oh my god the cicada sounds are brutal! I didn't realise how intense they were because I am hearing them all day non stop 😅 apologies for the sound!!

@moda78z 2 года назад

I hardly notice it because I’m listening to you. Didn’t bother me at all 👍

@Lake3015 2 года назад

The cicada sounds really just go with that Summer vibe. We have them where I live and they're just background noise to me. I'll take cicada sounds over someone with a loud engine announcing to the whole neighborhood they're driving a car 🤣

@annageiger7240 2 года назад

My sense of hearing is pretty good, according to my age, except from a few frequencies, at which I can hear barely nothing. Funny enough, on of them is the frequency, cicadas produce. I do not hear a single one of them. No joke.😂They don't bother me at all. 👍

@teruphoto 2 года назад

Not at all. In fact, I miss the sound of Japanese cicadas chirping in the Summer. Glad you're feeling better btw

@TopAnimeLoverEver 2 года назад

They are very very loud this year I notice. I know they ARE loud, but they feel like they're on steroids this year, here in Las Vegas and there in Japan from all the videos I've heard them in. I always liked cicadas sounds, but this year they're particularly deafening. It's a bit much.

I think in the USA that would mean that an awful lot of tax dollars coming from places like California and New York that usually go to places like Mississippi and Alabama would end up just staying in their states of origin... lol. The deep south would go bankrupt halfway through the year, they always spend more federal tax dollars than they contribute.

@ProtoMarcus Год назад

In Australia (and some other country I don't remember) they get a report of where your taxes has been invested, it is fantastic to see where the money goes. using that concept, it would be nice indeed to get to choose what % of your taxes you want to see your money going to

@julesdr1169 2 года назад

I can't believe I hadn't heard about this from other RU-vidrs in Japan, that sounds like such a good system! Taxes are distributed from more densely populated areas to more rural ones that may need it, government basically buys goods from all of those local businesses participating, and then the people participating get a fun incentive to pay early and get free gifts of their choice. And those free gifts aren't like cheap stuff either, all of them looked pretty fresh and high quality (that frying pan in particular looked quite nice plus the extra burger patties with the A5 Wagyu). You can even indicate what you want your taxes to go to, like if you know somewhere you've been needs it or have friends from elsewhere that tell you about it.

@carriepadgett2743 2 года назад

Emma's the only one paying her taxes it seems LOL

@waku3018 Год назад

It is called "hometown tax" If you pay at least 2000 yen per tax payment, you will receive a gift from the local government of your choice, and the variety and quality of the gift is popular among Japanese people. You can choose a gift from the list

This is the most genius thing I've ever seen. Making doing taxes fun, getting something in return and supporting small businesses AND chosing how tax money is spent all in one. So ingenious, I love it and we need this here.

@taiwanisacountry 2 года назад

I wish we had such as system here in Denmark. It seems to be a really great system. As long as the providers of the goods are actually fairly sourced so it is not a single farm that gets all the money from the Wagyu sales then it seems bloody amazing to me.

I had seen plenty of Japanese films which had the overwhelming sound of Cicadas in the background, but I just never thought of it as being real. One experience that really stands out is that I was wandering around the area south of the Imperial Palace and I came across Atago Shrine (very easy to find on Google Maps in the heart of Tokyo) and the wall of sound from the Cicadas in the trees was unbelievable.
