Hi, all! How have you been?
I saw the pictures of Tagami kids’ performances at ‘Oyugi-kai’
and you all looked great! You must have practiced a lot.
I am very proud of you!
After a while, today’s topic is “Sports & Movie Stars in L.A.”!!
I want to share my experiences to see or nearly see some
movie and sports stars here and there in L.A.
Will Smith
“Just the two of us”- one my favorite songs of him!
One day, Will Smith and the movie crews were
filming ”John Haangcock”(will come in 2008!)
in downtown L.A. I was walking on the street and saw some
movie trailers. This is just normal for people here since we see filming everywhere. But this time, mmm…seems different.
Yes, it was Will, big Willie!
My huge regret was that I could not see him with MY eyes yet
my friend saw him and even took a picture on cell phone!!!
How lucky!”He was really tall with a tiny face. He was sooooo cool!”Ok, someday, I will see him, too!
Mark Johnson-NBA Basketball Player-
When I went to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, my friend and I
dropped in Luis Vuitton.My friend poked me saying,
“He is a former NBA player!”We could not remember his name immediately but came up with, “He must be Mark something”
Mark Johnson was with his family,wife and teenage son for shopping.We passed by him excitedly and moved to another shop.After getting around several shops, we entered Prada.
Then, there he is again!!!This time, he was sitting on a white bench so we sat on the same bench behind him. Hahaha. As a memory! What a chicken I was, I did not ask him autograph or anything.
Musashi (武蔵)-K 1 Fighter-
I think there would be more chances to see him in Japan though I met Musashi at Rodeo Drive on the same day I saw the above Mark Johnson. Musashi-san was walking on the street and suddenly an American guy with well-built-body next to him started to talk to my friend. So we stopped. Then I thought, “Wait a minute...
He looks like someone… Mmmmm…”Suddenly, his name came up in my mind so I asked him,“武蔵さんですか?” Instead of answering, “yes,” he put his hands together as fighters do before and/or after fighting. It looked cool. Then, I said, “Welcome to L.A.!!!” We both smiled. What a small world!
There are so many people out there we have never seen in this world.I still want to see and talk to more people here and there. It does not mean to see those big names but people from different cultural, social, professional backgrounds. To broaden our world, meeting people and sharing each insight,belief ,wisdom, and experiences could be a way to do so as well as reading books/articles and you actually expose to different cultures and experience things.
Children, you are the ones who can do so!
Play, laugh and learn a lot, kids!!!
