Summer Blues

June 21st, summer officially begins. For some parts of Japan (日本), this also means the beginning of barbecue season. I for one love a good barbecue and can’t get enough of them. The day after I saw Britney Spears live in Tokyo (東京), I was invited to one. Though it wasn’t official summer yet, this…
