タイトル：The Evolution of Detergents or Humidity in Japan?
本文：
First and foremost, I hate the rainy season. Something pops out of nowhere when we take a commuter train, wipe hands with a towel just to name a few…. What pops out suddenly in this season? Is it a ghost? No. It’s “Namagawaki-Shu”. If you ask me, it’s some kind of a ghost though. Scientifically speaking, that smell comes from bacteria grown on wet laundry. Just explaining this brings to mind an odor… Every year, Japanese pharmaceutical companies come out new detergents like “This is designed for terrible odors!” “The unbeatable detergent ever!!!” They always sweet-talk me. Whenever I hear these catch phrases I think “This year, I may be able to beat an odor down…?” But the answer is simple. “Never in the million years.” Unfortunately, they do not work at all. It doesn’t mean Japanese pharmaceutical companies don’t work, just because “Namagawaki-Shu” is an incredibly tough opponent. Even though I was born and raised in Japan, I have no idea yet what I should conquer this smell issue… Climate of the Philippines where most Sankei teachers live is much more humid than that of Japan. I need to ask how they struggle with this odor. This topic may cross the border. At the moment, what I can do is using nice detergent and pinching my nose. Or being insensitive to odors may be the real rainy-day friend.
