Good evening
Yesterday
Or maybe this morning, if you were listening to the repeat broadcast
To the people who managed to say ‘I’m home!’ on Okaeri Radio
Thank you
I read all of your mails one by one
And amongst the senders, I saw many pen-names that I’m familiar with
Aah, you’re all safe.
I feel relieved
I had been feeling worried due to the power cuts yesterday
That left a bit of a question mark hanging over whether the show would go ahead or not but
I really did think
That it was important to communicate with all of you
Through this live broadcast
To get the opportunity to leisurely chat with all of you for an hour
As I usually do
I think that might have
Given a sense of ‘peace’ to all of you
Everybody
Thanks
For your kind mails
I got plenty of mail
From people living in the Tohoku area too
Your words managed to reach me safely
And you got your feelings across properly
So have no worries
The circumstances may be different but
For spelling your feelings out through these difficult times
Thank you
Amongst the mails
Were those written by people who weren’t sure if they could tune in
And those who really wanted to, but couldn’t manage to listen to the show
But hey
It’s alright
If it’s not this week
Then make it next week
And if you can’t tune in next week
Then make it the week after
I’ll always
Be waiting for you
Just say ‘I’m home’
Whenever you wish
Slowly, gently.
In a manner that’s like Okaeri Radio
It’s gonna get chilly tonight but
Don’t lose!
See you tomorrow
