▼そして、田町駅に着きkioskでたばこを買うのに、「メビウス100、いやロングの8、いや違った3です」と言ったので、店員女子は呆れた表情にして「はい、はい」とメビウス100の3を差し出してくれました。同じような話で、同僚女子は、メビウス・アクア1を買うときに「アクエリアス・ワンと言ったことあります」とのことでした。たしかに、たばこの銘柄が多すぎて、まぎらわしくなっていますね。

On 17 January I went out to Ikegami Honmonji Temple, where I met a statue of Rikidōzan.
At the same time, I learnt about the anniversary of the death of Kodama Yoshio, a major figure in post-war history, and I also learnt about Ikegami Honmonji as the location of the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Force during the Meiji Restoration.

It was precisely there that Saigo Takamori, the chief of staff of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, took command of the general attack on Edo.
On 9 March 4, Keio 4, Katsu Kaishu's envoy Tesshu Yamaoka met with Saigo Takamori, and on 12 March Katsu Kaishu visited Saigo Takamori at Ikegami Honmonji Temple to discuss a bloodless attack on Edo.

And on the day before the general attack on Edo (14 March), Kaishu Katsu and Takamori Saigo reached an agreement on the bloodless opening of Edo at the Tamachi warehouse of the Satsuma clan.
So I was somewhat pleased to find that Tamachi, where I work, and Ikegami Honmonji, which seemed so far away, had a deep and very close relationship.

The other day, I got off at Tsuruta Station on the JR Nikko Line for the first time.
Since it is the first station from Utsunomiya Station, I was looking forward to seeing what kind of town it would be, but contrary to my expectations, it was a completely suburban atmosphere.
There are only two trains running between 9:00 am, and it is truly a local line.

There was a stand reader for Suica at the ticket gate of the station.
Of course, I've never seen one on the JR Utsunomiya Line in Tokyo, so I was a little surprised.
The area in front of the station was a lonely atmosphere, and I didn't see a smoking area.
The snow-capped mountains of Nikko in the distance reminded me of how different things are even within Utsunomiya City.

On January 20, I attended the NHK Song Concert "Celebration 900 times! Extra Edition, Kimimaro Kawaraban".
Unfortunately, my seat, which was exchanged for an application postcard, was on the third floor, but it gave me a good sense of realism. Before the concert started, I ate a box lunch I bought at a department store and had a smoke at the smoking area of NHK Hall. I smoked two cigarettes all together.
The songs and singers I heard were as follows.
・City Lights: Masaaki Sakai
・Be a Thousand Winds:Masashi Akikawa
・As I Love You...: Junko Akimoto
・Nakanoshima Blues: Kiyoshi Maekawa
・Hitori: Gospellers
・Burnet ~Migrating Days~: Miyuki Kawanaka
・Unmozaka - Kirara Zaka: Natsumi Kawano
・Wonderful People: Akiko Wada
Each song was good, but I was very happy to hear Kimimaro Ayanokoji perform live for the first time.
I would like to thank Mr.M for inviting me again. Thank you very much. On my way back to Shibuya station, the area in front of the station was as busy as ever. I had a smoke at the smoking area in front of the scramble crossing and was swallowed into the station as one of the crowd.

Yesterday, there was an event entitled "First Laughter with Sumo Jinku Mandan and Children's Songs".
I took my annual paid leave and went to the venue, Kawagiri no Yu, in Shioya-cho, Shioya-gun.
The venue was filled to capacity with more than 40 people, and as a newcomer myself, I participated as a matchmaker for master Tomeo Mankin and his senior students.

During the 4 hours including karaoke time, I was able to enjoy the free-flowing hot springs overlooking the Kinugawa River.
Also, there were many elderly people and women, so there were a few smokers, although there were ashtrays on each table.
