What's up, crazy people? This is Iyasasa Radio by Akane and Minami.
In this radio, we are going to talk about random topics in Okinawan Japanese and English.
はいたーい!
イヤササレディオのアカネとミナミやいびん。
ウヌレディオで無数4回、英語と沖縄口座にいっぺんおむさら話し続けやりちうむとおいびん。
The lush volcanic hills surrounding Volvique in central France has long been a source of mineral water priced worldwide,
but locals and geologists warn that too much is now being pumped out, putting the entire region at risk.
Robert Durham, a geologist, told AFP that the average flow rate at the Volvique source had fallen to 50 liters per second,
far below the 470 liters per second measured in 1927.
Water shortages are already impacting the region's biodiversity by reducing the natural humidity of the forested hills.
It can be described as the beginning of the desertification, and Christian Amblard, an expert with France's CNRS research institute in Clermont, found the historic capital of Auvergne.

The name is difficult.
Did you drink at Volvique?
To death.
I think especially when I was in university, I was always going to the convenience store to buy a bottle of water,
and I chose Volvique because of their package, and their taste was good.
03:00
I mean, it doesn't have a strong taste.
If I compare it to Evian.
I saw the article that Volvique tastes similar to Japanese water because it's made by Kazan Ryo Kyoryo.
But you chose Volvique because of the package, right?
Because of the package.
Because I didn't like a Japanese-easy bottle.
Because I was kind of a foreign person.
Something in English.
But after Irohasu came out, I kind of switched to Irohasu.
Why is that?
I don't know. Maybe it's because it's a foreign brand.
Also, Irohasu is easier to crush.
It makes it smaller when I throw it away than Volvique.
But Crystal Geyser is also easy to crush.
I was into Crystal Geyser because of Beyoncé.
It's a commercial.
It reminds me of Beyoncé.
When I lived in Tokyo, I ordered a lot of Crystal Geyser from Amazon.
Because the lid is thin.
I like to crush it really small.
It's a little bigger than others at the convenience store.
They have one little bottle.
It's not that expensive.
But do people tend to choose foreign products?
Maybe.
I think this Volvique news came out a year or two ago, right?
It's not a very new news.
Last year, in May.
I searched a little bit and someone said it's kind of unproductive.
You're drinking the water from overseas.
It takes cost and time and the water is heavy.
You can bring it to other countries.
That's true.
Do people come all the way from France to drink this water?
I think it's a negative thing.
And when you throw it away, you don't know what you're doing.
It's not just about Volvique.
I started digging the water issue.
I found out that there's a shortage of water.
The water in Okinawa and Naitsu is different.
06:03
Water is such a huge topic to think about.
It's a really basic issue.
But people really don't care about it.
Because it's always there and easy to get it in Japan.
When you go to overseas, like Southeast Asia, you can't drink from the tap.
Water is really special.
I feel like it's precious.
If you go abroad, you can't drink from the tap because it's scary.
Some article says that there is a level of test to produce water.
The test is harder in tap water and easier in mineral water.
That's so scary.
But we always buy water.
I don't drink from tap water.
You don't drink?
I don't drink and I don't throw it away.
It's too much work.
It's just easy to buy water by the bottle.
But it's kind of dangerous.
But you used to drink tap water?
Tap water.
When I was an elementary school student.
That was in Yonabaru.
But when I was a student, I used to drink a lot of tap water.
Really? Didn't you have a tap water machine?
Tap water machine appeared from junior high school.
Appeared?
It didn't exist in elementary school.
Did it exist?
It didn't.
Tap water machine is a proof of growth.
There is a tap water machine at school.
When I was a student, I used to drink tap water.
I thought tap water came after mineral water.
But when I talked to Akane, I thought it was different.
In my house, there was only Sampin tea.
There was no water.
Do you use water for cooking?
Yes, I use tap water for cooking.
Now, a lot of people have a water server in their house.
It's not really common to use tap water.
But buying a water server at a house is not a traditional custom.
At the beginning, modern people had a lot of resources.
Even tap water became a brand and became valuable.
09:03
At first, I didn't understand why people had to pay so much money for tap water.
But it's getting normal.
Now, I understand why people want to buy something that tastes like tea.
At first, I thought it was American culture to buy bottled water.
I see.
Everyone in America buys bottled water.
There was a stereotype that people in America couldn't drink tap water because they were afraid of it.
It's the same in Okinawa.
It depends on the place.
But I think people in tap water should be advertised more.
It's safer.
Educate people.
It's safer than bottled water sometimes.
If it's so, we can save money.
Not buying water.
That's true.
We researched about the water situation in the world on YouTube.
It says that 96% of fresh water is seawater.
It's not drinkable because the salt percentage is really high.
It's not good for your health and body.
So, we can only use and drink fresh water.
What's the percentage of fresh water?
0.01%.
On the earth?
Yes.
7 billion people share the world's fresh water.
We already consumed 50 to 60% of it.
On the planet?
Yes.
So, it's getting dried.
I see.
70% of fresh water is agriculture.
22% is industry.
8% is human life.
If it makes it more easier,
140 liters of water for a cup of coffee,
14,400 liters of water for 1 kg of beef,
24,000 liters of water for 1 kg of chocolate,
39,090 liters of water for a new car,
1 in 8 people can't access safe water in the world.
That's a serious problem.
If you think about the water issue,
the easiest way to come to our mind is drinkable water.
12:05
But we use so much water to produce meat, car, iPhone,
everything we see right now.
It's terrible.
We can't only think about drinkable water.
Bathing and washing.
Every single day, we use a lot of water.
And in the article, it says,
Japan has rivers and it rains,
so it's blessed with water more than other countries.
But in Japan, it will be a water crisis in 10 years.
So, we need to know this.
Yeah.
I think it's because of the land.
There's a lot of water, so we need to use a lot of water.
Bathing?
Bathing and taking a shower every day is normal.
Yeah.
Some people say Japanese people are too clean.
And washing machines are part of the household.
The apparel industry is the second largest in the world.
T-shirts can hold thousands of liters of water.
If you think about that...
Why don't you use seawater?
If we use seawater, it would be a problem.
We should use seawater to drink.
We're not experts in water.
If we were told to use seawater,
we'd be like, let's filter out all the seawater.
But if we could do that, it wouldn't be a problem.
That's a good idea.
I know, like a kaiyoshinsusui thing.
It's like, we use seawater and make it drinkable,
but I think it's deep down in the ocean.
I think the percentage of the salt is different.
Thinking about that, I searched about the ocean water.
I looked up why we can't drink it as fresh water.
The percentage of salt in the ocean is about 0.3%.
The percentage of salt in the ocean is about 3.6%.
If you drink seawater, your liver can't function properly.
You can't urinate.
You're going to die.
You're going to dry it out.
You need more water.
But I was talking about loka seawater, no?
Can we use loka seawater to make fresh water?
I don't know.
15:01
What's kaiyoshinsusui?
Kaiyoshinsusui is in the underground.
Oh, I see.
It's like a wakimizu, isn't it?
If we could solve that, it wouldn't be a problem.
Kaiyoshinsusui is good for the skin.
It's also good for drinking.
There are a lot of them in Okinawa.
I don't like the taste of kaiyoshinsusui.
Why?
It's a little bit soft.
It tastes a little bit like the ocean.
It's soft, but...
It's just your imagination, isn't it?
No, no.
It tastes like kaiyoshinsusui.
But I really don't drink kaiyoshinsusui.
I used to have a kaiyoshinsusui machine in my house.
But I couldn't use it for a while.
Maybe it's because of the weather.
I feel like I'm going to change my house more and more.
It's like a village house.
I think I'm going to change my water machine every five years.
There are a lot of kaiyoshinsusui machines in my house.
There's a kaiyoshinsusui machine with a perfume and a pink package.
That's what models drink, right?
That doesn't taste good at all.
It doesn't taste good, but it's high in magnesium.
That's what models drink, right?
Is that so?
The Europeans.
I think Japanese people like soft water.
Not the hard one.
But I think Evian is a perfume that you can easily buy at a convenience store.
Is that so?
You know that pink Soltex, right?
Isn't that only sold at Natural Lawson?
Is that so?
Isn't it not sold at supermarkets?
What made the difference between kousui and nansui?
I thought like a percentage of magnesium inside the water.
I think that's what makes...
There's no such thing as making nansui into kousui.
They're both drinkable water, so there's no need for that.
I see.
They say that kousui is more nutritious.
I'm not a professional, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
I think there are people who choose water because they know that it's easy to drink and that it's nutritious.
So they put some wood in the house.
So the water issue is...
I don't know what's going on with drinking water as a whole.
But it doesn't matter at all.
Shower water.
Yeah.
In mainland Japan, shower water is better for skin than Okinawan.
18:02
Yeah, I feel it. I mean, I experienced it.
My hair condition is really different.
If Okinawan water is hard, it's not like a pink bottle.
I don't think so.
I think the water from Okinawa is really expensive.
There's a lot of white mold in Okinawa.
So I recommend changing the shower head.
That's true.
I'm really scared of the water in the shower.
So why is the water in Okinawa so bad?
I mean, is it bad?
The water in Japan is mainly southern water.
But Okinawa is made of coral.
The ground layer is made by the Ryukyu Strait.
So the altitude is the highest in Japan.
The water in Japan is 50mg per litre.
The water in Okinawa is 84mg per litre.
The world standard is 120mg per litre.
So the water in Okinawa is higher than the water in Japan.
It depends on the area.
The area where spring water is mixed with groundwater is higher.
The water in Okinawa is 208mg per litre.
Isn't it too much?
The water in Okinawa is 120mg per litre.
The water in Okinawa is 208mg per litre.
The water in Okinawa is 180mg per litre.
So the water is too high in altitude.
The water in Okinawa is 34mg per litre.
It's very soft.
There's a lot of news about the water in Okinawa.
Maybe the reason Akane called us is because of the spring water.
It's different from the seawater pollution.
Oh my god. Water everywhere.
The water in Okinawa has a lot of calcium.
I think so too.
Calcium is the cause of the triglycerides.
The water in Okinawa has a lot of PFOS.
The water in Okinawa has a lot of fluorine.
What?
Fluorine?
Fluorine is a chemical in the frying pan.
Sounds like so chemical.
The damage to the hair and skin.
It's a famous story.
There are a lot of people with damaged hair and skin in Okinawa.
21:02
The seawater is alkaline.
So it's a big burden on the skin.
The seawater can cause blood clots in the urethra.
Urethra?
Urethra?
Yes, urethra.
There are a lot of people who drink tap water.
They often get urethra.
I recommend a shower head.
Right?
The new cup gets white as you wash it.
I see.
The humidifier gets white.
The kitchen gets white.
Oh my gosh.
That's so dangerous.
I mean, it's not healthy.
I didn't think about the humidifier.
The humidifier is better with tap water.
Yes.
And...
The tap water supplier is working hard to make it 100mg.
If you are worried about the safety of tap water, you should use a water server.
I've been worried about Okinawa water recently.
It doesn't matter if I drink or not.
I use a lot of water to wash dishes or wash my body.
Your skin is sensitive.
You'd better use a shower head.
I have a shower head.
But the new shower head is too hard.
So I haven't used it yet.
But with this sink...
If I wash the dishes every day, they get dirty.
I'm more worried about the white stain than when I lived in Tokyo.
I see.
If I wash the dishes every day, they get dirty.
But I didn't think about the humidifier.
I see.
The humidifier becomes a part of your skin.
Yes.
It doesn't turn into hot water.
What?
When I was in Tokyo, my skin got better.
I see.
I thought it was because of the temperature.
But when I think about it, Okinawa is more humid than Tokyo.
So my skin should be moist.
I don't know.
When you get sick, you don't pay attention to water.
Except for people you know.
If you think about it, you bathe in water a lot.
Yes.
It's like...
It's like...
How can I say?
It's a contradiction.
I saw the news about Volvic.
24:02
You better drink tap water because the tap water in the world is drying out.
But when it comes to Okinawa, it's not really healthy water.
So you shouldn't drink tap water.
So what should we do?
I think tap water depends on the prefecture.
In beautiful places, like Wakayama or Tohoku prefecture,
there are some prefectures where tap water is used for tea.
In beautiful places.
So depending on the prefecture you grew up in,
the perception of tap water is really different.
But...
Basically...
It's better to be in a world where you don't have to use tap water for anything.
It's a different angle from the lack of water in the world.
But...
The water business...
It's really...
It's all about branding. It's like a cosmetic.
Most of the cosmetics are made of water.
Chanel and Dior are expensive because of the brand price.
I think water is similar.
A lot of celebrities are producing their water.
To make money.
I don't mind, but...
I think it's important to consume tap water in a place close to the prefecture.
The water version of Chisan Chisho.
If you want to buy bottled water,
but if there is Okinawan water bottle,
you should buy it.
It's cheaper, right?
It's supposed to be cheaper.
Okinawan water is the cheapest.
For me, the cheapest water seems not safe or not clean.
So I'd better buy an expensive one.
But maybe...
You need to know the system and situation.
Why is it cheap?
27:00
Because...
It doesn't cost transportation.
So you need to understand that it's cheap.
I don't know the quality of the water.
Maybe your brain is brainwashed.
But...
Okinawan company or Japanese company should improve their design.
Techniques or creative.
It should be like a blue package.
It's totally different.
Japanese companies should spend more money on creativity and design.
They always say like,
If you change the package, it's over.
Because the taste is not really different.
Like other juices.
So you need to know more about the package, commercial, and production process.
You know the water in Hawaii.
Is it Fuji? Fiji?
I always think that we should make Okinawan water like that.
It's cute.
But it's hard type.
If we want to produce water bottle.
Is it the one in restaurant?
I think so.
It's like a aquarium in the back.
The one with hard package.
The package should be soft.
With beautiful water in the back.
And improve the design.
But it costs a lot.
Well, well, well.
But if you do it in Japan.
Japanese people should drink it.
And it doesn't cost transportation fee.
It's cheaper but more cool design.
And attractive.
But if foreigners want it in America.
It's the same thing.
The same thing happened in the Olympics.
A lot of people in Japan love French culture.
But at the end of the day, it's already a punishment.
I don't want to avoid it.
That's the biggest problem.
It's just water itself.
Then I can't buy fast fashion clothes.
It's a big problem.
If you go to H&M.
H&M is a sustainable brand.
30:02
And you can see the tag.
I don't know what it means.
I'm talking about water now.
But if it's about energy other than water.
It's going to be complicated.
I don't know.
I think there are too many clothes.
The quantity.
Or maybe we should improve the repair culture.
We should improve the old clothes.
Right.
You can do cool branding.
But people like it now.
Like SDGs.
So I think it's going to be popular.
Old clothes?
Old clothes.
A lot of my American friends buy old clothes.
They're buying second-hand clothes.
Because it's one of a kind.
And unique.
Of course, some people buy eco-friendly clothes.
But that comes first.
If it's not cool, it's meaningless.
There are people who can consume clothes with environmental awareness.
But I can't do that.
If it's not cute, it's meaningless.
And I'm sorry, but I don't like old clothes.
The smell.
Do you like new clothes?
If it doesn't smell, I don't mind.
I have a few old clothes.
But I'm not choosing second-hand all the time.
You also like to buy new style all the time.
If I want to look for a vintage T-shirt, I look for old clothes.
But is it a bad thing?
I buy very expensive clothes.
And I wear the same clothes all the time.
It's a good thing.
It's sustainable.
I don't know how good it is anymore.
There are some rules.
You can do whatever you want.
But you have to consider the environment.
Can I save water where it's not about clothes?
It's not saving.
It's knowledge.
First of all, you need to know the information.
And knowledge.
And situation.
We have too much water already.
33:06
The second step is to do what you can do.
Without stress.
Why did you start swapping clothes?
Clothing swap?
First, tell everybody about clothes swapping.
What is it?
Clothing swap is...
You collect the old clothes.
And you hand it to other people who need the clothes for free.
Then we can cycle this.
Good.
What is this?
Energy. Good. Positive.
No waste.
Eco-friendly.
In Japanese, clothing swap is...
It's a Western culture.
You don't need clothes anymore.
You can sell them.
You give them to people who are in the same organization.
And you give them to people who want them.
Adults have a clear preference.
When it comes to the kids, they grow up really fast.
And then they make their clothes really dirty at school.
They size out early.
And they don't care about the fashion yet.
So it's saving money.
And also doing something good for the environment.
You can do good things for both.
We have a lifestyle community.
One of us is a mom.
She said she wanted to do it for the kids.
We did a lot of research.
The good thing is...
You can have a good communication.
You can have a good connection.
You can have a good connection with people who care about what you use.
You can have happy vibes.
Happy vibes only.
That's true.
Kids are getting bigger.
It doesn't have to be only clothes.
You can do books.
Any kind.
If you want.
36:01
When you go to a clothing store, it costs money.
So you choose them really carefully.
You care about the design, cost, trends and everything.
But if it's free, you really don't have to think about it.
Just take it as much as you want.
You can try another style sometimes.
Mimic somebody's fashion.
That's one of the fun things.
You don't usually wear flashy clothes.
But it's free.
You can try it on.
You can choose a flashy shirt.
We also accept clothing from the company.
It's new.
Brand new.
But it can't be in the market.
Then we take it.
People like that thing too.
That's what we do.
If we have left,
then we're going to give away to some...
Women's home...
What?
Women's home facilities.
We're going to give them away.
They'll be happy.
It's fun to do.
Saving.
Saving money.
Everything.
Make connections.
Do something good for the environment.
And people.
And...
What?
Jinkoman as well.
That's good.
You can be happy.
Yeah.
You have too many clothes.
Do you have this many?
I was talking about tap water.
So I looked it up.
There are countries where you can drink tap water and where you can't.
I heard that tap water is good in Europe.
Because they have good infrastructure.
France is like that too.
The best is Iceland.
I want to go to Iceland.
In Europe, there are people who don't use hand sanitizers.
It's good for you.
It's a luxury.
Second is Australia.
The tap water comes from the Alps.
39:01
Third is Sweden.
It's high quality.
It's safe enough for the locals to carry around.
It's good to have something in Europe.
Everything is well-organized.
I think it's because of the geographic aspect.
Yeah.
Because there are mountains.
Iceland? Ireland?
From the name, it sounds good.
There are countries where you can drink tap water.
Singapore, America.
Spain, Greece, France, Belgium, Holland.
But you can't drink it as it is.
Japan is included.
It's dirty.
The Arab Emirates.
South Africa.
Mozambique.
It's connected to the land and the economy.
And the government spends a lot of money on water.
That's it.
There are no countries where you can drink tap water in South Africa.
I see.
It's hard to get food.
In Brazil, you have to pay for the washlet.
Yeah.
I didn't know there was a washlet.
Yeah.
Toilets are fine in Japan.
Yeah.
The washlet water has to be clean.
Because it touches the body.
Japanese people have a weak stomach.
So it's different depending on how you build your body.
I see.
I thought people with a weak stomach were weak because they drink clean water.
It's different.
The body is different.
The body is different.
But it depends on whether you're used to the local water or not.
So deep.
Every water looks the same.
It's natural.
Yeah.
That's why people don't know.
If you have a water quality survey kit, you can find out.
Yeah.
It's like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
You can find water for brushing your teeth in Southeast Asia.
What?
Overseas.
Yeah.
There's bacteria in the water.
Yeah.
But when you take a bath, the water gets into your mouth.
Yeah.
I used to hold my breath when I took a bath.
Or you can make it hot to death.
It's hot water.
It doesn't matter.
42:00
You won't die if it's 40 degrees.
Yeah.
That's scary.
Yeah.
You can get food poisoning from ice.
Because you don't have a stomach.
I was hospitalized in Vietnam.
Really?
With water?
In Vietnam.
Yeah.
You drank the water from...
I don't know the...
What?
Where it came from.
Yeah.
Where it came from.
But we went to the bar in Vietnam.
And they drank the beer from the bottle.
I'm the only one to get the cocktail.
So they used ice.
Probably.
They used ice from a dirty one.
I don't know.
After that day, I got sick.
I got a fever.
But I had to go on a flight the next day.
So I had to go to the hospital.
It says American hospital, but they don't speak English.
So it's really hard to communicate with them.
They did all the rent-a-gain and everything.
And I got better.
But you're not the only one who got sick.
Yeah.
And also they have strong medicines for that.
Oh, so you're normal.
You're a normal person.
Yeah.
So I went to the drugstore.
There were a lot of drugs that you can't get in Japanese hospitals.
And they gave me...
What was it?
They gave me pills, but they didn't stop me from vomiting.
It's a detailed reason.
Really?
Yeah.
It tastes so weird.
And then the color is like pink or blue.
It's a crazy color.
So it works really well.
It seems to work.
I got like eight different medicines from the hospital.
And then they explained about it.
It was in Vietnamese, so I didn't understand it at all.
So I drank it in Thai.
But I really got better.
You know, in Japan, you can get constipation.
But in Vietnam, they give you the medicine to get rid of the toxins.
But it stops the water.
It's a detailed reason.
It was amazing.
I love it.
Was the bar like a ghetto?
It's like a pub street.
Many tourists come there.
45:01
But it's the same everywhere.
We didn't go to the fancy hotels, but we went to the locals.
I went to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
I went to Ho Chi Minh City, too.
I don't know if I had a strong stomach or not, but I went to a bar.
It depends on the person and the place.
Maybe I got the bad luck.
It's a good memory.
And you know more about the Vietnamese issue.
I forgot.
What?
When I think about the water issue, I think about the size of the earth.
The earth is unstable now.
When I talk about the earth, I'm worried about a lot of things.
I can't stop thinking about it.
You don't have to worry about it.
But if you're curious enough, you can think about it.
I was in Tokyo three weeks ago.
I had a pretty big earthquake at my friend's house.
You and I got used to the earthquake in Tokyo.
I think that was one of the biggest earthquakes that I had in Tokyo.
The world is like this.
I feel like, so what's next?
We went through COVID.
I read the news about the big earthquake that will come to Okinawa in 30 years.
I was like, what?
When I think about the earthquake that will come to the mainland,
it's like Okinawa, surrounded by the ocean.
It's the same in Japan, but in Okinawa, it's on a smaller scale.
I'm afraid to die.
I don't know how many levels or what area will be covered.
Your home is safe.
Because I live in a higher place, right?
Everyone should live in Shuri.
I don't know.
You don't have to go to Shuri.
48:01
Yonabaru is on the ocean side.
My house is on the ocean side.
If you go inside, it's okay.
People tend to live near the ocean in Okinawa.
People from mainland Japan, right?
They need to think about it.
It's okay to live there,
but when the earthquake and strong tsunami comes to Okinawa,
what are you going to do?
Where should you go?
What do you have at home?
If the grocery store stops opening,
where can you get food, drinks, and everything to live?
When it comes to earthquake,
the mainland Japanese is more well-known about the Hinnan thing.
I read a lot about the 3.11 earthquake.
There are areas where the earthquake happens every 10 to 15 minutes,
but there were a lot of people who didn't evacuate.
It's okay.
There's no way it's going to come this far.
I don't know if it's going to happen while I'm alive.
I thought it might happen to me too.
You got too used to it.
It depends on you.
It's up to you how you evacuate.
Don't do that.
It's not necessary things to do.
We need to have a system in Shichoso.
When you move to Mihyo,
you need to take a seminar about this as a driver's license.
The government should provide us all the evacuation kits,
maps, and everything.
It's more serious than COVID.
I don't want to die because of that thing.
I agree.
We all do evacuation training as long as we don't get angry.
So it's not that dangerous.
But if you ask me if I was doing it because I was worried,
I'd say I was just tired.
But it's good to know that every time you move.
It depends on how big the area is.
You can find hazard maps on the internet, but people don't look at them.
51:03
It depends on where you can evacuate.
For typhoons...
The military has a typhoon level 7.
There are a lot of typhoons.
There are specific actions for each typhoon.
Typhoons are either a typhoon, a typhoon, or a school holiday.
It's not stupid.
I think so.
You need to know more about the typhoon.
You can change your actions at each stage.
You can't just go and get it yourself.
By the way,
I went to an on-base this weekend.
They stopped the wearing mask policy.
Because everybody is vaccinated.
But it doesn't matter.
Everybody can enter.
It's optional.
If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask.
But it's not an obligation.
Why did that happen?
I don't know.
Was it scientifically proven?
What?
That you don't have to wear a mask.
I think it was a government policy.
I don't know if it's the same in the U.S.
I think it's better to do it like that in Japan.
But the governor of Okinawa complained.
I don't know what's right.
By the way, I can say this.
I think it's good to make it optional.
That's all.
Why do you think like that?
Because we don't have a choice now.
If I don't wear a mask, I'm kind of a negative thing.
But do I get to choose to wear or not?
If you make it optional,
There are a lot of people who get sick by wearing a mask.
If you make it optional, you can have a reason.
For example, if you tell everyone to wear a mask,
You don't even have room for change.
You can just look at it with a bad eye.
You might feel bad about it.
You don't even have a chance to think about it.
I think it's good to make it optional.
That's all.
That's right.
The rules in Japan are very vague.
It's just a social pressure.
Because Japan is crazy.
Wait a minute.
If I don't wear a mask, it's not a crime.
54:02
But people look at me in a weird way.
You're a criminal.
That's why Japanese people care about people's eyes.
You don't have to think about it.
If that's the case, everyone's gonna be so down.
Joan?
I totally agree with you.
To have an option, right?
You should have a right.
And then people maybe shut up about it.
I'm sorry.
But everyone feels refreshed.
It's hard just to climb the stairs.
It's hard to put on makeup.
And my face is always swollen.
I have to wear a mask.
It costs.
I have a different disease.
But we're lucky.
When we work, we don't have to wear a mask.
That's right.
I work alone.
We're surrounded by people who don't care about masks.
Usually.
That's right.
But department stores and customers have to wear masks for most of the day.
When you take off the mask, you feel like you're naked.
That's right.
I think it happens to children.
It's been a COVID culture since I was born.
I look prettier without a mask.
I want to take it off.
100%
Yeah.
Or you need to wear a skeleton mask.
Yeah.
Energy-wise, it's getting messed up.
You know what I mean, right?
Let's do whatever we want.
But as much as I do ESS radio, the more I do radio, the more I know more information.
And then I'm getting wiser to live in this crazy world.
57:05
You're so funny.
I think that's the most important first step.
Take a basic step.
Yeah.
Everybody says all the different things that you can trust anybody you want.
But if you don't agree with it, you should research until you are certain about it.
I think some people think to dig in information or hear about a lot of information makes you worry or anxiety more.
But that's wrong.
Because it's not enough.
To me, it's like if I know more about things, that makes me calm.
That makes me relax.
So you know the fact.
I don't know what the fact is anymore.
What's the difference?
I think there's a lot of information that makes you feel anxious.
But I think the source of the difference is that the more you know, the less you feel anxious.
There are times when you think deeply about what you know.
But that's processing.
And after that, it's the land of peace.
So...
Like the other day, I told you about anxiety of the war coming to Okinawa.
I started researching about the war information.
Ukraine, China, Okinawa, America.
I'm not getting to the fact.
But I can understand the whole relationship.
Maybe you can get anxiety from that.
But you will know how to live in this world.
And how to manage your mental with it.
So in the end, I should live and be happy.
If you think in the biggest scale, like the universe or the country-wise level.
I think it's a little complicated.
1:00:02
But it's the same with the human relations at work.
Everyone has a bad relationship with everyone.
But if this person's personality is like this, it will be like this.
I think it's just that the scale is shrinking or getting bigger.
Because it's all done by humans.
If it's a group, the tendency will change.
But in the end, even if you look at it on a small scale, the same thing always happens.
If you think about it the same way,
These people are like this.
I grew up in this place, so I think like this.
I'm dating this person, so it's going to be like this.
I think it's similar to that.
The scale is getting bigger and bigger.
It's a mixture of economics, psychology, and so on.
But in the end, it's the same, isn't it?
That's right.
It's a very difficult question.
I think they already did some, I guess.
They should speak out more than COVID information.
I think there are too many issues right now.
So, in order to earn the number of PVs of various media,
It's a thing that deals with innocent stories.
There are so many problems.
Well, just know as much as you can.
If you get a chance to talk to people about it, you can talk about it.
But I don't care at all.
I think it's a good thing to live super happily and spread happy aura and energy.
Either way.
We don't need to be depressed about anything.
It's just...
I don't know.
Well, that's true.
There's something we all have to do in front of us while studying.
That's to sleep, eat, and have fun.
Because you are the universe.
Everybody has their universe inside them.
1:03:05
If I talk about the universe, I'll talk about COVID again.
Anyway, I'm not talking about the whole earth.
It's just that the scale is different.
We're all connected.
Everything is connected at the cellular level.
It's the worst.
Let's do it again.
Today, I talked about the water shortage in Bolvik, France.
I talked about the water situation in the world, the water situation in Japan, and the water situation in Okinawa.
Water is very precious.
Rather than drinking it from other countries, I want to use it carefully at a low cost.
I learned for the first time that water is used a lot in various industries and agriculture.
First of all, I thought it was important to know.
We talked about several other things as well.
For example, the earthquake that came to Okinawa 30 years ago.
You should be prepared for it.
And then we talked about the war situation and how to manage your mental.
We talked about how to get information, control your emotions, and make your life better.
The water problem was too big, so I jumped into a lot of things.
But consciousness changes.
Even the taste of water changes.
You start to think about how to buy it.
You start to think about where this water comes from.
If you guys live in Okinawa, I recommend Showerhead.
I feel grateful for what is natural and what is not natural.
I feel like it leads to everyday life.
Can I say something that has nothing to do with what you said?
When you think about water, food, house, and work, you sometimes fantasize about history.
1:06:02
There was no such thing as water coming out of a tap.
There was no such thing as an airplane flying.
When there was no such thing, I fantasized about the Edo period.
I think everything is amazing.
It's so convenient that it's scary.
If you think about it, all tastes are double better.
I talked about it earlier.
What?
As we become more and more capitalist, we will eventually lose humans.
That's right.
I don't know if everyone will start self-sufficiency.
I don't know if the rich will make us all farmers.
When I think about that, I decided to value what I have.
I decided to value what I have.
That's all for today.
Yay.
Bye.
Bye bye.
