< Spring arrives at Easter! Excitement in NY>
The city of NY is warm and cheerful. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Central Park!
Everyone is excited with the forecast for record heat of 28 degrees this Thursday and Friday.
Easter Sunday marks the arrival of spring
There are many people who don't usually go to church, but only for Easter, and every church is overcrowded.
Ikushi Kimiko's Harlem Gospel Tour is also very exciting every year.
Easter is the day Jesus Christ was crucified and executed
Easter to celebrate being resurrected after 3 days!
that's why
We get together in spring-like gorgeous and beautiful colored clothes and rejoice with all our hearts.
(This year, some people decided to travel to New York to spend Easter at a church in Harlem, and there were people who participated in my gospel tour❤️Please come next year!)
and!
After the gospel tour, the usual
I'm going to the hat parade on NY 5th Avenue★
Unheard of this year! A parade is just held in the former president arrest drama
Because the area near my home Trump Tower on NY 5th Avenue had the highest level of security.
A hat parade with a history of over 100 years

I was worried whether the
New York is a lively city as expected when you open the lid!
I had a blast.

< Watch the WBC World Baseball Classic at a sports bar 🇯🇵 >
Watching the WBC semi-finals "Samurai Japan vs. Mexico"!
In New York, a melting pot of races, there are too many different nationalities, countries of origin, favorite sports, and interests.
We don't see the excitement of "raising the country" like Japan, but
When you go to a sports bar, it's another world!
Wearing the colors of each country's national flag and holding beer mugs in one hand
Even people who don't know each other will suddenly become a "team" and it will be the best excitement.
If you come to New York on a trip, I recommend buying a ticket and going to a nearby sports bar instead of going to the ballpark.
If you can't find a sports bar,
Shops with big screens on the walls and Irish bars with a wide selection of beers are also OK!
(However, if you go to the wrong store, you will feel alienated.)
In NY, the match against Mexico will start at 7:00 pm on Monday, March 20th.
Tonight, Japanese people in New York are gathering at an Irish bar in Manhattan to say, "Let's all support Samurai Japan!"
⚫︎Location
THE PLAYWRIGHT IRISH PUB
⚫︎ Address
27 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001
(On 35th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues)
Meanwhile, of course I didn't go downtown to watch the game at my favorite sports bar in Harlem!
I'm wearing the official New Era Japan CAP that I got at a popular CAP specialty shop that Kimiko visits on her harem tour (photo)
* $ 41 CAP is already available online for $ 80 and up ️
When you come to NY, I'm looking forward to meeting you all on my NY information packed Harlem tour with Kimiko.

<Last daylight saving time? begins>
From Sunday, March 12, 2023, it will be daylight saving time in the United States.
When winter ends, the sun rises earlier,
as the sun sets late
get up early, go to work,
Enjoy a lot of leisure time in the bright hours after the evening
Make the most of the bright hours when the sun is shining
= "Save Sunlight"
Therefore, it is also called "Daylight Saving Time (DST)".
Simply put,
At dawn on Sunday (intuitively, midnight on Saturday), the digital clock automatically advances by one hour.
For manual watches,
Before going to bed, put your clock forward one hour.
So, on Sunday mornings, I get to sleep an hour shorter.
Every year before my "Harlem Gospel Tour" on Sunday mornings, I take extra precautions to warn everyone living in Japan, where there is no daylight saving time.
If it's just the way it was yesterday, I'll be an hour late (tears).
This "living by changing the time" is difficult for some people to adjust their internal clocks,
There are also statistics that health damage such as depression increases and traffic accidents increase every year on this day,
Abolition is already underway in Europe.
America abolishes daylight saving time
"Adopt Daylight Saving Time all year round"
Because the bill has passed Congress
Maybe this year is "the last summer time"
may be
this year
I would like to enjoy and taste the feeling of losing an hour of sleep w
(On the other hand, when it's winter time, I'm happy to have an extra hour of sleep.)
When you come to NY, I'm looking forward to meeting you all on my NY information packed Harlem tour with Kimiko.
