五輪と万博と年号と

The Olympics, the Expo, and the year

I was born into a rich generation.



I saw on the news the other day that the Expo was going to be held in Osaka.

Next year, the year will change,

Furthermore, the Olympics were held in 2018, followed by the World's Fair.

I never expected that the year name would change twice during my lifetime.

I never thought that the Olympics and World Expo would be held in Japan.

That's the end of the story this time (lol),

I thought I'd write down what I think about this watch.

This watch was made by Seiko in 1964.

It's a watch called World Time, which was produced as a commemorative model for the last Tokyo Olympics.

It is structured so that you can see the time differences of major cities around the world...

There's no use in knowing things like that, and now you can easily find out on your smartphone.

If I say that, the story will be over, but

It may have been a revolutionary idea conceived about 50 years ago.

The Olympics and the World's Fair are nothing special,

The best stage where everyone can unleash their strengths without being bound by country, race, or gender.

It's a tournament where children can aspire to be like this person someday,

It's a wonderful place that makes you think about the future,

I hope the world moves in a positive direction, no matter what.

I also have children and three nephews,

Someday, if not in Japan, then somewhere in the world,

And I think being active in something is a bright future for me.

My eldest nephew does karate,

I also think it's cute that she says she wants to participate in the Olympics in the future.

There was probably a story like this when this watch was made.

I don't think the world is what people imagined back then, but...

If the Olympics are held in Japan again in about 50 years,

I hope this is the future that many people desire.

Today I wrote such a sentimental thing...I don't have anything special (lol)

However, the financial year ends this month, and the new term starts in December.

It's been 3 years since we became a corporation, but time passes really quickly.

And there is only one month left in 2018.

It seems that the reason time seems to go faster as you get older is because you are nearing death.

It seems that you feel faster because you do what you have to do while you're still alive.

Thinking like that, I want to work harder and have more time for the rest of my life...Are you a rapper?

Tomorrow is a regular holiday, but a friend of mine is coming to Fukuoka for his child's marathon.

On weekends, I attend custom suits for friends, etc.

I'm busy, but it doesn't have much to do with my work.

But I believe that these things will lead to something. If you wish for a bright future in the distant future,

I have to be bright about what's in front of me right now!
