Tachikawa is really close to my place (I live near Noborito, say, 1 hour by Nanbu-line from there). Never been there but looks like it's fun place. I think I have seen this trumpet guy somewhere else I cant recall. Railroad suicides ...I knew one of them and she killed herself about 10 years ago and her husband found dead alone in the bathtub few years later, which could probably be avoided if she was there... Anyway, It's a shame that suicide has been a part of our culture. Article 9(I heard this part was a part of proposals written by Japanese) of our constitution is one of few things keeps me from losing my patriotism. I feel it is an evidence of some conscience remained in our nation after all that violence they had brought to the rest of east and south east asia. I talk about this with my chinese and korean friends every once in a while. It's cloudy here in Tokyo this weekend, but, anyway, happy shooting! T.Kumagai
