Movies and Movie-stars

When I was young, I used to go movies very often.

One of my favorite movies is Otokowatsuraiyo. (Torasan/Actor: Atsumi Kiyoshi)

Torasan movies’ were interesting and warm hearted home dramas based on a downtown in Tokyo. A kind of eccentric man, Torasan often made troubles with his family or neighbors.

After that he usually left his hometown and traveled and stayed local towns far from his home.

His job was a street vender talking with customers friendly.

Everywhere he visited, he easily fell in love with beautiful young ladies, however he never said to them “I love you.”

We sometimes sympathize Torasan’s passion and behavior.

Film director, Mr. Yamada made 50 Torasan drama series so far.

When we say Atumi Kiyoshi, we remind Torasan movies.

I can not forget nationwide hit dramas, Torasan.

by Takeo Kuchinaka

Hello Dear ESS members.

This is Shigeo HORI, from Kashiba City and I'd like to inform you the latter part of the corner of October 23rd.
And this is the 3rd time information of this practice, because of the Coronavirus problems.

1. Date: October 23rd, 2021.
2. Genre: Discussion.
3. Title: Sports Club Mentality
4. Description:
Some of you have experiences in sports club activities in your school days. They say the relationships among them, especially between seniors and juniors, are informally and strictly coded,
what we call “Taiikukai-kei Mentality.”
This kind of mentality survived into the business world or elsewhere. But if this type of mentality spread into the company’s core identity, what will happen?

On Oct. 23rd, I’d like you all to discuss this kind of mentality not only in sport club or business world, but also in every sphere of our daily life.

5. Procedure
a. Presentation form Hori on this topic.
b. Make several groups.
c. Read the materials and discuss the topic.
d. The leader of each group will show us the results of the discussion.

Thank you.
