The three big, people loved in 1970s

I took a photo on the way to the gym, I used my mobile because I don't have a proper camera. I want this "IXY" by Canon.

By the way since yesterday, the Japanese pro baseball team has gone on a strike . This is the first time in 70 years pro baseball history of Japan. Mr Furuta is the president of the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association. I wrote about him before, yes he appears in Sapporo Black label beer. Well he has tough
days now. Since I am Edokko, I was a fan of Tokyo Giants, but recently I don't watch their games anymore. Especially after Matsui left the team. Nothing fun to see. In 1970s, we had the phrase "Kyojin, Taiho, Tamagoyaki", these were "the best 3 things" people loved and a symbol of strength in those days. Kyojin means Tokyo Giants (Giants = Kyojin-gun), and they won 9 seasons in a row. And Taiho is a legendary Yokozuna, He won 30 times, nobody can break this record. And Tamagoyaki is baked egg, after ww2, on the way to recovery, baked egg was mom's handmade meal, a little sweet, every child loved to eat it, maybe it might be a symbol of peace in society.

that camera looks good. Isn't that Nakata the soccer player in the ad? suteki na hito :)

it's a damn pity I know so little about that game...guess it's not in my culture...you know here we are crazy for soccer (and pizza, yes, like in all good stereotyped visions about Italians). But from what you say...must be a catchy game...even if imported from US (am I right?). Nice camera that IXY.

hi mari

guam is the summer home of the giants. they come once a year to practice and to hold baseball camps for all the players here. when they arrive at the airport, it's like rock stars are here--so many photographers and fans who follow them from japan, because i guess here you can watch them all you like during training, but it's restricted there.

isn't the tokyo dome, where they play, also known as the big egg?
