In English: Life is going
When I talk to people these days, I feel like there isn’t much to talk about. I haven’t gotten into a routine per se. It’s just that I’m getting even more used to Japan and my life here. Things are rather ordinary, though of course everything is fun and good. Lately, I have an itch to learn karate, but I don’t want to take classes with mainly children. Having to spar with children would make me feel uneasy. What would be worse is if I were to get beaten up! As usual, I have lots of stuff I want to do but no time to do them all.

There are plenty of movies I want to see. I need to prepare my costume for the summer comiket. There are trips that need to be ironed out. Language application and learning is picking up again. I have a manga title I want to buy. These are recurring objectives, so there should be no surprises unless you are a complete stranger.

School is going well. The past few weeks have been busy, but most of the students are trying hard so I am happy. I’ve been feeling like my purpose in Japan to spread cultural awareness is being fulfilled. Here’s to providing a positive impact on everyone!

En français: Lire
Je lis le livre «Le Liseur». La prof de français dans le lycée me le prêtait. J’ai besoin du dictionnaire bien sûr. Pourtant, je suis content que je peux le comprendre. Est-ce que vous savez? Récemment, il y a un film anglais avec le même titre: «The Reader». Je ne regardais pas le film, mais je veux le regarder.

日本語で: ライブ
6月3日(水)にMONOBRIGHTのライブに行った。名古屋市矢場町のクラブクアトロにあった。MONOBRIGHTを知っている?JROCKのバンドだよ。矢場町に行った時ライブハウスを探さなかった。始めの10分前だったから、やばいと思った。末に5分前に探した。デパートの中にある。吃驚した!とにかくライブは豪快だった。「アナタMAGIC」が好き。このPVを見て…



世界も涙も強さも忘れて
素敵なあなたに歌われたいよ

僕の歌の中にはありふれた嘘つきだけが
心を動かそうとしている
だけど知っているんだ魔物は心の中だよ
臆病な自分だけが答えか?

世界も涙も強さも忘れて
素敵なあなたに歌われたいよ

僕の歌の中には大人のような子供のような
不安をごまかそうとしている
だけど知っているんだみんなも同じ穴の中
一人じゃ探せないよ答えだ!

世界も涙も強さも忘れて
素敵なあなたに歌われたいよ
世界も涙も強さも忘れて
素敵なあなたに笑われたいよ
(2X)

メラメラしたいよキラキラしたいよ
僕には見えないアナタMAGIC

今週の聖書の詩: “Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”
- Psalm 95:1-2 (NIV)

今週の写真: Hiroshima Peace Park -- It was depressing indeed, but it was good to see. The park and the museum did not place any blame. There didn't seem to be any hatred expressed. All the exhibits tried to stay neutral. The focus was truly about peace and ending all war.

A-Bomb Dome -- After USA dropped the first atomic bomb, this is one of the few buildings with part of its structure left upright. It has been kept in this condition since the impact.

Paper cranes

Monument -- can you see the hands in the center?

8:15 -- the time the bomb was dropped
