Participants clad in traditional "happi" coats carry a "mikoshi," or portable shrine during a festival parade on a street near Yushima Tenjin shrine in Tokyo, on Sunday. The shrine, where the spirit of a renowned scholar is believed to be enshrined, receives a lot of students praying for success in the entrance exams which come in February and March in Japan.

The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” ― George Carlin

Pray for "innovation" not tests success & exams. Japan needs to change their thinking. Look at Japanese businesses / companies. The leadership needs a shot-in-the-arm becoming dynamic. Not outdated things like "tests" results.
