あばよJAKE...

So, last night we partied at 'jake' for the last time. It was a wonderful evening, but bittersweet... Seri-chan, Yumi and Kino-P all sang songs dedicated to me. Shinichi also showed up, even though we haven't kept in touch recently. I was really touched that he thought enough of me to want to come and say goodbye. Lots of other friends also popped in by coincidence, so it ended up being a really great night.

I think 'jake' will always have a special place in my heart. It has an atmosphere completely different from any other place in Fukui... or Japan for that matter. So relaxed and welcoming... when I'm there I feel as though I can completely be myself. It's kind of reminiscent of an American jazz/blues bar, but at the same time, not. Does that make sense? Probably not. ^^;;

All I can say is that I have a lot of good memories of the nights I spent there, and of all the people I met.

I'm so grateful!

さぁ、昨日は最後のjakeの夜だった。（涙）とても楽しかった夜だったけど、なんとかほろ苦い気分だよね。芹ちゃんもゆみちゃんもKino-Pも私に歌を捧げてくれた。嬉しいわ！そして最近連絡してないのに、伸一君も来てくれた。とても感動しました！他の友達もいっぱい居たで、ちょ～楽しかった！ホントに最高でした！

心の中にjakeのいい思い出はいっぱいあります！なんか普通のバーと全然違う雰囲気です。すごく暖かくて気軽い店だよね。日本っぽくないし、でもアメリカっぽくないし...　ユニークなバーです。何よりもjake風だわ！

とにかく、私はjakeで過ごした夜の思い出は大切にします！そこで出会った友達の思い出もね。

ホントに感謝します！

じゃあ、また今度！オヤスミ！(-.-)Zzz
