To Toujou Nozomi-sama

31st March and 1st April.

Like a blessing for our new beginning, the cherry blossoms bloom and fresh verdure appears, with the fresh breeze carrying the fragrance of the new season.

How are you doing now?

It’s been 6 years since I first met you.

A lot of things have happened.

There was never a moment without fun or happiness.

There were times when I didn’t understand Nozomi either.

When I think about it now, I wonder what made me so confused back then. It’s a really simple thing after all. You were always you, watching over me.

At that time, I completely didn’t realize it at all.

But it was because I realized that eventually that we have a much better bond right now. During difficult or frustrating times, I have always been reassured by your smile.

We went through many things together, and I can’t ever thank you enough for that.

I’m glad that you were next to me, Nozomi.

It couldn’t have been anyone else but you.

That is what I think from my heart.

It is because you were right next to me that I ran through all my experiences with a smile.

How were the past 6 years, Nozomi?

Was it fun?

I believe that you would feel that way.

Those 6 years are just a small part of our long lives, but it has become a major part of it, a part which I will never forget.

From now on, I will definitely keep it within me.

Having met and walked together with you is a very, very important treasure that cannot be replaced.

Nozomi,

Meeting you has made me the most blessed person in the world.

Thank you.

Good luck in the future!!
