Can't you resolve this by resetting your login method here? ？

I can log in through the Yahoo website and check my email there, but it doesn't seem to sync with the Mail app on my iPhone ？—the one that comes pre-installed on the iPhone. I'm thinking ？ that there might be some restrictions because I live overseas.
I’m busy today, so I’m thinking of stopping by the Apple Store tomorrow, but since it’s a Japanese Yahoo Mail account, I’m worried they might not be able to resolve the issue.

So that’s the situation, then.

It seems that Yahoo Mail does indeed have restrictions on access from overseas enabled by default.

Disabling the access restrictions for overseas users might make it possible.

As Ko-ji-san mentioned, I tried disabling access from overseas yesterday, but it didn't work.
Today, I received helpful advice at the Apple Store, and we tried all sorts of solutions, but we couldn’t resolve the issue. For now, they set up a bookmark for Yahoo! Japan Mail, and I’ve been opening it from there. Although I’ve saved my password and other information on my smartphone, I have to go through text verification every time I open it, which is a hassle.
The Apple representative told me to try opening it again from the iPhone Mail app after a while—they said there’s a chance it might start working for some reason, but they couldn’t say for sure. They mentioned that this kind of thing happens from time to time.
I imagine there are many people living overseas who use the Yahoo! Japan Mail service—has anyone else been affected by this?

I remember being surprised when I found out that the Suzuki ・ Method violin school—where Sato-mama had sent her child—also has a branch in Hawaii.
https://www.suzukihawaii.org/
https://stehawaii.org/
I wasn’t interested in the violin myself, so I didn’t contact them, but why don’t you ask if they offer instruction in Japanese?
It looks like they offer classes at Punahou as well—that’s pretty impressive.

Hello ！
I’ve been thinking about having my 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter take violin lessons, and while I was looking into it, I found this studio.
I was planning to have her start around the time she turns 3, so I haven’t contacted them yet …. It looks like they teach in both Japanese and English 😄

It would be faster to ask Discovery Bay directly.

On rare occasions, it may be closed for maintenance.

I’d recommend the sauna at Sky Ala Moana instead.

Nayami,
you’ve run into someone who’s incredibly irresponsible.
If you can’t take responsibility until the very end, you shouldn’t have started in the first place, but first of all, feeding stray cats in public places without permission is illegal.
You could be fined, so you should stop doing that.
Feeding cats that haven’t been spayed or neutered contributes to the stray cat population, which is likely why that law was enacted.
A while back, a cat-loving neighbor of mine started feeding them, but it led to a vicious cycle where kittens kept having kittens, and the stray cat population exploded. After receiving complaints from other neighbors, they had a hard time catching them all and eventually took them to the Humane Society.
So, I think it’s fine to just say, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to break the law,” to that irresponsible friend.
I think the cats will eventually move to areas where animal welfare organizations have obtained permits to feed them.

P.S. — Since traffic violations are caught in the act, even if you report the video to the HPD, they’ll just say, “Please be careful,”
and won’t issue a ticket.

They will keep a record of it, though. Unless they witness the incident firsthand, they won’t issue a ticket.
If they were to issue a ticket for every single instance, they’d end up issuing tickets to
every single driver.

Thank you for sharing your experience and letting me know that tickets are only issued for drivers caught in the act.
What’s more, this recent incident happened while I was walking with my child in a stroller—I thought we’d be pretty noticeable, but the driver seemed to completely ignore us, which really made me angry. If it had been drizzling, I might have felt so miserable that I would have burst into tears.
A little while ago, I also witnessed a car accident right in front of me at an intersection where two cars collided. If I’d been walking a little further ahead and waiting at the traffic light, I might have been caught up in it, so I’ve been staying extra vigilant when waiting at traffic lights lately.

The other day, while driving down Kapahulu Avenue, I saw someone crossing the crosswalk while filming the traffic ？ on the street ？ with their smartphone. Every single car, both to the right and left, had come to a complete stop. After seeing your post, I wondered if this person might have had a similar experience ？, but how about trying to cross the crosswalk this way? ？

Even when I’m driving, I feel like traffic has been moving faster lately. I think pedestrians must have a lot of scary experiences. Our street faces a major road, and since there are quite a few traffic accidents, to be honest, I’m afraid to let my son walk there alone.

#5 Mr. M
＞ Why don’t you try crossing the crosswalk this way? ？

The City of Honolulu has a law commonly known as the “No Smartphone While Walking Law （ Distracted Walking Law / Ordinance Section 15-24.23 ）,”
which prohibits “viewing （ Viewing ） ” the screen of electronic devices such as smartphones while crossing crosswalks or roads.

We’ve summarized the key points you should know.

[Prohibited Activities ・ and Devices]

◆Prohibited actions: Sending text messages, checking social media, browsing the web, and watching videos on your smartphone are, of course, prohibited—even “simply checking the time on the screen” is not allowed.

◆Covered devices: Smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, handheld game consoles, etc.

◆The Only Exception: This is permitted only when calling 911 （ for an emergency ）.

🚨Hands-free calls or listening to music ？
"looking at the screen" is what is regulated; therefore, making a call without looking at your smartphone screen or
listening to music while crossing the street—（ setting safety concerns aside—） does not constitute a violation of this law.

💡 Crossing the street while filming a video—if you’re looking at the screen—is a violation and subject to a fine.
I know of people who paid fines for this before the pandemic, but enforcement of this violation has now become more lenient.

I forgot to mention one more important point.

In the event of a traffic accident on a crosswalk, if you were filming the incident, the pedestrian would also be considered to have committed a violation, which would put them at a disadvantage.

Since you can’t use kanji with your husband’s last name, you’re planning to use the same last name as your Japanese mother, right?
I think it’ll be fine because they’ll add your husband’s last name in parentheses on your Japanese passport, but the names won’t match, will they?
If I use that example name for my child’s Japanese name, I believe it will be registered in the family register as Yamada Hanako Rei. We’ll list it as Hanako Rei on official documents, but if we end up living in Japan, we’ll let people call her either Hanako or Rei—whichever they prefer.
The passport is written entirely in Roman letters as Yamda(Smith) Lei Hanako.
I’m curious how others in international marriages have handled this, but I think the best thing to do is consult with the Japanese consulate.

In our case, for some reason, my name on my Japanese family register has ended up as a combined name with my husband’s, so so our children’s passports list

Japan
Smith Yamada Hanako Rei

USA
Smith Hanako Rei

USA —they don’t include our Japanese family name. We’ve traveled back and forth between Hawaii and Japan many times, and we’ve never had any problems. The only issue is that the names are so long they sometimes don’t fit on the airline tickets.

When it comes to investing, the optimal strategy varies depending on factors such as an investor’s age, occupation, income, and current financial situation.
However, since this is a field where even professionals struggle to achieve consistent results, why not start with index investing?

I consider myself little more than a beginner myself, and since index investing makes the most sense to me,
I’ve allocated the majority of my portfolio to it.

You mentioned that your dog almost trips—what kind of leash do you use? ？
Even though they’re considered small, French Bulldogs are actually quite strong, aren’t they? I recommend a shorter rope leash.
My dog weighs 18 kilograms, but since he doesn’t like other dogs, he sometimes pulls suddenly when we’re out for a walk.
Things have gotten a lot easier since I switched to a rope leash.
Rope leashes come in various thicknesses and lengths, so I think it’s worth trying a few out.

"I Love Dogs"
That’s big. Mine will be 1 year old soon, but weighs only about 5–6 kg.
The reason I almost fall is that I’m frail and can’t move my feet as quickly as I used to when I was younger. （ It’s truly embarrassing. ）
Thank you so much for all your advice.
