If you look at the future, there are reasons to be worried. But I have come to the conclusion that I should do whatever I want to do. None of my friends want to be salarymen. You see them on the subway trains. There is nothing on their faces, they are totally blank.
Japan has no sense of direction or pride.
Last year I went to Scotland and South Korea. People there were proud of where they lived. You don't get that same feeling here. There is no identity to share with each other. The flag and anthem mean almost nothing to me.
