In the morning I walked for a while with my dog. And when I got to the cherry tree path along a river,I could hear cicadas making their high-pitched singing. I walked there yesterday also, but I didn't notice such a thing. The air was not humid today's morning, and I could find out that the rainy season was over here. I am not sure whether there had been an official announcement of it, or the end of rainy season, from the Meteorological Agency, cicadas living in the wild told us of it.

Alice in Wonder City

Alice in Wonder City is an English title for a Taiwanese TV drama, which started its broadcasting in late May. As a matter of fact, I appear in the drama as a English-speaking Japanese in his 60s.The drama staff came to Matsuyama this March for location, and some people from the city are expected to appear in the film. Most of them are so-called semi-professionals, who usually appear in the local theater or something like that. Among them there seemed to be no one who could speak their lines in English. My role is a butler in the Enoshima Family, a time-honored family, which has a world-famous, precious violin caled Sire. A violinist from Taiwan named He Ting Yu ( played by Aaron) came to the Enoshima Family. The master is very weak in sickness as well as very old. So the butler, that is, me, I, treat him. The scene where I appear will last for about seven or eight minutes combined. Thre re two scines, one is 8 minutes after the start and the second is 58 minutes after the start. Both are very important in the story. Please have a look at it. You can get the information by visiting the HP of the Matsuyama Sightseeing Convention Association. My apearance is in the 4th instalment of the series, or the 4th Episode.

cherry blossom viewing this spring

Since around the daybreak this morning it has been raining. It is the case in Matsuyama, and in Takamatsu also it may have been so. In the morning today I was off duty and started around 10:30 haeading for Takamatsu. Along the way it has been raining through Takamatsu.The rain is not so weak ,rather stong. On the way back to Matsuyama Saturday,I saw lots of cherry flowers blooming in the trees planted along the toll road.they were very beautiful. Only a couple of days after that, the cherry flowers have already changed. In some trees I can see ligh-green leaves among light-pink-colored flowers,which are ussually caled "Hazakura"

Thinkig of cherry blossoms, I think they are very unique flowers or trees because they remain dim and behave themselves as if dried plant almost all the year except the spring season. But spring is approaching, they begin to have green leaves and a lots of small buds and then white flowers.When I see the process , I can realize that the plants whivch I thought were almost dead are living steadly on the ground extending their roots deep in the earth.The flower really gives us somthing-somthing which encourage us to live our lives lively and actively.

This spring, I think the date when the first bloom was announced by the each meteorological agency in Shikoku earlier than usual. But after the time , there had been rather cold days for a long period. And so, the time of their full bloom has become as the same as usual year.

The weekends before last, it was raining unfortunately two days.But last weekends, the weather was very fine both two days.Many peole must have enjoyed viewing full-bloom cherry blossoms everywhere.

I would like to say thanks to cherry flowers.
