Kohei: Oh, bread. I always eat rice, miso soup, seaweed and grilled salmon.
Yuki: Wow, That’s typical of the Japanese breakfast.
In addition, I want to eat natto and tofu.
Kohei: I understand. But, I think that some people don’t like natto’s smell.
In particular, foreign people don’t like natto.
So they eat sushi so much. But Nattomaki isn’t eaten by them.
Yuki: Yeah also that. But Japanese food is well-known to be healthy.
Japanese often eat seaweed and fish, so they have healthy body.
Kohei: Yeah. You know about Japanese food. Do you study it in university class?
Yuki: Yes, I’m studying at the “Food culture theory of Kyoto” .
Kohei: I see. Is there any food that has been eaten for a long time or something?
Yuki: Hmm. For example, Somen has been eaten for 600 year .
So, it is from the Muromachi age.
Kohei: Wow! It’s a long time so much!
I don’t know about somen .
Old Japanese food is green tea and kaiseki cuisine, I thought.
Yuki: That’s right. Kyoto is famous for green tea from Uji.
I will study about that. I will walk and eat the food of Kyoto.
Do you want to come with me?

Yuki: OK. Let’s go together.

Episode 108 - Baseball Talk: MLB or NPB
A This is KSU student podcast. My name is Ryo and this is Ryohei. Recently, Ichiro is active in MLB games.
B Sorry, of course, I know Ichiro, but I don't have much information about the MLB.
A Really? MLB games are powerful, so it is so fun.
B MLB and Nihon Professional Baseball league the same?
A There are many differences. First, there is a difference in allocation of foreign players.
B NPB teams have a few foreign players.
A Yes, first team foreign registration has been determined up to four people in NPB rules. In comparison, it has been determined up to 25% of the player in the MLB can be foreign. So, talented players can play an active role, regardless of their nationality.
B Humm, It is America's melting pot.
A Also, MLB's baseball park has some characteristics.
B In Japan, there is a typical ball park size.
A Japanese ball parks are usually symmetrical in shape. But American ball parks have individual forms. For example, some ball parks are built near the sea. If a player hits a homerun, the ball falls in the sea.
Similarly some ball parks grow grass in front of the outfield fence. So players lose sight of ball sometimes.
B It seems like an amusement park.
A Baseball games aren't broadcasted a lot in Japan. I recommend that you see MLB game on TV
That's all for today. Thanks for listening.

Y: Shut up! This is one of the most popular events all over the Japan.

Y: Ok.
S: First, to play tennis we only need 2 people. How many people are necessary to play baseball?
Y: A baseball game needs 9 people for every team. 2 people are very lonely.

Y: Hmm...That's right. So, next, baseball uses a hard ball. It's white and looks like a rock. What kind of ball is used in tennis?
S: Tennis uses a yellow, hard rubber ball. White balls are not interesting.
Y: Yellow ball is so shiny. I don't want to look at it.
