Hi, Takako. I’ve been reading your blog and fascinated by your posts! I am very inspired by Yuko Yamaguchi and I wrote a post about her too in my blog. I think you have a very good English writings, and I have long searching for a Japanese blogger writing in English. Thank you so much for writing. Hope we can be friends.
