Oh wow, I don't know what to say. That phone call a few days ago was from a man who'd heard me play for Watari. He'd become interested and asked around to find me. I'm still not sure how he got my phone number, but we're meeting tomorrow. Come to find out he's a big music industry something or other and he wants me to play the violin while some popular singer horminizes. I don't think that I've heard of her, but she's chinese and only a little older than me. She's very attractive, as I saw in her picture. Oh man, I'd better go and practice. I can't believe that playing for Watari would open doors like this. I hafta thank him later....

Wow!! I'm so happy for you, and happy you went home to Japan if thats where your happiest. This could be a good chance to really get somewhere. But why did you lose so much of your passion for the violin in that time??

Oh and have you managed to visit anybody else since you've been back?

Hmm..... my passion... drifted... you could say. My love for the music went into something else and my heart fell out of it.... thinking back, she was music unto herself, her voice a melody that called me from my own life and into another. Her very being was one of harmony and every say brought a new creciendo of exitement with her around... but...

That's over and done with... nothing important....

And no... I haven't heard from any of the others... Watari was top priority though.. because he was my foster father and all.....

I've got to go... things to do, you know?

A few more months have passed. It's amazing these things that happen to me. Once again, I am quickly becoming a famous violinist. But this time, I keep wondering. What's it all for? Why do I still feel like something's missing? Perhapse I should just give it mor time. Or get a cat... name it Hisoka or something just for the fun of it. Ooh.. there's the phone

Ah! Getting back into the violin again. That's good. Keep practicing, it'll come back to you.

On the note of something missing, perhaps your just lonely?? Naming your cat Hisoka?? I'm guessing thats a friend?? If thats the case maybe you should visit that friend. As for the cat......

I love cats!! Get a cat if you want, I certainly love them!

Visiting Watari, huh? I've been doing that a lot since I came back to Japan. I just can't let it be known that he's such a good friend of mine. H can't get any media attention or he might get into trouble.... seeing that he never ages and works deals with death.... though I doubt that he'd complain about the attention. He's an odd man, but a good friend. I'm putting together a collection of the songs I've written over the year and I'm going to put them all on CD.

Life is slowly getting better and I find that I'm enjoying it. Unlike before, I don't just want it to end. I'm getting my feet back under me and everything's starting to feel right again. I haven't felt that way since she died....

I should go practice now, and make sure that I've found all of my songs. I might not be able to write for a while because of recording for my album, but I'll try.

Alcohol, rain, and slick roads combined to cause a two-car wreck yesterday afternoon that left one driver injured, the other dead. It happened about 1 p.m. Monday on Highway 17 near Nagasaki Park. Nagasaki Officer Katsuta Aki tells WNEG 50-year old Toyota Aishi of Tokyo was traveling south behind 24-year old Minase Hijiri of Nagasaki.

Katsuta says Toyota's car struck Minase’s from behind. Minase was shoved into the northbound lane and overturned, landing in a ditch. Toyota's car landed nose-first in Oggs Creek.

He’s charged with DUI and reckless driving. Toyota was transported to the Nagasaki Hospital with serious injuries. Minase was DOI and will be laid to rest this Wednesday.

I don't know where I am.... I woke up in this dark place.... At first I wondered if I was dead, but I don't think I'd be wondering if I was.... either that or someone would have taken me to the next realm or whatever.... but I look out the one window here and I don't see death or darkness or even anything that could look like Meifu. I see Tokyo out there. I'm about twelve stories up. I'm not too far from Tokyo tower. I'm very hungry, bnut whoever put me here doesn't seem to think that I'd wake up.... either that or they just want me to starve to death. Man, this looks really bad....

MOURNING FOR A VIOLINIST WONDER

Mourners came in droves today, the Thursday after the death of one amazing musician still in his younger years. They paraded through the streets in tears and jackets as the rain joined them in their lamentation of Minase Hijiri, who's life was lost in a car accident this past Monday. Very few fans seemed to feel the chill in the air despite the fall season, attention on comforting their friends and fellow lovers of the violin.

Hijiri was a genius much before his own time, having played the extremely difficult "Devil's Trill" by Tartini for his first ever solo concert when he was in high school. After graduating, he didn't continue his violin career, opting rather to travel to America where it's said that he married a young woman he met there. After her death he moved back to Japan and found his way again through the violin. Though not much is known about the woman whom he married, it is said by those who knew him that he loved her very much and seemed lost after her death. It showed through his music, many songs on his latest CD about loss and love, though as lovely as all others he could have written.

With no family to return his belongings to, Japan was searched for his connections, many people saying that his things should be given to a loved one. His foster father was found, but kept himself quiet and hidden, likely still getting over his loss. All of the boy's things have been turned over and his apartment is empty, something that his many friends say is depressing enough after all of the things that boy has gone through. No matter what has happened to him though, Minase Hijiri will always be remembered as a kind soul who cared for his friends and loved music.

[[note: I found the pictures online, including the Japanese newspaper. NOT THE REAL TRANSLATION! Though you all probably already know that :p. This is a mockery of an obituary. The picture to the top left is a screen shot from the anime that I edited. The other picture is what I think Hijiri would look like were he real. It's Max from Dong Bang Shin Ki... ask Pyro-o (JiHye) if you're curious about him.]]

Starving is an odd thing. First you feel hollow, then it grows to the feeling that you're going to be sick even though nothing is in there to come out. And then you go back to feeling hollow, but with weakness attached to it. I'm pretty sure that I was left here to die a slow and wanting death, but I've been fighting that. I've found a loose panel in the wall and am working on freeing it so that I can crawl out. Hopefully I can find a way out to another room that isn't locked or get onto a roof where I can at least know where I am.

I've been thinking though. The last thing I remember before being here is being in the car, going to the studio to finish up my CD. I had a few good friends there who were waiting for me. I wonder if they're looking for me now. It has to have been at least a day and a half since I last was seen, hasn't it?

There!! The panel is off!! Now my only hope is that it leads to safety....
