Nobuhisa Yamada's 500th Game

Thirty thousand fans applauded wildly when Urawa's Ironman Nobuhisa Yamada appeared on the pitch in the 77 minute in the yesterday match against Kashiwa Reysol.

Nobuhisa Yamada is the only player in Japan who has played in one club for more than 20 years, and it was his 500th game in J-League.


I hope he will keep on doing ever after and make more legends.

Congratulations!! ＼(≧▽≦)／

Yosuke's Wedding Party

My friend Yosuke has got married, and had a wedding party in Osaka today.

Not only Yosuke himself but also his bride seemed so happy, which made me happy as well.


Thank you for inviting me, Yosuke!!


Happy Ever After... ＼(^▽^)／

School Trip in Nagasaki

I visited Nagasaki and Fukuoka last week as a school trip.


I've been to Nagasaki before, but it was my very first time to take part in a school trip as a teacher.


Nagasaki's night view was really nice.

I had a lot of chance to talk with students and other teachers through four days, which was the most valuable thing for me.


Especially, the experience that some of my students and I took a ride on a fishing boat was fantastic!!


This is the photo I took on the fishing boat.

I was so impressed with the beautiful view of the evening sun and the lighthouse.


This experience must have been a great memory for students.




As a teacher, I can learn many things from this school trip.


I'd like to provide more dramatic classes at school from now on.

Shimi Married Sonoko

The wonderful wedding party of my friend Shimi and Sonoko was held at the Altavista Garden in Saitama City today.

I started working at Eikoh just after Shimi had left, so we couldn't share enough time in university days.


When we played football at Urawa West High School, however, he treated me as if I'd been a good old friend with him.


Shimi is a really nice guy.


Absolutely his bride is the happiest one in the world.





Happy Wedding to the best couple, Shimi and Sonoko!!


May your life together be full of kindness, understanding and laughter. ＼(^▽^)／

2020 Tokyo Olympic

Tokyo has been chosen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games ahead of Istanbul and Madrid.

Tokyo overcame fears of the dangers of radiation-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, crippled by the March 2011 earthquake-tsunami disaster, about 250 kilometers northeast of the city to win the vote.


Prime Minister Shinzo Abe assured IOC members that the situation was under control.


He stressed "It has never done, and will never do, any damage to Tokyo."





I'm very proud that my country has been chosen.


And I hope this Olympic will help reconstruction of 2011 East Japan Earthquake.


Everybody in the world, please come and enjoy 2020 Tokyo Olympic!!

Suwayama-Sai

My new workplace Kawaguchi High School will hold its 50th festival on September 6 and 7.

Tomorrow is closed to the public, but please welcome on the second day.

Kawaguchi High School is famous for its Japanese calligraphy club, which was a model of the film "Shodo Girls."


And probably I'll be working with brass band club in the gym.


Come and enjoy students' performance on September 7!!

London Trip 2013

This was my first time to go abroad with my brother.


London I had wanted was just there as the same as last year.

In this trip, I visited Natural History Museum, London Aquarium, and Oxford, which was my very first place to study abroad.

 Natural History Museum 

London Aquarium 

Wadham College at Oxford, where I studied in the summer of high school 

It was a good vacation.


I'd like to tell students how wonderful England is in the following school term.
