Watashi no Mirai (meaning my future), a project aiming the society with 100% renewable energy and justice, promotes submissions of opinions on Japan’s Strategic Energy Plan. The Agency of Natural Resources and Energy opens the opinion box until the start of public comments (the deadline doesn’t seem to be announced yet).
I just submitted one. Stopping and decommissioning of nuclear power plants and acceleration of renewable energy is really critical for our future.
Let’s encourage government to switch to renewable energy.

Having said that, today’s ‘time for that’
My aunt has come over to Tokyo again, this time to watch kabuki. Since the office I use is near the Kabukiza (main kabuki theatre in Tokyo), it’s nearly becoming a regular to go watch kabuki monthly (at least when Somegoro Ichikawa appears!), as it’s such convenient to watch a stage after work.
This time, the programme included aunt’s favourite, “Kanjincho!” Another programme of the night “Imoseyama Onna Teikin,” was such a dreadful story, but I finally watched Tamasaburo Bando plays kabuki! I wanted to watch one since when I watched his dance (nihon buyo).

We had dinner at the Kabukiza branch of the famous Japanese restaurant Kitcho in between the stages. Mother and I saved this for aunt’s visit, so it was also our first time. It was so tasty, but no photo to upload, since I feared to be regarded as a country bumpkin by asking for photo permission. It occasionally happens when I go somewhere more luxury than I’m used to.
The following day was a lunch gathering with cousins of my mother and aunt. It was a rare occasion that they all got together (and somehow I was also in). It’s really nice to have opportunities to have relatives’ gatherings other than life events.
