(Japanese) I was, well, about 20 when I came to Brazil. When you calculate from that, it’s been 50 years here in Brazil, and all this time I’ve walked on a single path, so there’s absolutely no regret on this path that I’ve taken. Of course, financially speaking, there might have been a better way to have gone about things, but I feel that I am very blessed that I was able to do what I wanted to do for 50 years. If you ask me what I would do if I could go back in time and go through it again, I think I would keep the mistakes that I’ve made in the back of my mind, and improve the journey so that I could have an even better experience.
