  • wanted for murder

    As I’ve been constantly looking for an apartment online, I found a
    pretty good one again. It’s located by a lake near Mt. Fuji and it’s
    spacious, furnished and Western-style. Usually, this kind of property is
    far above my price range, but this one is discounted considerably so
    that it dove into my range. The catch is that the building is very old
    by Japanese standards. It’s 36 years old. Still, it’s the most gorgeous
    place I could possibly afford. I gathered information about the area,
    such as the climate, restaurants, shops and most importantly, the train
    and bus schedules because I don’t have a car. I decided to go to look at
    the room and sent an e-mail to the real estate company for an
    appointment. Meanwhile, I bought a train schedule book and made a
    precise plane to go there as a weekend trip. A reply from the real
    estate company included the more detailed information about the
    apartment. Because it’s old, the water pipes may give out at any moment.
    The boiler is broken, too. To finish up, one of the residents is wanted
    for murder. It’s not the one again…or, is it…?

  • Star Festival

    Today is the Star Festival in Japan. It’s based on a forbidden love
    story between Altair and Vega, who are allowed to meet each other by
    crossing the Milky Way once a year on the seventh of July. We celebrate
    it by decorating a bamboo tree with paper ornaments. Among the ornaments
    are slips of colored paper on which we write our wishes. After the
    festival, they are taken into a river that is believed to be connected
    to the Milky Way for this particular occasion, where the written wishes
    come true. The last time I wrote my wish and floated the slip into a
    river was when I was nineteen. Since I had already started my career as a
    singer-songwriter, I wished to be successful someday. It seems that my
    wish slip hasn’t reached the Milky Way yet in spite of this many years’
    traveling…

  • A doctor or a minister

     When it comes to an
    election, I always remember Mr. Goyude. He was a local politician in my
    hometown. I often saw him outside the elementary school I went to,
    waving and talking to kids. He would hand out his cards to kids, saying
    ‘Say hello to your parents for me!’ Some foolish kids boasted about
    getting his autograph or shaking his hand. Every time I saw Mr. Goyude, I
    felt pitiful for him. Japanese people say ‘A doctor or a minister,
    which will you become?’ when they admire a promising child. Our family’s
    next-door neighbor used to say it to me and each time, I hoped not to
    be a minister because to become one, the process seemed so sad and
    miserable. Now I’ve grown up and I became neither a doctor nor a
    minister…
