Essay #5 The worst days in my life

There were two worst days for me.

The first one was the day the Hanshin Tigers was overtaken the leader and won the championship by the Yomiuri Giants although the tigers had a 13 games lead. It was October 10 in 2008, an unforgettable day for me. The Tigers played very well from the early stages to the middle stages last year, but it lost games in a row after August. At last the Giants won “historical upset victory”. It made many Tigers’ fans sad and despondent. I was one of them. I felt as if I was strangled with a cord every time the Giants narrowed the gap. I still remember the pain I felt then.

On October 10, I shed tears when the Giants won the championship. I was so sad that my voice failed me. At the same time, I said to the Tigers “You did a great job. Thank you for the dream to win.” in my heart. We the Tigers’ fans never give up. We will go on supporting. We are sure that the Tigers will win again someday. I will remain a fan of the Tigers forever. This year, the Tigers is for from the winner but I hope that the Tigers will be stronger for next year.

The second one was the day that Southern All Stars stopped their music activities. Last year was the thirtieth anniversary since they made the debut. Southern All Stars announced to stop their music activities for the time being. I have been a fan of Southern All Stars since I was a junior high school student. I have been fascinated by the songs written by Mr. Keisuke Kuwata. He is the main vocal of Southern All Stars. His songs have various sides, some songs are sad and others are delightful or passionate. When I first heard that Southern All Stars would stop their activities, I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked by the news. I was very sad because I had listened and sang their songs almost every day.

However, they didn’t break up. They decided to take a rest for a while. Even if they won’t resume their activities, they will continue their activities in my mind. I wish they will start their activities again someday.
