News in Easy English: Young man with Down syndrome uses English to welcome visitors at Expo 2025
WAKAYAMA -- Kenshi Nakanishi, 26, has Down syndrome. He is helping visitors from other countries in English at Expo 2025 in Osaka. At the Expo, Nakanishi smiles and waves his hand when he sees visitors from abroad. He answers their questions in English. He helps them find places at the big Expo. Learning English words is not easy for him, and takes a lot of time. But Kenshi has worked very hard for many years to speak English. He likes to practice pronunciation. When he was a junior high student, he started thinking, "I want to talk with visitors from other countries someday." Kenshi also entered an English speech contest in high school. He wanted to help people by using his English ability. In 2021, Kenshi wanted to help visitors at the Tokyo Olympics. But because of COVID-19, visitors could not come. Kenshi felt sad, but he decided to try again at the Osaka Expo. On his first day as an Expo volunteer on April 21, Kenshi saw many visitors were confused because there were not enough maps. So he studied the Expo map carefully and made his own easy-to-use map to help visitors. He feels very happy when visitors say "Arigato" (thank you) after he helps them. Sometimes, there are difficult questions. For example, one visitor asked him about "Kura Sushi," a famous sushi restaurant, but Kenshi heard "cooler" by mistake. But even when mistakes like these happen, Kenshi still works hard and keeps getting better. At first, he planned to volunteer five times during the Expo, which ends on Oct. 13. But Kenshi enjoys it so much that he now wants to help visitors 10 times. Kenshi's mother said, "When he was young, he was sick often and went to hospital many times. I'm very happy to see him become so active and full of energy." Kenshi said, "Now, I want to study more about what tourists like. Then I can talk with visitors more." (Japanese original by Rihi Anzai, Wakayama Bureau) Vocabulary Down syndrome: a health condition some people are born with, making learning and growth slower visitor: a person who comes to see a place or event abroad: other countries, not your own pronunciation: how you say words or sounds volunteer: a person who does helpful work without pay confused: when you don't understand something clearly

Omoinotake's Challenge: Creating the ED Theme Song for the Second Cour of "The Apothecary Diaries" Season 2 / Interview
By Tomoya Kashiwamura, Animate Times - 30 minutes ago - 18:31 | All We had the opportunity to speak with the three-piece band Omoinotake (Reo Fujii, Tomoaki Fukushima, and Hironoshin Tomita), who perform "Hitorigoto," the ending theme for the second cour of TV anime "The Apothecary Diaries" Season 2. They shared their thoughts on the appeal of the series and provided insights into the creation of "Hitorigoto." "The Apothecary Diaries" is a highly popular inner palace mystery entertainment, and is currently airing its second season, which began on January 10, 2025 (Japan Time). The story has entered a new phase, with Maomao's disappearance from the inner palace and the gradual revelation of another side to Shisui. As the plot reaches its climax, the reasons behind the unsettling atmosphere enveloping the inner palace are slowly coming to light. *Please note that this article contains spoilers up to the latest episode. Expressing the Duality of Characters Through Music ──Were you familiar with "The Apothecary Diaries"? Fukushima: Drage (Yonoshin Tomita) and I had read the manga, while Leo (Reo Fujii) learned about it after being approached for the role. I thought it had a unique world-setting, and I enjoyed how Maomao uses knowledge that modern people can relate to in solving mysteries. Tomita: It popped up as a recommendation in a manga app, which piqued my interest. The intricate foreshadowing is impressive. I think the appeal lies in the satisfying and eye-opening moments when you realize how everything connects. Fujii: I immersed myself in the work after receiving the offer. Given that it's set in the inner palace, I really liked the atmosphere where you can notice subtle emotional nuances within a very calm environment. Fukushima: I definitely paid attention to things like the impressive story structure while reading. In the TV anime, the director emphasized two main themes: "parent and child" and "life and death." These are timeless concepts that can move readers even today. I think it's the combination of these universal themes with human drama that makes it so captivating. ──I'd like to hear about the thoughts you put into the song "Hitorigoto" and its lyrics.
