The most common comment I receive on this blog is the statement "I always enjoy reading your articles.It's called "I'm very happy to receive any kind of comment. Whatever the comment is, I am very happy to receive it, but I would like to say that I am not a "enjoyableWe are more than happy to hear you say that. Because

I value the importance of running this blog.It should be a fun blog to read."

That's why. ."enjoyableIf the space is enjoyable, more and more people will gather. As more and more people gather, more and more information will be gathered, from which new developments will emerge.The Power of FunIt is always exciting to imagine the various futures created by "The(I often have delusions of being a "raccoon dog" who doesn't get it, though.)

But I am a serious person at heart, and every time I was a student, I always wrote in my correspondence book, "Serious childrenHe is so serious that he wrote, "I'm so serious that I'll go into serious mode as soon as I find myself in a serious mood and write sentences without a trace of fun in them. That's why he wrote "Now, do you enjoy writing and do you think the reader will enjoy it?I am quite aware of the "I am quite aware of the "I" on a daily basis.

Differences from Car Media

There are many online car media outlets run by motor magazines and corporations that contain useful and informative articles. Also, they have name recognition, credibility, and connections to manufacturers and financial resources.Various projects can be implemented that cannot be done by individuals.

For example, test-driving the latest models, taking measurements at a race track, interviewing manufacturers' representatives, covering motor shows, etc...

There are many things I envy, but as an individual blogger, there is no way I can win if I aim for the same thing. I am not a blogger.So what can only I write about?The answer to the question, "What is it?

."A fun blog to read.It was."(I'm assuming that the content will be useful to your readers.)

So I went back and read the past articles again.(Especially in the early days of the blog)He writes quite jokingly and his conversational writing is almost entirely in the Kansai dialect.However, this style of writing is not possible for a media outlet operated by a corporation as a business.

If that were the case, I wanted to take care of this area as much as I could freely do. That said, I am not forcing myself to write something completely boring and enjoyable.What a fun thing to do, and I enjoy writing about it.It's a bit of a "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Porsche saved the couple's life.

I think we are now a couple that has a lot of conversation, but for a while after the birth of our second daughter, we were not so much talking to each other as we were talking to each other.There was a time when I almost stopped talking to my husband.(Life with two children was harder than I had imagined)

I was also more focused on work than I am now, I was tired from putting the kids to bed and often fell asleep, and I wasn't as interested in Porsches as I am now, so our daily conversations were more like(No exaggeration or anything.)

Good morning, see you, welcome back, good night.

It was only about the same. Also, both my husband and I usually said, "I want to talk to you so bad! Listen to me! So, if we had something to say, we would often just send an e-mail during the day and get it over with. Also, because of my job, "I don't want to talk too much!How to speak and communicate to others in a short time and in a concise and simple wayI've been thinking a lot about the "I'm not a good person," so I've always ended up talking like that at home, and I'm not sure why.

Mina-chan is a complete "man" in the way she talks and thinks.

My husband used to say to me.

And at one point, "It's indeed too bad that the couple doesn't talk to each other.The couple discussed the issue with the owner of the house, but time went by without any solution...

After that, I gradually started to like Porsche, and in June 2017, I opened this blog, and around April last year, I decided to get serious about blogging, and since then, our conversations as a couple have gradually increased.

I've had more opportunities to go for car rides as a couple, get car lectures from my husband to write blog posts after putting the kids to bed, and "I'm not sure how I'm going to do it.How about an article like this?I've been trying to come up with some ideas with "I've been working on this for a while now...

When the traffic to the blog was still low, I analyzed the analytics and tried all the measures I could think of.When the access to our articles did not increase as expected, we would discuss what was the cause....

Well, 80% of our conversations as a couple are car-related (w)Conversations more like business partners than married couples.However, even so, the increase in communication has made the home brighter and more enjoyable than before.

company, society, community, before that.Married couples are the closest and most important communitySo I learned through these experiences that the foundation of daily happiness is the marital relationship.

So.I am so grateful to "Porsche" and to this blog for helping to make this happen.To me, a Porsche is not just a car, not just a sports car that teaches you how to enjoy driving.The most important thing that supports my life from the foundation.The "I" was the first to be used in the project.

That's why I said, "Porsche makes the couple's relationship better and their lives richer.I now hope to be able to express "I'm not a fan of this" in my blog in a fun, not intrusive, way.

Kansai dialect

However, one thing has been bothering me recently.

How about "articles with Kansai dialect"?

This is the reason.

According to Google Analytics.The most common area where the blog's readers live is the Kansai regionBut the fact that the Kansai region is seen more often than the Tokyo metropolitan area, even though the metropolitan area must have by far the largest population and most Porsche owners... I wonder if the text is too cozy and difficult to read for people in the Tokyo metropolitan area....

Right.Royu drivewayI often write about the "Kansai region" and touring spots in Kansai, so I wonder if there are inevitably more readers from the Kansai region. I suddenly asked about this on twitter the other day.

It's definitely better now," he said. The conversations are more real, more direct."
"I wasn't aware of it. ・・・・ I guess I don't have to worry about it ^^^."
It's very realistic and differentiates itself from other blogs!"

I received a reply saying. You are all so kind....

By the way, when I visited Porsche Japan before, I was told by the German product manager(He lived in Kansai when he was a student.), "I like that this blog has a Kansai dialect! Please keep it going!I am going to continue to enjoy myself in the Kansai dialect.

    I always enjoy reading this. Usually these phrases are just social pleasantries or canned sentences, but I really enjoy reading them.

    In Mina's family, children are not a bond between husband and wife, but Porsche is a bond between them.

    In my family, when I start talking about Porsches and cars, my wife and children pretend not to hear me. The efficacy of Porsche seems to vary considerably from household to household.

    I live in Kanto, so information on driving routes in Kansai is invaluable. I hope the blog will continue in this groove.

      >I always enjoy reading this. Usually the phrase is social or just a canned expression, but I really enjoy reading it.

      Thank you for saying so! LOL I am very happy.
      Really, as you say, really, no exaggeration or anything, Porsche is a clamp.

      Certainly, the effect of Porsche is different for each family...
      I think a very big part of it is that I have become even more interested in Porsche because of the fact that I am a blogger.

      Well, I'll continue to update the blog with this Kansai-chic ride!
      Thank you for your continued support.

  2. oh!

    Nice to meet you! I am actually thinking of buying a late model Porsche 911 (Type 997) next year or the year after, and since I live in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, which is close to Ashiya, I always enjoy looking at your site with a sense of familiarity and excitement.
    I also follow your various social networking sites and like them from time to time, so I look forward to seeing more of your work. And I'll try my best to encourage you to get your Porsche lined up at Ashiu Driveway!

    • Mina.Mina.

      my dear
      Nice to meet you! Thank you for your comment.
      I see you live in Higashinada-ku, so we are neighbors ^_^.

      Is it a 997 Carrera!
      Cool ^_^!
      If you purchase the car, please go for a run on the Ashiu Driveway.
      I'll be making my debut ashi yuri one by then lol.

      Thank you for your continued support, including on social networking sites.

    Hi, I too am enjoying reading this ^ ^ ^)
    There is an abundance of information in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and not only in the Kansai region, but those in areas where you only see Porsche occasionally may feel a sense of familiarity with it.

    I have never been aware of the Kansai dialect on this blog, which probably means that I have some Kansai mixed in with it.
    So I tried reading it with Kansai dialect intonation, and it was a lot of fun (it's impossible to express it in words...).

      Thank you for everything ^^^!
      Glad to hear you say that!

      >I have never been aware of the Kansai dialect on this blog, which probably means that I have some Kansai mixed in with mine.

      Ah, I see! Perhaps you were reading it without any sense of discomfort, since we share the same "western Japan"!

      >I tried reading it with a Kansai dialect intonation, and found it to be a lot of fun (it's impossible to describe it in words...).
      Intonation, I got it right lol!
      We will continue to update our articles daily for your reading pleasure.
      Thank you very much!

  4. a blow

    Nice to meet you! I have always enjoyed reading your blog and have not commented on it, but I felt compelled to comment on your latest entry. I have a lot of sympathy for you and your husband's relationship and the points you take care of in your blog, and I hope you will continue to do so "as is" in the future. Thank you for everything!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Nice to meet you! Thank you so much for visiting my blog!
      I am also very happy to receive your first comment.

      >I have a lot of sympathy for the relationship between the couple and the points they care about in their blog, and I hope they will continue to do so "as is" in the future.

      I am relieved and at the same time very happy to hear you say so.
      Although it is a constant process of trial and error, I would like to enjoy updating articles, trusting in my current senses.
      Keep up the good work!

    Hello, nice to meet you, my name is hurtlocker from Hokkaido, Japan. I will be turning 60 this year. It has been 15 years since I ran my company. It is a small company, but I have done my best so far, including family matters.
    My two children are grown, and last year my oldest daughter just had a child and grandchild. We are finally getting down to business, and although our company has grown somewhat over the past few years, it has not been enough for us.
    The fun of driving a car has come back to me as it did when I was younger. Your blog jumped out at me while I was researching Porsche, a car I adored when I was young. At first I thought it was a story about a rich couple who owned a Porsche (sorry for the rude word), but now it has become the reason for me to own a Porsche. We will be taking delivery of our 911.2 Carrera 4 in March.
    Thank you very much. Please keep up the good work and take care of yourself. I look forward to reading your blog.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Fujita
      Nice to meet you, and thank you very much for visiting our blog and commenting.

      You run a company.
      I think it is an extraordinary feat to run a company for 15 years and grow it, so I really admire you for that.

      >A rich man and his wife own a Porsche.

      Honestly, thank you lol!
      But yes, if I were a reader, I would probably look at it with that thought in mind lol.

      Wow, I didn't know you delivered a 991.2 Carrera 4 in March: !!!!
      4 looks so cool with all those lights connected back there!
      What a rich life, to be able to drive a Porsche with your grandchildren, what a rich life.

      We hope you'll be able to drive the car once it's delivered.
      I would be happy to know what you think about it.

      Thank you for your continued support.
