8月6日(hachigatsu muika): August 6

There are some days in a year that every Japanese people cannot forget. Today, August 6 is one of them. 66 years ago the Atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima (広島). There was a memorial service in the morning at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the name list that 5,785 people that passed away within last year added was dedicated. The total casualty became 275,230 people.
It's been 66 years but there are still many people suffering. We are worried about the Fukushima (福島) case too.

There was another big news. It was the opening of the 93rd high school baseball tournament so-called Koshien (甲子園). Seiko gakuin(聖光学院) from Fukushima (福島) won at the 10th inning.
