- From New Jersey - July 2nd, 2007

Hello, Everyone!
Thank you very much for your sending a lot of message for me. I'm very appreciated to read them.

Now, I'm in a Hackensack city in New Jersey from US. It takes 30 min. by car from New York. It is very hot today, but this kinds of hot without humidity. How about Japan's weather? I think it's very humid in Japan, isn't it? I don't like humidity like Japan.
Actually, I bought mountain bike when I've been to US before. And I go to rink by bike everyday. In Japan, I always go to rink of Kansai University by my favorite Mama chari(standard bike). I love Mama chari!! Mountain bike's seat is very high for riding, so I'm very scared with it!!

By the way, thank you for coming at my talk live in Tokyo and Okayama. I was very nervous, but I was very enjoyed myself. Thank you very much! And I was surprised to find myself that I could talked very smoothly. Because everyone were supporting me with warm atmosphere. Everyone, GENKI HATSURATSU?

Here is my picture as bellow.
The man who is standing by my side is Michael and he comes to rink of Kansai University for practice from US. Michael is very shy, however, he is very popular among the children that Nagamitu coach teaches. He is really good guy! I'm very proud of Kansai University's rink to the world, so please come to skate here. I'm waiting for you!

From Daisuke

Leode, thank you for your information.
Yesterday, I sent a message to him.
Have you(members) sent a message already?

Thanks, but could one of you just give us a quick summary in English? That would be great!
And who are the people with him on the picture?

Sorry MissC, I'll have a translation up really soon! (I'd love to do it right now, but I need to attend to some urgent work business first.) To answer your question about the picture though, the boy is named Michael, and he came from Alaska to train at the Kansai University Ice Arena (he doesn't say who the woman is).

It's O.K, Calliope, I already translated, thanks!
No, not yet, Morizo.

Thank you for information, Leode.
But I think Hackensack city takes 30 min. from New York by car.

Thank you for notice, pastello.
From New Jersey to New Jersey, I've been to there once. On a winter day, all I remember that it was very freezing!!

Thanks for the translation, Leode!

I like that pic of his, and hope he'll post more pics in the future.

Morizo, yes, I've sent him a short message.

Oh, arigato gozaimas Leode!!

It's really nice of Dai-chan to keep a blog. I hope he'll find a little time to share his thoughts with us during the skating season too!

You're always welcome, hsuhs, MissC.
I found his schedule on his blog.
