Hello everyone, I'm Mika, a Japanese teacher. I am currently waiting for the plane to arrive in Kansai Airport. I will go to China first. I will return to the plane to go to London in China. I am waiting for the plane, but I am late for 2 hours. While I was waiting for the plane, I was told by an Italian man, Anna-san. Anna-san seems to be going back to Italy with an internship in Kyoto. We spoke in Japanese. Anna-san has N3, so Japanese is good. But I was late for the plane, and I've been in the airport for a long time since yesterday. I seem to be very tired. Anna-san is praying to be able to return to Italy safely. Well, what was your theme for today? Are you students or employees who are listening to this? If you are a student who is listening to this, you may still want to become a student. I wanted to be a detective when I was a child. A detective is a person who solves cases. A famous detective in Japan is Ed O'Conan. A famous detective in England is Sherlock Holmes. In fact, there are times when I want to be a detective even now. I like to know the secret of people. When a murder or a bad incident occurred in Japan, why did that person do such a thing? I want to know the reason. I want to know the secret. Then I look like a good person. I don't know if I'm a good person, but I'm often seen by good people. Therefore, everyone can easily tell me the secret. I can easily find out the secret of everyone, so I think I can be a good detective. I'm joking. When I was a child, there was a manga called "Private Actress". The manga is about a woman named Shihou. Shihou's mother is a famous woman in Japan. Shihou is a genius of acting. Shihou knows the secret of various people. She gets a lot of people's support and plays various people. And she helps people. For example, I play the wife of a single man and get married. I admired Shihou. What should I do to become a detective in Japan? I asked the chat GPT. There is a detective office in Japan. To become a detective, I go to the office and interview. When I'm hired, I become a detective. The detective is an assistant. The detective works from morning to evening, so it's hard. I think I need strength. I'm busy and sometimes I can't go home. I actually watched a YouTube video of a detective. That person did a lot of work on the hook-up investigation. The hook-up investigation is, for example, I doubt that the wife and the husband are cheating. The detective takes pictures of the husband cheating. So I've been waiting in the car all the time. It's hard, isn't it? The Japanese detective work seems to have a lot of hook-up investigation. It's similar to Paparazzi, a journalist from Shukan City. Do you think the Japanese detective work is interesting? What did you want to be when you were a child? What did you want to be? Please let me know in the comments. See you next time. Bye bye.
