Hi everyone, it’s been a while! October is almost over, and it’s getting really cold these days. I can really feel that winter is coming. It’s hard to believe it was so hot in the summer. Anyway I love winter, so I’m very excited. But I’m not good with the cold, so I try to keep myself warm every day. In winter, there is the big event called Christmas! The city is full of beautiful lights, and my favorite Christmas songs are playing everywhere. Just walking outside makes me happy. After Christmas, there is New Year! I love watching special TV programs, eating osechi and ozoni with my family. There are so many things I enjoy at that times. And it’s also my birthday! Every year goes by so fast, but this year I feel so much more. I want to do my best for the last two months of 2025. By doing so, I can finish the year without regrets.

Why English Still Feels Heavy — Even After Years of Learning? Many adults have spent years learning English. Courses, teachers, books, practice. And yet, something still feels off. You may notice it in meetings, interviews, or presentations: you don’t sound like yourself. Your thinking slows down. Your authority shrinks. This is rarely a language problem. In my work with professionals from 70+ countries, one pattern keeps repeating: when people switch to English, they unconsciously switch roles. They don’t speak as communicators. They speak as students — careful, cautious, trying to be correct. But real-life English is not a test. It’s not about proving knowledge. It’s about carrying pressure and expressing who you are. A student role has limited capacity. A communicator role can hold complexity, imperfection, and responsibility. In my latest podcast, I explore one simple question that changes everything: Who are you being when you speak English? If learning still feels endless, this may open a new door. 🎧 the episode on my profile.

This week was full of exciting moments. On Monday, I learned a new dance from someone in a different Yosakoi team. It was not my usual team, so everything felt fresh and new. The way they danced was very powerful and inspiring. I think I was able to learn some good moves from them. On Wednesday, I went to eat shabu-shabu with my junior. It was an all-you-can-eat restaurant, so we ate a lot! I was really full and happy. After dinner, my junior surprised me with many snacks. I didn’t expect that, so I was very touched and thankful. On Saturday, I went to the National Stadium to watch a rugby match. Japan played hard, but unfortunately, they lost. Still, the game was very exciting and fun to watch. The energy in the stadium was amazing, and I enjoyed cheering with the crowd. On Sunday, I cleaned my room. While cleaning, I found many old things that brought back memories. I looked at old photos and letters, and I felt a little nostalgic. It reminded me of how much I have grown. This week was busy, but I’m glad I had so many meaningful experiences.
