Oｈ ! My God Story NO. ７５
A New Year in New York
A New Year is not a big deal for Americans.
But a New Year is very important for me.
I invited four Japanese to my office two years ago
for New Year's celebration.
We had "Osechi" in New York.
We went to a Japanese supermarket in New Jersey
and bought a lot of
Japanese food and a bottle of sake.
We enjoyed the taste of "Osechi" after having a toast with sake.
It was something special for me
to celebrate a New Year
in a foreign country.
Everyone had a great time.
We are all here for the different reasons.
A guitarist, a pianist, a flutist, a manager and me.
But we feel like a family just because we are all Japanese.
We all miss Japan.
We love Japan even when we are far away.
