I’m sorry
Because we can’t speak english
I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence,
but I would like you to understand
Thank you
For those of us of the same age or older…
It will remind you of the hit song by “Mr. Hiroshi Kamayatsu,
Monsieur Kamayatsu.
He was once a member of the group sound “The Spiders”
and
I am sure you all remember that he was active in the
Japanese singing world.
Unfortunately, he passed away on March 1, 2017 from
pancreatic cancer, but his music is the music that will stay
with him for years to come.

But this time it is really about our good friends.＾＾
Mr. Yutaka Hatanaka is usually active in Tokyo, the heart of
Japan.
I used to work in the television industry and was involved in
many popular programs, including the most popular show
you watch at noon.
He was involved in numerous popular programs.
Mr. Hatanaka called me to tell me that he was going back
to Sapporo to cut a tree.
For a moment, I was like, “? but I understood immediately
(laugh).
A tree that had been planted in the yard of his parents’
house where he used to live had grown so much that its
branches and leaves were overhanging the road and other
areas, so he was coming back to do maintenance.
He and I were classmates in elementary and junior high
school and remain close to this day.
Since he was back home, we decided to meet.
Since I had to cut a tree during the day, I didn’t have time to
meet with him after I was done working, so we met at a cafe
for about two hours.
I think Mr. Hatanaka has been talented since elementary
school, learning many things and far ahead of the rest of us.

He always calls us when he gets back, which makes us really
happy too!
Even after decades, meeting with friends is a truly enjoyable
time.
They talk about their hobbies, cars, where they want to live
in the future, their future jobs, etc.
These men are approaching their late 50s.
In the future, they want to live in a place with a nice view of
the ocean, own two cars like this, and have a job like this.
I want to have two cars like this and a job like this.
We want to live a wonderful life together with our important
friends, with whom we can always talk about our dreams
and goals.
I really want to live a wonderful life with them.＾＾
Mr. Hatanaka, who always has a positive attitude and enjoys
talking even when his body is tired.
Mr. Okumura is engrossed in the story.
I was so engrossed in our conversation that I realized after
writing this column that I unfortunately did not take any
pictures of Maruishi (laugh).
