Happy New Year - 2006
Happy New Year!!!
It's still New Years eve here in Hawaii and already, the new year is well into its first day for my brother and his friend in Japan! He just called this afternoon from Fukuoka to wish us a あけましておめでとうございます！(after taking a couple of drinks of sake!) He said they are really having a fun time - their probably on the Shinkansen right now headed for Osaka...
On this new year's eve, I kind of wish I had something deep and philosophical to say, but, my brain is just not fully functioning since I seem to have come down with a really sore throat and some body aches...not that I would have, even without this cold...so...here's a thought that just came to mind!
For a long time, on new year's eve, I remember my grandma watching the Red and White New Years Music Festival on KIKU Television. Funny thing is, just now on NGN television, they are showing the Kohaku Uta Gassen show. Then I heard a song that really reminds me of New Year time. It was originally sung by Hibari Misora, called Kawa no nagare no you ni (川の流れのように) what a beautiful song!!!
On that "note"...to all my family and friends and everyone else out there...
...have a safe and Happy New Year everyone - あけましておめでとうございます！

Nowadays, the "cell-phone generations" in Japan say"あけおめ、ことよろ！" which is short of "おけましておめでとうございます、ことしもよろしくおねがいします" You see, the shorter the message, the less costly to send using cell phone !
Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR !
