About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay calm and get settle in the new city!

ABOUT ME

I am self sufficient and independent.
However, love to talk with new people about various topics. I am interested in culture, people, and foods more than history and politics.
My sense of smell, feeling, taste are way sensitive, and some people love it, some people hate it :-)
Oh, no perfume in my place please. It kills my nose.
Also, I am very direct and honest. Most people tell I am trustworthy but some people say that my words hurt people. Don't worry, I don't hurt you in the first day we meet! I am Japanese, polite and moderate enough I think.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has own reasons.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really get into any particular music, just listen along with my mood or recommendation of Spotify!
I like Sundance film festival type of movies.
For reading, mostly I read Japanese non fictions.

I have an opinion regarding books of Haruki Murakami. I had been wondering why people in the world LOVE his books and Japanese are just okay with him. Now, I know why. Somehow his English version of books are super good. Very sensitive and describe the situation very well, kind a straight forward to me, but Japanese versions are complicated and hard to understand. I read some books in both English and Japanese, and I like English versions. Hope he does not read this...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
