We did it!
The World Cup started in South Africa. Japan is one of the team in Group E. Everybody thought Japan is the most lowest ability team in this group. Many Japanese also thought same thing.
But, but, but... Japan beat Cameroon at first game against all expectations!!
In fact, I had a hunch that Japan will win before the game starts. Because I felt there is no unity among Cameroon. And my hunch was right!
Our hero is Keisuke Honda has played soccer in Russia. He will become a savor for Japan. Watch this movie! This is Honda!
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL!!
Next game is against Holland. Holland is stronger than Cameroon. But I believe Japan's victory. Because Honda had played in Holland before Russia. He knows Holland well. He will surely get goals again.

"HAYABUSA" Back To The Earth
Do you notice Google's logo changes?
This is "HAYABUSA", a probe of Japan.
His voyage finishes tonight.
He drops a capsule on the earth, and after that, he burns out in the atmosphere.
This thought is quite Japanese way, many Japanese feel "HAYABUSA" got a soul.
So, we'll say to him, "Welcome home, you're a really big guy!".
We never forget you, HAYABUSA.

HAYABUSA -The Final Approach-
This is "HAYABUSA", a probe of Japan.
Many many accidents attacked "HAYABUSA" during voyage, but a lot of efforts and ideas of stuffs help him. And "HAYABUSA" completely responded to their requests. It's just a miracle.Outline of HAYABUSA
Asteroids are thought to be celestial bodies that preserve information from the time of the Solar System's formation. If we collect a sample from an asteroid and bring it back to Earth to carry out precise research on it, we can gain some
precious clues to understand the origin and evolution of the Solar System.Bringing back a sample from a celestial body in the Solar System is called "Sample Return." "HAYABUSA" is a probe to verify the practicality of acquired technology developed to archive future full-scale "sample return missions."
"HAYABUSA' was launched aboard the M-V Launch Vehicle on May 9,2003. It was accelerated by a swing-by of the Earth in May 2004 and reached its target Asteroid Itokawa on September 12,2005, after traveling about 2 billion kilometers. in September and October that year, "HAYABUSA" completed the most remote-sensing and measurement of the geometry of Itokawa and made two landings in November to collect a sample from Itakawa.

A Depression of Valentine's Day
Today is Valentine's Day. There are many customs for Valentine's Day in the world, of course, Japan has an original custom. It is very very sweet.
In Japan, woman tells man her affection with chocolate at Valentine's Day. So Japanese women buy expensive chocolate at celebrated shop, or make original chocolate by themselves at home before Valentine's Day. Therefore, every dental clinic is full of good-looking guys after Valentine's day in Japan.
And there is an another strange custom about Valentine's Day. It is "GIRI CHOCO" system.
"GIRI" means duty or obligation, but I can't explain the essence. "GIRI" is one of Japanese original concept.
"GIRI CHOCO" system is that women give chocolate to men who are mere friends, co-workers or classmates. This system helps many many lonely men. Of course, I will be also helped this system in this year...
Is there a woman who gives me chocolate, not "GIRI"?

The Rye Will Stay in My Soul Forever
I was shocked by one news.
It's J.D.Salinger's death. Because, my most loved novel is "The Catcher in the Rye".
When I read "The Catcher in the Rye" first, I was a high school student. It's about 25 years ago.
But, I'll never forget the impact, impression and sympathy for "Holden".
In fact, I read his story for many times. Of course, I'll read it for many times after this.
I think Holden may be Salinger. Or, Salinger may be Holden?
May his soul rest in peace.
「ライ麦畑は永遠に僕の心の中にある」
先日、ショックなニュースを聞いた。
サリンジャーの死だ。なぜなら、僕の一番好きな小説が「ライ麦畑でつかまえて」だから。
「ライ麦」を最初に読んだのは、僕が高校生のときだった。２５年前のことだ。
でも、“ホールデン”に対する衝撃や感動や共感は、決して忘れることができない。
事実、彼のストーリーは何度も読んだし、これからも何度も読むと思う。
僕は、ホールデンはサリンジャーじゃないかって思う。それか、サリンジャーはホールデンになりたかったのかもね。
彼のご冥福をお祈りします。

AKEOME!
Good by 2009 and welcome 2010!
"Akeome" is the informal greeting at New Year's Day in Japan and it means "Happy New Year". We have the custom of sending New Year's cards said "Nengajo" at New Year's Day.
Exactly I'd send it. And this is my Nengajo.
Wow! That's so simple! Ha ha...
2010 is the year of the Tiger, so I used three colors symbolize the tiger: yellow, black and white.
2009 was the unforgettable year for me. How about 2009 for you?
I wish you a lot of happiness in 2010.

I should have written a few posts in November. Why aren't they here?

「？？？」
僕の最近のポストはどこ？
11月にいくつか書いたはずだけど。なんで無いの？なんで？？
確かにコメントもいくつかもらったのに。なんで？
