謹賀新年


Happy New Year, everyone!

It's a new year, isn't it? 


I celebrated the countdown at the HUB!

It was my first time to celebrate with strangers, ringing crackers. 


It was a great success, reflecting the fact that a lot of people have been lonely in Corona for a long time. 


In Japan, we celebrate the New Year by visiting shrines and eating rice cakes and osechi.

Nowadays, with the convenience of convenience stores and the like, it seems very classic for families to prepare Osechi. 


I would like to spend the New Year in a sacred mood, renewing my mind and wishing for a wonderful year ahead. 


As I don't get together with my relatives, I will return to my normal routine tomorrow. 


Each of us has our own way of spending our time, and I hope that each of us can spend it in a happy way. 


In Japan and abroad, there are cities and countryside, and the way we spend our time changes remarkably, especially in Japan.

It is still common in the countryside for wives and women to be forced to work as male helpers at New Year's, weddings, funerals, and other events where all relatives are present. 


Even now, in the year 2022, this is still the case. 


If it's a good culture, I'm in favor of keeping it, but I don't think it's right for only men who have hands and feet to sit idly. 


I think the time when we can just act arrogantly is long gone. 


Have a wonderful New Year everyone!

I'm starting my first day at the gym tomorrow!
