I recommend that you listen to the music of BUMP OF CHICKEN, a Japanese band. Their name is strange for a native speaker of English, but their music is very nice! Especially Fujiwara, the band’s vocalist and guitarist, is gifted with a great talent as a singer, song writer, and guitar player.  If you have never listened to them, you should go to buy their CD’s and listen to them right now!!

Lake Biwa

Lake Biwa #1

Lake Biwa is the largest in Japan, and a very important source of water for the Kinki area. My home prefecture is Shiga, and I live near Lake Biwa. Sometimes when I think of it, I feel lonely.

The sunset is very beautiful. Deep orange gives me an emotion that I cannot describe. It is so wonderful sight!
