Yo! Everyone!みんな
Kon'nichiwa Minnasan!こんにちは皆さん!!! your Everybody's Sempai is here!
There were 3 months i made my first test article Light Novels vs Anime? (Sword Art Online) and due to a very busy work. i have less time to make these articles. but this is a special issue so please read and enjoy!
In Many Parts of Japan.almost everyone. whether young or old men or women. single or in relationship (*hue*) we were anticipating the incoming of one of the most anticipated and deeply rooted "customs" in next week. it was the "Hanami" (花見, lit. "flower viewing"
or in western world... the "Cherry-blossom viewing".
Throughout Japan, spring is the time for a custom known as hanami, or cherry blossom viewing, which involves passing the time under or near cherry blossom trees to appreciate their beauty while picnicking and enjoying sake. The mild temperatures just after winter has given way to spring make this the most comfortable season of the year. In Japan, there are a huge number of choice locations all around the country where hanami can be enjoyed.
Well many of the westerners were now familliar with the "Cherryblossom" (sakura) and of course the Tradition of Hanami is celebreated more than a millenia
The blossom forecast (桜前線 sakura-zensen?, literally cherry blossom front) is announced each year by the weather bureau, and is watched carefully by those planning hanami as the blossoms only last a week or two.
Rough Translation
The full bloom in Fukuoka on will be on 19th Saturday, and then also from the Kanto have been one after another bloom in the west of the region.
However, the through Monday around since the temperature is low (cold), for a few days at the chance of bloom is small, there will not be a point to be in full bloom.due to the Expected high temperature persists since Tuesday, it is expected to go become one after another in full bloom and full bloom in various locations.
Temperature to January to mid-November of last year is followed by a high state, became a record warm winter. Mild winter is hard cherry flower buds awaken from dormancy, it will be a factor that flowering is delayed...
On the other hand, also temperature after the end of a high number, there was a period of time has become considerably high temperature on March. For this reason, it is often expected the place to be earlier flowering than average year even taking into account the impact of the mild winter.
However, the delay of flowering by the mild winter, because the average year of temperature increases as high region, in the heart of the Pacific Ocean coast of the West, such as southern Kyushu, is likely there is also a place where flowering is slightly slow.
Northern Japan has a small influence of the warm winter, this order earlier also be some time expected high temperature trend, it is expected to be earlier flowering than average year.
In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhist influence, The transience of the blossoms, the exquisite beauty and volatility, has often been associated with mortality and graceful and readily acceptance of destiny and karma; for this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect.
In the Night... the yozakura (夜桜literally night sakura) people were eating, party all night round along with their friends and famiries and co workers. discussing about life. lovelifes etc. and of course it's also a perfect day for romantic proposals
Hanami Celebrations Outside Japan
From Wikipedia
Smaller hanami celebrations take place in Taiwan, South Korea Korea, the Philippines, and China.
In the United States, hanami has also become very popular. In 1912, Japan gave 3,000 sakura trees as a gift to the United States to celebrate the nations' friendship. These trees were planted in Washington, D.C., and another 3,800 trees were donated in 1965.These sakura trees continue to be a popular tourist attraction, and every year, the "National Cherry Blossom Festival" takes place when they bloom in early spring.
In Macon, Georgia, another cherry blossom festival called the "International Cherry Blossom Festival" is celebrated every spring. Macon is known as the "Cherry Blossom Capital of the World", because 300,000 sakura trees grow there.
In Brooklyn, New York, the "Annual Sakura Matsuri Cherry Blossom Festival" takes place in May, at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This festivity has been celebrated since 1981, and is one of the Garden's most famous attractions. Similar celebrations are also held in Philadelphia and other places through the United States.
Hanami is also celebrated in several European countries. For example, in Finland people gather to celebrate hanami in Helsinki at Roihuvuori. Local Japanese people and companies have donated 200 cherry trees which are all planted in Kirsikkapuisto. Those cherry trees usually bloom in mid-May.
In Rome, in Italy, the hanami is celebrated in the park of the Eur, where are a lot of cherry trees were donated by Japan in 1959.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
