Good morning. ☺️✨ The Nigella damascena 💙 is blooming beautifully. In our garden, blue 💙 and white 🤍 varieties are blooming here and there from self-seeded plants. Initially, a neighbor gave us seedlings, and for the past few years, they've multiplied from self-seeded plants. It makes me so happy when they bloom every year. 🐰💗
Good mornevening, Yuming ! 🌅🌃 The genus Nigella belongs to the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. 🤔 It is commonly known by its scientific name, Nigella. The scientific name originates from the Latin word niger, meaning black.●🙆♀️🤭 However, your flower is not black, but a beautiful blue.🖤🙅♀️💙🙆♀️👌 Since it's a member of the buttercup family, those blue parts are actually sepals, not petals.😄🤗✌️ Other plants in the buttercup family include Christmas roses and anemones.🏵️🌺🌸 They are all beautiful flowers, aren't they ? 🤔 They shine just like my sister Yuming. 👧👖🥰😍😘✨

Good morning. ☺️✨ How are your roses🌹 in Yumi's garden doing with the heat? Are the petals okay? It's only May, but we've been having days that feel like summer, so I'm moving some of my rose bushes to a sunnier spot. The roses planted in the ground are doing fine, though. 'Anne Frank's Rose❤️🧡' is doing well even in this heat. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko for your message.😄 We are more than friends. We are like brother and sister.👦👧👌 Oni-chan is your big brother, so I will do whatever you ask for.😍🥰 Hoitara-nandemo-ittene.🌞✌️

Good morning. ☺️✨ I see you've been asked to take care of the garden. I suppose that day will come someday. I have a gardener handle the tree disinfection and pruning, but I do the weeding in the garden and field myself. I'm glad your garden and rose patch are looking nice. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your suggestion.😄 In our next life, instead of being brother and sister, could we be partners ？😄🥰🤫 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️

@太陽の塔 Good morning! ☀️ Sorry I told you wrongly. You will be born, and I will be born. You will be my big brother. We will grow up together and spend our lives together till we will get our parents. Sister/Brother! 💕
Hello ☺️✨ It's been raining since last night, so I'm relaxing at home. However, I'm running out of storage space on my phone 📱, which I should be able to do normally, so if I don't manage it properly, it seems like I won't be able to see my past photos. Some are backed up to the cloud, but others aren't yet. Managing everything is quite a chore. I'm glad that Yumi's rose garden 🌹 is being cared for by a gardener. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message.😄 Agreed ! 🤗 Oni-chang will be your big brother in the next life.👱♂️👩 Hoitara-raise-de-date.👫🌞✌️

@太陽の塔 💕 thank you I need my big brother like you. I lost my father when I was 8 years old. After that~ (tetenashi-go), (boshi-katei). Nothing sounds was good to me. I just study well and run (100m) new record at my place. I have ever told you. My ground father and father were surgeries. My mother was a certificated accountant in 1950s.
*😁I will talk to my father/I would like to see you in my next life. Trust me~. It will be!! My graveyard 🪦 will take care of me. (pay $$). 😊 We will have to talk about ~ the rest of our lives(Syukatsu). Are you ready for this? I am ready. 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Yumiko-chan did a great job !😭💦 What happened to you when you were eight years old must have been very sad for you.👧😭 At the age of eight, you would clearly remember the situation at that time.🤔☺️ You have shown a very positive attitude toward your sports and studies since that time.🏃♀️👩🎓👌 I will be both a big brother and a new father to you. If you ever need anything, just let me know.☺️😄👍 I'm joining Sgt.

@pechako Thank you for a message. lovely Life is only one time! Do you have some desire ~ in your life? Me?. All done. I have not have particular desire to go/ do~today. Life! Happy 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message, bro. Yes. with some reasons, I clearly remember when I was 3…little, 4~8 years old…better and better remembering. My father gave me my birthday present on June. He had known he will die soon at his hospital. On June, He gave me his favorite white socks for my birthday. He died two day before my birthday. Since that time, I always wear white socks(one has cute frills) even today, I am wearing white socks. Thinking of my father. I was three years old(according to the photos). Father’s white socks 💕 thank you 🙏 for listening.
@太陽の塔 😁I like ‘Yamazaki’,too. “maroyaka”! We were growing up “Suntory &Nikka” “Suntory Red”> Kaku> Daruma(old)>Royal>Hibiki…and Yamazaki …actually I have known the delicious ‘Yamazaki’ so much. Because time has been changed. *do you know the episode? Why they started calling the name “Suntory”? Because the owner’s name is Shinjiro Torii. They were calling (Toriisan~Toriisan…Torii…San>Santorii! 😁 I heard of this story from the great guy who worked at Mitsui Co.,to. I would like to taste “Yamazaki” when I go back to Japan. Thank you for a nice 👍 info. 😋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! ☀️ Me, too. Right now, my rose garden is completely clean. Some tiny ones are coming ⬆️. cute 💕 Let’s have a nice day together! Our garden is always waiting for us.😁
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes, the roses are blooming in pots in a partially shaded area under a roof, and also in pots outside. I think it'll be time for trimming soon. Today, kittens are being adopted. Including yesterday's kittens, three will be going to the same owner. 🐰💗
@pechako Thank you for your lovely message. It’s ok. You know~ “Shyukatsu”? My age is the exact time to think of it. I have read the book written by Iktsuki Hiroyuki “Rinjyuki”. Do you know~ or have you read this one? If you have not, try to read this one. You can have at your city library. It’s the fantastic one. You can know~ we will be elder and go to our “rinjyu-ki”. ☺️ *I gave you a homework! I have been nice life. forever 🍀 Have a nice day. with smile 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) 様✨ Thank Yuming for your kind message !😄🤗👌 In addition to Yamazaki(山崎) from Osaka/Kyoto, which is Suntory's flagship whisky, they also offer Hakushu(白州) from Yamanashi.🌲🌲🥃😋 Oni-chan wa kwansai-jin desu. Suntory no namae ni tsuite shiraide kai. The name "Suntory" comes from a combination of the word "Sun🌞" and the founder's last name, "Torii."⛩️ In 1907, the founder Shinjiro Torii launched a hit sweet wine called "Akadama Port Wine.🇯🇵"🍷👩👙 "Akadama" means "red ball," which represents the sun, the source of all life.He took the "Sun🌞" from this product and added his own name, "Torii," creating "Sun-Torii" (Suntory).😆😊✌️ Do you know the morning drama series 'Massan' ?🌾🌾🌾 The theme song is "Mugi no Uta" by Miyuki Nakajima. 🌾 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning ☀️ Thank you for a message. Yes. It’s the trimming time. ~ I will go for trimming after coming back from my club. It takes for half an hour. I have a hand machine. It’s so easy to trim comparing with trimming Scissors. I am like a man 👨! My husband used to do all the time in the garden. no more~. The garden helper comes and clean the garden. However I can’t ask him about my lovely roses. I do. …long talk~ every one has his own garden. We are particulars. 😊 Good day together!
Good morning. ☺️ Yumi's rose garden pruning shows that the more care you give to it, the more dedication and affection you develop, resulting in beautiful roses. 🌹Looking at the potted and ground-planted roses every day, I can't help but notice the color of the leaves and how the flowers are blooming. I'm looking forward to seeing them bloom! 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning. Thank you for a message. How you know the story a lot in those days! impressed Where are you today? You are busy for your trip. Take care of yourself. Good day together! 😊😊

@pechako Thank you for a message. Yes. It’s now dry season. No rain till October. We will have to worry about natural fires 🔥. It’s cool in the early morning when I go to the club (6:00am). In the afternoon, it will be over 30°C. We stay 🏡. Let’s have a nice day ! 😊😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ I'm looking forward to the roses blooming again. 😘💕 Yesterday, my husband drove me to "Rosanberry Tawada" in Shiga Prefecture. We looked around at various sections, such as the rose garden and the perennial garden, and also strolled to Shaun the Sheep's farm. 🚶🏻 It was quite a steep slope, and sheep were grazing in the mountains, and you could even feed them. It was a petting zoo. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 How great! Enjoyable trip Each trip gives lots of impressions. Fresh feeling~ 😊nice for you! Nice meals and nice rest after the tour. Good day together !
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! How nice~ thank to your husband for driving! sweet Everyday is coming. Stay home~ and enjoy lots of your life. Life style~ Thinking by yourself 💕
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 Oni-chang had a great time eating delicious food on my trip, but now I'm paying the price.🥘🐟🍣🥃→🏃💨💦💦😰 My trip was so delicious that I put on a few pounds.🐷😢 Hoitara-ne.🥵🌞✌️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😊🤗 One of the purposes of this trip was to eat delicious food.😋😄👌 We tried the 'Ooedo 3-Star Buffet(大江戸三つ星バイキング)' at Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Kaike Onsen. Everything was delicious, especially the abalone🦪, crab🦀, and steak🥩！🌞🍺✌️ Since it's an all-we-can-eat buffet, we can have as many refills of our favorite foods as Oni-chang like.🤗🙌 Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋
@太陽の塔 How nice! Enjoyable meals 👍 …I eat simple food. Vegetable 🥗. Buckwheat noodles(soba). Fruit. I eat chicken breast, Maguro, Fish/Saba, Iwashi~. Your wife is smart enough to take care of your daily food,right?! I am, however He had a stroke in 2020. It was a sad 😞 story. to be continued ~ Well~ where are you going from now? You know~”shukaktu”? You have no feelings about this?! Young man🕺🏻
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Hello ☺️✨ I've been taking a break from GS for a while. I've been busy with things like laying weed control sheets in the field, etc., and also going out, so I'm sorry 🙏🏻 I'll be checking GS again at my own pace from now on. Thank you for your understanding. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. No worries ~ we GS friends are always on. You can enjoy anytime when you want to. 🤗 Let’s have a nice day! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ While I was taking a break from GS, I noticed the flowers in my garden changing colors, and the lilies I planted last year were in bloom. Looking at the flowers calmed my mind. I'm finally free from the busyness and can work at my own pace. I apologize for causing you worry. 🙇🏻
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 For lunch today, Oni-chang had a beef skillet dish🥩 at Yoshinoya, and for dinner, I had fish sashimi🐟🦑🦐. I’m eating a well-balanced diet, including rice🍚 and vegetables🥗.😋🤗👌 I think End-of-life planning (Shyukatsu) is essential regardless of our age. Because we never know what the future holds, it acts like insurance. Note that a last letter and a legal will serve different purposes.🤔😄 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 🌞 No worries ~ everyone has his some things to do~(no time for G.S). I understand that. Life, take care of it for #1! We will have a nice day. 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ Yes, if there's something that needs to be prioritized, you have no choice but to take a break from something. Otherwise, your mind will wander. Skillful people can handle anything and do it, but I'm the type who can't do things if something is bothering me. Thank you for your continued support this month. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 🌞 I know ~ we have some stress. I have it , at my club right now. I have not had before. One lesbian lady(two ladies)suddenly showed up our lines(swimming). My good friends are losing to swim. 🙁 (Iyada ne). I will try to figure out. ✌️ How are you? You had some difficult feelings for a several days. It may happen to us, anytime. I had a sensitive stomachache for 50 days. I felt. ‘Done’. No more worries at all. And I came back what I am today. healthy! You, too. Take care of yourself. Positive/ no think of money Good day together! 😊
Good morning. 😉✨ Today, perhaps due to the typhoon 🌀🌪️☔, I went to bed early and woke up early, when suddenly there was a power outage 🔦. It's finally been restored. Yes, I think I've been under a lot of stress. From trivial comments on GS to things that made me go "Huh...💦", etc. From an outsider's perspective, it might seem like a small thing, but to myself it was like "Eh?😅". Doesn't that ever happen to you❓️ I've decided to just let that matter slide. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! 🌞 That’s right. Our life~ we can catch our stresses anytime. Let’s try not have it! 🤞 It depends how we we go~ with our will everyday. 💕happy day~ we will make it together!
@太陽の塔 Good morning! ☀️ 😭I will tell the story/ the guy I had told about him~: My best friend(from junior high), He still works at D. Trading company. In Japan. His class mate(at KO Uni). Mr. Y. ~ He was working so hard~ all over ~ Tokyo, Shizuoka, Iwate~ great work👏👏 Last September, suddenly he had stomach/intestines trouble and he was hospitalized. He had a surgery(*he should not/my will). He died in April. My friend gave a info on the face book. * September ~ April . Don’t you think ~ it was too short for him. (He should not had surgery). You know~. One scalpel used for his surgery…😨no help. That’s why he died so fast. * not accept to have a surgery easily
How are you? We live ~ I will live another 10 years. It’s enough for me. You will survive till 90 years old. Our life will be nice one! 😊😊
Good morning.☺️✨ It's been raining heavily since last night and continues to this day. I think it's due to a linear rainband. It looks like it will continue until almost noon. Today, all I can do is stay indoors and wait for the rain to stop. That's right, I have to think positively and move forward. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your personal story！😊👌 We are now living in an era where people live to 100 years old.🤗💦 Let’s stay healthy and live long ! 😄👨🦳👩🦳✌️ Oni-chang want to see the completed Sagrada Familia by Gaudi. I also want to take the maglev train from Osaka to Tokyo.🏰💒🚄⛰️💨🤗 End-of-life planning is important. Please remember that what you need is not a suicide note, but a legal will. Let’s write a will.😇👋👋👋 In the next life, I don't want anyone else but you.🥰👫 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! I know~ it’s raining ☔️in Japan including typhoon 🌀. Your place is ok?! It will be rainy season in Japan. Keep being you healthy! 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. You are so smart to talk about your life. ✌️let’s go! You are Mr. Positive, and you can live till 100 💯 years old. I feel~ . not me~ I will be enough for 10 years. I will burn out ~. I am completely healthy today. Swimming for 75 minutes and do speed walk for 30 minutes everyday. You , too. “Not to eat the delicious food everyday”. Buckwheat noodles(soba) I have this everyday with seaweed. Take care of yourself. I will be with U. 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ The typhoon has passed ☔🌀🌪️. There was heavy rain ☔ and wind. I had moved the potted plants to a sheltered location beforehand to prevent them from falling over. That's right. The rainy season is just around the corner. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for my 100 years old prediction ! 🤗👨🦳👌 Yesterday, Oni-chang went to Osaka Castle🏯 and then attended a live public recording of Rakugo(落語) at the nearby NHK Osaka Hall.🤗😄✌️💦 I rarely laugh from the bottom of my heart, but Rakugo was so funny that it finally made me laugh. It felt so good for my mental health.🤣🤣🤣👌💗🙆♂️ Don't Yuming find Rakugo and Manzai interesting ? Fortune comes to a smiling face !（笑う角に福来る）ってね。😉😊😆✌️ Let's live life to the fullest !☺️😃😙🤫💦 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! I know~ typhoon 🌀 information from the Japan + NHK. It’s good for you had no trouble with this typhoon. Natural disasters ~ it may happens anything anywhere. Earthquake, Flood, Wildfires…we need make it sure to go and do ~ in case it happens. I have it. 👍perfectly Let’s go for today. 🤞
Good morning. ☺️✨ Typhoon No. 6 brought heavy rain. The rain was so strong it felt like it was beating down on the flowers, so cleaning up afterwards was a lot of work, but my husband helped me, so we were able to finish quickly, and the roses were fine. The roses planted in the ground were also blooming strongly. Natural disasters always seem to strike when you least expect them. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. I loved to listen to ‘Rakugo’…for 6 months ~ I had known all Rakugo talkers(in 2020~2023). Covid-19 started 3/18 in 2020 in California reported by state governor. I lost my swimming pool. I started to walk~ “life is such a no sense “😞. + my partner had a stroke in August 15th. He was carrying by helicopter 🚁 to go to the best hospital. (Do you know how it costed🤫) anyway he saved his life. Not $$ He has been still spending lots of money by himself. I take care of him, 365 days 24 hours I will not go anywhere. Stay home to be with my partner/husband. Thank you for listening. Go back to the story. Rakugo~ thank you. Soon or later, I will start listening Rakugo~ While I was swimming ~ I was listening to Rakugo, I suddenly laughed 😆, they thought I was ok? In the pool. Good talking to you. Stay home. Have a delicious your wife’s food. Don’t go out and eat delicious food. We do not need. 👍
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your private message and Rakugo talking !🤗👌 I went to NHK Osaka Hall on June 4th and enjoyed five rakugo shows.🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇💦 Every rakugo story was great, but I found 'Tengu Sabaki:天狗裁き' (The Tengu's Judgement) especially interesting.👺🤣😆🤗✌️ The story of the rakugo performance is as follows:👎 The protagonist, Kuma, is taking a nap and is suspected by his wife of having a secret dream. He insists he didn't see anything, but they start arguing. 😢 The fight escalates as the next-door neighbor, the landlord, and eventually the magistrate (town judge) interfere—but ironically, each person ends up demanding to know the contents of the dream. Even after being hung from a tree by the angry magistrate, Kuma is carried away by a mythical Tengu (goblin)👺, who also demands to hear the dream. 😴 In the end, just as the Tengu chokes him in anger, Kuma wakes up in his own bed, only to hear his wife ask, "Dear, what kind of dream were you having?"😴💤🌃🙇 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I know ~ a lots people talked about A typhoon 🌀. You said it was #6. In Japan they count # for typhoon . In USA, they put a name. It comes from Z>A. You got it? I have not known typhoon news 🗞️. Nice day together! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ It seems Typhoon No. 6 is called (Chanmi), I wonder what the name comes from? Also, I was surprised to learn that Japan had already experienced its sixth typhoon this year. Perhaps it has turned into an extratropical cyclone. Yumi, in America, typhoons are given names, huh? I didn't know that. 🤭
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. ‘Tengu sabaki’ by who? I will search this. Are you home? It’s good! Not to go every week. Nice meals , simple food everyday. Not need delicious food. It will kill your life. Sorry ~ I finally reached to this point. Now, today, I like to have back weed noodle(nihon soba). I have it everyday. How do you eat? Not eat sausage kind~ and~? I would like to live another 10 more years. It will be enough to me. 🤞 happy day together
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 The story 'Tengu-sabaki' that I heard at the NHK Hall🏯 on June 4th originated in Kamigata (Kyoto-Osaka) rakugo and later became widely performed in Edo (Tokyo) rakugo. 😊👺☘️ It is also published as a rakugo picture book and loved by a wide range of generations.📕👌 By the way, today I'm staying home quietly and eating omurice. Today's signature is ketchup.🍳🥚😋💦 The sign on the okonomiyaki the other day said "雨: rain". Were you able to read it ？🤔 Hoitara-ne. 🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ In USA, We call typhoon 🌀 by Name. In 2020, Super Typhoon Goni was the largest and strongest tropical storm in 2020. It was making landfall in the Philippines. The winds of 195 mph(315 km/h). Sorry the people in Philippine. It was a big disaster in the world. In USA, the bad weather is coming in winter, in the East~ New York ~ big storm and snow. All the time the new will surprise us. Here, we are ok. Except wild fires 🔥. It will be the dangerous season till October. Nature holds our life. Let’s thank to the nature and pray 🙏. Nothing happens to us. Peacefully 😊
@ア－さん Good morning! Thank you for a message. Yes. One day, cold~…getting cooler and the other day will be hot here. I need air conditioner at my house. Let’s have a nice day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. “Rakugo”…I had some good friends of Rakugo world. I used to have listened to Rakugo(1-2)a day. I can talk about this topic. …if want to~ I am not listening them today. Because it’s the sort of generation gap. I loved the Vintage Rakugo/ Kosan san. He lived in Tabata in Tokyo. I was with him 3 times(coincidentally)at the fried Pork place at Ueno. I have been there for about 60 years. Where? “Isen:tonkatsu”/Ueno/Yushima When I met him for the 3rd time, he talked to me, “I have seen you 3 times here at the same time”. He was having sake ochoko de~ with shiokara I was with him for 15 minutes ~ till my food came to my tables. It was lunch time. I couldn’t have have alcohol/ he wanted me~. He introduced some his name valued Rakugo story people. I thanked him. I learned a lot in those days. 😅unfortunately I do not remember…what the title of the story ~ I should had made a note. …we could do today. right? Anyway ~ I still Rakugo but probably I had already heard most of nice one in those days(1970~80). (Koasa san)~ he made a new generation about for young people. My time was before his period. I love vintage Rakugo. If you want to hear one~ I will look for and let you know What I loved. ask me!😊
Hello 😉✨ It looks like the rainy season has started here today. Natural disasters are cruel, aren't they? Yes. I hope for peaceful days without any incidents. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming very much for telling Oni-chang about your wonderful experience ! 😄🤗👌💦 Did Yuming meet Mr. Kosan Yanagiya at a fried pork restaurant in Ueno as many as three times? 🫢😳 He was the first person in the world of rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storytelling) to be designated a Living National Treasure（人間国宝）！🙌 He is a household name in Japan, famous for his iconic appearance in the Nagatanien ochazuke(永谷園 お茶漬け) commercials.📺🤗👌 Did you really drink sake from an ochoko with such a high-ranking person while eating salted squid guts ?! That’s amazing !🍶🦑😋🤩 If you have any interesting stories about his classical rakugo performances, please share them with me.🙏🤗😄 Hoitara-mata-ashita-ne. 😴💤🌃🌅🌞✌️💦
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely Yes. Kosan san. He was the great Rakugo ka. I have known lots of his stories. They are great. 😁(nagatanien no ochazuke)you still can have this? (Natsukashii). Right snow, I have no will to go for RAKUGO with today’s young people. I loved Vintage ones! I may go back ~ 1960~80s. enjoyable 😊 How are you going? No trip/ No delicious food. 👍 keep staying home and be nice time(wife). Me, too. 😊
Good morning. 😉✨ The rainy season started in Aichi Prefecture yesterday, but for some reason it's sunny today. A tsunami warning has been issued for the Pacific coast. Thank you. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! Thank you for a message. Yes. My friend in Tokyo, she said it became rainy season. It’s good. Naturally we need ☔️. See~ we will not have rain at all till October. California Blue Sky! Have a good day! 😊
It's depressing when it rains every day, but if it doesn't rain until October, the flowers, fruit trees, and other trees will be watered, and in areas where it's widespread, sprinklers will be used, I suppose. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 Oni-chang also love Vintage RAKUGO. Do Youming know "そば清: Soba-sei" ? 🤔🍜😋 "Soba-sei" is a traditional comic rakugo story about a man named Sei(清) who is famous for his huge appetite. 😋💦 One day, some men in his neighborhood challenge him to eat 30 bowls of soba noodles, offering a reward if he succeeds. 👌Surprisingly, he finishes them with ease. When the amazed men ask how, Sei boasts that he swallowed a plum pit with the noodles, which helps digest them, meaning he can eat even more. The men take him up on his boast and challenge him to eat even more bowls. He eagerly accepts, but the story ends with a hilariously unexpected twist.🤣🤣🤣👘🍜 Oni-chang wrote a rakugo story where a beautiful conger eel ends up swimming in a hot spring. I'll tell you all about it next time !🐟♨️🧖♂️🍺💦 Hoitara-ne. 🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s exactly right! See~ they say “it’s raining ☔️ 😞” in Japan. Here~ “we have rain, thank you 🙏”. We respect the nature. We hope there is no disaster. 🤞
Good evening ☺️✨ It's supposed to be the rainy season, but it was sunny again today ☀. I was able to take care of my vegetable garden, flower beds, and yard while it was still cool this morning. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. What a nice one! lovely I am not sure about “Rakugo lisning” But I will think of it, while I swim(I did before). Thank you. You game a motivation to Hobbs k to listen to Rakugo. 😊
Good morning ☺️✨ Yesterday it was sunny ☀ so I sprayed herbicide in the empty spaces in the garden and field with my husband's help. Weeds grow really well this time of year. We also ran out of cat food yesterday. My husband said he won't buy any more cat food. I think the cats went out last night to look for food. I hope they get used to nature. 🐰💗
