What if you can be the judge? 
What if we can convict criminals who committed a crime and avoided it like a weasel?
What if we made real criminals go to jail based on false proof?
This show will lead you to a world that has no sorrow and no tears anymore. 
But… what is this feeling?

In the business world, active listening goes beyond simply hearing information. It's a strategic communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and improves collaboration. It involves giving your full attention to a speaker, both verbally and nonverbally, to grasp the complete message. This includes:

Paying close attention: Minimize distractions, maintain eye contact, and avoid formulating counter-arguments while someone speaks.
Understanding nonverbal cues: Notice body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions to glean underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.
Asking clarifying questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.
Paraphrasing and summarizing: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness.
Empathy and emotional intelligence: Acknowledge the speaker's feelings and tailor your responses to create a safe space for open communication.
Active listening benefits businesses in numerous ways:

Stronger client relationships: By truly understanding client needs, businesses can provide more relevant solutions and build lasting partnerships.
Enhanced negotiation and sales: Active listening allows salespeople to tailor pitches and identify client concerns for successful deal-closing.
Improved team dynamics: Active listening fosters collaboration by ensuring everyone feels heard and valued, leading to better problem-solving and decision-making.
Reduced conflict: By giving speakers their due attention and clarifying positions, misunderstandings and conflicts are minimized.
Increased productivity: Active listening avoids wasted time due to miscommunication and ensures everyone is working towards the same goals.
By actively listening, businesses create a communication culture that fosters trust, collaboration, and ultimately, success.

Давайте восклицать

Давайте восклицать, друг другом восхищаться.
Высокопарных слов не стоит опасаться.
Давайте говорить друг другу комплименты —
ведь это все любви счастливые моменты.
Давайте горевать и плакать откровенно
то вместе, то поврозь, а то попеременно.
Не нужно придавать значения злословью —
поскольку грусть всегда соседствует с любовью.
Давайте понимать друг друга с полуслова,
чтоб, ошибившись раз, не ошибиться снова.
Давайте жить, во всем друг другу потакая, —
тем более что жизнь короткая такая.

日本にはたくさんのキャラクターがいますね。
一般的なディズニーやサンリオなどのキャラからご当地キャラ、アニメキャラなどなど。。。面白いキャラ、かっこいいキャラ、可愛いキャラ、、、枚挙にいとまがありません。
（こちらのウェブサイトでご当地キャラ図鑑を見ることができます。各キャラクターのプロフィールを読むのも勉強になりますよ！好きなキャラクターを見つけてみてね！）


その中で、私が数年前からハマっているキャラがこちら！Mofusandというキャラです。
私のレッスンを受けた方は私の部屋の飾りやグッズを見たことがあるかもしれません。家族は私がこのキャラの大ファンだということを知っているので出先でこのキャラを見つけるとお土産に買ってきてくれることが多々あるんです。そういうわけで私はたくさんグッズを持っています。今日は一部を紹介します。

キャラクターグッズを買ったり、見たりしたい人におすすめなのが東京駅にあるキャラクターストリートです。ここにはポケモンセンターやリラックマ、ウルトラマン、クレヨンしんちゃんなどなどたくさんのキャラクターのお店がありますよ。お土産としてキャラクターグッズを買って帰るのも喜ばれると思います。

みなさんの好きなキャラクターは何ですか？
日本人の私でもまだまだ知らないキャラクターがたくさんあるので是非教えてくださいね！
