ギターを弾き、コーヒーを淹れ、本を読む。生活の一つ一つを丁寧に味わっているように見えました。楽器の音は大丈夫ですかと尋ねると、階下は元々店舗で今は空いており、隣人ともお互い音には寛容な関係とのことでした。<br><br>He plays guitar, brews coffee, reads books — each part of daily life seemed to be savored with care. When I asked if the instrument sounds were okay, he said the floor below used to be a shop and is now vacant, and he and his neighbors have a mutually tolerant relationship when it comes to sound.

I could live alone so hard in Japan. They'd tell stories about how alone in Japan I'd be

Living like he is never in a rush to go anywhere. That's how it's supposed to be.
