I admire people with a strong personality because my way of thinking is very ordinary. To me, anyone who displays a distinct personality has great appeal. I think the society we're living today was formed by individuality and special talents being used to their fullest - like in the James Bond movies. The world is in need of people with strong personalities. But individuality is your own property. It's not something you can impose on other people. However, when everyone takes things in different ways, life gets very complicated.

Coming home from school, I met Keiko at the bicycle park. I carried my Yamato and Last Concert records and Keiko carried my heavy schoolbag for me in the basket of her bicycle. She left me at the bottom of the pedestrian bridge. She said there was something she had to do. I like that kind of honest attitude. But apparently some of the others think Keiko is heartless.
