About electronic pianos available at Costco in Japan

Question

I know this is a question for an American forum ? but how do you say "88 keys, weighted" electronic piano in Japan ? I would like to buy one from Costco in Japan if possible. I live in the U.S., but this is a gift for a family member in Japan as a celebration.

I understand 88 keys, but is "weighted" the piano touch in Japan? I would like to buy a piano that I can use for a while, so that I don't have to buy a new electronic piano when I start taking piano lessons.

Thank you very much.

Hello.
I am currently using a Roland FRP sold at Costco.
I also play classical piano, so I think I can help you.

First of all, there are many types of electronic pianos.
Weighted means that the keys are weighted like a real piano. This is for people who want to learn piano seriously like a classical piano.
However, the weighted keys may be tiring at first. That being said, the best thing about the weighted electronic piano is that with practice you can express delicate sounds.
So if you want to focus on "playing" the piano, I would recommend weighted.

I don't know much about piano touch, but I think it is the ability to change the volume of the sound depending on how hard you press the keys.

If you are just starting to make music, you don't really need the weighted feature. Instead, we recommend a "keyboard" that can produce sounds from a variety of sources and instruments.
It does not have the weight of an electronic piano, but it specializes in "inserting sounds into a music application," which is essential for music creation. It can produce not only piano sounds, but also drums, guitars, and almost any instrument sound you can think of, and you can put them into applications such as a computer to make music.
However, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't have the "weight" of a real piano, so it is not suitable for practice.

Most electronic pianos fall into these two categories.

If you want to learn to play the piano, we recommend this electronic piano.
https://www.costco.com/roland-frp-2-acr-digital-piano-bundle.product.4000186636.html
I use it and it has a lot of accessories.

I recommend this keyboard for people who want to make music on a computer or other devices.
https://www.costco.com/casio-ct-x700-premium-portable-keyboard-bundle.product.100779619.html
It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources. It has 61 keys, but it has 600 instruments and sound sources.

I know this is a long time ago, but I wonder if you have solved what the Lord wants to know. ?

"I want to give my child a real piano, but due to living restrictions such as a small house or not being able to play loudly enough for the neighborhood, I choose an electronic piano"
There are many families like this in Japan. Perhaps it is because most of the manufacturers of digital pianos are in Japan, and buying one in Japan gives you the most choices.
So, the value of any manufacturer's product is "how close it is to a real piano".

At the moment, only ROLAND and some CASIO products are available on the Japanese Costco web, but if you remove the Costco restriction,
YAMAHA, KAWAI, CASIO, ROLAND, KORG, etc. offer a variety of products.
Each of them explains their keyboard mechanism in detail on their web site, so please try to gather information.

There is no unified expression of "piano touch", but if you read carefully, you will find that\about 100,000 or more have weighted and volume control according to the force of keystroke.
Also, as the price goes up, the material and construction of the keyboard gets closer to a real piano, and the sound source and speakers get better.
By the way, my relative had a KAWAI.

Postscript
However, the better ( and more expensive ) the piano is, the bigger and heavier it is, even though it is a digital piano.
So, if you want to buy a piano as a present, it would be better to check the actual piano before you buy it.

Change of Address at DMV

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • Ai

  • 2024/01/06 00:53

I am embarrassed to admit that this is a very rudimentary question, but I am looking for help.

I went to the DMV website to make the change, but there are two options for change of address
・ Driver's license or ID
・ Vehicle or Vessel
This is the same as the Vehicle or Vessel option. Driver's license or ID Vehicle or Vessel I was wondering if I should also select Vehicle or Vessel and change both ?
I was thinking in general that I could change the address on the DMV registration, so I am not sure, ?
Also, I will be changing my address for my car insurance later.

Just to give you some background,
we recently got married and are in the process of applying for a green card, but we don't plan on living together for a while due to our work schedules.
We consulted a lawyer and he told us to change our address registration for bank, DMV, car insurance, etc. to prepare for the green card interview.

By the way, my marriage partner does not have a car and driver's license, which sadly does not help much.
I would appreciate it if someone could answer my question when you have a chance. Thank you in advance.

Noise from brakes ・ The cause of the squeal is most likely wear and tear of the brake pads. Brake pads are gradually worn away by friction with the brake disc each time the brakes are applied. When the friction material is scraped away and the metal part of the brake pad is exposed, the metal rubs against metal, causing an unpleasant squealing sound. However, please be assured that the noise does not mean that the pads are completely gone. Brake pads are equipped with a metal part called a pad wear indicator, which is intentionally designed to squeak at an early stage to indicate wear. There is no medicine for the fools above.

Brake squeal is a strange noise coming from the brakes.

Normal brake squeal is just a quiet "soo ・ ・ ・ ・" braking sound, but a braking sound generated when the brakes are depressed, such as "squeal ・ ・ ・ ・", "go ・ ・ ・ ・" or "clunk clunk" sounds may indicate a problem with the disc brake or drum brake.

A strange noise that is immediately noticeable while driving is worrisome, and if left unchecked, there is a danger that the brakes will stop working.

If there is brake squeal or abnormal noise, there is a need to determine the cause as soon as possible.

The weekday section of Nishiyamato Gakuen is a so-called full-day Japanese school. Since it is a private school, it relies only on tuition fees and there is no teacher dispatch from the Ministry of Education, so it seems to be difficult to manage.

Divorce in Los Angeles

I am a Japanese woman living in Los Angeles with my American husband and we are considering a divorce.
We were registered in Japan and did not file for marriage in the U.S.
I checked with the ward office and the Japanese consulate in LA. I checked with the ward office and the Japanese consulate in LA and they said that if you do not have a certificate of residence in Japan, you cannot get a divorce in Japan, even if your country of marriage is Japan.
So, first divorce procedures are done in the U.S., then once the divorce is finalized, the documents are sent to the Japanese Consulate, and the Consulate forwards them to the Japanese ward office, and the divorce is finalized in Japan.
★ All the conditions for a simple divorce are met except that the other party does not want to sign the divorce papers.
In that case, which form needs to be filled out / and submitted?
Please let me know if anyone knows. Thank you in advance.

I was married to an American for a long time, but last year I filed for divorce as a PETITIONER and did a lot of research on my own until the last step and finished the process without hiring a lawyer or mediator. It was an amicable divorce with someone I could argue calmly with, so it was possible. I am now waiting for the JUDGEMENT. The only cost was the initial FILE fee. \I also took advantage of my employer's MetLife Legal Plan, which is a benefit of my employer, for one 30 minute attorney consultation. I am sure there are local rules in your county, so you may want to check the county family court website for a complete list of the various procedures.

The more Community property the more hassle. In the end, it cost me over $50,000 in legal fees … The other party must have spent more, so over $100,000 for the two of us combined. I recommend using Mediator if you can.
