I don't know what to say or tell.
I can immediately remember that day.
I remembered the last earthquake.
I have the feeling that it has been 10 years and that it has certainly passed.
Through the Olympics, through figure skating, I was able to interact with people in the disaster area, have connections, smiles, conflicts, and suffering, which are treasures in my heart. is.
It's painful to think about what you can do, what you should do, and what your role is.
I want to help you, but the days of sadness that began on that day will never disappear, and I will not know what words to say.
However, I have noticed a lot after thinking about it.
This pain, the scars in many people, the sadness and suffering that never disappears ... I thought that if there was it, nothing would be gone.
Pain tells us about the wound, and I think that the wound is proof that the day was there.
I think everything before that day is a proof of existence.
I think there are many people who want to remember and those who want to forget.
I don't want to forget it, but I think I walked forward and ran.
At the same time, I haven't lost anything, but I think I've stopped looking back a lot.
I stopped, felt pain again, became painful, and still spent my days.
Lately, I don't think I wouldn't have had that day.
That's how much I've experienced and accumulated.
With that in mind, I realize that a lot of time has passed since that day.
I feel like this, so I'm sure you all worked hard to the extent that you couldn't imagine it.
I'm impressed with how amazing it is.
I think I have overcome countless sorrows and sufferings.
It's embarrassing because it can only be expressed in childish words, but I think it's really amazing.
Thank you very much for 10 years.
I don't think anything will change suddenly at the turning point of 10 years.
I think there are still some wounds that cannot be healed.
I think there are wounds in the city, wounds in the heart, and wounds that hurt.
I think there are still some things I have to do my best.
I know it's a word that can't be said easily.
I also know that I have to do my best without being told.
But let me tell you.
I think I'm the person who has been most supported by this word, so I think the meaning of that word is the person who knows the power the most, so let me tell you.
Please do your best From that day, we have received a lot of "do your best" from everyone.
thank you very much.
I will do my best, too.
