Please mail me !

 I often send newsletters that are called  "Yoshio (Sakurai)'s mail report". In these letters I discuss many topics , for example, the relation between culture and Internet ,sociology,cultural studies,economic situation especially in Japan,education in universities ,  jobsearching , sex in the postmodern age and so on.

If you want to read these letters ,please send  me a mail "Send me Yoshio's mail report". I write these reports sometimes in Japanese and sometimes in English or both. (If your PC (and you)can accept and read mails written in Japanese ,please write  in your mail "Japanese mail is OK". )

There are titles of some of "Yoshio's mail report" below. Sorry,except the blinked ones,almost all articles are Japanese.If your PC can read Japanese ,you can read the Japanese original texts linked from my Japanese version home page http://member.nifty.ne.jp/ysakurai/
