(We’ll put the cover on later.) We’re planning to test it out on the 9th of next month. (The fire department is coming by, lol.) The nameplate…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been completely thrown off track by the typhoon that’s been hitting us since last week… Work on site has come to a standstill for no good reason… But this rainy typhoon has left some serious damage in its wake.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s almost time to say goodbye to the cherry blossoms along the Gojo River in Iwakura City. By this weekend, they’ll be fully in leaf.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to Iwata City in Shizuoka Prefecture for the first time in a while. I went as part of a volunteer project I’ve been involved in for the past 10 years—there was a sort of unveiling ceremony for a system that supplies water during disasters. It’s been held dozens of times so far, but…
