Happy New Year, dear readers! ♥ I hope you'll all follow us in the new year as well! [---

Taking a break so I can make a dash( o^_^o)
It seems you liked the fringe-look much more than I'd have thought - I was surprised! (*^□^*)
Getting a bit overenthusiastic, I decided to upload a different version of yesterday's one. ☆
Right now, I am back in my hometown! (≧▽≦)ゞ
Work for this year has finished yesterday. ♪
Starting with today, I'm taking a little winter break~ ☆
When I think about it, since I've came to Tokyo, I never even had the chance to spend time at home like this. (*^∇^*)
Though I did drop by at my parents' house when we had a performance run in Aichi. o(^o^)o
I've really been busy running around every day, right?♪
In this town where I always lived until I was 20 years old, I plan to stop and take a little break now. (o≧∇≦)o
The streets, my friends, my ancestors, my family - I will say my thanks to all of them. (●^o^●) And I'm going to have fun of course! ♪
And with renewed energy, I plan to run forward more and more in 2009 as well! (*^□^*)
=======
Like I've just turned back the time ☆
Today, I went to the ocean with my dad and my sister, then went to Japn's current biggest department store and I also did go-kart racing! (*^□^*)
It was a huge adrenalin rush!
Wheeling round in the curves while being almost at ground level was an amazing thrill! (o≧∇≦)o
I was chasing after my dad!☆
Somehow it felt a bit symbolic~ (*´∇`*)
I made a great memory today! ♪
Afterwards, I played basketball with the kids of my cousin.☆ Kids, they really are growing up in front of our eyes! p(^^)q
I will do my best too~☆
Right now, I'm off to a reunion with my high school friends! (≧▽≦)/
=======
A splendid landing!
Just how dorky is this picture? (@_@;) (laugh)
What do you think I might be doing? (o≧∇≦)o?
=======
Thank you for 2008 ☆
Everyone, thank you very much for everything in 2008. (*^□^*)
Your love has truly supported me throughout the whole year! (≧▽≦)/
I'm very very happy.♪
Next year, I plan to return this favour to all of you! (o≧∇≦)o!!
I want to return it in a form of lots of love! (*^□^*)
Keep a look out for me in the coming year as well! ☆
=======
Had a great start ☆
Happy New Year, everyone! (*^□^*)♪
The rising sun I saw this morning was like this. (≧▽≦)ゞ [1]
Yoroshiku in 2009 as well! (o≧∇≦)o
--------
[1] In Japan, there's a tradition of watching the rising sun on the morning of New Year's Day.

Shooting star ヾ(^ ▽^)ノ☆
In 2009, I'm spending my days in a pleasant, heartwarming way~ (*^□^*)
And relaxing a lot~ ☆ヽ(´ー`)ノ☆
I went to draw omikuji (fortune paper)! (●^o^●) [2]
Lucky~!! It was dai-kichi! (great blessing) (*´∇`*)
Did you go to draw one already??
I sounded the New Year's bell as well~ (*^□^*) After that, when I looked up to the sky, the stars were so beautiful! ♪
Moreover!!!
I saw a shooting star! v(^-^)v
Although when I told my friends about it, all excited, they all said "no way!"... (*^∇^*)
But it's true! (ノ>д<)ノ Believe me, everyone! (;O;)
For some reason, this New Year's feels very much how New Year's should be~ (*^o^*)
--------
[2] Omikuji are random fortunes for the new year, written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. They are usually received by making a small offering and randomly choosing one from a box, hoping for the resulting fortune to be good. Unrolling the piece of paper reveals the fortune written on it. "Dai-kichi" is the best fortune result. :)

Friends will never change
During my holiday I met up with my gang from middle & high school and university. (*^□^*)
Everyone's walking their own path now, but they haven't changed a bit!☆
Their way of talking, their way of laughing, their habits... ♪
From now on too, I will always treasure them!(*^□^*)
I hope we always stay the friends who can share great laughter! (*´∇`*)
