ReMeeting with JK in Odaiba
The winter of the first year I came to Japan (2004), I took a trip to Hong Kong and made a Japanese friend while I was there. A few months later I visited my friend in Hokkaido during the snow festival. The following year in the summer I visited Hokkaido again and he again showed me around.
Now, about 4 years later I finally got a chance to meet up and talk with him again. We met in Odaiba and ate lunch at the little Hong Kong restaurant floor in remembrance of where we meet.
A few floors down at the Odaiba Muscle Park there was a special guest - Makoto Nagano, Sasuke all-star.
We caught up as we walked around Odaiba.
Another lucky opportunity as there was photo shoot near the water.
JK was here on business so over dinner I also got to meet some of his students. Lastly, we visited the Toyota showroom where there was a free concert. This is the closest I have ever been to an orchestra.

Ha, what was Nagano-san practicing in that particular obstacle? Does the screen display a # and then you have to hit the red button corresponding to the # displayed? You should have competed with the guy.
