Good morning. ☺️✨ I think it's a yellow cosmos. The vitamin colors are blooming very beautifully. Orange and yellow cosmos are blooming in my garden from seeds that were spilled last year. They are also cute when they sway in the wind 😘💞
Yumiko(California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yumi ! 🌅🌃 It is so beautiful Orange cosmos！📸🧡🌿 In Japan, it is called 'Kibana kosmosu(黄花秋桜)', but the flower color is orange🧡, not yellow💛(黄色). And Cosmos are generally pink in color.🌸(秋桜). Ah !, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the Kansai Expo.♥️💙👀🏃💨 So long, from Oni-chan 2025. Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌌✨🎠✨
@フジセツ Thank you for a message. Yes! They are pretty. We live at the different places but, we can see the flowers every season. Happy! Let’s go for a good day together! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 😄Good morning! How are you? I hope you will go for EXSPO TRIP nicely. You thank to your partner. …you know…If I were you, I wouldn’t go by myself(only). You know what I mean?!…👏 Everyday is coming. Me 🙃 always samo-samo(same). I dot get bored. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
Last year, early-blooming cosmos bloomed, but this year, yellow cosmos is blooming, and I'm soothed by the vitamin colors. It was hot outside again today, so I weeded and watered the flower beds early in the morning. Let's have fun today too🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your advice !😄👌 Today, I was amazed to see my future self (I was in 25 years times) at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion Nest for Reborn in Kansai Expo. 😱😄 My hair will be fuller in 25 years than it is now.🤔❓ The reason for this is that hair growth drugs my evolte in the future ? 🦸♂️🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne.(So long.)🙇
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice. You know…this is the culture. We call ‘vitamin color’…another color of the second name. It’s interesting! 😄 In 🇺🇸, we do not call the color of the flowers with particular name. I like 🇯🇵! Go for a good day. with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 😆…I understand you. You know…in 🇺🇸, the male, after 36 years old, 75% will be bold(usui kami). It has shocked news today. Time has been changing. No worry about your hair, worry about of your health, right?! We are in the senior’s door 🚪 Good day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi ! 👩👌 Biotechnology is constantly evolving. 😄🤗 The era of IPS cells has arrived for hair, teeth🦷, and even the heart💓. Hoitara-ne ! 🌞✌️👋
@太陽の塔 Good! I do not about IPS? Anyway, we will take care of of our body + hair. You know…I have a weak scalp and I can’t die my hair 😕 (shikatanashi). I have still black hair, nicely. (Ladies etiquette/ hair #1). Have a good day! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your opinion.😊👌 IPS is short for " Induced Pluripotent Stom cell ".🤔 A Japanese professor, Professor Yamanaka was discovered. 👨👨⚕️✌️ It is also being frequently featured at this Kansai Expo. This is a ground breaking discovery for the advancement of global medicine. By the way, your hair is black, so l don't think you need to dye it.👩 Luckly, Oni-chan's hair is yet black.🌞✌️ Hoitarane.😴💤
@ゆうさん Thank you for a message. It’s hot at you place? Take care of yourself. Cold towel around your neck/all the time~ We will welcome Autumn ~ soon. Have a great day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 😁nice message! Yes my hai is still black. In order to keep my hair, it’s not so easy…eat seaweed all the time. I do not depend on supplements. I take from my food. (🤭recently I started yo take ‘50 years old ~ multivitamins). My doctor recommended. See~. I have been changing. Do you take multi vitamins? I will talk to you later! Good day!😊
Tonight, a fireworks festival will be held in Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. I love watching fireworks. I think it's a summer event. I'm planning to go nearby and watch them. I'm looking forward to it🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your health care idea !🤔 Oni-chan also eat seaweed such as hijiki and wakame every day. That's probably why my hair is so dark. 🖤👨😄 I think your idea is right not to depend on supplements.😊👌 Yumi should rely on medical when necessary, but I think it's best to live in a natural state. Humans have lived in nature since ancient times.🤗🌏🌋🌾🐂🫛🥬 Sou-sou, the movie "Jurassic World: Rebirth" will be released in Japan starting August 8th.🎞️🦖🦕🌞✌️ Yumi, Let's enjoy the movie with each partner next weekend !👨👩🍿🎬👌
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ How nice! You had a good time. We Japanese love Fireworks 🎇. They say ‘Fireworks’ started in Greek. When I was living in Hawaii, I saw the great fireworks from ‘Nagaoka-fireworks/Niigata pre. It’s also popular in Japan. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Ok~ I will tell you how I protect my hair black. I eat seaweed, avocado 🥑. I do not go to the restaurant. Because I do not trust what they use/cook. When I was young ~ good~ I had a party all the time. I was a member of Rotary club in waikiki. 2006~2017 You know…now, I am fine, no party, ~~~time is changed.
Yes, the fireworks were very beautiful. I have seen the fireworks in Nagaoka once on a bus tour. It is one of the three biggest fireworks in Japan, and it is very impressive. By the way, the three biggest fireworks in Japan are "Omagari Fireworks in Akita", "Lake Suwa Fireworks in Nagano", and "Nagaoka Fireworks in Niigata"🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ I totally agree with Yumi's way of thinking. 😄👌 Cooking your own meals and eating balanced nutrition is a great thing. 🍲🥗🍳😋✌️ I have a nutritionist, but I've been putting on a little weight lately. 🐷💦🤭 The reason is, the Osaka-Kansai Expo will feature all-I-can-drink beer and all-I-can-eat international food.🤗🍴 For example, pickled herring from the Netherlands is delicious, I have never eaten it in Japan.🐟🌭😋🍺👌 Hoitara-ne.(So long.) 🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thanks for a good info. When I used to live in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. I saw the nice fireworks 🎆 every Friday for 10 years. !! We Japanese/everyone likes fireworks! Passion, desire ~ We will have a great day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. 😁 You said you are gaining weight. How much? I have been controlling my weight for 50 years. When I was 13 years old, I was a runner(100m). I had some new records at that time(Tokyo). Anyway my trainer(from city) told me to keep my weight 39kg. Agree that I made a new record/time in Tokyo. I was only 13~15 years old. How hard it was at that time! When I chose my high school, …no field activities. (No more running). Yes, I became a sweet high school girl. I gained a lot. And I have been well ~. Anyway it will be ok~ we need to. excise and feel better. Let’s have a nice day today and tomorrow! I will see you. with smile 😊
So you live in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. It's a wonderful place. Also, it's so nice and exciting to be able to see fireworks every Friday. Fireworks are a summer tradition. I love the sight and sound of them bursting into the sky, and it makes me feel like "summer's here 😆". 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your history ! My best weight, calculated based on my height and BMI, is 66.6kg.🤔😊👌 But I currently weigh 74kg, so I'm 7kg over weight. 😢 I envy how smart Yumi-chan looked in jeans👖 when you were younger, so much younger than today. Your expression at that time was very cute.👩🔧✌️ Oni-chan wish you'd bring out your previous icon image again !😄🤗 How about my Miffy🐰 ？ Have a nice day !🏊♀️🏌️♀️🏃♀️💨 Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃✨
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I know~ Hawaii is the good place to have a vacation. Not live forever. I finally decided to move out Hawaii. I love four seasons. 🤗 Have a nice day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 😆you are cute to tell me your story! lovely. You are active person. Make it sure your blood pressure/pulse everyday. I do with the portable one. 110/68- 65(pulse)👍perfect! You still keep going to the EXPO. Thankfully ~ ☀️ ,say thank to your wife! Good day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Hey, Yumi know what ?🤭😄 I listened to the live songs of "ONE OR EIGHT" and "DXTEEN" at the Osaka Week event of the Kansai Expo yesterday evening.🎤🤸♀️🌃 But Oni-chan was shocked because I couldn't fit in with the young people around me.😢😱🤔😔 This is my first aging shock(oil shock).※ ※ aging → 老いる → オイル → oil です。 Osoreirimasu. Hoitara-ne !♥️💙👀
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I used to live in Hawaii for 10 years in Waikiki. My condominium was on the 27th floor. 👍 I could see all city Waikiki. I started swimming at the pool(15th floor)at my condominium. …it was 2014. I have been swimming since that time/everyday. You have a new family and have a enjoyable time with them. lovely You have a good day! 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! How are you? I finished swimming at 7:45am. I started swimming at 6:30am. I will still ~ my left fingers ~are numb during 75 minutes swimming. I will take care of it. You have a nice trip to EXPO. 👍 You have doing great ones. Everyday is coming. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 7/29.2025 “ichika bachika” Nice topic. We sometimes struggle with our own personal lives, at the time, 🙏”ten ni omakase” desu. It’s coming to us in ~20 years ~ how is that?! Keep being healthy. 😊
You've lived in Waikiki, Hawaii for 10 years. It's a wonderful condominium on the 27th floor. I haven't been to Hawaii yet, but it's a place I'd love to visit. However, my husband hates flying, so I'm not sure if I'd like to go.🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Today, the tsunami hit Japan and it was a difficult day ! 🌊🇯🇵😢 Weren't Yumi in California affected by today's tsumami ? 😱🌞🇺🇸💦
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Yes. I had a great time living at Waikiki for ten years. I started swimming during that time at 15th floor. * I was at the pool and was doing games ~ and got ☀️. One lady ~~ swimming going back and forth ~👀 I was watching for several weeks. And I thought, “why can’t I do!”. I started swimming for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes. One hour. (2014~2016). Long talk ~ Opportunity is very important. When, how, why. 😊 Let’s have a nice day! with smile
@太陽の塔 Thank you for the information. We here have no problem including California. Honolulu/Wikiki, they did some evacuation. It’s ok. Now we have typhoon 🌀 season. One year passes so fast~ after this, we call 🎃 Thanksgiving and Christmas 🎄. And 2026~ “ do I tell you this too early?!😁” We take care of yourself. Good exercise(you do walk lots!), eat vegetables and some fruits. with nice cocktail/. Cheers 🍻 Have a great day. with our smiles 😊😊
That's right. You have to make an opportunity. Maybe a little more time will solve that🦆. There will surely be a time when you can go out. For now...💦 It was a wonderful opportunity to start swimming. Even if you think about it, it's hard to act on it. Also, you can't do it unless you love it🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Time flies like an arrow.🏹 Just as Yumi said, time goes by so fast !😄🤗👌🚀💨 By the way, it's very hot everyday in Japan🇯🇵. 🥵 The day Japan experienced a tsunami, was also the hottest day in Japan. 🌊💦🥵 Yesterday, a record-breaking temperature of 41.2℃ was observed in Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture, setting a new high for Japan.🌰⛰️😊 The previous record was 41.1℃, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.🤔 Every autumn, I drive to Tanba-Sasayama to buy chestnuts🌰🚙. Are the chestnuts okey this year? If it continues to heat up at this rate, Japan will eventually boil over.♨️🥵💥 Yumi, have a nice weekend in cool California !🏊♀️🏃♀️ 🏌️♀️Nice shot ! (内緒 !🤫) Hoitara-next.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 “hoitarane”🤞 We here, it’s cooler than usual. Now…29°C. My house air conditioner doesn’t work, that means, good.(I set 74f) Good day together. We will enjoy our lives. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your quick and nice comment ! 🤔😄👌 "Yuugao" it's not 100% good. The correct answer is "chousen-asagao".🌼🌿 Please check the revised version. 🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne.(So long.)👋
@太陽の塔 Thank you for your answering. I said take a nice photo with nice looking. ~ not some spots on the flower ~ some dying part of the flower. …you understand. 🤔I will check your photos. 😊 Good friendship together. Nice day together! with our smiles.
If you're healthy, you can do what you like. 😘✨ It looks like it'll be about 38°C again today. I wonder how long it'll last. 🙆🏻 I'll have to find a cool place. 🤗🩷🤍
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ I see ! 😄👌 Oni-chan understand what Yumi are saying about it.🤗 Yes, "Some dying part of the flower".🌼→ Surely, there are some holes in the petales of Yuugao flower.🔍🧐 I thout Yumi were familiar with Yuugao(夕顔) from The Tale of Genji(源氏物語), because you majored in Japanese Literature at college. 🏫😊👌 I have to go to bed early because there's a sumo wrestling exhibition tour at the Kansai Expo 2025 site tomorrow.🤗♥️💙👀 💦 Hoitara-ne ! 😴💤👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I know…sorry about that. Take care of yourself enough. We say hot temperature and it’s cold. We have nice temperatures of the year…how many days?! 1/2?-1/3-1/4 How do you think in Japan 🇯🇵?
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. ‘Yuugao’ I remember she was loved by Hikaru-Genji. How are you? I am fine. I swim for 75 minutes everyday. 1.5km, you remember. You take care of yourself and have a nice day! *take water all the time 😊
Japan has four seasons, but spring and autumn are probably the most comfortable. I don't really like the heat or the cold. I feel like spring and autumn are short throughout the year. It's not even half the time 🦆 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for a message !😄 Yes, 'Yuugao' she fell in love with Hikaru-Genji, the main character of the Tale of Genji.🥰 The Tale of Genji, by Murasaki Shikibu, portrays the life of ’Hikaru-Genji', detailing his romantic pursuits, his rise to power and the suffering he experiences.🤔😊🌞✌️ If Yumi were Yuugao, would Oni-chan be Hikaru Genji ? You and Oni-chan are connected through GS. 🌞✌️ By the way, Yesterday I went to see a sumo tour at the Osaka•Kansai EXPO. ♥️💙👀😄 Sumo hasn't changed much over the centuries, and it still remains extremely popular.🤗 It's not just a sport but an important part of Japanese🇯🇵 culture ! 🤔 Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yumi ! 🌅🌃💦 Perhaps we met in a previous life, not in the next one ?🤔😳🤩 When I first saw your icon in jeans, I felt like I had met you somewhere before ! 😄👖👌 It feels like I met you in the dinosaur age, not in the Heian Period of Hikaru Genji .🦖😱 Oni-chan will see Yumi at Jurassic World : Dominion.🦕 Hoitara-ne ! 👋🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 😀you are cute! Lovely Ok, we will be able to see in our next life. We will think of that! 😉 We have a nice time to be in GS. Let’s have a great day! with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your kind message ! 😄🤗👌 Oni-chan would like to see in our next life. 🤭 However the next life depends on what we do in the present world.🤔🧘♂️💦 by Mahatma Ganji 🙏 Hoitara-ne. 🌞✌️
Yes, he tells me the destination the day before, and tells me in advance, "We'll be going out to such and such place at such and such time the next day, so please get ready." His outfit changes depending on where he's going, after all. 🤭 And if he comes across a beautiful landscape or flower while he's out, he takes a picture 📱✨. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your thinking !😄👌 The immediate future is more important than the distant future, but what is universal is always true.🤔🤗👀🌌 Gandhi managed to maintain India's sense of national pride without resorting to violence. He said: " The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. " 🙆♀️💪🌞✌️ Oni-chan like this Quote.😊 Hoitara-ne.👋😴💤🌃
@太陽の塔 😆! I laughed! …ok, next life…still I need to think of where, it’s the first thing. You are in Osaka, I may be in Tokyo. 😄 Funny~ like a fairy 🧚♀️ tail! Enjoyable We have a good time on GS. Let’s have a great day together! with our smiles 😊😊
Apparently there's a fireworks display near Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture today, so I'm planning to go see it with my friend. I'll let my husband know about Yumiko. 🤗🩷🤍
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I used to visit the castles(1980’s). I visited Hikone Castle. I visited the Lake Biwa. I swam there. Water was warm, I remembered. Life is good! How are you? Take care of yourself in this summer. 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. When I was at the Lake Biwa, the water was not good enough for the swimmers…I remember that. Still I had a good time. …how many years ago… in 1986~. nice day 😊
I see. When my children were small, I was taken to Lake Biwa with a packed lunch to play in the water. It was good because it was fresh water. I wonder how it was for swimming🙆🏻. It's also a good memory. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I understand that. 25~30 years ~The Lake Biwa, was that the situation. Today, they enjoy at the lake. I like to hear of that. Good day together! 😊
I didn't go near Lake Biwa at first, but there are also an English garden, an aquatic plant greenhouse, and a museum. There are many places rich in nature. 🐰💗
Yes ♡ Shiga Prefecture has many places rich in nature. That's why my son and his wife wanted to move to a new place. We wondered if they would be able to raise their children in a relaxed environment. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Yes. I think so. I used be interested in visiting castles. Hikone Castle(1622), I visited there in 1984. Enjoyment Historical Japan! Lovely Good day. 😊
Two years ago, my son and his wife had their first child, and we also got to see Hikone Castle🏯. And soon our second grandchild will be born. I'm really looking forward to it. That's why I have fond memories of Hikone Castle. It was around the time when the cherry blossoms were in bloom. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Nice message! You have a good luck Castle/Hikone Castle. lovely Time was different, but we had a same experience. “Castle is always quiet “ Nice day ! with smile 😊
