Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Nintendo says it’s working on new ways to fight Pokémon card scalpers after many fans struggled to buy new releases. At Nintendo’s annual shareholder meeting, president Shuntaro Furukawa said the company is aware that demand is still higher than supply, even though The Pokémon Company printed around 10 billion Pokémon cards in 2025. Furukawa said Nintendo is working with The Pokémon Company to help get cards into the hands of real fans instead of resellers. “Nintendo also communicates with The Pokémon Company as needed to discuss appropriate ways to deliver products to consumers. We believe that The Pokémon Company will continue to take measures to respond to this issue.”
