Hi, my name is Akiko Saito. I’m a single, female writer, living in Tokyo. My hometown(where my parents are living) is a small countryside city, 350km far from Tokyo. My mom worries about my life every single day since I have left my hometown.

[!caution!] My English skill is awful. Imagine your 5 years old daughter; I’m worse than her. Pointing or warning my grammar is always welcome.

I think I’m not a “writer,” exactly. In Japan, “writer ” means a people who sold an article for media, publishers and company. “writer” is not an artist, in Japan. “writer” is not a journalist also. I am writing an article for any media for pleasing my clients. That is not a journalist. A journalist is working for telling a true story. But sometimes “writer”(in Japan) writing a more commercial story for clients as “a true story.” Hey, only SOMETIMES! We always tell a true story in our article.

That is my little introduce. I’m going to write my super excellent, exquisite inscrutable Tokyo life here. Here we go.

Last night, I saw “Grinch” movie. The film from my favorite animation studio Illumination Entertainment. I love their film “The Secret Life of Pets,” “Sing,” ”Minions.” Not a fan of “DESPICABLE ME.”

He is my favorite character♡

I love their movie because their computer graphics is amazing, characters are extraordinary charming. In “Grinch,” their talent is everywhere. Look at their fluffy hair and snow! They take me to a dreamland I imagined when I was a child. Storytelling is a … hmm, beginning slowly, the climax is too short. Not a perfect, but enough to make me cry. Grinch knows love…😭 BTW, Japanese doesn’t know “Grinch.” I try to read the picture book of “Grinch” later which ordinary in America.

Okay, the movie was done. I’m going home alone, eat alone, playing PS4 alone, and sleeping alone. Have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS, guys.
