I was shocked to read the news that Whitney Houston passed away yesterday.

I have been a great fan of her since her debut.

All her songs are awesome, and one of my favorite songs is "Run To You."



This song reminds me of my little passions.

Another song which gave me the pride to work as a teacher was "Greatest Love of All."



Just two years ago, I went to her concert in Osaka for the first time. It was her restart since she had left show business because of her drug problem.

Luckily, I got a VIP seat, so I could see her close.

Although her voice was hoarse from singing too much, her concert was so energetic!

At that time, I felt I had to go to her concert no matter what happened, thinking maybe I would never see her again.

However, I have never expected "the day" would come so soon.

My condolences to Whitney Houston.

I will always love you, Whitney!
