happy
After 5Y + 45Wks
StandardThank you so much, Dr. A, who gave Mei-Shun “Yes” phone call on Saturday. The latter just came home from kabuki dance lesson at Master Bando’s place as today. Her regular lessons are on Tuesdays shared with a new student Ms. S, while sometimes on weekend with Mihoryu-san who has already gained certificate of 師範. This 名取 would be able to enjoy it feeling a kind of free until next appointment in July.
Proved Prince
StandardPrincess Cymby has recently found Mei-Shun recognized a little boy trying to reach elder sisters. Since younger one took as long as almost a month to bloom soon, it allowed her to draw a sigh of relief. Good for Your Highness, they could wait you to grow enough. Wondering why she stays home today? It is too windy to drive toward home of Master Bando.
Thank Thee
StandardMei-Shun cordially means to you kind followers. She has never imagined to see such number, over 300 within this year. Although the slightest compared to famous others, she would love to continue on this little site. Mikan-chan, Ms. Piano and Masters Mei-Shu and Bando, please take her huge appreciation as well. She wishes you all a very Merry Christmas!
Got Goal
StandardMei-Shun made it. Precisely, this year saw the number on a scale three times including today. The first one came in September, stopped for around a month with half a bag of sugar. Then she started to lose it before 邦楽発表会, feeling tense. Regaining weight she lost would be the biggest dismay, yet it has not occurred so far. Even if a narrow escape, she will keep a stiff upper lip with her own methods.
Two Twins
StandardWe have 冬至=toji, the 4th of winter 二十四節気 today. That means the longest night in northern hemisphere, makes Mei-Shun rush to western window at dusk to see Jupiter and Saturn float side by side. There they are, yet quite difficult to recognize the further latter, who finds himself a bit too close to the former. And oh, Princess Cymby finally opened 3 flowers; one on the top, 2 just next to each other.
Depends on Diet
StandardMeow, mom looks delighted after checking numbers on a scale. She makes it a rule to weigh herself with an empty stomach and good perspiration from horsey riding. Are you kind followers interested in mine? It is not weight but a place to take a nap which I care. Mom has to hold me on her legs first, then I squeeze onto warmed-up sofa. Oh, Mr. Kura-maru, please do not occupy my bed.

Joy of Moon
StandardLunar October started yesterday. Shin and Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine together, after an interval of longer than half an year, to make wishes respectively. The husband drew an omikuji lot of 凶=kyo, the worst luck while the wife 吉=kichi, lucky. Well, the latter also mentioned 大凶=dai-kyo, worse than 凶 if she would not improve anything bad right now. Two commandments must be taken to hearts.

Moon Fish, 1 family-1 genus-1 species
Autumnal Art
StandardWhich would you kind followers like, coffee, tea or green tea? The owner of a hair saloon, where Mei-Shun goes to every three weeks, is a pottery collector. And how is it, a star-shaped ice cream ball among normal round ones? It has been rare for her to win foods like it, yet sometimes occurs these days. For example, fèves in her annual “Galette des Rois” often come out of a piece she chose.
Joy of Dance
StandardYes, it is one of the greatest pleasures of Mei-Shun to have it. Actually, she felt pressure a lot at her technique, thought to cancel her stage reserved soon. However, Master Bando persuaded her tentative student to go ahead. “We dance for ourselves. What is the most important is to enjoy, isn’t it?” Her words make jewelry, brilliant enough to be a light which leads this kabuki dance lover.
