I appeared on a TV program today. The people who arrived for the filming all had the air of the real professionals of the TV industry and that made me nervous in a way. I was truly relieved when Taka-chan came in for my make-up. She works very efficiently and beautifully, being quick on her toes. No useless movement! Perfect! She taught me that suntan is really bad for your hair because it damages the roots of your hair. Very important information if you want to keep your beauty! I reflected on how I tried to prevent sunburn. Well, I never paid any attention to my hair, just like Mimi-Nashi Hoichi (from the famous story by Lafcadio Hearn) forgot about his ears! Mr. Miura, who was in charge of this program, used to produce the popular TV series of "World Heritage". He related a few episodes to us from his past experiences of this series. His stories were so interesting that I almost began interviewing him. The world is so big that you get burned if you try to reach out without proper preparations. And that is why the world is so beautiful. That's what I learned from his experiences. Whenever I meet someone who is traveling around the world all the time, I feel that their existence is sharply outlined. It's probably because their own life may be threatened unless they believe in themselves and are confident about their identity.
