Mampei Hotel of Karuizawa, where John Lennon stayed
Today one of my dreams came true. I visited Mampei Hotel in Karuizawa, this is the hotel which my idol, John Lennon, would stay. Living in Japan, it's not that hard to come here to touch his footprints in Japan, but I didn't have a chance for it since I came to know about this hotel's relation with John Lennon. I walked in the hotel and [...]
Something’s telling me how…
Yesterday, Tokyo electricity company, Tokyo Denryoku, Inc., showed " road map" to the recovery from nuclear power plant accident. It says they will try to control the broken plant by cooling down within 3 months, which should be just the beginning of recovery step. After that, it also says that they will need another 3 to 6 months to keep them [...]
When can our hearts sing again ??
Today it was really like the start of new Spring time. Sun was shining bright and the wind was freshly warm. Driving through the highways, I saw cherry tree lines with beautiful white flowers. It's the typical Japanese Spring. One thing that brings me back to moody mind is the ongoing problem of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. However, what [...]
Can our destiny sometimes be happy ?
Seeing a lot of people dying or suffering from injury by the earthquake and tsunami is really a hard experience for me too. Living life until we die is certainly important and maybe it's a given destiny from our birth. But a question of why we people need to stand such a test is still unclear and we can't get reasonable asnwer until we [...]
The devastating Tsunami in Japan
Probably most of the Japanese expected that someday a big earthquake would happen somewhere in Japan as it's a common sense that Japan is an earthquake type country. Japan is a kind of mountain stream on the pan-pacific ocean. We always had some kind of preparation in mind for the would-be disaster. But this time earthquake and tsunami was [...]
I live in Fukushima, the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant State
There are 47 prefectures in Japan, and Fukushima is one of the prefectures ( states ) in Japan. There is the Fukushima nuclear power plant in this Fukushima prefecture. And I live in this Fukushima prefecture. Where I live is not that near to this spot, it's about 80 kilometers away. 20 to 30 kilometers places from this sport is set as [...]
Andreanof’s death brought us sadness
I well remember this person, Nicoly Andreanof ( unsure about his name spell) in Russian, it's Николай Ефимович Андрианов. He competed with Japanese gymnasts through some Olympic games of Munich or Montreal, and often he won in the competition of gymnastics to get gold medals. When we were seeing the matches on TV, he [...]

19 year old RYO Ishikawa is already the top golf player in Japan. He today announced that he would give all of his prize money of this golf season to victims of Japanese earthquake this time. It means he would probably supply over 1 million US dollars to them as donation. last year and 2 years ago, he made more than 1 million dollar prize [...]
Thank you for you support. Japan will carry on to recover from the ruins.
Today again, I will have to write about Japanese earthquake. I've experienced a lot of earthquakes through my life, but I can't remember each of them because the impact on my life was not that big. Kobe got damaged, Niigata got damaged, and Sendai also got damaged in the past by the earthquake. It's certain that all the victims were sad and we [...]
Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Power Plant damage in Japan
I'm melancholic now. Before this crazy disaster, I'm dissapointed with the fact I can't do anything. I've been to the coast area of this tsunami disaster several times, and the beautiful scenes of ocean and old towns moved me. People of these places are extremely nice. They live for the rest of Japanese by sailing ships to the ocean to catch [...]
