The Japanese wrestling team, led by three-time Olympic champion Saori Yoshida, won the World Cup. Yoshida lost her father by a subarachnoid hemorrhage in March. They had a close relationship, so she must have been depressed. Despite that, she did a great job, and I'm really proud of her.
The Sizuoka district court decided to reopen Hakamada's case.
Hakamada is considered a murderer who killed a family of four in 1966.
He has been released because the previous DNA test might be bogus.
If this is true, he had been prisoned for 48 years and might be executed under false accusation.
This story is something I will follow now to see what happens.

Hell! I'm Otodo. Welcome to my journal!
I have been told that if I want to write well in English, I should practis writing every day. This would be challenging for me because I am Japanese and I live in Tokyo. I sometimes translate American TV dramas and movies into Japanese. Even though writing in English is difficult for me, I'll still give it a go.
