The question was funnier than Shiraishi-san's response today, lol.


Q: Do you think insisting on having one's way only decoration of men? (Haraboh)

A: I used to believe that exact principle, but I guess the reality doesn't quite work that way. There seems to be many decorations out there. Rather, if you insist on having your way too much, sometimes it will cause conflicts, so please be careful with it. (Shiraishi)


I guess it's different from the time Shima Daisuke was at his best. Living sincerely could be our decoration these days.

We've got an order~.


Q: 100 Steel Swords. (A Wanna-be Brave Man)

A: Do I take this as a purchase inquiry?
I'm really, truly sorry. Let 100 aside, we cannot even order one. You may violate the Firearms and Swords Control Law, so I advice you to give up on purchasing any. (Shiraishi)


It's just impossible...

Many seem to seek advice for their love lately.


Q: Hello, Shiraishi-dono.
I'm concerned about something lately. I've been interested to this one girl from same major. I want to start a conversation with her, but what is the natural thing to talk about? (Anonymous)

A: There's no way likes of me, who is inexperienced, can think of a brilliant idea, so I asked my father when I got home. He thought of it for a while, and suggested to talk about Giants' games. He's a man of Showa Era (1926-1988).

If you think about it, if I post this up on the bulletin board, the girl in question will know your plot. The true charm of a love is the tactics. Please enjoy yours with your originality. (Shiraishi)


By looking at the wordings, Shiraishi-san him/herself sounds like a man/woman of Showa era. His/her father is pretty good at it, too.

We finally got an inquiry that suits COOP.


Q: I want a car. Please sell it. (Yazawa Hiroyuki)

A: Thank you for the request. Though, COOP does not take care of car sales. FYI, we sell a book called "The Definitive Edition of Choosing My Newest Car," so if that helps you in any way, I'd be more than happy. (Shiraishi)


Shiraishi-san is advertising the merchandise with nonchalance...

Continuing from yesterday, there was a question about "Street Fighter" today. I wonder if the students are more interested in games than their meals? By the way, I'm much more interested in today's lunch, lol.


Q: Eeerm, please tell me the power of Hadou-ken! (Gaza-kun)

A: I'm not familiar with the term Hadou-ken, so I did a search on the Internet. It gave me a difficult report on "Resonance Diffusion Process of High Energy Electron by Wave Motion" or something similar. No wonder you are a science student. Though, I didn't get what "Hadou-ken" mean after all. Please tell me next time. (Shiraishi)


I want to confirm just in case, but this is a card that COOP gathers opinions against COOP. Shiraishi-san, who looked up the Internet, is a great person. And I'm very interested in the site that explained "Hadou-ken" with such a difficult word...


By the way, what's the difference between Hadou-ken and Kamehame-ha?

A certain individual is secretly gaining popularity on the Internet society.

"Seikyou no Shiraishi-san (Shiraishi-san working in the COOP)."

S/he is an employee of COOP at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology; just another average individual. Though, once one site mentioned about him/her, s/he has become popular. The very site's server was overwhelmed and the rumor says the site was forced closure and/or relocation. Currently, if you search on "生協の白石さん" on Google, you will see more than 1040 results. Why has s/he become so popular?

In the COOP of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, there exists an "Opinion Card" that collects opinions for COOP's cafeteria and school store. Students usually writes about how they feel about COOP, think of it, and other complaints. It's a so-called opinion box. However, students write about random things at times. Generally, people wouldn't bother to respond such opinion cards if it's an obvious joke. That's the best way possible and natural thing to do. Though, it is "Seikyou no Shiraishi-san" that answers seriously to such jokes.


Here is an example:


Q: Who is stronger: Ryu or Ken?
I bet it's the same! (Unko-man)

A: I wonder whom you meant by Ryu and Ken. (Are they characters from Manga or something...?) My speculation never ends, but if you meant Ryu Raita and Matsudaira Ken, I believe Ryu Raita's physical strength is stronger at their golden age.


Something like that.


This blog will support "Seikyou no Shiraishi-san" entirely until "Seikyou no Shiraishi-san" gives us a complaint. Our goal is to let everyone out there know about "Seikyou no Shiraishi-san." By the way, identity of "Seikyou no Shiraishi-san" is yet to be confirmed. We don't even know the gender. The administrator will be investigating the matter.

Now, let us support "Seikyou no Shiraishi-san" to the fullest!

This site consists a translation of http://shiraishi.seesaa.net/, the original Japanese site. The translator, oceanizer will be slowly working on its translations. He has not yet to get a permission from the original site's owner nor Shiraishi-san, but email has been sent. Just waiting for now.

By the way, Shiraishi-san's identity is not confirmed, but it will be revealed on later posts, so I won't mention about it this time. When searching on Google, we'll get 2,030,000 hits for 生協の白石さん now.
