ukulele — 2020 — staff blog

The new coronavirus has changed the way we live, not only in Japan but also around the world. Many of us have changed the way we talk, eat, and even shop. There’s sadness because we need to follow a new normal. However, in this season we also discover many things about ourselves—things to change, improve on. We remember things we have forgotten and forget things we do not want to remember.

Some people also take this time to do things they’ve always wanted to do but never had the time for. As for me, it is cooking, playing the ukulele, and kalimba, (this is an instrument from Africa, it sounds like a music box) some video games and catching up on some movies that I enjoy. I might make mistakes but I don’t mind them. I learn each day and look forward to the time when we can all enjoy being with each other without being afraid of spreading a dangerous plague. Let’s all take this time to reflect and become better versions of ourselves as we conquer our fears~!
