I¡¯m back in Japan for the first time in a while and I¡¯ve been looking forward to catching up with a whole bunch of old friends.
While I¡¯m in Tokyo, I¡¯m staying with a ÓHÓÑ(²õ³ó¾±²Ô¡¯²â¨±, close friend/bestie), and catching up with another ÓHÓÑ if she can get the time off work. In fact, most of my time here will be spent catching up with ÓÑß_ (tomodachi, friends) and ÖÙég (nakama, companions) from when I used to live here.
My first reunion has been put together by a ÓHÓÑ named Masa. I meet up with him at Asakusa Station and am greeted with a big ¡°¾Ã¤·¤Ö¤ê!¡± (¡°±á¾±²õ²¹²õ³ó¾±²ú³Ü°ù¾±!¡± ¡°Long time no see!¡°) upon arrival. I ask Masa who he has been able to dig up from my past stint in Japan for our impromptu ߻á (nomikai, drinking party) and he mentions one person, Mayumi, whom I haven¡¯t seen in a decade.
