Thoughts on Recent News
When I first heard about Nakakosuke’s arrest, I was honestly surprised. Having listened to
his music, I never expected someone like him to be involved in such an incident. It makes you wonder why these things happen.
Feeling Ashamed
As mentioned in some user comments, there’s a strong feeling of shame. Especially when I think about the feelings of the victim, it really pains my heart. I recall a time when I went to a public bath with friends. We were relaxing and enjoying ourselves, but incidents like this can completely change the atmosphere of such places.
Were Both Parties Unlucky?
Some people say, “Both parties were just unlucky,” but it seems to me that it’s not just a matter of luck. In these environments, we should respect each other and enjoy ourselves, but it’s disappointing when that doesn’t happen. I personally love spending time relaxing at public baths, so it weighs heavily on my mind.
The Importance of Community
Lately, while raising children, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of community. I realize how valuable time spent laughing with family and friends truly is. Every time an incident occurs, I feel the need to cherish the people around us even more. How do you all feel about this news? If you have any memories or opinions, please share them in the comments. There’s so much happening around us, but it would be great if we could think through it together.
