「MINAMI」

About 30 years ago, I came out of the countryside and lived in Osaka.

The first place where I lived was Tenroku, and the place where I went to play was North.

Minami is a city where fashionable people go,

It was a high hurdle for me coming out of the countryside.

I'm disappointed. I was a little scared.

I was jealous of such an energetic city

(Osamu Yokonami)
