■ 日本一おしゃべりな幼なじみのヨシカのこと
Yoshika has many episodes pulling out smiles and laughter. In our favorite Osamu Tezuka’s cartoon “The Phoenix”, there was a scene a girl introducing herself “Kigisu, 16”. Kigisu was the girl’s name in the story but Yoshika somehow misunderstood Kigisu means age and she asked every person she met "How many Kogisus do you have?". When Yoshika's ice cream spinned off the candy cane, Yoshika catched the cream with the cane swiftly before it hit the ground, screaming "Ice catch!". It was really a nice catch. Remembering such episodes, laughter comes out instead of tears.
The ceremony was over while I was missing chance to cry. I talked with my childhood friends “We would go forward without really understanding Yoshika is gone” Since I was a child, I would not show tears to Yoshika, my rival. That might be a reason I still can’t cry for her.
When living next doors, Yoshika and I called each other by whistle. Yoshika whistled "The Holy Night" and I whistled "Hope" by Taku Izumi. Yoshika will never show up again even if I whistle.
In my diary at December 22, 2002. I wrote, "Japan is peace and quiet these years because talkative Yoshika is away for Berlin" but I didin’t expect it last forever. At the same time, I never felt Yoshika so close to me. The more I think of her, the closer she is. Yoshika is not gone, she is here, close to me, part of me, because she made such a big influence to me. Her words, her attitudes, her way of thinking, are flown into my blood. In what I write, there is surely Yoshika. After all no tears but smiles, and I would like to say to Yoshika "Thank you" rather than "Goodbye".
When jogging together, Yoshika was always too fast to catch up. Like her way of running, she went through her life with all her might.
