Thank you for all your comments, and here is my thought

Hi, everyone.  I was so surprised to see SO MANY people left comments to my previous entry about the fate of this blog, and I would like to thank you all for the warm considerations.  Your comments made me re-think.

In fact, the biggest burden on me was to look for the news everyday and write about it everyday.  So I guess I will just stop that part, until I have that kind of time and energy again.  I definitely will keep this blog and the main site (Hoga Central) intact.  I will continue to write English articles on Keio newsletter from time to time.  Sometimes I get interview materials from my friend Izumi Hasegawa, and I may write articles with them from time to time.  I will post links to those materials on this blog, so at least I can keep it maintained from time to time.

And when I feel like writing, I will just come back here and write.  This blog won't be a news site anymore, but will go back to rather regular "blog" style.  In the meantime, Ryuganji (as you can see on the right pillar no this blog) has a great Japanese movie blog, and Jason Gray also writes great insight about Japanese films.  Please check them out! 

And I hope someday I will have that time and energy to re-start "Hoga News"...

Thank you again for all the encouragement!!  Arigato gozaimasu!!
