| Left - This is Takuma (Yuko and Takashi's baby). Isn't he just the cutest? I'm certain he's going to break many girls' hearts! I mean, just look (below) - Already he's got Chiaki (Yuko and Motohisa's baby) kissing his feet! I trust once he doesn't have a stuffed bear attached to his wrist he'll do even better! P.S. I'm hoping he becomes a sumo wrestler! |

| These are pictures from Kobe's 10th Luminaria (commemorating the Great Hanshin Earthquake). After walking under an arcade of lights (below), you came to a 360-degree display of lights (above & right). If you think it looks similar to Nagoya Station's 2003 display of lights, you're right (same artist). However, Nagoya's display was flat (only meant to fool the eye as if it went on and on).
