The other day, I went to get my car's oil changed. While I was sitting in the waiting room, a young mechanic approached me. "Huh, did something happen?" I thought, and asked him what was going on.
"Um, the oil filler cap (where you pour the oil) is broken, and I can't proceed with the work unless we replace it."
"Seriously?"

...Drugs? Crime? Scary, isn't it. The street price is how much? Scary. The yakuza connection? If you get caught, your life is ruined, isn't it. A street check? Scary.
Of course, I live in Japan now, so I don't do it.
I'm writing this blog hoping that someday you'll read it.
I'm also writing while recalling various things that have happened so far.

There are good tears and bad tears.
When my daughter cries because she's trying her best to communicate with her limited vocabulary, or when she cries because she's in pain, I tell her, "Absolutely do not cry!"

Updated the gym wall for Rikkyo University's American Football team.
Of the three walls, one was made into a wall where this year's slogan, the names of the fourth-year students, and their thoughts could be written.
The near future I often dream of. Looking at this reminds me. I keep looking back at that time. It was evening, the wind stopped, the sea surface became beautiful, and I went surfing. That was San Diego. Looking at the Pacific Ocean alone, I wonder how those people are doing.

Some people might fear that saying such things promotes "division." But then I think, what is "diversity"? It doesn't add up.

What I've felt as an artist is that I'm inherently introverted. However, I've had few opportunities in my life to be introverted. I didn't even realize it myself. But then there came a moment when I thought, "I'm so tired! I can't take it anymore!"

Simply put, how about the idea of making guns prohibitively expensive?
Saying that guns are nonsense won't change anything, and I, as a foreigner, have no right to take away the rights of the people of that country.

A painting I drew in Hawaii before.
The literal translation might be "Daddy longlegs spider," but it seems to be different from the Opiliones. I found it interesting when I looked it up before.

Today, I went into a barber shop I didn't know. I have a buzz cut, so I don't really care where I get it cut. More than that, I wanted to get my beard shaved at a barber shop for the first time in a while.
The barber shop owner is an 85-year-old grandmother. We had a great conversation. Interesting old stories from before the war, during the war, and after the war were fun.
