C ORONAVIRUS, INFLUENZA, a bone fracture, and a hernia in my neck. Kinugasa here, battered and bruised all over, after making a serious rush to get stuff done in this hectic year. I promise, I’m alive. Yes, this is Kinugasa.

The numbness and pain in my back caused by the hernia is so severe that it’s likely to persist for a long time. While I’m glad that I was able to write this manuscript before the onset of my symptoms, I don’t think I can promise it won’t affect me going forward… Each day since has been an intense struggle. My limit for sitting down in a chair is an hour.

But there’s no point in talking about depressing stuff all the time, so let’s switch to a brighter topic.

Congratulations, Hanshin Tigers, on winning the league championship for the first time in eighteen years!!!!!!!

Thank you for the passion! Thank you for the excitement! Hanshin Tigers, yahoo!!! Just let me get that out of my system, okay? I mean, ’cause it’s been eighteen years. I bought so much stuff. I bought hats and shirts I’m not even sure I’ll wear. It’s okay, though, right? I mean, it’s been eighteen years! Of course, I ended up buying stuff, like decals and stickers and towels and all sorts of junk.

The postscript is one page this time… Sorry, I’ve run out of room to talk about this volume. I’ll do my best next time. I won’t let the pain in my back get the better of me!
