My secret life

My secret life

From yesterday we looked on one article which is called ‘My secret life.’ My article is about one of famous comedians, Ed Byrne.

I like his answer towards this question; My greatest regret… is that I have no regrets. Wait – that is one regret. Fantastic! But hang on – I think that has cancelled itself out now. So now I have no regrets now.And then now it is my turn.


The home I grew up in… has been detached house, which is in Chofu-city, Tokyo. All names of Japanese towns have meanings. In regard to my town, it means the department of tax. In other words, in the past, 400 years ago, people living around my town needed to come to my town to pay their tax which was imposed on their rice harvest.

When I was a child I wanted to be… a kind of insect because, at that time, I really did not like insects, especially ants. Therefore the clever boy thought that it was the best way I myself became it. Actually I do not remember this story but my mother often tells me it and makes me laugh a lot.

The moment that changed me for ever… was the period when I was the captain of my baseball team. I needed to manage my team so that the team worked well. In order to do so, I had especially cared about the relationship to my team mates. After that I think I began to think more about others.

My greatest inspiration… is the last match of every season in my sport lacrosse. However it brought to my attention to my lack of my ability for getting the championship which is the title of the number 1.
If I could change one thing about myself… I would like to care less about everything. Perhaps this is because I am Japanese, who care about many things more than other nationalities, anyway I am always worried about something, such as relationship with my friends, my future, my favorite woman. I understand well that if I care about them, there will be no changes about them, but I am worried about it.

What I see when I look in the mirror… is my hair style because I have natural curly hair. If I do nothing for my hair after I wake up and before I go out, you must see me as someone strange and never want to walk with me.

My style icon… I do not have it. If I had to say, I would say my style icon is Hideki Matsui who is major league baseball player. He has quite nice personality as well as good playing.

The person who really makes me laugh… is my team mates. We are usually laughing at the stories about women, which must be dirty.

A book that changed me… is ’Leverage Reading’ which is written by one of Japanese CEOs. This book recommends the readers to read as many books as they can because books, especially Business books, include know-how to be successful which is tried by the writers. So this book concludes that reading a lot of books is going to makes it easy to be successful in the future.

My favorite work of art… I am really not interested in art yet.

My favorite item of clothing… is absolutely DENIM and cool t-shirt. When I go to party, they are necessary for me to be confident.

It is not fashionable but I like... the knitted caps. When I put them on, I seem to be younger like kids, but in winter it makes me warm.

You would not know it but I am good at… playing lacrosse and baseball. I have played baseball for about 10 years and lacrosse for 2 and half years.

You may not know it but I am no good at… controlling my mind. I always care about other people such as my friends, family and team mates. So my mind never relaxes.

All my money goes on… food. I love eating because I want to be bigger for my sport.

If I have time to myself… I want to go back to Japan to see my friends, family.

My house is… semidetached and Victorian taste house. I am living with host family and the house has many kinds of antiques.

My most valuable possession is … my dog which is called Willy but he loves my mother the most, not me. He is Dachshund.

My favorite building is… a kind of modern building. In Tokyo there are a lot of skyscrapers. In my opinion they are symbol of high technology of architecture.

Movie heaven… is ‘American gangster.’ This movie is really cool and throws me into life of American gang. I saw this movie the day when it was just released in Japan and then I am huge fan of it.

In 10 years’ time, I hope to… get married but I cannot get married by myself. In order to get married, I need my best partner. So it is necessary to seek her.

My greatest regret… so far I do not have such a big regret.

My life in seven words… I am always succeeding at the end.


I really want any kinds of feedback to this writing because this is about for me so there are many times to speak it.
