Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all from Times Square!

Waited for an incredibly long time for this moment.  No food, no drink, no restroom therefore we had to prepare for that severe condition lasting 11 hours.  Glad all of my party have made it till this moment.  The relatively warm weather has helped a lot.

I hope 2016 will be a very good year for my family (welcoming a baby in April!) as well as my career in New York.

Also heard some sad news from my hometown Hiroshima, Japan a few hours later after welcoming 2016.  Difficult situations to handle.  I'll have to overcome but will do my best.
