What vaccinations are required for my child's enrollment?
Chickenpox ・ ・ ・ I was vaccinated once as a child and then contracted the disease. "I saw a notation that ""Had Disease" is not acceptable", but what exactly should I do? ？
Tuberculin ・ ・ ・ Should I have it tested and certified in Japan before traveling? ？

I guess you have not yet traveled ？

The fastest way is to show the following documents to your family doctor in Japan and ask him or her to type the missing information and provide you with a certificate.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18_Duf7cmaYp5tcZxPJoY7ig45Hnxw2sv/view （ This is from Irvine, but the required requirements are consistent with California public schools ）
.
It is best to have the certificate issued in English, if possible.
You can google "Immunization records example" or similar to find a template for the form.

In the worst case scenario, it is possible to get a blood test → at a local hospital after arriving in the U.S. to prove the vaccine, but it is better to do everything you can in Japan and use it as a last resort if it does not work.

This is an experience from another state almost 15 years ago, but ours was fine with it because the mother-child handbook has an English translation of the vaccinations.

When we were going to enroll in elementary school, they used our MCH handbook as an official record. The school nurse rewrote the form in this booklet to make it easier for me, and I got her signature, so I have been using it since then. I have been using the color copy since then because it would be troublesome if I lose the original.
The date on the doctor's stamp was Heisei, so I remember the nurse asked me when it was in the western calendar.　 I had done everything in Japan, but I was missing some kinds to enter a school here, so I had a summary typing done for free at a place run by the Health Department and got the record. I think the school can tell you where to go.

If the tuberculin test is positive, you will have to have a blood test or lung x-ray to prove that you don't "currently" have TB, so even if you get the proof in advance, it may not be very useful after all.
I don't think a tuberculin certificate is necessary for elementary school entry. We didn't need it either until my daughter worked in a hospital.

My daughter and I both work in the medical field, and a lot of people who had BCG in their home countries work in the US, so we are all used to it. Sometimes they skip that test and do a blood test or an x-ray because they are sure it will be positive.

If I did tuberculin, it would be positive, so I would have to get an x-ray every time and it would cost a lot of money.

Please let me know.
I recently signed up for Spectrum wifi, received a modem from Spectrum, and now I'm ready to use it, but I'm having a lot of trouble with video and internet because it's so slow.
The plan is the cheapest wifi only plan with a speed of 200mbps.
For those of you who use spectrum, are you able to get a crisp 200mbps? ？
As for what I use, I watch Amazon Prime and YouTube on my smart TV for about 6 hours, and
I occasionally use my computer for video calls.
I guess it depends on the apartment I live in, but please let me know if I should increase my plan to 400mbps for this or if I should buy my own modem to get a crisp 200mbps.
I am not very good with machines.

I am a COX user, so it may be a little different, but I will share what knowledge I have.
For now, please check the effective speed with a speed test. If you google "speed test", you can find the measurement site.
If the effective speed is close to 200mbps, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
However, if there are many devices using the same line at the same time, they will all share the line, which will slow it down. For example, during the time when many remote workers in the neighborhood use it.
Also, if there are a lot of devices connected to wifi in y's home, it will slow down. This depends on the performance of your router （ and the number of simultaneously connected devices ）.
I have also experienced slowdowns due to the increase in the number of cell phones, game consoles, and other devices connected, so I have added more access points to my home.
I'm sorry, I don't know any more, but please help me if you know more.

However, in the case of your son, it may be the case of "special circumstances", but he should need a VISA for a short stay. So, I think it would be a good idea to contact the consulate with jurisdiction.

If there is a wedding, funeral, or visit to a seriously ill family member in Japan, or if Kyorokyoro, a Japanese citizen, is returning to Japan even for a short period of time, the U.S. citizen's child can enter Japan with the consulate's permission. As #2 said, you should consult with the consulate in your area. I am not sure up to what age they are treated as "children".

First of all, what about your Japanese nationality ？ If it has not been revoked by you, you can resume your resident registration.
Then you will be charged resident tax and social insurance premiums. Therefore, we recommend that you use a relative or other person's home as your address. Resident tax is zero if you have no income in Japan. Social security will pay the minimum amount, but it is not a large amount.
Do you want an account in Japan that badly? ？ Also, the US will ask you every year on your TAX application if you have an account overseas.
If you want to withdraw money from your US account in Japan, you can do so at a post office ATM or 711.

Foreigners cannot open an account without proof of residence.

First of all, where is your place of residence? If you have an address in Illinois, and that is where you will be living, then you can stay there. If it is less expensive to do so.
However, there is a definition of residence. If you reside in California, your car should be registered in California.
The easiest answer is what state is your TAX ？ If I remember correctly, if you reside in California for more than 3 consecutive months, you should register in California.
The most important thing is whether you have an address in Illinois. Also, do you want to apply for TAX with that as your place of residence?
A common case is people who have homes in both NY and Florida. They make good use of it there.

My sister-in-law is lamenting that her nephew has become addicted to beef tongue and is going out to eat it so often that the family budget is collapsing. I suddenly thought to look for it and realized that it is surprisingly hard to get beef tongue at stores.

They don't even have it in Costco's vendor stores. Where can I buy it ？ Please tell me where I can buy it other than online ！.

The prices are the same in all US supermarkets, no matter which store you go to.

The other day, the price of an item I bought at a Japanese-affiliated supermarket in Costa Mesa was different from the price at a store in the same family in Gardena (the smaller one). It wasn't an advertised product, but it was cheaper. I felt like I lost something.
Other products also have different prices ？ ！ Some are expensive, some are cheap.
