From Björk to Kyary, festival season has arrived
Summer means a lot of things in Japan: stifling heat and humidity, fireworks and the Bon holidays, nagashi-sōmen noodles and chilled barley tea.

Summer music festivals are an institution in Japan, and when you're hibernating six months from now, it'll be the memories of the season's highlights that will warm you up as much as any kotatsu.

Too much time with classmates
Sadly, as always, we find the issue of bullying high on the agenda, but little is actually being done. Having worked in the public junior high school system for a number of years, I have observed a recurring problem: Adolescents forced together for seven hours a day in class, and then forced together again for another two hours a day in club activities, naturally become fractious. We all know how families quarrel during holiday periods; it's not that we dislike each other, but we just don't want to spend so much time together.
