The other day yutakuya gave me the link to a blog entry by Shirakawa Touko, a journalist and writer with Yoshimoto Creative Agency, on PRICELESS, saying that maybe I would be interested in translating it. So, I thought I should give it a try.

It's not right to sit down and write a birthday entry when I should have put my focus on many things that are much more important.
It's not right, but I still feel an urge to do it.
