Hello!
Here are your themes:
How are you? Here is the support post I have told all of you about. I'm very sorry to post this late!
Here are your themes:
Nozomu - food culture (飲食の文化)
Naoki - gender issues (性別の問題)
Tomoyuki - weddings and marriage (結婚式、結婚)
Yayoi & Aoi - society, gender and culture (社会、性別、文化)
Ayumi - culture (文化)
Here are some ideas to think about for your topics:
Nozomu - think about two or three different food cultures around the world (outside of Japan). Why do people in these cultures eat the food they do? Why do they have the eating manners they do? (For example, why do people in some cultures eat with their hands, which some use chopsticks and others knives and forks?)
Here is a Wikipedia link to help you get started.
Naoki - gender issues (性別の問題) is a big area. Where do you want to focus on? In jobs, or education, or maybe in science or entertainment? Also what country? Japan, or another country?
Here are some ideas for you if you want to focus on women in Japanese society:
Tomoyuki - 結婚、結婚式にいろいろなこと、問題がある。どんなことの探りが思い、韓国の社会に結婚ことの探ることできる。次の韓国に、結婚話題のアイディアの進んで：
Yayoi & Aoi - society, gender and culture (社会、性別、文化) is also a big area. Here are some questions for you to think about:
How many women work in Japan compared to women in some other countries? (そのことは海外と日本の女性達が働いてことの比較する) What kinds of jobs do Japanese women often have? How about women in other countries? What problems do they have in the workplace? (勤務場所、職場に問題があるの) Also - what are the cultural expectations of women in Japan versus, for example, the U.S., China, or some other countries? (日本、アメリカ、中国や女性達は文化の義務、期待が何でしょ？)
Ayumi - your topic is culture. That's a really big area! You have to focus the topic. Japanese culture? American culture? Here's one idea:
Cultural differences in the same country. For example, for Japan, the Kansai and Okinawa, Chugoku and the Tohoku - maybe some differences in the same festivals, or same food in different areas (for example, Chugoku soba is different from soba in the Kanto).
In the U.S., the big eastern cities (such as New York, Boston, or Philadelphia) are very different from the southern states like Tennessee, Mississippi, or Georgia. There are different accents, different food dishes, some different celebrations, and even some different customs in the same holidays.
In the U.K., there are big differences between northern and southern England - also some different accents, different food, and so on. Scotland and Wales also - different in many ways from England.
I hope these ideas can help all of you!

Here are some ideas for you if you want to focus on women in Japanese society:
- Problems women have in Japanese society
- Successful women in Japanese society (such as in science, business, or education - you can also research on difficulties Japanese women have in these areas)
- Pioneering women in Japanese history (for example, Murasaki Shikibu, Saigou-no-Tsubone, Higuchi Chiyo, Haraguchi Tsuruko, Tsuda Umeko, etc.)
