June.7-June.11,1999

June.7(Mon):
Yes, Ah, this week, I would like to talk about my activities. For the first day, I will talk about my essays. Oh well, this is more or less of writing diaries. I should not be so serious about it. (laughing) I just write about something I thought, or something fun...or even something happened to me. I am kind surprised that I have been writing this over three years.(laughing) Well, I am running out of things to write...it is hard to find something to write about. Um. I am asking my readers to send the ideas for my essay. Since it has been three years and I have quite a bit of essays, I am thinking about publishing them as a book. Please look forward everyone.

June.8(Tue):
Ah, continuing from yesterday, I will talk about my essays today. Basically, many writers use word processor to write their works. But, I am still writing on papers using pencils. Um. For some reasons, I like pencils. Um. It has to be sharpened from time to time which is a nice break between the writings. Pencil is really nice. I don't like ballpoint pen much. Well, I think writing is a necessity for me. I think my brain cells will die rapidly if I stop writing, especially when I get old. Um. I am forcing myself to write essays.(laughing)

June.9(Wed):
Well, I am talking about myself this week quite selfishly. (laughing) Speaking of my individual activities, the movie just started and the stage play will start soon. In case of TV, I have been doing the TV show "Special Assignment Research 2000X" over two years. That show is really interesting. I don't feel anything special doing this show, but when I watch it, it is really interesting. I watch it rather objectively. This show analyzes the real phenomenon or incident using simulations. It is very educational. It analyzes something, which is not totally scientific fiction, but more or less of unusual phenomenon, and proofs it as a real thing using scientific proofs. It is a really cool show. I like it. Most of the time, except a very few occasions, the show will come up with some definite conclusions. That what I like about this show. Also, the team of actors and actresses appearing on this show is more like a family. We get along very well. Mr. Shiro Sano is a father figure. We are like the family of the famous TV drama "Terauchi Kantaro Family".

June.10(Thu):
Well, I would like to talk about "the work I want to do" today. "Hypnosis" the movie is now open...of course, I would like to continue doing movies. Also, I want to do more stage plays. And, essays, you know, I talked about publishing my essays as a book. If I am going to publish a book, I would like to use the pictures, which I took, on my book. Well, that is more or less of calling my hobby as a work. I think that is good. It is more like introducing my place to the people. Publishing a book is a very private thing for me. Well, rather than doing many things, of course that is important but, I think focusing on one thing for a long time is good.

June.11(Fri):
"Geshoto Kitan" the stage play, which I appear, will start today at Ginza Saison Theater. Ah Today is the first day of the play and I am nervous...I am simply nervous. Well, in case of the concert, there are other members, so, I can get through somehow with them. But, the concert is often not ready at the first day. We just do it anyway. (laughing) I know this is not good. On the other hand, the stage play has to be completely ready for the first day since there are so many lines to remember, practically speaking. Anything on the stage, including the concert, there is the mode you have to get in. It depends on the play, but the stage play takes longer rehearsals than the concert. In case of our concert, usually, we take about three weeks to get ready. The stage play takes more than a month to get ready. Well, from today on, I will be in the play. I am trying to keep my stamina for this play. Everyone, please look forward seeing this play.
