This photo was taken in Ibaragi, Japan in May last year. I’ve been surfing since I was 19 and know some locations where there is good surf and only a few people. I hate crowded places but it can’t be helped, its Japan! Japan’s entire populations is well over one hundred million! So when I realized this, our band started touring the world.
I like breathing in the fresh air when I’m out in nature. This photo is from one of my favorite spots, it’s as quiet as a grave. However, its like the quiet before the storm and the waves pulse through me here. When I smell the salt breeze and listen to the sounds of nature I can feel its vitality.
A lot of sea shells get washed up on this beach and I always collect shells, driftwood and stones when I come here. Sometimes I haul really heavy things back to my house! Why do I love them so much? The shells are pieces of nature, they help me see things for what they really are, beautiful. Of course, the animal has already died and now only the shell remains but I think there is something harmonious about it all. In this picture a bird also sleeps, RIP.
I suppose you could say that humans don’t belong in photos taken here, even if there are factories seen in the distance.
When I first found this beach I was so taken by it I screamed!!!
One day I want to live somewhere with the sound of the waves.
私は自然の中で呼吸をしているのが本当に大好きです。
この写真の場所は、私のとってもお気に入りの海岸の一つで、生と死というものが一つの自然となってるのを感じるのです。
潮風や、波の音を聞くと地球の生命力を感じる事が出来ますし、流れ着いた貝の死骸や鳥達も、全てこの地球の一部なんだなぁ、と思うのです。（全ての自然においても）
ここの海岸には、沢山の貝殻が流れ着きます。大体いつも、海へ行くと貝殻、流木、石等を拾い集めて、家路に着くこるには相当な重さになっています（笑）
とにかく、何故、私がこのモノ達を好きかと言うと人間が作っていない自然のありのままの姿だから。
たとえ、、背後に工場が見えたとしても。
人間の手によって環境破壊、汚染を長い間に繰り返し海岸も毎年姿を変えて行き、相当なダメージを受けているのは分かっているのですが、それでも、美しい。
いつか波音が聞こえる所で住みたい。

I’m afraid I don’t know good pop music..
Actually, I rarely listening to pop music…It may be an improper expression.. how about The yellow monkey? When I was young, I liked this band(Japanese band), and now, too!
And…The Blankey Jet City is COOL! (but not pop..they are Rock’n ‘roll)And, I recommend you find out by myspace, or if you like Japanese pop, how about TOWERRECORD HP?

I’ll bring you to beach when you back to Japan! However this photo’s beach changed a little different than before.
I went to this place to surfing for last month.Many shells was not in there.
I felt miss about it, but waves, beach and the nature give me the undiscovered power and energy, that’s right….!This is my favorite web site, sometimes watching this web site^^/
