Episode 4: Christmas Eve and stuff

 

December 25, 2024

My last match of 2024 was on the 23rd at Korakuen Hall, and now I'm preparing for the Tokyo Dome. Today is the 24th, Christmas Eve. I'm writing this from the cafe "Ojou" with four friends. I had treatment at the orthopedic clinic in the morning, and then had a second drink in Ueno after lunch when I got a message about the deadline for my diary entry, so I came to this cafe. 

 

Just now, when I was walking through Ameyoko in Ueno, a fan came up to me, "Are you Oiwa? I came to watch you from Fukushima!" I was grateful to hear that, but it was so crowded that I couldn't even take a photo with them. It depends on the time and the situation, but I'm usually very happy when someone calls out to me, and I want to make it as much of a memory for the fans as possible. 

 

How are you all spending Christmas? The illuminations around town are beautiful, and I'm jealous of all the couples walking around happily, but I like spending Christmas Eve with my friends more than going on dates. I'm going to keep drinking with my friends and have a drunken Christmas as usual. So, Merry Christmas!!!
