The strongest animal in the animal world ---Haruka Ikegami--

 Do you know about hippos? You guys maybe think hippos are gentle and calm animals. However, the fact is different. First, it is about 3 or 4 meters in their body length and their weight are 1.5t ~ 4t like elephants and rhinoceroses. Also, hippos can run at 40 kilometers per 1 hour and they can swim at 60 kilometers per 1 hour. Therefore, it is said that hippos are “the strongest animal in the animal world” or “the strongest creature on the earth”.

    I didn't know that. Hippos are too heavy for their body length! But it's fast! It's so mysterious and incredible.

A Sound That Affects Me -- Kazuki Hashimoto

    I really like  the sound of walking on snow which is pilled up. At first, I love the winter the most in four seasons. Also, I rarely saw snow in my hometown which is Fukuoka, in Japan. I don't remember surely, but I could see snow once a year or two years there because the place is relatively warmer than any places of Japan. Thus, I really used to enjoy walking on snow or having a snowball fight in a childhood whenever it snowed. That's why I love the sound.

The surprising origin of 'Hijack - Mika

Image
 "Hijack" refers to the act of unlawfully seizing control, often applied to situations involving transportation such as aircraft or vehicles. In the U.S., there used to be a trend where criminals, pretending to be acquaintances, would approach people and address them with the common American name 'Jack'. It means the origin of hijack from "Hi, Jack". I think it is similar to "OREORE scam", involves criminals impersonating relatives or friends, claiming to be in urgent need, and deceiving individuals into sending them money. The thoughts of a scammer are found to be universal across the world.
