2014.9.2

It was fine.  The length of sun shining today was 10 hours and 20 minutes in Tokyo, which was after 11 days or so.  I could see the beautiful Mt. Fuji in the morning.

I have just watched the sports news and known that Japanese tennis player Kei Nishikori (錦織圭) won the game after four hours or so and has become the best 8 at US Open.  They say it has been 92 years for Japanese men to get that position.  I feel lucky to have seen his first championship game in Delray Beach in February 2008.
And a Japanese tennis player Kimiko Date-Krumm also won the game and became the best 8 for doubles.  They say it has been 22 years for Japanese women got that position.

Today there were other good world news.  A Japanese movie "Fushigina misaki no monogatari (ふしぎな岬の物語): A story of mysterious cape" produced by a Japanese popular actress Sayuri Yoshinaga (吉永小百合) received the Special Grand Prix of the jury.  And a director O Mipo (呉美保) received the best director award.  Congratulations!
