According to information from Japanese broadcasters and producers,
Japanese-language broadcasting is legal in North America ・ and distribution service companies are limited, while other companies are illegal
,Other companies are illegal ( I think they mean Japanese law ).
There was a discussion in another post about the gray area if the server is overseas ( I checked this too, and found information that uploading to the server from Japan is out of compliance with the Japanese copyright law ),
which is a violation of the law. ? I think it is difficult to expect morals from a company that is distributing a Japanese program with a high level of respectfor the copyright holder's rights. After all, it is a company that ignores the rights of copyright holders and tries to make money with minimal investment. I understand that you want to watch Japanese popular movies.
Also, there seems to be criticism of Japanese broadcasters who do not allow overseas distribution.
However, the current situation is that there are companies that make money by taking advantage of such feelings of Japanese people overseas,
and then go into hiding when their position becomes unfavorable.
I wonder if each person understands that much before using the company.

Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?
I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?
I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Unfortunately, sometimes I get a bill when I forget about it. At any rate, I would check
what the bill ? is now and then ask the previous insurance company ? if this is something that has to be paid or not covered.
I'm not sure the hospital or insurance company would be liable unless it was a serious mistake.
"Oh, I forgot, you have to pay." So it's like.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

In my case, on the contrary, last year I had to pay back the premium amount for a treatment that I was told was not covered by insurance. The treatment cost was several years ago. When I inquired about it, I was told that it took a long time to process the paperwork due to the office being closed due to Corona.

Dear Magires
Thank you for your advice. I checked with the hospital and Bill had sent it immediately after the clinic. He said that he had not received a single prompt after that, so he probably forgot about it.Also, I checked my credit card history and it seems that I did not pay for the year 2021, so I paid this time.
Dear rak
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I understand that it is possible to get back the other way around. I have been living in Hawaii for 7 years now and I thought I had a lot of things figured out, but this is the first time I have been baptized by a late bill.
Thank you both for your valuable stories.This time we resolved the issue by saying that the hospital forgot to bill you and I also forgot to pay. I am glad it was not a big surprise amount.

About Hana Hau'oli School

I'm sorry to say that I recently saw a topic about how difficult it is to get into a Montessori community school !
In fact, my daughter did not get into the 3 year old class at a Montessori community school this year, but I am considering trying at the 4 year old level.
We are also considering Hana Hau'oli School, which sounds like a great idea.Please let me know if you are a parent of a child who has actually attended Hana Hau'oli School, or if you know if Hana Hau'oli School is also difficult, or if the middle level after graduating from Hana Hau'oli School is good enough to get into Punahou or Iolani.
I am not aware of anyone around me who attends Hana Hau'uolis School
so I thought I'd put this topic up here.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Dear Aloha
Thank you very much. I guess Hana Hau'oli School is also
more difficult … than Montessori Community School.
The tuition is $ 27,000 for a preschool and … more expensive than mid-pack. Besides, if the school is in the top 10%, it is definitely difficult to get in. …

Dear Topi
It is so difficult that 2 daughters and 1 son tried but couldn't get in ! Hana Hau'oli is only a 4 year old exam, so if you don't get in at 4, you have almost no chance of getting in !

My daughter attends Hana Hau'oli.
I sent my 2 and 3 year old to MCS as mentioned above.
My daughter has adjusted easily to Montessori and Hana Hau'oli because the educational concepts are similar.
Hana Hau'oli is also a global school with many bilingual children.Hana Hau'oli is also a global school, so there are many bilingual children there. Hana Hau'oli's educational concept is also global and emphasizes education in cooperation with families, so
children who are bilingual from an early age (Japanese and English, etc.) may be suited to Hana Hau'oli. In fact, bilingual children are born with the natural ability to automatically distinguish and use two or three different languages, and it was said that infants who can manipulate multiple languages have very high learning ability.
Natural language brain, pronunciation of each language, and bilingual brain are said to be acquired in an environment before the age of 3.Neither I nor anyone else in my family graduated from Hana Hau'oli, and I took the test thinking it was impossible.
Chances are few but they are there !
The school, the education, the teachers, everything is great.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Hello. My child is also going to take the Hanahau'oli exam. There are a lot of kids in the same preschool who are taking the test
I am wondering how big the turnout will be, even though there are only a little over 20 places available.
And since priority is given to those with legacy or family members who have attended the school, I think families with no connections at all will almost never get in.
The school has a strong family bond after graduation, so it is the kind of school that your ancestors can attend.We don't have any connections, so we are going to try to get a tutor. My interview is in early February. I will start interviewing this weekend.
The parent activity ? interview thing seems to be different every year, some years it's a reading aloud from a children's book in English, some years it's an introdon ! like
a nursery rhyme in English that is played and then sung, etc. ? It's a bit different exam. It seems to be.
I am very excited to see what the subject will be this year. Let's do our best !.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I did a lot of research on the procedures after the car arrives in Hawaii, but could not find any details, so I got a quote from a company that said it would cost $ 2,200, but after further research
I found out that if I do everything myself, the cost is not that much.I found out that if I did everything myself, it would not cost that much.

You definitely need a license plate for the car, and you pay taxes there, so ask Citi ?
My husband bought his car online from Mainland, and he did it himself. The tax part and the car inspection part are very important.
By the way, it is also important that the car is not an illegal car with American specifications. If there are any illegal parts, you should be fined.

I am the one who asked a flight question about the shipping cost of the calendar in #2. I just shipped from the post office counter. One $ was 9.16. The last year I shipped, it was a little over $5.00, so the price had almost doubled, but I thought the price would have gone up more, so I was a little relieved that it was within $10.00 for one. I also noticed while waiting my turn in front of the post office door that there is a scale outside the door and you can follow the directions on the panel to weigh your postage. I will use this next time.
