Hello!! And happy new year!!!! I'm sorry my forgetting about the blog. How was your last year? I was very happy almost everyday, especially after June...( ´ ▽ ` ) I hope that your new year will be filled with a lot of pleasures☆

Anyway, in this season, there are a lot of special TV programs. For example, Kohaku, Gakitsuka, K-1, Ekiden, rugby and Haruko volleyball. Hey, just a moment. Do we forget something important, don't we?? Yes. It's....soccer!!!!

In January 1st, the final of Tennouhai Soccer Tournament was held and Kashima won the game. But!!!! It didn't matter. What I really want to say is High School Soccer Tournament!!!! Yes!!!! Yesterday the final of this tournament was held. Takigawa 2nd high school (Hyogo) beat Kumiyama high school (Kyoto) and became the champion!! It was so fantastic and exciting game, so I was inspired.

Off course, victory or defeat is very important, but there is the other must-see point. It is the background of each teams. There are various stories in every teams. Some of them make the game exciting and others make people moving to tears. For example, Tsukamoto, a plyer of Kumiyama, couldn't play in the final because of double yellow cards. Therefore every teammate promised to win the final for Tsukamoto. Finally, they lost the game but their last boost was really dramatic, so I think that many people might be moved.

I'm sorry that my blog is almost about soccer. Could I tell you the loveloness of soccer? I hope so. If you are interested in soccer, please talk to me anytime!!

Thank you so much. Have a nice year!!

DISCOVERY

This photo is a goal performance of Sanfrecce Hiroshima. They celebrate the goal with various kinds of funny performances.

When I was a high school student, I played soccer as a goalkeeper. It was very hard but had a special fun of goalkeeper.

This year I and my friends made a futsal circle, and after that I played not as a goalkeeper but as a fieldplayer, especially striker. At first I couldn't play very well, but in October I could get a goal at first time!! Then I discovered a lot of pleasures to get a goal!!!!

There are a lot of fun to play futsal or soccer, so please play soccer and find the enjoyment!!

Future of World Cup

How will the world be in 2050? I think the society will develop and people will receive various profits of high technology. In addition, 2050 is the World Cup year, and I think it will be held in Japan!! Off course I will go to the stadium and cheer the Japan national team up because my son or grandchild will participate the tournament!! Haha!! Just kidding!!

By the way, I wonder how soccer will change in 2050. Perhaps referees will be disappeared, and instead, machines will judge the game. The judgement whether goal or not will depend on a microchip in the ball. This technology has already used in youth tournament, so it will be soon introduced in near future.

Although World Cup 2010 has just finished this year, but I am already looking forward to next World Cup. And after that, I may become to look forward to the next!! World Cup is very exciting in every age!!!

What I like to do

I work as a swimming coach in my neighborhood. Influenced by my job, I became to like swimming recently.
Actually, I had learned swimming for four years from six-year-old. Therefore I can swim a little, but there was about eight years wthout swimming, and my swimming skill was failing.
Especially I became poor at the butterfly. I felt very tired after my first swimming the butterfly in my gym. Very very tired, so next day I had muscular pain.

In this October, I was given a new program for work from my chief. The name was "Breaststroke and butterfly in 30 minutes", it means that I must teach butterfly, moreover I have to teach it to adult customers!! It also means that I have to show them a good example of butterfly.
Please imagine. If teacher is bad at swimming, how do you feel?? The customers must be disappointed in me, and they'll never join my program!!

Then I decided to be good at swimming, so I often practice after the gym is closed. At first, it was hard, but I feel very delightful recently!! To be good at butterfly changed from duty to fun, and now I am always looking for the closing time of gym when I work!!!!

My ideal honeymoon

I want to go wonderful beach like Hawaii, guam or Blazil as my honeymoon.
first, we go seaside hotel and lend a room which is the highest room of the hotel and has very beautiful location of sea. Then we stay there all night during the honeymoon. Second, we go to the sea only two, and swim there and dive with the snokeling to see fish, dolfins or beautiful living things.

We will always be together during the travel!!!!!!!

My good friends

The person in this picture is Naoya kitamura whom I always call him Kitamu. He is one of my few friends from same high school in Kwangaku.

First we met in the soccer game as enemy of each other, and we entered the same high school. He and I were the sameOff course we belonged to soccer club not as enemy but as teammate. After practice, we often remained ground and practiced more by ourselves to the time of leaving school, and then we went home together with talking about exam, our class and our target to take part in the game of top team, everything.

In spite of that, Kitamu couldn't become a member of top team but I could, so he retired the club before the All Japan Soccer Tournament. He looked very sad, but he behaved brightly and cheered us up. At last, we couldn't take part in the game of top team together, but I will never forget the memory with Kitamu.

Now, we established a new futsal circle, and play together. Our new target is to be a No.1 futsal circle of Kwangaku!!!!

My special day

I have experienced a lot of wonderful days, and the most special one is December 30 2009!!!! It was the opening ceremony of All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, and It was held in Kokuritsu Stadium!!!! Can you understand how it was proud for me!?!? Kokuritsu is the sacred ground of Japanese soccer, so all young players yearn and want to play!! Of course many important matchs have been held there for example, the finals of Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, Emperor's cup and Fuji Xerox Super Cup etc. This tournament is also one of them, so I had always dreamed since I entered my high school.


In that day, we marched on the tracks as the representative team of Nara. Everything was good. And then I saw Sentokun in the audience.

The next day, we battled with Tohoku High school, the representative team of Miyagi, and could't win. We lost too early and I couldn 't play because I was a reserve player, But those experiences were so special and I am proud of them!!!!!!
