Piano Tuner ( Services ・ Support Systems ) : Yasuhiro Nakajima - Local Information Magazine Lighthouse : This is an interview with a Japanese piano tuner working in San Diego and Seattle ・ Portland. Mr. Nakajima has an interesting background, having worked as an auto mechanic and then in the trades before jumping into the different field of piano tuning. He talks about his tuning skills and the satisfaction of his job. Unfortunately, he has passed away. It would be faster to ask your piano teacher.

Thank you for your reply.
I am a resident of the WLA area. Since my children have long since grown up, I have no one to play the piano
and I have lost touch with both my piano teacher and the tuner who referred me to you.
Even if I wanted to give up the piano, it has not been tuned for a long time, and
the piano itself has become a burden.
Even if I let it go, I wonder if it would be better to have it tuned.

Something on the news today about an elderly Hispanic man working at a liquor store who went outside to take out the trash,
got hit by another Hispanic man, fell backwards,
hit his head, and is unconscious and in critical condition.
The picture looks exactly the same as the unidentified Japanese man in San Pedro, with bruises on his eyes, bandages on his head, and in a coma...
The case against the Hispanic grandfather is proven, as he was caught on security camera.
The case of the dead Japanese man,
I think we should search the security cameras in the area where he was lying....
I wonder if the Japanese family is really accepting the case without hesitation.

I am scheduled to graduate from college in December 2023 and applied for OPT in mid-October. I am in a situation where I don't know the schedule and can't make a plan. I think it will be mid-January at the earliest, so I would like to move in around the beginning of February. Is there any possibility of receiving it earlier than that ? ? Also, I would like to know how many days it took for those who applied during the winter period.

I am looking for a bank that I can use online even after I return to Japan.
・ You can Wire Transfer to Japan online.
・ You can register your Japanese mobile number as the mobile number to receive a code for identity verification by text message. You can also choose to have the code sent to your email address.

For now, these two things are OK, but the latter is not OK for my Bank of America, and the former is not OK for Capital One.
If you know of any bank that can do these two things, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Best regards.

They can instantly find out to which carrier a US phone number is assigned. And BOA says
Supported Carriers include: Alltel, AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, U.S. Cellular ® , Verizon Wireless. so they are saying that Nextpulus is no good. By the way, google fi as I mentioned earlier is an MVNO of T-Mobile, so it is OK.
I used to have a Citi account, but when I stopped using it for some reason, I was told to close it sooner than expected (about 2 years ? ) "If you don't use it, I will close your account", and I made the mistake of leaving it alone at that time because it was too much trouble.

I opened a multi-currency account with Wise, connected to Chase and other accounts, and withdraw via ACH ( $ with a 50K/24h limit ). I think it would be better to compare the two accounts, depending on the amount, wire may have lower fees, but wire also has fees on the US account side, so I think it would be a good idea to include that in the comparison. Identity verification can be done with a photo ID ( my number card, Japanese driver's license, passport, etc. ) at the time of opening an account, and can be done with the application. You can convert to yen at the real rate in real time, and you can keep up to 1,000,000 yen in USD or JPY in your Wise Account and use your debit card to make payments or ATM withdrawals, and you can keep your balance of over 1,000,000 yen for 30 days. > Wise is easy to use for me personally because I can transfer up to 1,000,000 yen at a time ) with no limit on the number of times I can transfer.

Tobi Lord.

I searched for "cross in la jolla" and found it. I thought it was a statue of Christ and searched only for "Christ stature in la jolla", which was a mistake. It is a crucifix, isn't it? I was mistaken. I had read an article about it in Lighthouse before and had a vague recollection of it. I had always wanted to go there because it is free and has a great view of the ocean. Now I can finally go.  Thank you very much, everyone.

As #16 wrote,
Now that your student visa has been denied, you will most likely be denied entry even if you have ESTA.
Because ESTA is not a visa.
By the way, since your student visa has been denied, even if you apply for a B2 visa,
it will be denied unless you have a good reason. You will have to meet your mother in Japan or in another country such as Canada or Mexico. You would have to change your study abroad to some other country.

The esta is still valid, so there is a possibility that you can enter the country and stay for a week.
However, you can't go to a community college on an I-20 with the esta still in effect, so you will need to apply for an f-1 again.
As others have said, it is very likely that you will be rejected for the same reason, so it may be better to study in another country.
If you really have to try, even if it is just for appearances, I think your chances will improve somewhat if you emphasize that you have a job lined up after you graduate from the college and return to Japan, and submit a letter from that employer as well.
If you can get an f-1 visa, you can switch to a work visa or apply for permanent residence without returning to your home country after graduation from college. You may want to consult with an agent or something. I still wonder why the embassy knew that your mother was applying for permanent residence.

If you want an environment where there are many Japanese people around, I think Torrance would be the best choice.
If you also want your child to attend a supplementary Japanese language school, a place close to the school would be a natural choice.

As the above mentioned, the better school districts are safer and the rents are higher. So I think it is difficult to give advice because there are so many candidates unless you have a detailed request such as "because my workplace is near here".

You can use "Great Schools" to find schools with good reputations, but the availability of schools is also important.
If you are using a Japanese real estate agency to search for a house, it would be a good idea to have an agent who is strong in obtaining information and support in this area assigned to you.

If you want to get information without using a real estate agent, you will have to pay a fee, but if you are serious about your search, "Rocotavi" may be a better option.
