Taro's Blog

Although I like the song by Queen, I am talking about an article that my father wrote in the newsletter for a local industrial group here. Unfortunately, I did not keep the publication, and I don’t remember what he wrote to me. All I remembered was that I did not agree with what he wrote.

I suppose that it is the normal father-to-son relationship. Today, I telephoned my father, who is 93 years old, and he only told me to “Taro, take care of yourself. Do what you want to do.” I replied to him, “Dad, you do the same”. We grew up over the years, and our relationship improved.

Son, please try to listen to me. You’ve been closing your ears. I want you to think I am still cool. I love you, I’d love you to love me. I tried to be honest and open, but somehow, our communications had been lost in translation. To soothe my broken heart, I could only sing out loud. You are not ready yet. You have to break the bad habit. I know because I’ve been through the path you are going now. You have to be comfortable with yourself. You can only work hard and do the right things. You will never know where you are ending up. Regarding our relationship, we can work it out. You are still half child and half adult.

Once you become an adult, both legally and practically, and can take full responsibility for your actions, you can start your own show. I will say, “Son, take care of yourself. You can go your own way. Don’t worry about what I or others think. You are a good boy!”
