Bryan Adams Concert

テーマ:Reviews
I just got back from a Bryan Adams concert at the Budokan. It was awesome! Loved it! If you want to see a great concert, he'll be there again tomorrow night.

Bryan Adams is one of my favorite singers. We used his song "Everything I Do, I Do It For You" in our wedding. Also, you may remember, I used his Christmas song for my very first FREE HUG video.

I think it is the best Christmas song of all time. And the video I made... it's pretty cool, too. Take a look if you missed it before.


Until next time...

Shodou 書道 for the new year: 芽 (bud, sprout)

テーマ:Japan
In my Japanese class, I did my best to do 書道 (しょどう、pronounced shodou) -- Japanese calligraphy.

$Welcome to Vincent's Room (瓶栓斗の部屋)

Every year, you can choose a Chinese character that you hope will represent the new year. This year, I chose (め、pronounced may) which means "bud" or "sprout." You may notice that the calligraphy looks a little different from the typed character. Calligraphy characters are sometimes written slightly different, so it looks fancy.

$Welcome to Vincent's Room (瓶栓斗の部屋)

Anyway, I chose this because I hope this year to be a year of rebirth and new life, especially in Tohoku. Those who passed on must be remembered, and those who lost so much must continue on. It's winter now, but spring will come. Flowers will grow again. Houses will be rebuilt. Homes will be re-established. Life and love will go on.


Until next time...

You can also pick up a copy of the Japan Times today!

Below are the videos about my experiences gathering "free hugs" in four cities that have experienced disasters in the past and taking the "free hugs" to the tsunami-hit area of Ofunato...

You may have seen the videos "Angels" and "After the Darkness" on Youtube.

Here they are again. I hope you enjoy them...

"Angels" (song by Beverly Graham)



"After the Darkness" (song by Beverly Graham)



I want to thank the Japan Times for spreading the word about the important work of Ganbaranba. The recovery efforts and reconstruction efforts in Tohoku continue to be an ongoing process. It's important to continue to give the people in Tohoku as much support as possible.
