UPDATE — Fuji TV has had removed the video that someone posted on Youtube (and that I had embedded below — but the audio is still up, see also below) … so here is a photo of Senme back in the early days (December 2009), when they were just starting their many years of hard work to become a successful acapella group, and another photo of them in our living room celebrating the victory with their big shiny plastic trophy (April 2010).

Not cycling related, but as anyone who has been near me these past few weeks knows, my son’s singing group appeared tonight on the 10th national „Hamonepu“ acapella singing contest on Fuji TV, and they won! How can you compete with 6 kids about to graduate from high school and go their separate ways–around the world to different places for university and their futures–singing a song like this. So as you listen, just think about MOB’s impending departure from these shores across the sea, and think of others who have left our fellowship in recent years … and you, too, might just shed a tear.
