There were no musical instruments, bands or singers on the stage at the open-air event. In the spotlight, there was only a DJ with a headphone playing music. Over 40,000 people had their hands in the air and were dancing to the music. It was my first time at a huge electric dance music event called “Ultra Japan 2016” in Odaiba, Tokyo. When the electronic piano was first sold a long time ago, some professional musicians refused to play it because they thought they would lose their job. Now we are really in a new era of music. All you need for a concert is a DJ! (written by a reader, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

How many Disney theme parks are there in the world? Until today, there were five. The first Disneyland was built near Los Angeles in Southern California in 1955. Then they built Disney World in Orlando, Florida, in 1971. It is by far the biggest resort. Tokyo Disneyland was the first Disneyland outside the U.S.A. It opened in 1983. The first Disneyland in Europe was built near Paris in 1992. Then Hong Kong Disneyland opened in 2005. On June 16, Disney opened its newest resort in Shanghai, China. It is more than twice the size of the Tokyo resort. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
