Your Name Is Hope

Good bye, 2015! Hello, 2016!

If you celebrate tonight, this video should help. It’s Nogizaka46’s first showing at the Kouhaku Uta Gessen in Japan and it’s a very big deal. They spent all their focus to achieving this goal. Four years, 50+ members, 10+ graduated members, scandals, heartbreaks, fun, hardship: it’s represented by these two and half minutes. Congratulations, girls! Ganabarre! I hope the next year is as accomplished as this past one.

They did their 5th single, Kimi no wa Kibou (Your name is hope). At least Nagashima got in the senbatsu to sing. And all members are there. ALL! I love these girls…

Bonne Anniversaire

First Post!

Has it been six years?

Yup. Today is BrowserMetrics’s birthday! Happy birthday to me!

I would like to thank all six of my readers. With all of you showing up two years into my blogging. It is nice to think that I’ve got someone reading at least. I know I’m worldwide, too.

Here’s to another six more.

“[T]he emotional core of opposition to reform was blatant fear-mongering, unconstrained either by the facts or by any sense of decency.”

Paul Krugman, “Fear Strikes Out” NY Times, Monday March 22, 2010

Congratulations, Ness & Rod!
