Hi, ladies!!
All of your comments are very interesting for me, and I can recognize some important point of view on those reviews. We are able to kill two birds with one stone, aren’t we?
As Plum mentioned before, some amazing athletes got medals at the Beijing Olympic Games, which really impressed us. I was specially moved by the wonderful performance of Kosuke Kitajima, who won the gold medal in the 100-meter swimming race, surprisingly for two successive championships. When he was interviewed after the race, unable to restrain any longer, tears gushed from his eyes. I couldn’t help weeping with him in sympathy. He must have overcome many difficulties in his hard days as a top swimmer. How beautiful tears of hard-workers are…
So, see you later. Good night, lovely friends…

Hi, everybody!
Now is the middle of the summer, which is a special exciting mad season for Japanese.
Why so special in spite of the uncomfortable time with high humid temperature?
Many exciting summer festivals have been held here and there all over Japan and luxurious fireworks have been setting off everyday somewhere. Many people are moving to their parents’ homes and ancestors’ graves. These are Japanese summer sceneries. That is to say that this is the time of reunion of living family members as well as souls of the past. To tell the truth, I was born in August, but I don’t like summer. Summer is, in a sense, a symbol of a life filled with active passion and energy. I, however, feel something sad. The media have kept on broadcasting a lot of progresses of Olympics games and the baseball games of High schools. I am, of course enjoying those programs. We can’t help being moved by dramatic scenes with their efforts, sweat and tears. Even though, I feel something a kind of mood coming soon after festivals.
But, please enjoy those summer events and the great world-wide festival in Beijing, friends.
Hi, friends,
It is Tuesday, August 12. Again my PC which had returned from the shop doesn’t work. Yesterday I had to call SONY and the person advised me to unplug the PC for discharging. I had to leave it unplugged for half a day. Then it started, but while using, it stopped again. The person I talked to next kindly instructed me, and it started working. But as soon as I put down the receiver, the vicious gadget hanged up AGAIN. I will call SONY to repair this morning. My new PC was in my son’s room when I came home. I have my PC retuned and start writing….
Today I went to Peace Aichi in Meito ward, where lots of war-related materials and items are exhibited. The completion of the building had long been wanted by the people who are in earnest in handing down the trageic stories about their experiences during the war. Numerous tragic stories about the air raid in Nagoya and surrounding areas are reported there.
Among those exhibitions, what drew my interest was a actual letter dropped by the US aircraft warning the next air raid. It reads in Japanese that the Japanese citizens should try to persuade the Japanese army to cease fire. They name about five towns including Takayama and say people living those areas should run away. What if I saw such a paper falling from the sky at war time! Terror and despair must overwhelm me. I'm sure I find myself in panic.
What was impressing next is their attitude to be fair; they also report the Nanjing massacre by the Japanese. I guess it is the fact which we should not forget.
The donation of one hundred million and the real estate by a woman realized the facility. The General mobilization orders or Chinese repatriates which I mentioned in my presentation in Aichi Seminar can be concreted to me.
Plum, thank you for encouraging me. So far, I have to wait for Starcat for three months. I will wait for the day with my heart heating.
I have to stop here. Good night, my dear friends. I'll be back!
