All of us have to do our part to keep Singapore safe and get us to the new normal. The recent large clusters from the KTV lounges and Jurong Fishery Port remind us why we must all get vaccinated, especially our seniors who can get seriously ill if infected.

Chong Boon Market at Block 453A Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 is one of 12 markets with confirmed cases, probably linked to the Jurong Fishery Port. The market will be closed for two weeks till 1 August. Everyone working there will be tested and quarantined, to prevent further spread. All visitors to the market since 3 July should monitor your health closely, and see a doctor immediately if unwell.

I know this will inconvenience AMK residents, but please bear with us while we work through this. Also please help update senior residents who may not have heard the news.

The list of affected markets and food centres can be found in MOH’s latest press release (go.gov.sg/ceqc0k). If you went to a KTV lounge, Jurong Fishery Port or any of these places recently, please get yourself tested. Monitor your health, and remain in quarantine or stay home as instructed.

The most important way to keep ourselves safe is vaccinating everyone. We are on track to fully vaccinate 2/3 of our population by National Day. Meanwhile please keep up our regular habits of wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining safe distancing. This will slow down the spread of the virus, and help to bring outbreaks like the KTV and Jurong Fishery Port clusters under control. – LHL

何卒、宜しくお願い致します。

というわけで本題に入りたいのですが、今日は、「感情にまかせてクレームを入れて、自分の取り分を減らす人」というテーマでお話ししたいと思います。


具体例を交えてお話した方が伝わると思うので、その角度からお話したいのですが、僕も完全には追えていないので、正確な情報は公式からの発表を待っていただきたいのですが、毎年、年末に５日間連続で『天才万博』という音楽フェスをおこなっているんですね。

僕は、出演者ではなくて、お客さんとして、フェスの立ち上げ当初から皆勤賞です。

毎年『天才万博』用のスケジュールは絶対に空けておいて、とにかく、この日の為に１年間頑張っています。
勿論、今年も。



とにかく楽しい空間で、このフェスが面白いのは、「出演者で集客をしていない」という点。

毎年、ほとんどのお客さんが、誰が出演するかも知らずに会場に足を運んでいる。
つまり、「フェス自体」に、もっと具体的に言うと、あの空間にファンが付いているわけです。

唯一わかっているのは「毎年、西野が客席で酔っ払っている」ということぐらいで、あとは誰が出るかも分からない音楽フェスのチケットは全日程完売。とにかく、僕が知る限り、一番楽しい音楽フェスです。音楽フェスというか、忘年会ですね。

「天才万博２０１９」で画像検索していただけると、会場の雰囲気が伝わると思います。



そんな『天才万博』ですが、この度のコロナで「今年の開催はどうなんだろう？」という心配が、僕たちファンの間でずっとあったんですね。

運営サイトの人たちが開催したくてしたくてたまらないのは百も承知だし、とはいえ、お客さんの安全を守ることも当然考えなきゃいけないので、僕としては、どういう判断がくだろうが、受け止める気でいたんですね。
誰も悪くないので。



で、一昨日かな、『天才万博』の主催者さんが、天才万博のファンに向けて、「まだ迷っていて、本決まりではありませんが、今のところ、この方向で行こうかと思っています」という配信をしてくれたんですね。

ファンに相談する形で。



その中で、「一階スタンド席を、全て、テーブル席にして、今年はディナーショー形式でやろうかと思っています」という発表があったんです。

これにより、会場に入れるお客さんは４分の１程度になって、新型コロナウイルス対策のガイドラインを守ることができて、密を避けることができる。

でもって、今持っている一階スタンド席のチケット（３５００円）は「LIVE配信の閲覧チケット」に代わって、当日、「それでも会場のテーブル席（ディナー席）で観たい」という方は、追加で「ディナー席チケットを購入する」という形です。

「ディナー席チケット」が購入できるのは、「一階スタンド席のチケットを持っている人に限る」というのと、「LIVE配信には興味が無い人にはチケットの返金対応します」という条件付き。



僕個人的には、コロナの乗り越え方として、ほぼほぼ完璧な打ち手だと思ったのですが、配信のコメント欄を見ていると、この判断に不満を持っている人がチョコチョコいたんです。

「なんで、会場で観るのに、追加でお金を払わなきゃいけないんだ。テーブル席を売るにしても、一旦、全員払い戻しをしろ！」というのが彼らの言い分です。

おそらく第一希望が絶たれて、カーッとなっちゃったんだろ思うのですが、そんなこと言ったら、コロナ禍は全員、第一希望あ絶たれているわけで、その中で、最高の代替案を探っているわけです。



僕は、彼らのクレームが不思議で仕方がなくて、「とにかく、チケットは一旦全て払い戻しをして、あらためてテーブル席を売れ」って、運営からすると、「別にいいけど、それをしたら、損をするのは、テーブル席を買えなくなるかもしれない貴方ですよ」ということだと思うんですね。

いやだって、ディナーショーとなると、自分用のテーブルがあって、椅子があって、食事があるわけで、当然、スタンディング席からは値段は上がるわけじゃないですか？

でも、今回の判断だと、「すでにスタンディングチケットを持っている人」を対象にディナー席を販売するわけで、これは二重課金でも何でもなくて、本来のディナー席の値段からスタンディングチケット料金分は削られるわけじゃないですか？



言ってること、伝わってます？



……つまり、今回の運営の判断で、すでにチケットを買っていたお客さんが損をすることなんて一つもないんです。

納得がいかない点があるとするのであれば、「LIVE配信の閲覧権」の値段が、一階スタンディングチケットの３５００円という点ぐらい？

でも、そこに納得が行かなければ「返金対応」もしてくれるというのです。



僕は見事な判断だと思ったのですが、感情にまかせて、ここにクレームを入れる人がいる。



でね、運営がそのクレームを受け入れて、「じゃあ、分かりました。お望み通り、チケットは全員一旦払い戻し」としてしまうと、フラットに戻るわけだから、たとえばディナー席の値段があのままだと「６５００円」だったところが、「１万円」になり、加えて、その「ディナー席」が手に入るかどうかも分からない。

　
前までなら、「スタンディングチケットを持っている人」だけが、「ディナー席」の購入権利を持っていたんだけど、今度はそうではなくなって、「ディナー席」の購入対象者が全員になるので、より、チケットは手に入りづらくなる。

　
で、チケットが手に入らなくて、「それでも見たいから」となったら、結局、「LIVE配信のチケット」を購入することになるわけで…そもそも、誰が得をする為のクレームだったの？という話じゃないですか。

少なくとも、クレームを入れた本人は損をしている。



勿論、これは一昨日の時点での、まだ本決まりになる前のやりとりなので、その後、どうなったかは知りませんし、運営からの判断を待っているところですが……こういった感じで、「感情にまかせてクレームを入れたけれども、そのクレームが採用されたら、自分が損をする」ということって、往々にあると思っています。

僕は自分もエンタメサービスを提供する側なので分かるのですが、サービス提供者は「お客さんから長く愛される」ということが一番最初にあるので、そうなってくると、何かトラブルがあった場合は、「どうすれば、お客さんの損を減らせるか？」を皆、結構本気で考えています。

お客さんから搾取するようなサービスが、短命であることを皆、知っているので。



今回の「なんで追加でお金を払わなアカンねん」のクレームの根底には、「ちょっとズルしようとしているに違いない」という思い込みがあると思うのですが、お客さんに愛される前提で動いている人は、そんなことはしません。

そんなことをしたら、長期的に見て、自分が損するんだもん。



なので、今後、カーッとなっちゃって、「クレームを入れてやろう！」と思った時は、一旦、今日の話を思い返してください。

そのクレームが採用されたら、自分が損をする確率って、メチャクチャ高いので、気をつけてみてください。

Thank you for your kind support.

So I want to enter the chase, but today I would like to talk to you with the theme of ′′ people who leave it to emotions and put a complaint and reduce their share,"


I think it's better to talk to you with a specific example, so i want to talk to you from the angle, but I'm not completely following it, so I'd like to wait for the official announcement of the accurate information, but every year, 5 days in a row at the end of the year, we are having a music festival called ′′ Genius Expo ′′

I'm not a performer, but as a customer, I'm going to have a attendance award from the beginning of the festival.

Every year, I will definitely save the schedule for the ′′ Genius Expo ′′ and anyway, I've been working hard for 1 years for this day.
Of course, this year too.



Anyway, it's a fun space, and this festival is interesting," it's not attracting with performers,"

Every year, most customers carry their feet to the venue without knowing who will be performing.
In other words, in the ′′ festival itself," more specifically, there is a fan in that space.

The only thing I know is ′′ every year, nishino is drunk at the audience and the tickets for the music festival that I don't know who's going to be out are sold out all dates. Anyway, as far as I know, it's the most fun music festival. Music Festival or year-end party, isn't it?

If you can search for the image at ′′ Genius Expo 2019 ′′ I think the atmosphere of the venue will be transmitted.



It's a ′′ Genius Expo ′′ but it's been a long time since I've been in the middle of a long time since I've been in the middle of a long time since I've been in the middle of

I know a hundred things that people on the management site want to be held, but I have to think about protecting the safety of the customer, so I wonder what I'm going to do. I was thinking of catching it.
Because no one is bad.



So, the day before yesterday," the organizers of the ′′ Genius Expo ′′ are towards the fans of the genius expo," I'm still lost, and it's not a done, but at the moment, I'm thinking about going in this direction ′′ That's what I'm talking about.

In the form of consulting a fan.



In it, there was an announcement that ′′ I'm thinking about doing the first floor stand seat, all of them in the table seat, and this year I'm thinking about doing it in the dinner show format,"

This is how customers in the venue are about 4 minutes, and they can protect the guidelines for the new corona virus countermeasures, and they can avoid secretly.

So, the ticket for the first floor stand seat I have now (3500 yen) is on behalf of ′′ live broadcast viewing ticket ′′ on the day of the day," still, I want to watch it at the table seat (dinner seat) at the venue ′′ Is the form of ′′ Buy dinner seat tickets ′′ in addition.

′′ dinner seat tickets ′′ can be purchased," limited to those who have tickets for the first floor stand seat," for those who are not interested in live streaming, we will respond to the refund of the ticket ′′ With the condition.



I personally thought that it was almost almost almost perfect as a way to get through Corona, but looking at the comments section of the distribution, the person who was dissatisfied with this judgement was chocolate chocolate.

′′ why do I have to pay extra to watch at the venue. Even if you sell a table seat, once you get a refund!" it's their side.

I think the first hope has been cut off, and it has become a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of That's what I'm talking about.



I can't help but wonder their complaint," anyway, the tickets are all refunded, and I'm going to sell the table seat again," it's good, but if you do it, I think it's you who may not be able to buy a table seat

No, when it comes to dinner show, there's a table for yourself, there's a chair, and there's a meal, and naturally, the price is going up from the standing seat?

But in this judgement, I'm selling dinner seats for ′′ people who already have a standing ticket," and this is not a double charge, and it's a standing ticket from the price of the original dinner seat. Isn't it going to be scraped?



What you're saying is transmitted?



...... in other words, in the judgement of the operation of this time, there is no one to lose the customer who has already bought the ticket.

If there is a point that is not convincing, the price of ′′ live broadcast viewing rights ′′ is about 3500 yen for the first floor standing ticket?

But if you don't agree there, you'll be able to ′′ refund ′′



I thought it was a stunning judgement, but there are people who leave it to emotions and complain here.



So, the operation accepts the complaint," well, I understand. As you want, all the tickets are refunded," and I'm going back to the flat, so for example, the price of the dinner seat is ′′ 6500 yen ′′ when it's ′′ 1 yen ′′ And in addition, I don't even know if I can get that ′′ dinner seat ′′

　
Until before, only ′′ people who have standing tickets ′′ had the right to buy ′′ dinner seats," but this time it's gone, and I'm going to have a ′′ dinner seat ′′ to all of them. It's going to be harder to get tickets.

　
So, I can't get tickets, and I still want to see it," after all, I'm going to buy ′′ tickets for live streaming... in the first place, who's going to get a deal. A complaint to get it Was it? Isn't that a story?

At least the person who complained is losing.



Of course, this is the interaction before the day before yesterday, so I don't know what happened after that, and I'm waiting for the judgement from the operation, but...... this is how it feels," I put a complaint in my emotions, but if the complaint is adopted, I think that I will lose myself

I know that I am also the side of providing entertainment services, but the service provider is the first to say ′′ I will be loved for a long time from a customer so if you have any trouble Ha," I'm pretty seriously thinking about how to reduce the loss of the customer?"

We all know that a service that is exploited from a customer is a short life.



I think that the base of the complaint of ′′ why don't you pay money in addition," I think I'm going to be a bit of a cheat," but I'm moving on the premise of being loved by the customer. People don't do that.

If you do that, you'll see it in a long term, and you'll lose yourself.



So, in the future, I'm going to be a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

If the complaint is adopted, the probability of losing yourself is so messed up, so be careful.

Facebook dominates social media platforms market.
Microsoft Develops Operating Systems and Computer Software

But did you know that there is one thing these companies are paying attention to?

╚═══════════╝
First start at Amazon

Amazon company has invested in the game business since 2014 after acquiring Twitch business, online video platform, game containers with 29,000 million baht.

Passing through now, Twitch has grown beyond the competitors clearly.
9,340 million hours a year videos are viewed by 73 % of the market.

In addition, they have a business called Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides cloud database storage, which major game developers such as Bandai, Capcom, Epic Games, Supercell, Zynga are the company's customers.

Meaning that every time people play online, AWS services are also being used.
And most importantly, this business has much higher profit margins than E-commerce.

Next one is Alphabet

The company owns YouTube, the world's biggest online video platform, with about 250 million game-related followers per day.

In addition, YouTube has also launched a YouTube Gaming feature to support streaming games especially.
There are 2,681 million hours of video viewing per year. The market share of 21 % is the number 2, secondary from Twitch.

But what creates a lot of excitement for the industry.
Is Launching a cloud gaming platform business named Stadia at the end of 2019

This service may change the gaming patterns as we can buy games immediately. No need to download, install or need to use a good, expensive spectrum. Stadia will process and adjust the game quality details to suit the devices that people. Play and use.

The next company to talk about is Apple

In fact, indirect income game for Apple.
In 2019, there are people who spend in game application via App Store. App Store is about 1.2 trillion Baht. It is 70 % of all apps. Every 100 Baht will receive a share of 30 Baht.

Apple decided to expand its business to the gaming industry.
By launching an online gaming platform called Apple Arcade

Subscription subscriber, 150 baht per month. You can choose to play any game on every device of Apple brand.

There is an assessment that in the next 2 years, there will be around 50 million accounts of Apple Arcade users who will make additional income for the company over 93,000 million baht per year.

Another interesting one is Facebook.

Facebook has launched a 2018 Facebook Gaming online video feature.
Focusing on connecting to social media user base to create an advantage for people to follow contents easily under the same platform.

The company reveals 700 million video game visitors per month.
However, compared to the number of hours, Facebook Gaming also has a market share of only 3 %

But in the future, Facebook may develop new businesses similar to Google's Stadia.
Because I just bought PlayGiga business, cloud-based platform from Spain for 2,400 million baht.

And the eye-catching thing is Oculus VR owned by VR, a virtual reality technology developer with a high chance of making Facebook create successful virtual reality gaming devices.

The last part is Microsoft

Microsoft has been in the gaming business since 2001, as an Xbox gaming console developer that currently has total sales of more than 155 million machines.

And in 2016, the company launched a streaming platform named Mixer.
But the response is not as expected. There is only 3 % market share.

Get Microsoft to turn off this platform this July and rock the account with Facebook Gaming instead to collaborate with Twitch and YouTube.

In addition, Microsoft is also undergoing a cloud gaming business development. It is expected to be launched by XCloud this year.

All of them have businesses involved in gaming either way or anyhow.

But I have to say..
No matter how fierce the competition is, no one can compete with the real game owner like Tencent, Chinese tech company.

Because they have created or invested in a loud game with many players around the world like Fortnite, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Arena of Valor (RoV), League of Legends, Honor of Kings, Clash of Clans

Resulting in Tencent reigning the industry's highest position. Earning up to 612,000 million baht from the game business.

Arrived here. Many people may wonder why the game market is so interesting in the eyes of tech companies?

What these companies need is inevitable bringing their technology into consumer hands to build a strong user base.

Gaming business is becoming a very large industry.
From the world population of 7,800 million people, there are 2,700 million people playing games or around 35 %
Covering people of all ages and all devices whether it's mobile, computer or game console.

So, the game market is worth up to 4.7 trillion baht and it predicts that the number will grow to 6.2 trillion baht in 2023

The special thing is gaming people always pay to buy unlimited items or features.
Different from other markets where customers may buy limited amounts of money or subscription payments which are always the same.

And the company can also offer products to customers directly in real time. When order happens, players get items immediately. Game owners get paid at the same time.

While buying normally, consumers may have to shop at the mall or wait for delivery later. The seller may have a central or multi-layer dealer to get paid and also to manage inventory.

Including game owners and players can also do game-changing activities such as gamecast reviews or serious Esports to win prize money.

This is not surprising if it says in the near future, the game market where humans pay virtual purchases.
Could be bigger than any physical product market that is tangible..

Check out the differences of Orchard Road in Singapore during COVID19 Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Music by David Meraki: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI-ShiSbaApBfnKdgVaSWsQ

Fun Facts:
Orchard Road is a famous street in South East Asia, and increasingly across the world. Adorned with stores, malls, eateries and sites, the 2.2km strip is a paradise delight for shoppers and tourists alike. But there are a few things about Orchard Road that are little known, and adding these to your bank of knowledge could quite impress whoever you choose to stroll down the famed boulevard with. It’s not all about shopping and consumerism, there’s a lot more to this historic street in the Lion City.
1. If you perchance to stroll down Orchard Road between around 6:30 to 8:30pm, you may notice that the human species is somewhat outnumbered by another; hundreds and hundreds of birds flock to the famed shopping street in the evening, The Birds
If you perchance to stroll down Orchard Road between around 6:30 to 8:30pm, you may notice that the human species is somewhat outnumbered by another; hundreds and hundreds of birds flock to the famed shopping street in the evening, and their singing of sunset songs can actually become quite a racket. But why are there so many birds? Singapore is actually located right on course of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway – the migrating path of thousands of birds, and the island is an essential stop for the birds to refuel – and what a place to do it! Munching on leftover food, and singing from the many treetops that line the streets are four different species of birds; the Asian Glossy Starling, the Javan Myna, the house crow, and the rock pigeon.
But their presence comes with an unsightly catch – the poop. Executive Director of the Orchard Road Business Association, Steven Goh, is expending much effort and a lot of resources to keep the boulevard clean. For example, up to 3’000 litres of water every night is used to pressure clean the street and rid it of bird poop.
1. What’s in a Name?
The name Orchard Road actually originates from where you might think – it was once lined with orchards! Early in the 19th century it was home to Pepper and Gambier plantations, which years later gave way to Nutmeg and Fruit Orchards.
It’s rumored that a “Mr. Orchard” used to own some of the land at the corner of present-day Scotts Road and Orchard Road, and as lovely as that might be, there doesn’t seem to be much evidence to support it.
1. What Once Was…
As well as fruitful orchards (that sadly diminished mostly due to disease), Orchard Road was also once the location of three cemeteries; a Chinese cemetery, a Sumatran cemetery, and later on, a Jewish Cemetery.
By the 1860’s there were many private houses on Orchard Road, and in the early 1890’s, King Chulalongkorn, King of Siam, acquired “Hurricane House”. Later two pieces of property were added on, and it is now the site of the Royal Thai Embassy, at 370 Orchard Road.
The early 20th Century saw Orchard Road as home to a number of different things including fresh produce markets, car parks, the Orchard Road Railway and the Glutton’s market – where locals would wait for the clock to hit 5pm before setting up a number of stalls selling local cuisines and goodies.
And then in 1958 the Orchard Road that we know now began, with the opening of CK Tang’s Department store – the first and longest-running of its kind on the strip.
1. A Secret Street
Just a hop behind the glamourous Orchard Road, is another awe-inspiring street, but not for any of the same reasons.
Emerald Hill is a little street of terraced houses that feels as though it’s been frozen in time – a stunning display of Chinese Baroque architecture, this little street definitely deserves a little of your time away from Orchard Road.
What was once a nutmeg plantation (which sadly failed due to disease) has since become the home of many-a-wealthy Singaporean, and has even been the mystical setting for many short stories written by pioneer of Singaporean Literature Goh Sin Tub.

Happy New Year 2017!!!

あけましておめでとうございます。


I wish you a year filled with peace, good health and happiness.

新しい年が素晴らしい一年になりますよう皆様のご健康とご多幸をお祈り申し上げます。


This year, I want to continue sharing how much fun it is to cook Japanese food at home.

#お正月だから言うけど今年こそ、日本の家庭料理の楽しさを世界の人に知ってもらいたいです。毎年思っているけどw


The beauty of Japanese "home-cooking" is very artistic and creative. Not only bentos, but also the simple dishes these days are like "fun DIY". Many people in Japan noticed it in the recent years, thus there are way more people enjoying cooking at home than before. I want to share tons of creative recipe ideas from Japan to the world, including my original recipe ideas. I know those who are watching my videos already know it. I hope you can help out sharing the fun, too~ ;)

最近の日本の家庭料理はまるで食べるアートのようにクリエイティブで、キャラ弁に限らず、普通の料理でも作りたくなるようなアイディアが多くて、昔より自炊する人が増えました。難しい和食でなく、この楽しい日本の家庭料理の感覚を世界の人にも伝えていけたらなと思っています。


If you have any requests, feel free to leave your requests in the comments below. Of course, please kindly search my channel to make sure I didn't already shared it. To avoid duplicate requests, please LIKE the comments of the recipes you are going to request.

もし作ってほしい料理のリクエストがあればコメント欄に残して下さい。もちろん既に公開したレシピでないかチャンネル検索をして確認をしてくれると助かります。リクエストの重複がないよう、既にそのレシピ名がコメント欄にあれば、それをLIKEしてくれると助かります。


I will check the comments field of this video once in a while to update my TODO list, so you can come back here anytime to request more :)

このコメント欄は時々チェックしてTODOリストを更新したいと思っています。なので思いついたらいつでもリクエストをして下さい。
