Today, I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. When I walked around the store, I noticed a sign saying, “2027 is just around the corner!” I was surprised because I felt like this year had only just started. To make things even more surprising, the supermarket had already started taking reservations for osechi, the traditional Japanese New Year’s food. I couldn’t believe it. I thought, “There are still two months left in this year!” It feels strange to think that we are already preparing for the New Year when there is still plenty of time before the end of the year. Time really flies. Seeing the osechi advertisements made me realize that 2026 is coming to an end much faster than I expected.

recently in Japan, I often hear about cyberattacks, on the news. To be honest, I am afraid of AI development. because I guess AI is going to be smarter than human beings, and they will take our Jobs. In my opinion, development of AI is now so quick. AI will rule the world and people will follow what AI says. But we also benefit from it. For example, translation and searching, etc. and the most important thing is thinking. I think it is gonna be like calculator. People nowadays rely on it to calculate, so I guess people will start relying on AI to think.

I think American is easiest. Mainly due to its ubiquitous usage and its influence over media and internet.
