Do Not Spoil My Lucky Day!!!

A phone call woke me up at 9 am. For once, I answered a call. Interview notice. Don’t expect too much. It’s just an interview. However…

The Yokohama Bay Stars has come on top for the first time, according to the “Sports Nippon,” in “1,097 days.” “First in this many days” is a trite way to make a point in the Japanese baseball reporting. A baseball season lasts for only a little more than half a year. It is absurd to count by day.

At 8 pm, those Soka people started chanting at a funeral ceremony for one of their members. At this very moment, they are still shouting. So loud. The man sitting in front, who should be the cell leader, is using a microphone! I went down to have a look at them. A girl on the front row was crossing her legs while chanting. Are you guys supposed to be sitting on the floor? (At the Speakers’ Corner, it is banned to use any voice amplifying device.) Ahhhh, this is nightmarish. This lucky day is being completely spoiled because of them. I need a very competent exorcist.
