Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent an offering of 50,000 yen for Yasukuni Shirine in an annual spring festival in last month. Then Abe became the first prime minister to make offering since Yasuhiro Nakasone.
About this action, chief cabinet secretary refrained from making comment. Also, he denied public money was used for Abe's offering.And within the government and ruling parties, there are various reaction. A party agree with offering, but another criticize it. Many people concern about diplomatic relation to China, Korea and other countries. And it is matter concerning the private capacity of Prime Minister.

This problem is difficult for me, but I think Prime Minister Abe should think. As a person, going to Yasukuni is good. But he is the head of Japan, if many people in other countries misunderstand, it is not good.
I don't know war, Yasukuni and history of aggression. So I can't show my position about this problem and should study these things.

The aim of the play is that audience come to know what challenges will be faced by lay judges by watching, thinking and deciding.

I think it is interesting. Many people may not know lay judge system in detail. So, waching the play and thinking about real cases is good chance for people. But I don't think the play is not practical. Because the play will not treat many cases, it is not limitless.

Aging Shinnkabuki-za theater to close, reopen in 2010
Aging Shinkabuki-za theater in Osaka is to close by the end of March 2010. At this theater, many kind of plays and other shows featuring enka singer or movie star were performed. The new theater will open in 2020 and host similar type of entertainment to the exsisting theater.
Sugi Ryotaro, who was main perfomer in the theater, said: I'm sentimental about the theater closing,but there is no choice as it's become too old. The Shinkabuki-za will be the Shinkabuki-za, where it is.

I am impressed Sugi's comment. Reading it, I feel what the theater is like for Osaka people or those who like plays.
First, I think the cause of the theater closing is that young people don't go to play, but actually, because of being decrepit. I think even this theater renew, it will be loved by many people from now on.
