A Happy Flashback

When I was a little girl, maybe eight or nine years old, my father bought me a collection of children's literature. It contained a lot of translated foreign novels for children; "Heidi", "Little Women", "Anne of the Green Gables" and "Daddy-Long-Legs" etc.
I had been reading those favorite stories again and again, for hours after school, everyday. Heroines became my friends.
"What Katy Did" was one of them.

But as I grew up and developed other hobbies, I gradually forget about them.
When I turned twenty, I threw those books away, because I had to leave my home.

Heidi, Anne, Judy, and four sisters of "Little Woman" can often be seen in TV animation drama or movies, but not Katy. "What Katy Did" seems not so well known to Japanese children.

But yesterday, I happened to meet her again at the English paperback section in a large book store for the first time in more than three decades.

This paperback brought me to my good old days. I even recalled the illustrations in the book I read when I was eight years old.

I was struck by this happy flashback and about to cry.

Long time no see, Katy.

Coooool!!

This is my most favorite Japanese rock band "8otto."

I went to their live shows four times last year.

I like its groove, melody, and lyrics with a weird conbination of Japanese and English words.

But the most intresting thing about them is the variation of the members' hair style...

Anyway, I listen to this song at least once a day to cheer myself up.

Snow White Cat

Two months has passed since I opened my blog!
At last, I could post a readable diary.

Today, we had snow here. When I see snow, I can't resist my desire to create a snowman.

This is a masterpiece in my life! Named snow white cat. She had spent a whole day as my best friend and melten to go to the winter sky.
