Number 24: CHANGE
Seto-kun spent welcoming the New Year in his beloved hometown Fukuoka.
He recharged his energy for this year and will show his progress this year again.
I welcomed the New Year when I was deep into my games.
In my New Year holidays I spent my time at leisure at my parent's home in Fukuoka. Because I stayed about 10 days around New Year, my longest record to stay at my home since I moved to Tokyo was broken, I think. Though it was winter holidays, my little sisters seemed to be busy with club activities [at school], dates or such and they seemed to enjoy it. Only me as the big brother seemed to be all free (laugh). As expected I did just nothing, but because the time wasn't worth it, I started thinking whether I shall move my body or not, but this time I didn't. Because I usually move my body a lot or spent time stoically, this holidays I spoiled myself thoroughly. However, even if I had time, I wouldn't have anything to do... This way I indulged myself automatically with the games I had in my room. I forgot about the countdown of the New Year's Eve and lost myself in the games and when I realized it, it was already time to welcome the new year. This isn't different than being alone in Tokyo, I guess (laugh).
But from the beginning of the year onwards I was quite active. I met with my friends and spend the time here in my home town. I didn't meet them since the Coming of Age Ceremony last year, but there were some who became more like adults in that time and some who were still the same. When I heard the stories of their life as a student I got a little envious. On the other side, maybe because they usually watch me on TV, it didn't feel like it had been such a long time [without seeing each other].
What I enjoyed the most was, when we went out throughout the whole night. First we went to a spot with a nice night view, then we went to karaoke and it was the most fun. We sang energetically until the next morning. Because recently I was in the mood to sing, it was really a great feeling!
Thanks to me spending New Year at leisure in Fukuoka, I was, feeling-wise and physical, able to refresh myself with all my strength. And I also ate a lot of delicious food! From here the start dash of 2010 seems good. Lately, looking at the activity from now on, I'm training my body. Next month I might be able to tell a lot. Please look forward to it!
When I first read it, I didn't know about "Tumbling" yet, so I didn't understand the last sentences. But now we know he's training with Tomo, Yusuke and everyone ;D
If you find any mistakes or if it sounds strange...please tell me. m(_ _)m
