6th August in Hiroshima

Today is very special day for Hiroshima.

We remember the great human tragedy that occurred in this beautiful city on that fateful day in 1945.

Today I went to see the Peace memorial ceremony.

I paid one minute's silent tribute to Atomic Bomb Victims. 

I prayed

No more Hiroshima,

No more Nagasaki,

and

No more Fukushima.

I hope that People all over the world can live peacefully.

Atomic Bomb dorm. 

Let's KY !

I hate the word KY.

"KY" is  for short "Kuuki wo Yomenai hito" in Japanese.

"Kuuki wo Yomenai hito"  means "Person who can't read the atmosphere"

This word is expressed a negative trait of the Japanese very well.

At school, work, home, family, community,

We may feel invisible pressure to "Read the atmosphere".

The pressure of "Reading the atmosphere"  is very scary.

Many Japanese people do not allow KY.

KY is bullied, depressed, and in the the worst case, choose death.

One of the most important skills to survive in Japanese society is reading the atmosphere. 

Doing the same thing, same hobby, watching the same TV show.

For example,

Japanese Recruitment Suit. 

In the job search, companies do not request students to wear a recruitment suit.

But students read the atmosphere. 

and they choose to wear the recruitment suit voluntarily.

I was always frightened whenever I watch the news of the initiation ceremony.

Because all new recruits wear the same suits.

Is this my country?

Is this Cultural Revolution in China?

Is this North Korea?

No, This is our country.

However, let's think deeply.

People who changed the world, 

People who are successful,

I strongly believe that they are KY.

Edison ,Einstein, Bill Gates, John Lennon, Lady GAGA, etc, etc.

Let's think about the first person who ate sea cucumber.

I strongly believe he is a KY.

Thanks KY!

We can eat a sea cucumber.

Life is very short.

But we spend a lot of time thinking about other people.

We don't have free time to think about other people.

Steve Jobs, Apple's founder said

Your time is limited, 

so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Don't be trapped by dogma 

- which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.

And, LADY GAGA is sing in "Born this way"

 I'm on the right track
 I was born to be brave
 I was born this way

Don't deny KY. 

Let's create a diverse and interesting society together.

That way, the world will be more fun.

the world should improve more.

Well, Let's KY!

Our birthday

Many people celebrated our birthday on twitter and facebook. 

Everyone, thank you.

At 9th of July, I became 41 years old.

And my wife's birthday was 10th of July.

What a coincidence !

We are an economical couple because our birthday parties are held at one time.

So, this year, we enjoyed dinner at an Italian restaurant. 

"il Gabbiano" in Naka-ku, Hiroshima city

★ Main Dish 

Lemon and capers sauteed snapper sources 

Beef in red wine

And, a special birthday dessert.

Well, I hope to have a such dinner once in a while.

At the age 41, 

Maybe I have passed halfway in my life.

So I will do anything without regret.

This year,

I hope to find something to devote the rest of my life to !
 

 

GAGA

In spite of being a 41 years old man, 

Recently I got hooked on Lady Gaga.

In spite of being a 41 years old man, 

I bought a SAVE JAPAN T-shirt designed by Gaga at UNIQLO the most popular clothing shop in Japan. 

I am not cool in spite of wearing this awesome T-shirt.  lol

I expressed a heart mark in this picture.

I sent this picture to Gaga on Facebook. 

I wish for a response from Gaga.

By the way,

Up until now I didn't like music like hers. 

But recently I like her music. 

Because I feel the rock'n roll spirit from her.

While Rock'n roll is getting older and becoming more conservative,

Gaga has a strong rock'n roll spirit in spite of being a pop star because of her attitude towards society and the world.

She is not only on the side of the minority but is also a person who believes in love and peace.
