One discursive thing about Japanese I find interesting is that people often announce the type of speech they are about to do
for example, in my stand up at work the project manager always opens with "I would like to begin the daily meeting now"
or when a news segment begins it often opens with "I will now communicate the news"
Similarly the meeting ends with "Then, for today I would like to conclude the daily meeting. Thank you." and for the news, "This concludes the daily news"
