The central goverment nonetheless has to ensure that the deploymant is carried out because of the security alliance with America. However this security is needed more than ever. Japan has many international problem, especially Senkakus problem is very serious problem. So we have no other choice to comply as much as possible with requests from America for our defenses.

This problrm is delicate and difficult. There still a lot of opponents about the deployment of Osprey in Okinawa because Osprey has not guaranteed that it is reliable yet, so the central government should debate deeply about Ospreys with opponents in Okinawa.

Self-introduction!
Hello, everyone! I would like to tell you about me. My name is Taeko. I am Yamaguchi Prefecture University student. I am from Hiroshima so I am living by myself now. Houseworks are very difficult for me but I enjoy them everyday. I am a member of the brass band club and enjoy practicing a trombone with my friends. I really like to talk with foreigners so I decided to choose the English course to improve my English skills. In this university, every teachers support all of students, and they give us chance to grow ourselves. If you enter this university, a wonderful life is in store for you!! :))

The Rolling Stones made a glorious return to the London stage Nov. 25 in the first of five concerts to mark the 50th anniversary of their debut as an American-oriented blues band.
【ローリングストーンズ、ロンドン公演で50周年を祝う】
25日、アメリカ志向のブルースバンドであるローリングストーンズがデビュー50周年記念公演の初回公演を行いロンドンのステージへ輝かしい帰還を果たした。
★Summary
They swaggered and strutted through a stellar 2 hour and half show at London's O2 Arena. Mick Jagger looked remarkably trim and fit, and was in top vocal form. It was first of five mega-shows to mark the passage of 50 years since the band first appeared in a small London pub. "It's amazing that we're still doing this, and it's amazing that you're still buying our records and coming to our show," Jagger said.
★Reflection
The ticket prices of this concert is $650 for a standard seat, but these tickets sold out for 7 minutes. Moreover, their song, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is used Japanese drama now. We find that Rolling Stones has still high popularity in all over the world.
