Having some miserable days due to my last employer, I have, at long last, started moving forward. I left Anchor Technology, a privately held web integration and data centre company, and I am now working as an independent contractor on my own.
While doing some part-time consulting projects for some clients, I have started writing a business plan for my own start-up. Hope I can tell you what I am planning shortly.
In early April, I was travelling around Kii Mountains, a World Heritage site in Japan. It was a great diversion, so now I’m completely OK.

It’s been a long long time since I last updated this blog. I guess some people think I have junked this blog, or others think there has been some trouble with me. But I am OK. It’s just been a busy since I changed jobs in Jun.
Any news?
Well… The new job is challenging and I enjoy it. I have been assigned to finance director of an IT solution company.
My wife is fine. She also changed jobs and now she’s working as a dispatched worker. More relaxing and more time to enjoy her life.
I am still enthusiastic about golf, but scores are still terrible…
Takashi has come back to Japan from UK and we had a small reunion with some MBAs.
I’ll keep you posted from now on.
Maybe…
If I can…

The yearbook
"
When I got home late at night, well-drunk, I found an envelope from Cambridge. Yes, I knew what it would be. Should be the yearbook.
It is almost incredible that I stayed in Cambridge with the extraordinary classmates. I couldn’t believe it was just a few months ago.
Well, maybe I drank too much today, but this yearbook is going to be a treasure. The whole year is the treasure.
Iryna, who edited the book, did a great job. I’m really grateful.

As a matter of fact, I started working at the beginning of October. It’s been a long time since I last worked, so I haven’t got used to a working life. Shinagawa, in which I am working, has become one of the largest business centres in Tokyo. There was nothing at the office site before I left Japan three years ago. But now quite a lot of people are working there.
Well, everything looks strange…

This is my first attempt to blog in English. The idea is to report my Tokyo life when I go back to Japan. While I’m in Cambridge, I don’t think there is much to talk about. Anyway I’ll just keep this page and upload some photos.
