Crunch Underfoot

Frost formed on the ground in the morning.

It's my pleasure to crunch along the frost road. (≧ν≦)

Manhattan Clam Chowder

I found this new product in LAWSON.

Manhattan Clam Chowder!!


It's just like a minestrone!




Tastes terrific!! (^o^)

Treat my Grandma

I went to a soba restaurant near my house with my grandma, and there I treated her for the first time in my life.


She was so surprised and seemed to be happy.


And of course I was happy, too.





I'd like to use money for someone's smile. (^^)

Dead or School

The following video shows a group of Indonesian school children crossing a collapsed suspension bridge over a swollen river to get to their school.

It must be the world's most dangerous school run.


Children go to school at the risk of their lives every day.



Is school more precious than their lives...? (^o^;)

Yuki Abe return to Urawa Reds

I've longed for this moment.


Former Urawa Reds midfielder Yuki Abe returned to our homeland from Leicester City.

I think it must have been a hard decision for him to be back to Urawa Reds.


And some naughty boys may annoy him in the present team.





But I really want to say, "Thank you for coming back to Urawa!!" ＼(^o^)／

First Snow 2012

It's snowing now.

I really like to step on the white carpet!!

I also like to look up at the sky to see snow crystals.

Trees are dressed in white.


Why does snow excite me so much...? (^^)

Makino to join Urawa on loan

Urawa Reds newcomers appeared in a new uniform at Saitama stadium last Thursday.

Especially I look forward to seeing Japan's defender Tomoaki Makino, who joined the team on loan from Cologne.


My hope is that new Reds will bring us a stunning turnaround in 2012 season, so I expect a lot of Makino.






Anyway, the design of the new uniform is awful...
