I’m here!
Let me talk about my Grandpa
He was born in Nagano, Japan
went to war and came back
had 3 children and 7 grandchildren including me
an entrepreneur and a traveler
He traveled many places with his wife
Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka
Seoul, Beijing, Jakarta
Bangkok, Katmandu, Kolkata
Dubai, Nairobi, Greece
Naples, Rome, Florence
Genoa, Milan, Venice
He loved Italy!
London, Paris, Switzerland
Rio de Janeiro, Auckland
Mexico, LA, Portland
And he died in Vancouver
I feel his soul
Hey grandpa!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
Oh, I forgot my grandpa is hard of hearing
Could you guys help me?
Please say “I’m here!” with me
He traveled a lot so he can understand any language
When I call out “I’m here!” you guys can say “I’m here!” in your own language!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
I’m here!
僕はここにいる!
Hey Grandpa!
How do you feel?
What?
You died in Vancouver, Washington, in the United States?
Oops, I got that wrong!
