese.
In front of the shop, everything is written in Japanese.
There is even such a note in the shop.
They are quite particular about it.
The menu is also written in Japanese like this.
Even though it is handwritten,
Kanji and Katakana are also well reproduced.
There are many Japanese-style shops in Korea,
but there aren't many Japanese-style izakayas.
That's why, when I was studying in Japan,
I often said that I wanted to create a small izakaya atmosphere.
What is this?
This is also a common one.
While being in Korea, when you feel Japan,
it seems to be very popular with young generations.
By the way, in addition to the classic menu such as chicken nanban,
Japanese food arrangement menu also seems to be very popular.
What is the proud Japanese-style creative dish that the store owner has recently succeeded in developing?
I thought the name of a Korean bar was interesting.
There was a name like "boyfriend" or "me".
I'd like to go around.
It's been about 30 years since I was in my twenties.
They don't sell draft beer in that store.
If you want to drink draft beer, please go to a draft beer specialty store.
It was like a specialty store.
Now that I see it, I'm drinking draft beer.
Oh, you can already drink draft beer.
I was a little surprised.
They're drinking Japanese beer.
A little while ago, there was an anti-Japanese movement to sell Japanese beer.
Before I knew it, everyone is happy and drinking.
Now, in Korea, Japan's tolerance has risen sharply.
It has recorded the highest in the past.
It has been about 30 years since I was in my twenties.
I think it is great that President Yoon Sun-nyeol took office in 2022.
In particular, it is very effective for President Yoon and Japan.
In Korea, if the government changes, Japan's response will also change.
I think that will greatly affect people's emotions.
Korea is now said to be a coincidental Japanese boom, but on the other hand, there was also such a voice.
I like Japan in my head, but not in my heart.
To be honest, I don't like it.
I am interested in Japanese culture, but there are also awkward problems with Korea.
I feel very angry about such problems.
The comfort women problem hasn't been solved yet, has it?
So we have to apologize in person, and even in history classes, if we don't tell people that Japan has done something wrong, we can't make up.
So, even if you like Japanese culture and music, there are still many people who think politics is different.
In the high-intensity survey earlier, it was the highest in the past,
but if you compare it with other countries in the world, you can see another aspect.
The percentage of people who have a high sense of Japanese is 44% in Korea, which is the highest in the past.
Now, if you look at other countries...
Now, look at Britain, America, France.
It's more than 90%.
But if it was a little lower, it's gotten this high now.
The comfort women problem and the ex-adolescents problem haven't been completely solved yet.
That's what Koreans think.
That's why middle-aged generations have been subject to anti-Japanese education and have a strong voice for Japan.
The current four presidents are very effective for Japan, but there will be a general election in Korea in April, right?
I think we need to pay attention to whether or not this will change the atmosphere in Korea.
India is also very different from your image.
Hello, everyone in Japan. I'm Kajal.
I'm going to tell you what India is like now from New Delhi, the capital.
What is the image of India in Japan?
The image of curry is strong.
The image of eating with your hands.
Eating with your hands.
It's rude of me to say it's pretty dirty, but there is resistance.
Indians are eating curry with their hands?
They're late.
Now, many people eat with spoons.
Why do you think that's increased, Suzuki-san, who loves curry?
Indians are...
What?
They're sticky.
It's finally continued?
The awareness of hygiene has improved, but eating with your hands is a big reason why smartphones get dirty.
I see.
In addition, when you drink tap water in India, don't you have the image of breaking your stomach?
Recently, in India, there is also a home where you can drink tap water directly.
It's very clear.
It's delicious.
There is also Japanese support, and facilities are being built to improve water quality.
India, which is now economically developing enough to say that it will pull out of Japan in the near future.
It will be news that IT is amazing.
In fact, it was progressing so far.
This is an Aadhar card.
It's like a "my number" card in India, and it's tied up with a bank account.
To register, you need fingerprint and eye contact information.
So, even if you don't have a card in your hand, you can withdraw money with just a fingerprint.
By using this system, you can withdraw money online at any small stall.
You can't live without a card anymore.
Some people used to withdraw money and have money, but now they can't do it because they know the assets.
It's a good thing, isn't it?
Since IT is progressing, the landscape of the city has also changed dramatically.
It's like a cell phone shop. Is it a little old-fashioned?
There are so many security cameras in the city.
Delhi is now a city with many security cameras in the world.
Some of them are equipped with A.I.
You can find bad people who have been registered in advance and ring an alarm to let you know.
There were no public toilets in the past, and it feels like the road is being developed and maintained.
On the other hand, there are also opinions like this.
It's developing, but it's not developing enough to support all people.
The unemployment rate is also rising.
Many people are still poor and have not changed.
It's not getting any better than the media.
Only some of them are rewarded for the development of the country.
Since there are many people, it is flourishing as a country, but there are still many poor people.
There are still many people living on the streets in capital New Delhi.
There is also such a train in the suburbs.
Today's India has a wide range of income and regional differences.
Such India may change its name now.
In an international place, they described the country's name like this.
Here.
Until now, on the left side, they described India as "India" in English,
but now they described it as "Bharat".
The reading of this in Hindi is "Bharat".
In other words, it is not "India" in English,
but it appeals that it is "Bharat" in Hindi.
According to India's most common religion,
Will India's "top" seriously change its name?
Originally, "India" was born as a country that acknowledges various religions,
but "Modi" is a Hindu commercialist.
So, after this, the country's name may really change.
"Ikegami's current state of the world" update Next is this country.
From developing Southeast Asia, Thailand!
It's not only for me, but also for my family.
I didn't get that lottery, but it was the biggest event of my life.
Thailand has a military duty for men over 21 years old.
Every year in April, how do you decide to join the military?
"Lottery" (kujibiki)
You draw a piece of paper painted in two colors.
If you draw a red piece of paper, you will join the military.
If you draw a black piece of paper, you will join the military.
Some people get shocked and run away when they see a red piece of paper.
At the lottery venue, up to the announcement, the military keeps fit.
The strict military discipline seems to be not only for herself but also for her family.
Black!
Some people cry out of relief because of being exempted.
I've seen it before. It was really scary.
The parent and child suddenly scream and run away.
What on earth happened?
At first, I thought it was a dog.
It was a wild swimming pool and shadows.
It's too big, isn't it?
As the city developed, the living rights of wild animals and humans became closer.
Recently, it has increased and sometimes it comes into the house.
Are you going to play with it?
It's time for the military to report from the site.
Hello, everyone in Japan.
- Hello. - How are you?
I'm Mio, a Japanese influencer who loves Japan.
Thailand is one of the countries in the world that competes for first and second place,
but there are many shops in the city where you can eat Japanese food even in this cold weather.
Tonkatsu.
I like ramen.
I like salmon and sushi.
I like anime.
Hi-chew.
Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Now, a popular Swiss food has also come from Japan in Bangkok.
That is grilled sweet potatoes.
Grilled sweet potatoes started selling because of the launch of the Taiwan branch store,
but it's still very popular even in warm Thailand.
Latte with grilled sweet potatoes now.
It looks delicious.
Sweets like Montblanc are also popular.
It's delicious.
If you ask people in Japan about the image of Thailand...
- Cheap. - I think it's cheap.
I'd say it's about one-third of what it is.
I think it's less developed than Japan.
Riding a cheap tuk-tuk and eating cheap food at a stall.
That image may be old.
This is a very popular noodle dish for Japanese people,
but it's two or three times more expensive than it used to be.
I see.
Ten years ago, it was about 300 yen per bowl.
It's going up little by little.
It's 300 baht now.
1,200 yen per bowl.
It's about the same price as eating it in Japan.
Due to the high price of goods and low price of salt, for Japanese people,
Thai food is not as profitable as it used to be.
In addition, you can eat various Japanese dishes in Thailand,
but sushi that you can eat at the counter is
more than 10,000 yen.
It's as expensive as Japanese high-end restaurants.
The locals don't eat it much.
It's delicious.
It's not different from eating it in Japan, isn't it?
By the way, let's ask about popular dishes.
- It looks delicious. - It's sea urchin.
All customers order sea urchin if it's not in the menu.
As for tuna, I think Japanese people like it,
and Thai people are getting closer to it.
It's not just about food.
The streets of Bangkok have become cleaner and have changed a lot from their image in the past.
In the center of Bangkok, there are high-rise buildings of mansions and department stores.
At the popular riverbank, there are also high-end mansions.
The rent of a popular room in this mansion is one million yen per month.
In popular areas, even high-end property with a rent of one million yen can be filled up quickly.
In fact, the annual income in Thailand is also increasing.
In large companies' department stores, the average annual income in Japan is about 17 million yen,
while in Thailand it is more than 20 million yen.
It has already been exceeded.
Thailand has also developed, and you can get most of what you want, and I think it hasn't changed much from Japan.
Southeast Asian countries that thought it was cheap, why has it changed so much?
That's it, Thailand's economy is developing, isn't it?
In the past, agriculture, which had relatively little profit, was at the center of industry, but recently, for example, automobiles or electronic equipment production, manufacturing has become the main industry.
Because of these improvements, the economy has developed a lot and it is really flourishing.
The person who came from Thailand to Japan the other day was surprised when he ate various things in Japan and it was the same price as in Thailand.
I was surprised to hear that statement.
That's what it is like now, isn't it?
And it is said that there is a cause for development that has developed like that, isn't it?
The reason why it has developed so rapidly is because it is afraid of that country!
Now more than Japan?
Against the country that became a trigger for the rapid development of the economy?
Where is it? Is it like America?
Yes, why?
Well, America is familiar in any country, so it's like Thailand, America, Japan, America.
How about you, Odakara-san?
Well, I think so, too.
But I have an image that the economy is developing in the same way,
and I think it's China, so I think it's growing with Thailand.
China is right, but the reason is a little different.
In particular, when China's economy developed rapidly,
there was a word "China plus one".
Companies around the world are building factories in cheap countries with as low human rights fees as possible and making various things.
That was China in the past.
However, China is developing rapidly.
Human rights fees have become higher.
In addition, advanced technology has been exported.
There were many problems, such as making it difficult for the Chinese government to speak out and act.
That was Thailand.
Therefore, various companies from China began to transfer factories to Thailand, and Thailand began to develop rapidly there.
However, recently, it has become like this.
Thailand plus one. Thailand's salary is also rising, so it can't make costs cheaper.
Therefore, Japan is looking for countries with cheaper human rights fees than Thailand.
This is the situation now and in Southeast Asia.
Your image may be old.
Update to the world now.
Next is China.
New Year's Eve is also a big holiday, and many Chinese people move to Thailand again this year.
The number of people is indistinguishable from anywhere.
The station is as you can see.
Traffic jams in various places.
Because cars don't move much, people play badminton or make fried rice on the highway.
For some reason, even people who show off shishimai appeared.
Did you happen to have shishimai?
China has progressed this far.
This car.
Unmanned taxi.
It is already practicalized in the decided period.
In addition, this is an unmanned patrol car.
In real-time, while delivering the situation of the city to the police, it patrols for 24 hours.
A high-tech public toilet also appears.
When facial recognition is done.
A piece of paper comes out.
Well, it depends on the condition of the paper.
Once you put out the paper,
after that, for 10 minutes,
you can't put out the paper with the same person.
In addition, now in China,
generational AI influencers
sell products for 24 hours,
AI is dissolving into daily life.
On the other hand, now,
it's so bad that you can't see the future.
I tried to report the current situation in China,
but I couldn't cover it.
I guess the Chinese authorities told me not to cover foreign media.
Is this program marked as well?
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is. I'm saying it so easily.
So is "Stran" and "Ikegami-san", right?
Yes, of course.
Oh, I see.
Oh, is it because of "Ikegami-san"?
No, it's not like that.
It's not allowed to cover foreign media.
China is in a bad situation.
Foreign media are saying that China is in a bad situation.
This is not interesting for China, right?
Especially in China, if foreign media say that China is in a bad situation, they will be arrested.
Oh, I see.
So if foreign media say that China is in a bad situation, they won't be arrested.
It means that China is not allowed to cover foreign media.
Then, why is China in a bad situation?
There are many reasons, but there are two major ones.
One is the real estate boom.
And the other one is the decline of individual products.
The real estate boom is that China was in a real estate boom until recently.
As a result, some rich people buy and sell their real estate and become richer and richer.
Then, the current Xi Jinping government said that individual products should not spread.
So, it stopped the bank's interest.
In other words, even if a real estate company tries to build a real estate, the bank won't lend it to them.
Then, they can't build a new real estate.
Or, they can't build a new real estate because it stopped during construction.
As a result, the situation is getting worse.
In China, real estate transactions account for one- fourth of GDP, domestic total production.
As a result of real estate not selling at all, the economy is suffering a big blow.
Then, of course, individual products are dropped.
A little while ago, there was news that construction of apartments was stopped, but it is still going on now, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
In the past, exactly the same thing was happening in Japan.
If you think about it, 30 years ago, when the bubble burst in Japan, the cause was the real estate boom, and the price of apartments rose steadily.
Then, the dissatisfaction of the people was very high that they couldn't buy apartments, so at that time, the government told banks and real estate companies to buy land or build apartments and not to spend money.
As soon as everyone couldn't buy apartments, the situation got worse.
Exactly the same thing is happening in China now as it did 30 years ago in Japan.
We asked a Chinese person in Japan to tell us about it.
Now in China, I have a feeling that the salary is falling.
So, some people are buying cheap food that is close to expiration date, and those who can save are saving as much as possible.
Recently, even on social media, cheap snacks are often given out.
Now, it's popular that it's cheap and good.
It's really difficult to get a job.
You can't do anything if you've just graduated, and there are a lot of college students.
The competition is too fierce.
It's very tough at an ordinary level.
Even when I got a job in China, it was pretty tough.
Because of COVID-19, there are not many companies and salaries, and there are a lot of jobs, so I quit and came to Japan.
Without China, Japan cannot exist.
Therefore, China's failure is of great importance to us as well.
Not only failure, there is one more thing that affects Japan.
Right next to Japan.
Taiwan situation.
Taiwan has always been a part of China,
Now, the tension is so high that it could lead to a military conflict.
Meanwhile, in the general election to decide Taiwan's top candidate held in January...
There are two political parties, the People's Party that wants to keep a distance from China, and the National Party that wants to get along with China.
In the last general election, the People's Party that wants to keep a distance from China won.
It is scheduled to take office in May.
In the past, when the National Party was in power, the People's Party said that Taiwan should be independent.
However, after the general election, there is a possibility of China attacking Taiwan.
So now, that position is sealed.
Just like before, China is keeping a distance from Taiwan, but not completely independent.
Mr. Ikigami, is there a possibility of China attacking Taiwan in the future and causing a conflict?
China is strengthening military training right next to Taiwan.
Will there really be a conflict?
I can't say that there won't be a conflict at all.
But if China does that, they know that they will be under economic sanctions from all over the world and that China's economy will be in trouble.
In any case, if they try to be independent, they are putting a brake on it by saying that they will not eliminate the possibility of martial law.
What is the biggest prelude to war, or what can't be stopped now?
If Taiwan says it's independent, it will stop it in any way and take military action.
I see.
So, if they don't say it's independent, it won't be a war for the time being. That's Taiwan now.
Oh, wow!
HK?
Oh, yeah.
Just make sure you're keeping it pointed in a safe direction.
Book clubs like this are becoming very popular.
World up-to-date! From Africa...
Kenya!
What kind of image does Kenya have?
At first glance, I think of animals and nature.
I think of wild animals.
I think of savannas.
Savannas.
Savannas jump high like this.
Like Masai, and other tribes.
In vast savannas, there are many wild animals.
I have such an image.
It may be because of the age.
Well, how are things going now?
Jumbo.
Junbo.
I'm Tony from Kenya.
I'm Eric.
Kenya is developing like this, and it is progressing year by year, and it is developing like this.
Yes, it is.
Nairobi?
In the urban area, there are so many high-rise buildings.
Where is Savannah?
High-speed railways and...
Savannah is not in Nairobi.
Oh, I see.
High-speed roads are also being maintained.
The economy is growing rapidly in Africa, but...
Is this more than Japan?
Technology was advancing like this.
In this shop...
- How much? - 150 Kenya shillings.
Actually, this is it!
A mobile phone delivery system developed in Kenya.
- Rather than going to the bank, you can directly deliver it. - So you can go about your day with a lot of enjoyment.
- It's convenient, fast and safe. - Is that so? - Yeah.
In Kenya, you only need one mobile phone for exchanging money.
In Japan, you can register a bank account for charging your mobile phone.
But in this system, you can charge your mobile phone without a bank account.
When you pay, you only need to enter the amount and send a message.
- Wow! - That's why...
Even in the countryside...
I don't have cash, so I'll pay with my mobile phone.
It's easy to do, so even if you're not in the city department, it's natural for you to be cashless.
- Wow! - Moreover...
- I'm here to collect my salary. - You can do it. - Cash!
It's easy to collect cash, too.
They've been doing this since they didn't have a mobile phone yet.
- There's more! - Wow!
Tourists take pictures of animals...
and send them to the app along with sighting information.
They use that information to find out what's going on and manage it.
The more people say "silicon savanna", the more IT is progressing in this country.
That's what Kenya is like now.
By the way...
Of course, many of them are Masai people who own smartphones,
sell livestock for cashless payments,
and some of them even send messages on social media.
Really?
As a group, we were thinking of doing our best
if we could send a message like TikTok or YouTube to that person in Kenya.
How about sending a message in Swahili?
It might reach him.
We'll do our best.
This is also going on in Kenya.
Until a little while ago...
This is what they did with plastic bags and garbage.
But now...
We don't use plastic bags in Kenya.
If you do, you'll get caught or fined.
Not only are plastic bags paid for,
but in Kenya, not only are plastic bags manufactured, sold, and imported,
but they are also not allowed to be used at all!
In order to clean up the city,
they use bags like kitchen towels.
If you use a plastic bag, you'll get a fine of up to 4.5 million yen.
It's expensive!
It's expensive.
You might end up in prison for up to four years.
It's said to be the toughest country in the world.
Kenya is currently taking environmental measures.
This kind of trick...
Here's the problem.
In Kenya,
they're recycling waste from the coast into art.
Suzuki-san, what do you think they're made of?
What kind of waste? Pet bottles.
The answer is beach sandals.
Beach sandals that have been washed up to the coast.
Kenya's N.P.O. bought them and recycled them.
Beach sandals?
Colorful animal objects.
They make and sell smartphone cases.
Japanese companies are also participating in this project.
In addition, Japan is cooperating with Kenya in many ways.
That is, thermal power generation.
About 90% of the electricity used in Kenya is renewable energy.
Among them, geothermal power generation is the most common.
Since they use earth's heat, they rarely emit carbon dioxide.
It's an eco-friendly generation method, but it's technically difficult.
That's where Japan is cooperating.
Japan is making fireplaces and making electric power plants.
It's only been 7 years since 2017, but environmental measures have been taking place with great momentum.
I think it's great that measures are progressing properly.
It seems that IT is progressing in Kenya.
That's right. When I went there, they were all doing rice transactions on mobile phones.
That's because of a country like this.
Leapfrog phenomenon.
The infrastructure was already delayed, and there were no phones.
Suddenly, if you had a mobile phone, you could make a checkbook and make a phone right away.
It's said to have advanced rapidly and skipped the way.
Or when you go to the countryside, you can't go to a bank because you don't have one.
As a result of being able to make transactions on mobile phones, IT has advanced this much.
In addition, Africa still has a tremendous amount of leapfrog.
After all, it is population.
It is said that by 2050, it will be one-fourth of the world's population.
And the average age in Africa is now 19 years old.
After all, in Kenya, there are people who graduate from a top university in Western countries and come back.
Kenya used to be a British colony, so many people can speak English fluently.
In that sense, international trade is also possible.
In that sense, Kenya is rapidly developing.
As young and talented people increase, the IT industry will develop more and more.
In that sense, Africa will be the one that will lead the world economy, won't it?
The world continues to change, so let's update it!
From Europe, it's the UK.
Hello, I'm London's reporter, Agatha.
The UK that Japanese people imagine may be quite an old image.
What's popular with young people in the UK now is...
Instead of looking at my computer, I try to spend more time reading books.
Recently, I read about two books a week.
Actually, I'm still on my way to the bookstore.
Reading is booming in Generation Z.
What's being held here is a gathering called "Book Club".
Young people read books in groups,
get together every month, and share their opinions.
Through books, I was able to get to know a lot of people.
I definitely think that everyone is tired of being away from people due to COVID-19.
You know, people really want to get together and create a community.
You know, the popularity of book clubs is really evident of that.
Now, there are more and more book clubs like this.
Being away from digital technology is the cutting edge.
Wow, that's amazing.
But you know, in Japan, people spend their days without using their smartphones.
So, I thought that this kind of book club was really good.
Speaking of England, the image of its glittering royal palace is also strong, isn't it?
The birth of a new king.
Royal family's fashion.
Cute princes and princesses.
And even scandals.
Even in Japan, there is a lot of news about it, isn't it?
Of course, even in England, it is always eye-catching.
That's what I think.
I'm not interested in royal families.
I don't think we need royal families.
Not only are they not interesting, but they also have a lot of critical opinions.
I think royal families themselves are an old way of thinking.
Besides, it costs too much money, so we have to keep the business going.
The existence of royal families has attracted many tourists to the UK.
So in that sense, I think they are worth having.
But in terms of other things, you don't have to have royal families.
It is said that the interest in royal families is diminishing, especially among younger generations.
Since Queen Elizabeth died two years ago, there has been an increase in people supporting the abolition of royal families.
The other day, Charles the Great praised cancer.
As the aging of royal families progresses, how will they maintain their existence?
Britain is now worried about that.
Speaking of royal families, I was surprised when you said you weren't interested in royal families because you had an image of the UK.
I'm worried about Prince Harry, too, so I'm curious.
It was sold for half the price of Prince Harry's backbone, which was sold in the UK.
It wasn't sold that much.
I thought it would be popular because it was packed.
But it was sold at a low price.
That's what I was curious about.
Do you remember the EU departure?
It was news in Japan, too.
EU
Saying "I want to get out of there" and voting for the people, they decided to leave.
In fact, they left about three years ago.
I don't think it was wrong to leave the EU.
I can only say it's the worst.
It's a big accident.
I originally voted in favor of leaving, but now I truly regret it.
When they decided to leave...
Even though they were so happy...
Many people regretted it.
In a public opinion poll, more than half of people said leaving was a mistake.
Do you think it's a mistake?
EU, I had an image that the flow of people was very active, and when it stopped, I thought that the number of workers had decreased.
A big reason for this is that leaving the EU has made life difficult.
As you know, EU is free for people to move between countries. Especially since the UK is an economic powerhouse, many immigrants worked in the UK.
However, due to such people, jobs for British citizens were taken away, or because medical expenses in the UK were free, immigrants were treated for free.
There was a lot of opposition to using our tax money for such things, but as a result, immigrants stopped coming and disappeared.
As Mr. Utakura said, there were no more workers.
Once again, I realized that the UK was really supported by immigrants.
In the EU, people and things are free to move.
Even in other countries, things are like in Japan.
However, by leaving the EU, I became a foreigner.
For example, in the UK, they imported fresh vegetables from France in large quantities.
However, since they became foreigners, they had to export them.
So, French farmers said, "Why do we have to export such things? It's troublesome.
It would be better to export them to other EU countries, wouldn't it?"
As a result, fresh vegetables didn't come in.
Or, people who worked in medical or nursing fields all emigrated.
They all went home.
As a result, there was a huge shortage of people.
As a result, the cost of living went up.
As a result, various products couldn't be purchased.
This is the current situation in the UK.
How serious is the situation in reality?
When you think of the UK, you think of pubs, don't you?
Pubs are not only places where you can drink, but also where you can talk with your friends.
But now, pubs and restaurants are closing down.
Why?
Before leaving the EU, a lot of people applied for a job as soon as they applied for a job.
But now, people don't come at all.
After leaving the EU, there has been a shortage of people.
Many pubs and restaurants have closed down.
But now, pubs and restaurants have closed down.
Getting together in a pub and enjoying a drink together is an important British culture.
So we'd like young people to experience it more.
Oh, I see.
Sakurazaka46 has continued since leaving the EU.
Everyone is having a hard time raising their living expenses.
I just bought an orange juice, but it was four pounds.
I was surprised because it was so expensive.
Everything is doubled.
Food is doubled, electricity and gas are doubled.
At home, we try not to turn on the heater as much as possible.
In the midst of a difficult situation, a popular shop is now...
This is very popular in London now.
Grilled meat burger.
She went out to London.
This place is really delicious.
I'm enjoying it.
You can eat a lot of things at affordable prices.
I'm really grateful.
This is a popular menu's lunch set.
At this volume and this price, it's very reasonable.
It looks delicious.
Wow, she's using chopsticks.
It's very delicious. It's lovely, isn't it?
I hate cooking, but cooking here is fun, isn't it?
In fact, many people in England wondered why they had to go to a restaurant and cook for themselves.
But, since it's so delicious and reasonable, even Londoners are used to cooking for themselves now.
It's just right.
Was it such a hassle to cook yakiniku in the first place?
But, yakiniku was good.
Mr. Ikigami, if more than half of the people want to go back,
shouldn't we ask them "Excuse me, is it possible for you to go back?"
Oh, that's fine.
The EU always asks you to come back whenever you leave England.
But, it hasn't been long since you left England, so you can't go back right now.
I think you will go back eventually.
If you think you hate Japan...
Let's run! Let's run!
If you love the present...
If you think China's economy is doing well...
In China now, I have a feeling that wages are falling.
If you think the situation is really bad...
That image may be old.
Let's update the world's present!
What you learned at school in the past...
Or what you think now...
Well, isn't it the same as it used to be?
But, the world has changed a lot now.
Next is America.
Wow, it's cool.
There are a lot of drones to express illustrations and so on.
It's a drone show.
It's increasing in Japan, and it's like this recently.
Wow, it's amazing.
Is it Aya?
Wow, it's amazing.
They can use drones to propose.
In America...
1500 drones can express 3D.
Wow, it's amazing.
This is the world's first drone-made fictional character.
It's amazing.
Drone Empire America!
Technology is evolving more and more.
This man is a hot topic in America now.
Wow, he looks like an American.
He goes up many high places without hesitation.
Wow, he looks like an American.
He calls himself "Spider-Man".
I like places like this in the U.S.A.
What did he aim for this time?
Oh, a spear.
There it is, a spear.
It's a big one.
He thought it was a big pumpkin,
but one day it became a basketball.
And!
This is an event venue with an LED screen outside, and the scale of it is the largest in the world.
Climbing such a high-rise apartment about 30 times,
While the LED is dazzlingly bright, they reach the top.
Of course! After that, they were arrested.
Is this a ghost?
When such news becomes a hot topic,
A car's navigation system
Around it, information such as cameras and ultrasonic sensors are displayed.
Passing through a graveyard where no one is around,
The navigation system shows
A human figure.
As technology advances,
it may be close to the day when ghosts can be revealed.
Isn't it something like "ga"?
"ga" flying in human form or something like that, isn't it?
Recently, a Japanese company called "Red Cliff", which provides video there,
I interviewed a Japanese company for a while,
and they can put a huge two-dimensional board in the sky.
If a two-dimensional board suddenly appears in the night sky of the countryside without any explanation,
people will definitely scan the sky.
And they use the sky as an advertising medium.
I wonder if you've ever seen the sky.
That's classic.
It was a little old.
And this time, Mr. Ikegami went to America.
There is also a presidential election this year,
so he went to Texas, one of the states where crabs are caught.
When you say "Texas", what kind of image do you have?
Is it the image of oil that Mr. Ikegami told me about?
Oh, originally, where oil came out.
Is that the image you have?
What about you, Ms. Odakura?
I have a very wide image.
It's the latest, isn't it?
Isn't it "saboten" and "ganman"?
Thank you very much.
Please make it easy for me to talk about "no, it's not like that" with such an old image.
Texas is in the south of America and is in contact with Mexico.
It's about 12 hours by direct flight from Haneda to Dallas.
Dallas is a place where President Kennedy was assassinated in my generation.
This is the scene.
There is a X mark on the road.
President Kennedy was shot here.
He drove an open car from the other side of the road and turned here with a curve.
His speed was very slow.
President Kennedy's target, Oswald, was this building.
It's a brown building.
This is a warehouse of a textbook company.
He was shot from the window on the sixth floor of this building.
However, after Oswald was arrested, he was assassinated again immediately.
Therefore, we don't know the motive of the crime in the first place.
This is a murder case of assassinating President Kennedy that took place 61 years ago.
This place is Dallas, Texas.
That place is now Dallas, Texas.
What kind of image does Texas have for you?
I went to Fort Worth, next to Dallas, Texas.
Many Japanese people think of Rodeo or Cowboys when they think of Texas.
This place has a good old Texas cityscape.
I've seen this kind of thing on TV a lot, but I don't see it now.
I wonder how much Japanese children know about Rodeo.
It's a strange and lonely feeling.
This place is exactly like Texas.
There's a cow parade now.
It's a tourist attraction.
A lot of people come to see the cow parade.
It's about to start.
It's a long horn.
It's a local cow parade in Texas.
It's a long horn.
It's hard to balance because of the long horn.
Mr. Ikegami's unique impression.
Texas in America.
This kind of image is old.
I see. It's like Meiji Village.
Now, Texas is like this.
Various companies have moved here.
And IT industries and finance industries are also appearing here.
And this street is called Headquarters Street.
It's called Main Street.
Now, Texas is becoming a financial and IT city that represents America.
It's a long horn.
Oh, hi, hello. Nice to meet you. Akira from Tokyo. Thank you.
Why Dallas?
Because many companies had gathered in Dallas, we moved our headquarters here two years ago.
Why Dallas, not New York?
Because Dallas is growing more and more, I thought it was a very attractive place for venture companies like us.
I've heard that taxes for companies are cheap. Is that also attractive?
That's right.
When you say Texas, you have the image of a cowboy's city or desert.
I thought so too, but when I came here, it was completely different.
Well, there are places like America, New York, Silicon Valley, and many other places,
but Dallas has good transportation and international airports, and as a result, you can collect a lot of excellent design.
Or of course, even if taxes are cheap, it is very attractive.
There is also a North American headquarters of Japan's largest automobile company.
By gathering various companies, you can enjoy gourmet food from all over the United States.
But when it comes to Texas, it's got to be steaks!
Oh, wow!
- Wow! - Wow!
- Look at how big it is! - It's huge!
- Wow! - Wow!
- It looks good! - Look, it's got bones and a "t" shape.
- It's good! - It's huge!
- How much does it weigh? - Oh!
In our generation, we used to think that American steaks were really hard and hard to chew.
- But now, it's become extremely soft. - That's right.
It's almost as soft and delicious as Japanese steaks.
- It looks good! - Which do you like better, meat or fish?
I like meat.
- Wow! - Wow!
When you come to Texas's Dallas, there's one more place you want to stop by!
Texas-born George W. Bush former president's memorial museum!
- Wow! - Wow!
In addition to various exhibits from the president's era...
...the room that reproduced the president's bedroom in "White House" is also...
Visitors and children can sit in the president's bedroom and enjoy the president's mood.
- This is the classic past. - It's the same for any memorial museum.
The replica that reproduces the real thing, such as desks, chairs and accessories!
The president has become able to communicate with various people with just one button.
And there's a red button next to it.
- What is that, a blue star? - Oh, I see!
When President Donald Trump wants to increase his diet effect, this red button is used.
Mr. Ikegami found it embarrassing to sit down and commemorate...
...so he sat down as a staff member!
- As a staff member... - It's embarrassing.
Since Texas is connected with Mexico in the south of America, illegal immigrants from Mexico...
That is, many people from Central and South America come here because of Mexico.
The big problem is that there are a lot of illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants are a special problem in America now.
Among them, in Texas, which is connected with Mexico, there is a serious problem.
An emergency interview with immigrants from Mexico on the street!
- When did you come to America? - More than 30 years ago.
- How did you get into America? - By walking.
- Walking? - Walking?
And it took me four days to swim in the river.
I crossed the river from Mexico five years ago.
Many people died on the way, so it was really life-threatening.
Not only Mexico, but many illegal immigrants from Central and South America seek a job in America.
We decided to talk to a pastor of a church that supports immigration.
- Well, it's the other side of the church. - Oh, it's fast.
- Hi, how do you do? - Nice to meet you. I'm Akiro again from Tokyo, Japan. - Thank you.
- I heard you support immigrants. Why do you do that?
- Because the church is a place to help people in trouble, and it is also written in the Bible that helping people is important.
- However, in the United States, illegal immigrants, or undocumented immigrants are coming because there are people who help them like this.
- Rather, there are people who oppose it.
- The United States is a country of immigrants.
- In the first place, it is a country created by immigrants, so I think it is natural to accept it.
- Here, we lecture the continuation of immigration to immigrants brought by NGOs and send it to all parts of the United States.
- There are so many donated clothes and daily necessities in the church.
- Here, immigrants change their clothes and even hurt their shoes crossing the border.
- They change their clothes and start a new start from their underwear.
- For some reason, there was Japanese in the language.
- President Trump said that he would build a wall between history and history, and this became a major political issue.
- Even in January's presidential election, how to deal with illegal immigrants is a major political theme.
- Yes, Sakashita-san, how was it?
- I'm sorry, but the T-bone steak looked so delicious.
- After all, Texas had an image of steak in me, so it looked delicious.
- Due to the arrival of immigrants from outside, local people lost their jobs and were deprived of work for cheap wages.
I think we should think about this aspect as well.
It is said that the number of people working in Japan is decreasing due to aging,
but America is growing all the time.
One of the reasons is immigration.
47 million people, 14% of them are immigrants.
Among them, 1,050,000 people are illegal immigrants.
Since 1995, 30 million people have increased in America,
but 70% of them are immigrants and their children.
As America's population increases and economy develops, it is supported by immigrants.
Some experts point out that without immigrants, America is just a country.
America is involved in immigration.
That's why there are places like this.
Cities that hide illegal immigrants
sanctuary city
"New York", "Los Angeles", "Seattle" are called "cities that hide illegal immigrants".
For example, the U.S. Department of State is trying to force immigrants to come here,
but cities like this can refuse.
In other words, if you come to New York, we will help you as a city of New York.
We will protect you so you won't be deprived of your country.
There are cities like this.
Supporting food and other things to protect human rights of immigrants
Even though you are an illegal immigrant, you can be recognized like this
You can also get a driver's license
You are still illegal immigrants, right?
But you can get a driver's license if you go through the local government
That's how it is. So, once you enter the U.S., and if you go to New York or Seattle, you are already an illegal immigrant.
Speaking of the U.S., there are often incidents caused by guns in the news.
Here in Texas, even among all of the U.S., the regulations are loose.
What is happening now?
Let's see what kind of guns are sold at which gunsmiths shops.
Let's go to a gunsmiths shop in Dallas.
- Hello. - Hello.
- This is... - Wow.
- This is amazing. - Wow.
- It's spacious. - It's not a tool shop.
- I know there are guns, - Wow.
but I've never seen such a spacious place like this that can be used for war.
There is a shooting range in the store.
If you sign the contract,
anyone can experience it.
It's heavy, but it's also pretty...
It's amazing, isn't it?
It's not just a simple sword and gun.
"Go ahead" sounds mysterious.
It's heavy. It's pretty heavy. I think it's heavy.
What kind of people mainly come to buy it?
People who enjoy it as a hobby,
hunting,
or as a self-reliance.
With this one, it's pretty small.
It's easy for women to hold it as a self-reliance.
It's the most popular type at home.
It's about 585 yen.
You can buy it for 30,000 yen.
It's amazing, isn't it?
It's like a Japanese model gun.
It's a little over 50,000 yen.
There are people who buy it easily.
It's about 100,000 yen.
There are many gun shops in Dallas.
Some of them are very easy-to-enter shops.
Why can't guns be made in America?
It's because guns are guaranteed in the constitution.
In the first place, when Britain became independent,
all Americans had guns.
They fought against the British army and became independent.
Holding a gun is a symbol of our independence.
So even if you try to regulate guns,
there is an opposition movement in the constitution that says that rights are recognized.
As a result, regulations do not advance.
Even if you actually ask in the city...
I think there is no problem because it is recognized by the constitution.
I also have a gun for your trust, but we are given the right to have a gun.
I think most residents have one.
I have a gun.
Because there are dangerous animals around the house.
The price of guns is cheaper than I thought, and I was surprised at that first.
It is much cheaper to use guns used in war than pistols.
This is a surprise.
It's about the price of "Prestige V".
It's a price you can't help but buy "Prestige V" for a few years.
There are a lot of colorful guns for children.
There is also a shop that sells pink and cute rifle guns for girls.
The senses are different.
The senses are too different.
This November's presidential election is related to various regulations such as immigration and guns.
Texas has been a place of Republican support for more than 40 years.
But, it seems that it has changed a little now.
- Who will you vote for in November of this year? - Donald Trump.
- Why? - He likes girls! What's wrong with that?
- Can't girls become president? - It's easy to understand.
- Trump is a real man!
Trump used to have more white support and less black support.
But now, he has more black support.
- Are you originally American? - Yes.
- How can you speak Japanese? - I studied abroad in Japan.
- I also went to high school and college. - I see.
- What do you do for a living? - I'm a muscle man.
- Which do you support, Republican or Republican? - My family has always supported the Republican side.
But, I'm against the Republican side. So, I don't know which side I will vote for this year.
Last time, I supported Trump. But, I don't know which side I will vote for this year.
Trump becomes president. What will happen?
Texas has always been an overwhelmingly Republican state.
It's not strange for some people to say "Trump".
But, as the number of people who don't want to say "Trump" increases, some people may feel embarrassed to say "Trump".
So, there are quite a few people who don't want to say "Trump".
To be honest, what do Americans think of Mr. Trump?
When I ask about politics in Texas through street lights,
there are quite a few people who don't want to say "Trump".
But in Texas as a whole, there are people who like Mr. Trump,
and there are people who say "Trump is dead" properly,
so let's hear what they have to say.
What do Trump's supporters think?
I heard that you are supporting Trump. Why is that?
If he becomes president, the economy will improve.
He is a great businessman, so he will lead this country to great success.
Personally, I don't like his personality, but he is excellent as president.
Why can't Biden be president?
Because it's not America first!
He is physically unstable, and for America, he is weak.
For example, Trump said that she might have kissed a porn actress who had an affair.
It's a trial, isn't it? As a woman, what do you think about causing various problems in such a woman's relationship?
Other politicians do a lot of bad things, don't they?
Everyone has a lot of things in private life.
People who don't like him may judge him in court, so I don't know if it's true in the first place.
Especially, if President Trump supports Ukraine, he is using money for America, isn't he?
I think that's right. In the first place, I don't know if the reports we see are true or not.
Russia began its invasion of Ukraine at the time of President Obama, didn't it?
If Trump were president, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Do you think Trump will win in November's presidential election?
If a fair election is held, I think he will win.
At that time, President Trump believed that the economy of America would improve because he was a businessman.
And he said that if a fair election was held in November of this year, Trump would win.
On the contrary, I thought that if Trump lost, it would be a big problem again because it wasn't a fair election.
The news said "super Tuesday," but the actual election will be held in November.
I think that Trump will win.
What is he doing at this time of year?
In the video, I interviewed Biden and Trump to see which side they would support.
In fact, it is the summer presidential election that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party officially decide the presidential candidate.
The Republican Party will hold an election in July and the Democratic Party will hold an election in August and officially decide the presidential candidate.
From there, it will be a full-fledged presidential election.
Now, as presidential candidates, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have decided each state.
"Super Tuesday" is a full-fledged pre-election in many states on Tuesday, March 5th.
"Super Tuesday" is said to determine who will be elected as candidates.
As a result of "Super Tuesday," the Democratic Party's candidate is President Biden, who aims for the second term.
The Republican Party's candidate has almost been decided by Trump.
It is said that the same election will be held as it did four years ago.
Mr. Ikigami, is it okay?
Yes.
Mr. Ikigami, which do you think will be President Biden or Trump?
I don't know.
That's up to the American people.
"What if?" is said to be said.
What if Trump becomes President again?
For example, if Trump is a big company, he will be taxed.
He will be taxed like a rich man.
For example, if the stock price rises, it may result in a better Japanese economy.
It is said to spend 10% of the total tax on Japanese products.
Not only Japanese products, but 10% of the total tax on products from all over the world, and 60% of the total tax on imports from China.
Japan exports a lot of things to China, doesn't it?
In that case, Japan's economy will be worse in terms of cancellation.
Or, Japan is trying to withdraw the US military from Korea, isn't it?
If the US military leaves Korea,
Korea and Japan will be threatened by North Korea.
If you think about it, there will be a lot of bad things for Japan.
You got along well with Prime Minister Abe, didn't you?
Is there a Japanese politician who can work well with President Trump?
That's it.
I don't think there is such a person.
In fact, when Prime Minister Abe went to America secretly to improve his relationship with President Trump,
things haven't been going well for him yet.
World's Up-to-date
From the Middle East
Iran
It's a country far away from Japan, but what kind of image do you have of Iran?
Well, I have an image of wearing a hijab or hiding my hair.
After all, I have an image of a country that has a terrible relationship with America.
When I asked the people in the city...
At that time, in the 80s, there was something you could use for a phone call in a bubble.
They remodeled it.
Was there such a thing in the past?
Was someone selling something that could be used forever selling someone's thing?
I have the image that there were quite a few people because it was Yoyogi Park.
I also have the image that there is such a war or such a struggle, so I have the image that it is scary.
Iran is an Islamic country, isn't it?
I heard that if a woman tries to take something off, she will be criticized and attacked quite a bit.
I have the image that it is a little scary to walk with nothing on.
Iran has a scary image that it is also a cause of quarrels in the Middle East in an anti-American country.
What is going on now?
Cool!
Hello, everyone in Japan. I am Hassan. I have been working in Japan for 15 or 16 years.
This is Mosque in Tehran, Iran.
Everyone comes here to pray and eat food.
Iran is an Islamic country.
A woman hides her hair with a scarf called hijab.
I have a strict image that I have to wear it properly, but...
- Oh, hijab. - I don't wear it.
- Huh? - Huh?
Is it okay for tourists to wear hijab?
- A woman who doesn't wear hijab... - You're right! I don't wear it!
- Even though wearing hijab is a duty, she doesn't look like she's hiding it. - I see.
- Nowadays, there are more people who don't wear hijab, mainly young people. - Huh? Even though it's a duty?
- And in Iran, it seems like there are more people who care about their appearance. - I think there are more people who care about their appearance than in other countries.
- In Iran, plastic surgery is common. - There are more people who get plastic surgery.
- There are words like "kill me, but make me look cute".
- In Iran, too high nose is often lowered. - Wow!

This is Hamdam, an Iranian matching app developed by the government for prevention of dementia.
After taking a psychological test and entering the other party's conditions, matching is done.
When a couple is established, they first meet with their family, but the counselor is in the same seat.
Even after marriage, the counselor supports them for four years.
With time, strictness may be gone.
And especially, women who don't wear hijab symbolize Iran's present.
Even though it is a strict country, why do you have to wear it?
I have been going to Iran several times since I was a child, so this is a surprising story, isn't it?
This incident happened because in 2022, a man named Masha Amini was arrested by the moral police for not wearing a hijab properly.
There is a moral police.
Not an ordinary police, but a moral police.
In other words, there is a police that takes in people who do not wear a hijab or do not follow Islamic teachings properly.
After he was arrested there, he suddenly died.
And there was a protest that the police might have killed him.
A large-scale demonstration took place in front of Iran, and at this time many women were protesting.
From here on, the number of women who do not wear a hijab has increased.
Sometimes the police also tighten it up, but when they tighten it up, the opposition movement happens again, so now they pretend not to see it.
As a result, many young women are taking off their hijabs and surrendering.
That may be a big change for Iran.
So we've seen each country.
After all, it's really changing like this.
At the same time, I'm curious about what will happen in Japan in the future.
In that sense, I would like you to think about what we should do in peace.
