I’m about to listen to Arlo Maverick a local Hip hop artist whom I haven’t seen live for awhile. Sunday music night
Japan does not need these bigoted people. For Japan to be reverent in the 21st century they need people who is welcoming to all people. No racists needed in Japan.
Article from Maincihi Shimbun. Japanese headline: 自民の杉田水脈氏が落選確実に 元衆院議員 参院選比例代表
Some good Japan election news: Bigot Sugita Mio, who's called LGBTQ people "unproductive" and referred to Ainu people as "cosplayers," has lost her bid for a seat in Japan's Upper House. Seems voters have had enough of her hateful theatrics.

Not a bad way to start the week. Listening to some Jazz and drinking Scotch on a patio. Just the right temperature and the bonus it’s not even raining
Social media is a strange beast. One good is been connected with friends living overseas and outside of Edmonton. My Japanese friends whom I am friends on Facebook hasn’t posted anything in years. Yet it’s good to be connected as they might post something out of the blue
As much I love my new vehicle. Hate getting notifications on checking my rear seat. Yes it’s good to know I might have left something on the passenger side but it gets annoying at times
I give a heartfelt thanks to the bus drivers. The people who serve our food and drinks late into the night. While we enjoy our times there are those who work late into the night. Thank you for all that you do
Last night I attended a concert at Yardbird to hear Marquis Hill performing for the Edmonton International Jazz Festival. The band was compromised of an all black musicians. The audience members were predominantly white. There was some BIPOC representation.
a friend whose picky about seating. Hoping a good seat is to be found
I made the decision of going to 2 different shows for Edmonton’s Jazz festival. The 1st set is at 7, 2nd set at 8:30. Only half an hour to make it to the other set. Which is only about a 5 minute walk. If it was jus me attending the 2nd set but I’ll be joined by another friend whose quite picky
Music scene in Edmonton is fascinating. I see 2 musicians talking together. Both play in different bands playing different instruments. They just finished a set with their friends. Love seeing these musical collaborations
Some photos of our cat Maruko. She lived for about 19 years.
However I’m tired and I need to think through. Give some time to be able to articulate myself better. I just wanted to let some of what I’ve felt the last while here.
Yes I notice more indigenous artists, yet us Asians are still a minority. I understand sort of why it could be but I would like more of us represented. I’m glad when organizations bring in diverse artists for their events. And hope more organizations follow through. There’s more I could say 4/5
Lately I’m wanting to connect with other Asians in my hometown. It doesn’t matter if they’re not Japanese. I just want to connect with others who’s had similar experiences like me. My hometown has been growing but yet in the communities where I enjoy my hobbies there’s very little in diversity 3/?
Yet my friends in high school were predominantly white. I didn’t really hang out with other Asians as I was a theatre person. In my 20’s and at various schools my friends were still predominantly white. I had some black and Asian friends but not many. Even now I don’t have many Asian friends. 2/?
As a person who is a visible minority there are many things lately that I’m grappling with. I was one of few Asians in my elementary school. Junior high there were more but majority of my classmates were white. High school there over 10 of us Japanese Canadians and various Asians. 1/?
This morning I am worshipping with our Lutherans and Moravians along with our Anglican brothers and sisters in Christ. Trinity Sunday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Edmonton
Edmonton is a sports city. Tonight I’m going out for dinner with friends instead of watching the game. I’ll just check into the score later in the night
I was 13 when the Edmonton Oilers won their 5th Stanley Cup. And they haven’t won one since. They are again in the finals will they bring the cup back to Edmonton?
Grace Ji-Sun Kim she lived in Canada but lives in the States now. I’m not sure if she’s one you’re looking for
I’m almost 50 and I wish I could grow a nice beard
One thing my hometown doesn’t need. A pizza place on every corner of a section in the city. Just saw another pizza place. How about a banh mi or Japanese noodle serving udon and rice bowls!?
I’m feeling older now. A renowned writer and playwright in my hometown is turning 60. Congrats Marty
I was born and raised in this land we call Canada. I’m a guest on this land. I’m learning and still need to learn from the indigenous people who have been here before my ancestors came here.
This weekend I’m planning to attend a rally on Saturday. I’m just getting disappointed with the Alberta government. Especially with the premier, we need a change in leadership.
There are certain things I don’t understand about the Anglican Church. However the reason I choose to stay is the liturgy. There is diversity in leadership in regards to female leadership and some bipoc representation as well
