2021 is coming to an end.
This year, I myself have reached the milestone of turning 40 years old.
If I had to use one word to describe this year, "pain" might be the right word.
At the beginning of August, I was unable to eat for five days and had a difficult time both physically and mentally.
As I have told some of you directly, the doctor told me that I had an "adjustment disorder".
I had never been diagnosed as such before, and looking back on that time, I was very shocked. To be honest, I cried when I was alone.
I tried my best to act cheerful and not to lose my identity outside the house so as not to show that kind of appearance or expression, so the people I was meeting may not have noticed much.
If my wife had not sensed that something was wrong with me and helped me find a hospital, I might not be able to write these words now.
I have nothing but gratitude for my wife, and I also feel bad for the pain I caused her and my son.
I am still on medication and fighting the disease.
Finally, after two months of not looking for a web-based job, which is my main source of income, my situation has improved both physically and mentally and I am able to move forward.
I feel that this is the reason for the improvement, as the basketball season has arrived and I am now able to get in touch with what I love.
And another big reason is that I was able to spend a lot of time with my wife and son.
Basketball, my wife and Takkuman (my son) are great!

This year, I have been contacted by various people for work, and I have been able to challenge various things in a fun and positive way.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to everyone involved.
As for web work, I was able to work on the EC of a listed company and on the owned media of a new famous company.
As a journalist, I wrote articles for B.Hope of B.LEAGUE, a column for the fan club site of the Japanese national team, and articles for the fan club of a B1 team, in addition to making a few commentary appearances on TV and radio.
And the biggest challenge was to become an event MC. I was able to MC a big event for a sport called "Run Bike". I also MC'd a few basketball games. I had always loved to speak, so I had to learn from the best, but I was able to do it successfully.
With my three titles of business director, sports journalist, and event MC, I will continue to move forward one step at a time next year and beyond.
Although I was dealing with illness, I was able to reflect on myself and spend a lot of time with my precious family.
In the course of my long life, God may have been saying to me, "Why don't you take a break?"

Once again, I would like to thank many people for their support in 2021.
Thank you very much.
I would like to ask for your continued guidance and encouragement in the coming year.
I hope you all have a happy new year.
