Japan's Nippon Television (NTV) currently running its 32nd "24 Hour Television." The special program is held every summer at the end of August and aimed to promote the charity drive based on the theme, Love Saves the Earth. A variety of celebrities stay up 24 hours straight with special host NEWS and one of the main event this year is three full marathons (126.585 km) by a Japanese female comedian, IMOTO Ayako who is famous for a TV program "Sekai no Hate made ItteQ" as an exotic animal hunter. I'm really a big fan of her, by the way. ;) There are also several events through 24 hours and they will support and cheer your "Start." Do you have anything that you are trying to start? Or did you start anything recently?
I've started playing the piano again. I started to take piano lesson when I was around 9. Before that I played Electone. I like piano but after graduated from junior high, I don't play so much like I used to. Now I started from easy numbers and enjoy the music life.

By the way, some web sites says that this program is bastard charity because these celebrities get money from production expense. I don't know this is truth or not. But if it's true, I'm so disappointed at this show. They often focus on disabled people or children for the main events and it has enjoyed high viewer rating at this time of year. Some celebrities who think it's not real charity (like KITANO takeshi, AKASHIYA sanma) avoid appearing on this program. Now, I don't know what to believe in...
