distant

There is word "Tokoyo" in Japanese Shinto.
If this word translated to english become "distant". 　
　
Tokoyo was considered a country of immortality that is over distant the sea by ancient Japanese people.

Immortality was also included meaning "once died person".
Because if die once, not die again.
In other words country of immortality was also country of dead for ancient Japanese people.

・・・・・・・・・


Well，in japan there is a legend of Urashima.
Urashima of fishermen go into the sea distant who is taken to the turtle that helped.
And he arrive to Hourai mountain of Tokoyo.　
（in this case,Hourai mountain read to Ryugu）

Of course there was the influence of Taoism of China there.



・・・・・・・・・


If people die their soul climb a mountain.
And become one of tutelary god of their families.

Ancient Japanese people had believed that also.


After Buddhism introduction.

Their soul had passed through hell valley and Futile effort of Buddhism in the mountain.
Then their soul climb to joudo of the summit of the mountain.
And become one of tutelary god of their families.

Japanese people had believed so.

(Just maybe mountain was bridge to climb to heaven for japanese people.)

introduction of noritama★tokitama

Well，joudo-daira

Kings of this land.
They are called "Oshu Fujiwara".
("Oshu" meaning is "northeast region of Japan")
　
The 12th century, they ruled this land over four generations.
Except the last king who died in the war, they were buried as a mummy in the golden temple.

・・・・・・・・・

When have realize heaven on earth by the merit of Buddhist scriptures.
Therefore，when this world has become the kingdom of heaven.
Then their mummy reborn in this land as one of god of Buddhism.

”Reproduce heaven on earth by gold.”

This mummy idea comes from it as well.

・・・・・・・・・
　
Well，joudo-daira. (lol)
And hourai mountain.
　
The elixir of life on Hourai mountain.
Reborn in joudo.　（reborn in the kingdom of heaven ）
　
These two is unrelated ideologically?　

on earth

Temple that is in the back of a japan's coin is engraved.
The name of temple is "Byodo".
This temple was built to luxurious on the dynasty era of japan.

"If you doubt the existence of heaven, go to Byodo."
"Byodo is Joudo (heaven) on earth."

People at that time said so .

Well，temple that mimics Byodo was built in that land by King of the Northeast of Japan.
This kingdom was established after the revolt. (I write before)

This land was the only gold producing areas in Japan.
The king therefore was able to use gold freely.

That temples was golden all.
Of course it would means to flaunt wealth.

”Reproduce Joudo（Heaven） on earth by gold.”

However，there was such a thought in Buddhist culture in japan of the late 12th century.
　　
・・・・・・・・・
　
Well，joudo-daira.

This landscape is Hell rather than Heaven.　
I thought so.

However this place foliage is very beautiful in autumn.
That landscape is like a reproduce Heaven on earth by gold.

I think so.　

conclusive evidence

From the time of the dynasty of more than a thousand years ago，there was no distinction between Buddha and Japanese God in Japan.

The two had been faith as one for a long time.

But after the Meiji Restoration，this two had been separated.
Japanese god called"shinto"， had became only state religion.
And Buddhism had been crackdown.
　
・・・・・・・・・　

In the Shinto，mountain is important as a place of faith.
But originally there was also a famous temple of Buddhism there.
Those had been erased at this time.
And lost a large amount of cultural heritage as Buddha statue and Buddhist painting.

”That was a national folly.”
Author of a book that I've read said so.
　
For example part of "blessing of the sun temple" was independent as Bandai shrine.
And the temple itself was abolished.　（Revival in different locations on half a century after）　
Thereby，such the mountain has been the subject of worship of only Shinto from a long time ago.
Have given such illusion to the current people.
　
・・・・・・・・・　
　
Joudo-daira was a place of mountain worship.

I don't know that.
Because there is no conclusive that evidence.

Well，once again here.

In the Shinto (japanese god)，mountain is important as a place of faith.
Originally there was also a famous temple of Buddhism there.
Because the two had been faith as one for a long time.
But those temple had been erased at this time.
And lost a large amount of cultural heritage as Buddha statue and Buddhist painting.

”That was a national folly.”
Author of a book that I've read said so.　

・・・・・・・・・　
　
bandai mountain (place of worship in the Shinto)
joudo-daira (in Buddhism like heaven)
issai-kyou （meaning Complete Buddhist scriptures）
hourai mountain (maybe in Taoism like heaven)
　

new wave

Tokuichi is not a disciple of Kukai surely.　
He was the high priest of Hosso Sect of Buddhism that lived in this land.
　
Kukai was the founder of the Shingon sect in Japan.　
Hosso sect was old sect compared to the Shingon sect of Kukai at that time.

By the way，to same age，there was one more person who had been brings a new sect to japan.
The man who named ”Saityou”.
He was the founder of the Tendai sect in Japan.
　
Kukai and Saityou.
This two men were representatives of a new wave of Japanese Buddhism.
　
Tokuichi was conflicting viewpoints with these two monks as a representative of the old wave. （especially to Saityou）　

・・・・・・・・・

Why is there such a legend, then?
Because Tokuichi was defeated in a dispute with Saityou.
Then Hosso sect became waning.　

Conversely sect of Kukai and Saityou had spread throughout Japan.
This temple might was temple of Hosso sect originally.
But from some time，this temple became a temple of the Shingon sect.
Perhaps this legend was made after that.

・・・・・・・・・
　
Of course，first, there was a decline of Hosou sect.
Then looked for that reason to the defeat of Tokuichi.
It may be this case in fact.
　
But would certainly was this era was the turn of the era.
These two new wave has continued to the present day after more than a thousand years.

blessing of the sun

There is Bandai mountain to southwest of Azuma mountain.
According to one theory，the meaning of "Bandai" is ”bridge of rocks to climb to heaven”.
As the name implies，Bandai mountain is a symbol of this area.

・・・・・・・・・
　
Once upon a time in Japan.
Bandai mountain had called "Disease mountain" originally.
And people had been tormented to this mountain.

1200 years ago，this mountain erupted and made a huge lake in one night.
People had deepened the suffering.

Buddhist monk "Kukai" in Kyoto who heard it was came to this land.
（Kyoto is the capital of Japan at that time）
　
He prayed to the Buddha，and drove off the evil.
And he built a temple called "e-niti-ji" on this land.
("e-niti-ｊi" meaning is "temple of blessing of the sun")
He did leave this temple to his disciple "Tokuichi" and he walked away.

Then，from some time，Disease mountain was became called Bandai mountain.
(bridge of rocks to climb to heaven)　

And they lived happily ever after.
　
Fin.　

・・・・・・・・・
　　
Of course this is mere legend.　
Huge lake called "inawashiroko" was made at tens of thousands years ago in fact.
　
Also there is no record that Kukai came to this land.
（Yes he was a real person）

According to one theory，the man who actually built "e-niti-ji" was Tokuichi.
（There is no accurate record about that）　
　

zipangu

Well，west of joudo-daira is Hourai mountain.
　
North of joudo-daira，there was "issaikyou" mountain.　
"Issaikyou" translated to english become ”The complete Buddhist scriptures”.
Incidentally，this mountain is the active volcano.
　
・・・・・・・・・

The mid-eleventh century，there was a man named Abeno-sadato on this land.
Era he was alive, there was a great revolt here.　
　
He battled as a member of the rebel，and eventually dead by defeat.

By the way，when seen that revolt from the center government of Japan.
Of course that was revolt.

But that revolt was a struggle to gain autonomy from their perspective.
(I think that revolt wasn't a struggle for independence)

At that time，people of this land called "emishi". (Is not a race)
They had been exploited as people who were conquered.

・・・・・・・・・

Well, this struggle had became failed.
But immediately after that，kingdom had established in this land.
This kingdom lasted a hundred years.　

"Golden Island Zipangu"
　
Later，impression left by this kingdom was introduced so to the West by Marco Polo of Italian merchant.

・・・・・・・・・

Well，going back to.

"Abeno-sadato was filled the complete Buddhist scriptures on this mountain"

There is its legend，and it has become the origin of the name of this mountain.
　
　
pure land
elixir of life
the complete Buddhist scriptures

Since ancient times，this land is "area" like that?

elixir of life

I went to play in Fukushima of Japan northeast region at early summer of last year.
At that time, I went to plateau called ”Joudo-daira” of Azuma mountain of Fukushima city’s west.
Joudo-daira's landscape was bleak because Azuma mountain is active volcano.
　
By the way，if "joudo" translated to English become "Pure Land".　
joudo is Buddhism term， it is such a meaning.
( In other word，like heaven)
Japanese people had believed the souls of those who died will go joudo.

But I thought when I went to joudo-daira.
　
”This landscape is Hell rather than Pure Land.” 　

When I thought so simply，this content was start.
(Of course，”joudo-daira” is mere place name)

・・・・・・・・・

I looked at the map after get home from Fukushima.
There was mountain called ”Hourai mountain” in the west of joudo-daira.
(chinese accent Penglai mountain)　

Once upon a time in China.
First emperor of China wanted to become immortal.　
　
"There is the elixir of life on Hourai mountain over the sea"　
　
There was such a legend at that time.

"Go to Hourai mountain！"
”And get elixir of life！”

He ordered so to a man named Xu Fu.　
Then Xu Fu went to Hourai mountain by ship and never came back.
Therefore，first emperor of China was not able to become immortal.
He died as a human being for granted.

・・・・・・・・・

Until now，I think it was mere legend.
But the elixir of life exist on Fukushima.
That's amazing！

(Of course，”Hourai mountain” is mere place name)

13: Epilogue

”The nuclear power plants will has abolished gradually”
　
I think that is better idea.
Above all there is precedent as this accident.
　
However，”Fukushima is dangerous”.　
Give me a break.

Of course safety credulity is dangerous.
There is a dangerous place to enter in reality.

"Properly afraid"

This is the best words with respect to this accident.
Don't be afraid to unnecessary.
I think the current environment of Fukushima can live without any problems.

・・・・・・・・・

Therefore，important is provide accurate information for Fukushima people.
Of course I'm an amateur with respect to nuclear power.
　
"Which is accurate information?"

That judgement is difficult for me.

Accurate information by experts.
Experts who can judgment that it is accurate information.
So both is important.

”This person statement is accurate information.”

But amateur must think so with intuitive judgment after all.

In other words，"I will trust this person"

Who is correct？
For example the long time will have solved this matter even the amateur.

However now I think.

"I will trust this person"

And the result is　" Properly afraid " .
Don't be afraid to unnecessary.
I think the current environment of Fukushima can live without any problems.
　
・・・・・・・・・

Of course many amateur may the judgment of the exact opposite.　

Matter of nuclear power.
That is may matter of sense for the amateur? (lol)

Well, today is more than one year from the accident.
Who is correct?
I can judge that soon.

However it may my sense.

However people of the same my sense has been noticeable recently.
I think so.

Same my sense people has increased.
If so, might not be a matter of sense. (lol)

However，for example the nuclear power plants accidents occur today.
The reality is completely safe.

However life of people living in the vicinity will be destroyed surely.
Then they to face tremendous hardship.

This is might be the fate of named ”nuclear”.


”The nuclear power plants will has abolished gradually”
　
I think that is better idea.

heavens blue

i made song

Brand new heaven's door
Brand new 7days

12: I like Fukushima

f: Don't walk too much fast.
 Because snake lives here…hey snake there！

i: Wow!

f: Watch out，viper lives here also.

i: Come on brother.
 Well，lake Inawashiro water is warm than I thought.

f: Yeah，can swim here already.

i: This is good wide shallow beach.

f: No, suddenly becomes deeper.
 To swim in a location other than specified is dangerous.

・・・・・・・・・

i: Oh,  cicada crows

f: This cicada is  "higurashi".

i: This cicada name?

f: Yeah, cicada of early autumn.
 Season is still early summer，but this area is cool.

i: Fukushima is nice place.

f: You bet.
 However I think.

 "If nuclear power plant is explosion again"

 Because there is electric power，we can be rich and comfortable life.
 Of course I understand that.

 "A nuclear power plant in Fukushima registered as a World Heritage site"

 So, I hope it. (lol)
 　
 This nuclear power plant accident.
 Registered as a World Heritage Site, and leave to posterity forever.
 　
 A result of pursuing the rich and useful life, mankind has caused this accident.
 Keep in mind there, we should pursue a rich and comfortable life.
 Because accidents like this is not needed forever.
　
 I like Fukushima.
 I will continue to live here.

 Hey，just good time.
 Go to Koriyama city.

11: I thank all

i: When go to Lake Inawashiro, we can go to Aizu city also?

f: You want go to Koriyama city at around 4 o'clock?
 In that case, Aizu city is a little distant.
　
 Oh yeah just the other day I went to Aizu city.
 There was no tourist.
 Aizu city does not matter to radioactivity.
 The same level as Tokyo at least.

i: The amount of radiation is related to the mountain?
　
f: Perhaps，there is strong influence of wind and rain rather than the mountain.

 Radioactivity leaked into the atmosphere at the time of the hydrogen explosion of nuclear power plants.

 It carried in the wind and fell to the ground by the rain.
 Then it buildup as a puddle in low place.
 Finally soil absorption.

 I think it is almost.

・・・・・・・・・

i: Hey，police car has been parked there.
That patrol car have written with Ishikawa prefectural police.

f: That patrol car is support from other prefectures.
 After huge earthquake were many more support immediately.

Perhaps even now Fukushima police manpower is shortage.
Because they must be to guard of the evacuation area by nuclear power plant accident.
　
I thank all.

10: joudo (meaning the Pure Land)

f: When we still go up the mountain，there is a place called joudo-daira (Plain of the Pure Land).

There always occur volcanic gas，so trees don't survive.
That landscape is comparatively strange .

And restaurant there.
Wanna get something to eat.　
 　
i: Yes，let's.


・・・・・・・・・

 ”Danger! ”
 ”Volcanic gas generation!”　
　
（There are a lot of like sign）

f: Yeah, open the window here is dangerous.
 And if go a little more, arrive to joudo-daira.

i: Is there something there?

f: There is a mound like a miniature of Mount Fuji called "Azuma-ko-fuji".
 We can climb to there.

・・・・・・・・・

i: True, this mound is a miniature of Mount Fuji.
 By the way，this parking is free?
 Everywhere is free really.

 This skyline is currently free of charge.
 Outside prefecture people is know it?

f: May not know.
 
i: That's a pity.

・・・・・・・・・


i: This mound is like crater.
 Mountain over there are still raised plume.
 Desolate landscape.

 This is Pure Land (meaning like Heaven) that is thought of the people in the past?
 If anything, this landscape is the entrance of hell・・・


f: "Plain of the Pure Land" is not just here.
 Above all, There is a very beautiful autumn leaves.
 Of course，summer・・・. (lol)

i: I shall come here also in the autumn. （lol）
　

9: tubakuro valley

f: Want you go Koriyama station at around 4 o'clock?

i: If possible it.

f: I tell you what.
 In east of fukushima city，there is a toll road that called "Bandai Azuma Skyline".
 There is a very beautiful autumn leaves.
 Of course，summer is now.
　
 That aside， toll road are open for free now.
 So passes through that toll road to go to Lake Inawashiro，then go to Koriyama.
 I think it will be a good time just so.

・・・・・・・・・

i: What did you think when you know the nuclear power plant accident at first?

f: Lifeline was all useless.
 No food.
 I could not afford to worry about it.

・・・・・・・・・

f: No car on the road.

i: Because today is  a weekday.

f: However Bandai Azuma Skyline is tourist destination.

 Well，when go a little more, there is a place called "Tubakuro valley".
 There is a very beautiful autumn leaves.
 Of course，summer is now. (lol)

i: It is not the reason?

f: I guess so.
 Let's stop by a little to Tubakuro valley.

・・・・・・・・・

i: This is superb view.
 How much depth of this valley?
 About one hundred meters?
 More?

 Sure，come on here at the time of the autumn leaves that will better.
 Come take a photo of the valley from the bridge.

・・・・・・・・・

f: What are you wandering here and there on the bridge.
 Be misunderstood.

 Well，you had taken pictures only hand stretched out to under the bridge.
 When I seen that, I thought you was okay. (lol)
 The photo was taken?

i: Yeah, the beautiful railing.
　

today's weather feel good

i made song

Of course nobody knows tomorrow's things.
However, today's weather feel good.

８: great popularity Fukushima

i: What time now?　
　
f: Shortly after 11 pm.

i: Walk a little？
 Because I’m a little drunk.

f: Ok.

i: For example，the gutter of that road is a high radiation dose?

f: I haven't measured, but possibility is there.
 Because radioactive material accumulate in the rain flow.　

 Gutter of the road.
 Part of the garden.
 Low place may high basically.

i: Well，I feel this town is good.

f: You bet.
 Oh，this shop sweets is very delicious.
　
i: This is famous shop?

f: This town is my born town.
 I lived here by time of a child.

i: I see.
Hey, just strangely bright sky over there.

f: It's the direction of the nuclear power plant.

i: The restoration work of a nuclear power plant is 24-hour?

f: Maybe that light is other's.
 A nuclear power plant is much distant.
 Of course, the restoration work would have done on 24-hour.

i: Do you know？

 ”Radiation of very small amount is good for your health.
　
 There is also a theory like that.
 Just maybe，after several decades，Fukushima may have become a very long life only.

 "if you want to live longer will go to fukushima!"

 People all around the world will begin to say so，and Fukushima may become great popularity.
 And very many people will come to Fukushima from all around the world.

 Well，I make an irresponsible statement also.


f: You are not responsible position.

i: Right.
　　
 Thanks for today.
 Regards tomorrow.

７： reconstruction

f: He is my old friend came from Tokyo.

she: Did you come to a volunteer of the affected areas?

i: No，I think this word will rude maybe，but I came on tourism only.

s: That does not matter.
 Please go look at the current state of the Fukushima.

 Oh yeah，I'm wearing T-shirts that was bought at charity event.
 (Fukushima will our best.)

i: This tavern was okay?

s: No，there was heavy damage.
 I didn't think this tavern can open again at that time.
 But，this tavern had open again with the cooperation of a lot of people.

f: Is natural that help each other on difficult times.
 Will our best! (lol)

s: Yes.

・・・・・・・・・

f: The event of an earthquake, I was in the 7th floor of a building in Sendai city.
 In a terrible shaking, power outage, the ceiling fall.

 Do you remember?
 Little before this huge earthquake，was earthquake.
 First I thought this is the aftershock of it.
 I said so to person who were near at that time.

 "Shaking of earthquake quite different, I must die！”
　
 But he screamed so.
 I had aware of the death when heard it.

 And I went outside after the shaking finally subsided.
　
 Debris of Glass ... they're scattered.
 Screaming people who was crouched on the road.
　
 I thought ”this is reality?”

・・・・・・・・・

i: Well，Sendai city had very vibrancy.

f: Yeah, that vibrancy to reconstruction.
 But case of Fukushima there is exist accident of nuclear power plants.
 Therefore people living in Fukushima has been uncertain future now.

 Above all，a growing number of people committing suicide at Fukushima.
 That may still increase.
 When the hope to live has completely broken，people will have to die only.

 ”Don't make an irresponsible statement.”
　
 For this reason I request so to person who position of a responsible of Japan.

 Do you know?

 "This is irresponsible statement"
 ”Don't believe”
　
 Think so，but that only hope to live.
 There are such many people.

６: my living environment

i: This highway is still doing repair work.


f: Yeah.
 This highway had heavy damage after immediately earthquake
 However this highway was only lifeblood of Fukushima.
 Fukushima survived by relief goods that was transported in this highway.
 Of course, even now.

i: Lifeline was all useless?

f: My house?

i: Yes.

f: I think that was different on the location.
 My house case in Fukushima city，electricity is three days, water is one week, gasoline is one month.

 My family had live in the light of the candle.
 That was still better.
 We could not wash our hands a one week because water was very precious

f: Soon get to hotel, there is my familiar tavern there.
 Do you wanna go for a drink?
 This car will ask the chauffeur service.

i:  You bet.
 That area is some extent high radiation dose?

f: By my mental arithmetic，about thirty times of before hydrogen explosion of nuclear power plants.

i: Television of fukushima is announce in detail the radiation dose of the day?
 Detail is not.
 More details must be announce on circular notice of the town.

i: Radiation dose of your house was measured yourself？

f: I borrowed equipment to be examined radiation dose in person.
 Because it is fairly high price.

 Result，most high radiation dose was ４５ micro sievert in pin point of the garden.
 But, except it isn't high radiation dose.

 Into my house is low radiation dose.
 It is 0.2 micro sievert.
 　
 And radiation dose of outside my house is about 1.2 micro sievert.
 Of course，on the level of my living environment.

 Well，arrive soon.

５: I 'm so tired

f: Are you born in Nagasaki, huh?

i: Yes.　
 But, why?

f: The atomic bomb of Nagasaki.

i: What?

f: There is discrimination even now?

i: Have you heard the discrimination?

f: I never heard of it.

i: Me too.

・・・・・・・・・

i: Well，Sendai city is as usual than I thought.

f: Reconstruction was quicker because this area is center of Sendai city .
 Above all, Japan's current building seismic resistance may high.
 The building itself withstood the huge earthquake.
 Japan has many earthquake that is not in vain.
　
 Hey，aren't you hungry？
 Wanna get something to eat in Sendai station？

i: Why not.


・・・・・・・・・

f: Is good here?

i: Yeah.
 Oh,  this Restaurant’s BGM is the Beatles.
 Everyone has listen to the Beatles. (lol)
　
 …on Twitter.

f: What?

i: "When I tired of listen to music, listen to the Beatles"
 I saw a tweet like that.
　
 We are tired?

f: Of course. (lol)
 By the way，highway will be free now.
 Because I have a certificate disaster.
 So go back to Fukushima on the highway.
 Any thoughts?
　
i: Right.
 Because I'm tired little. (lol)

４: going north

i: Four months from the earthquake.
 This road still closed to traffic.

f: Oh, that warning?　
 No problem.
 We can ignore it.　
　
i: Really?

f: Look that car.
 That car is driving usually on this road while avoiding the warning signs.
　
i: No doubt.

f: After the earthquake，this road became closed to traffic immediately.
 And as it is.　
 It can not be helped because had extensive damage by earthquake.
 Maybe there would be the priority there.

i: I see.

・・・・・・・・・

f: Rain has been falling.　
 Let's go to a different place.
 Above all，I don't like that wandering around the disaster area.
 Go to Sendai city?

i: Sendai city is distant from here？

f: Go north along Route 6 and merge onto Route 4.　
 This drive will takes about two hours.
 Is that Ok with you?
　
i: Ok.
 By the way，Sendai city also had extensive damage?

f: Yes.　
 When I just was in Sendai city，the earthquake had.
 At first，I could not understand what had happened.
 The entire city of Sendai had became a power outage immediately by the earthquake.

 I was only lucky that gate of my car’s parking lot was able to opened manually.
 I tried to go home of Fukushima city in a hurry.

 But the road had extensive damage.　
 Major traffic jam.
 Huge aftershocks continue.
 Stoppage of telephone communication.
　
 I did not know that reason at that time.
 The road to Sendai airport there were a lot of police officers.
 　
 I could not understand the situation completely.

・・・・・・・・・

i: Also Sendai city had damage of the tsunami？

f: Yes.
 Tsunami had been came close to center of sendai city.

i: You knew that the tsunami had came at that time?

f: I didn't know at all.
 Because Sendai city situation was extreme confusion.
 At least I didn't know at all.

３: quiet

f: The place of comparatively high radiation dose is around here.

i: Here?

f: Yes.

i: If you don't say so, I don't notice it at all.

f: Well，this place have been published.
 But there is more the places of comparatively high radiation dose in fact.

i: Really?
 For example?

f: Part of garden of my house. (lol)
 There is point of comparatively high radiation dose there.

i: Did you measure on yourself?

f: Not just me, life itself is at risk.
 In that case everyone will measure seriously.


i: People who live in this area will have been evacuation?

f: I think so.
 But there is  problem.
 Sneak thief has been increasing recently to a place like this.
 Of course their target is house of after evacuation.
 Even if it is not so，evacuated person's property may become all useless by the nuclear power plant accident.

i:Decontamination･･･

f: I hope that is possible.

・・・・・・・・・

f: When we go this road， intersects with Route 6 of parallel to the sea

  If turn to the right on Route 6, we can go to the nuclear power plant.
 Of course can't go there in fact.

 And This Route 6 was boundary line of tsunami damage
 Sea side area across the Route 6 had extensive damage.
　
 Well，arrive soon.

・・・・・・・・・


There was nothing.

"I don't know where driving now"

This place is in places such as came to every holiday.
In such a place，my friend said so many times.

The Sea was quiet.

2: to the sea

i: The sea is your go well?

f: Not even once.

i: What?

f: From the earthquake, I don't go there even once.
 Of course  before that I went the sea well.
 Because, in the countryside as Fukushima had limited the place to go on holiday.

i: Your friends were safe everyone?

f: There was restaurant near the sea, I often went there.

 Tsunami after earthquake.
 A woman who had been working in there was missing.
 Also her home was near the sea.
 Her clue had nothing.

・・・・・・・・・

f: Unidentified persons information had been written everyday on the newspaper.
 It was written in detail.
 ”May find something.”
 I was reading everyday desperately.

 Not just me.
 "May find something"
 Everyone was reading everyday desperately.

 I remember well.
 That day was very cold.
　
 Clothes that unidentified persons was wearing.
 That characters on the newspaper.

 I think it would was cold so.

1: The Beatles

（In Fukushima Station）
　
Well，my friend should have come to pick me by car.
Oh, there.　

・・・・・・・・・

i: Long time no see!
 Thanks for waiting for me today.

f: Welcome to Fukushima.
 Have passed five years from last met?

i: Maybe.
 Time flies. (lol)

 ...Hey! Are you listening to the Beatles now?

f: Yeah, recently I listen well to the Beatles.
