Believe it or not, Apr 1 is the very beginning of the New Fiscal Year here in Japan and...

I hear there were so many joining & entering ceremonies in both enterprises & universities nationwide, say, I believe the bulk of freshmen have taken off the ground despite today is Sunday.


Besides, what I've told you before is, April can be associated with many beautiful flowers around, to say nothing of サクラ that represents Spring as well as the meaning of hope across the board.
Have a look at one of my blog archives that describes about the theme^^


Hooked on “Sakura”?

And also...for your better understand, I'll show you the related song that is called SAKURA



This is the footage of Sakura, and hope u like it ^^


An year passed by after that disaster though I sincerely hope things are looking up to those who live in stricken area, and Sakura does comfort them & cheer them up !
Well, that's all I wanted to say...GANBATTE KUDASAI !

Do not forget 2:46 PM !!

Many of you folks might have already known, since Newspaper or TV reported in a large way. 


To say it precisely, an year anniversary will come in less than the net 20 hours, which was so “rampageous event” that had generated at 2:46 PM on Friday, March 11 in 2011. 


It is namely   2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.


Come to think of it, looks everything around me has changed completely during the last 1 year. 
Already an year passed by・・ 【A Various Scenes】 are flashed back in rapid succession. 
And of course, I've lost lots of things as well.


I'll express my condolences from the bottom of my heart to those who had unfortunately lost lives on the ground that there was huge catastrophe, or in relation to the power plant. 
We have no words to say, and we can't do anything for you either.   


And to our beloved folks, we're very sorry to say but...here are our pledge right in front of an year anniversary that we'll live with all our might each day in stead of you.

Why not turn over a new leaf in 2012???

I know I’m just procrastinating & I have yet to take off the ground…What I mean is I can’t come up with the ideas on what to bring up as a topic for the New Year’s Day…

But anyway,  A HAPPY HAPPY 2012, Viewers!

Indeed, New Year has begun…hahaha!

Last night, I went to ODAIBA (TOKYO BAYFRONT) to see countdown and catch a glimpse of stunning view, namely the Statue of Liberty , Rainbow Bridge or whatever, and it was indeed my first time to be there…LOL

I’ve just explored more a lot as if I were a foreigner as I mentioned on some SNS… Yes I must admit there are such a many places that I haven’t visited even in Tokyo Area! Really shamefully enough to say, the thing is EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE and can’t easily to drop by (-_-ﾒ)

Apart from its exceedingly high price, better I turn my eyes more onto internal rather than external, as I’ve been abroad quite a few as you already knew…Including United States of America where I have lived for a couple of years back in late 70s…there are totally 15 countries & regions which I have been so far.

Sorry, I just went off on a tangent quite a bit…but hey… this is my year…!!

My CHINESE ZODIAC IS DRAGON…So wish all my dreams come true at any rate!

January 1^st is the very beginning of the New Year, according to our saying;

New Year’s Day is the key of the year or in original Japanese;

一年の計は元旦にあり

It might sound too conventional to say but…why not turn over a new leaf & do what we can from this day onward, shall we???

Sincerely hope a best of luck to you all & enjoy 2012!!

Cheers,

Take 

A Very Merry Christmas & wishing U all have A HAPPY2012^^

Hi, it's been a long time & how have you been viewers?

Indeed, 2 days earlier before the real Christmas (12/25), but I dare say Merry Christmas!

I thought I do want to update my blog by all means, sorry, I know it is seemingly farfetched LOL

When I look back 2011, I think it was really a drastic year in a certain way!

Although many things happened to me personally, what I wanted to say the first & foremost is the event that took place internal and external!

The huge calamity which stroke us in Mar as well as the problem of Fukushima Power Plant, the thing that the number of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families had already reached 2.05 millions, or US Dollar dropped below the level of 76 Japanese Yen…

In overseas, Osama bin Laden, Gaddafi were killed, Kim Jong-il died of sickness…  　

An economic collapse of Greece has spread onto Spain, Portugal or Italy, and Euro itself is now in jeopardy of disruption. Or the flood of Bangkok Thailand...innumerable things happened this year　(-_-ﾒ)

Whereas 3 years had already passed since the world has been in utter Chaos after the Bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers took place in autumn 2008, yet the perspective of recovery in a whole world still remains to be seen (-_-ﾒ)

As 2012 is coming right up ahead, I sincerely wish all countries including Japan do make endeavors one another & try to make it better. Moreover, I do hope Terrorism & War would be eradicated!

Okay everyone! Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

Dear daddy!

Dear my dad,
Today is your birthday, you turned to 77 if you were alive...As you know, 77 has a special meaning in our society, which is derived from Chinese characters, namely “寿” and 77 could also be written as “七十七” in Kanji as well.　Both “寿” & “七十七” are just alike.

And also what I must not forget is today is the 48 th anniversary of your wedding ―  on the same day in 1963, you and mom got married. At that time, you were 29 and my mom was 24...you guys were supposedly a very young & nice couples...hehehe^^

And the next year...I was born... I know you loved me an awful lot at least before sis MARIKO (1971-2002) was born. And you said I was so cute when I was a little boy...lol

In my school days, you've beaten up against me and played a role of stern father, while you played a role of gentle dad to my sis. It is just because I was a boy and sis was a girl. You've never beaten up against her...I was always the “victim”, it's just a sarcasm, dad...sorry yah^^

But on the other hand, you showed me gentleness from time to time as I've introduced on the previous post.

http://take-is-here.blogspot.com/2005/03/very-last-my-introduction-all-about-my.html

Dad, I always feel sorry, coz I'm the one that made my mom feel sick. She's now in hospitalization quite a long time as I've reported at your cemetery in the end of May...

http://take-is-here.blogspot.com/2010/07/just-single-blowbut-totally-pissed-off.html

I'm now working harder than ever to retrieve things back on course. In the meantime, I see mom periodically, but she is not satisfied at all. Rather she feel isolated all the time, but she doesn't say she wants to come home as she used to. It seems she's giving up her life, it's all my fault, I'm the one to be blamed for.

After sis MARIKO passed away, I had to be saddled with everything I was involved including mom's issue. But don't get me wrong dad! I don't intend to make complaints, rather I feel I have to make up for everything that I had done to you & your wife TOMOKO...

Okay I'll turn over a new leaf just as you had told me at the last minute God rest your soul, dad!

And thank you so much for letting me remember your birthday & recalling the blissful times we had spent in the United States! It is thankful that you're always watching us affectionately from the heaven...

ARIGATOU OTOSAN (ありがとう、おとうさん）

In the Health & Sports Day,
Your son,

Take
