Hello,
I noticed in the article on your life that was posted that you were born in Ibaraki. I would like to know....

1) Where in Ibaraki?
2) Do you like Mito Natto?
3) Do you sometimes still use "da pe" when you talk?

I was born in Ibaraki, but I moved to Noda by the time I began elementary school. I don't like Natto much and I can't speak in the Ibaraki dialect.

Thank you for your reply.
The real question I had was where in Ibaraki you were born. Everything else was just an attempt to lighten the mood after all the deadly serious questions. I am just a little curious since I live in Ibaraki. Please tell me what town, city or villiage you were born in.

I was born in Otaniguchi in Iwai City (my mother's hometown). Their house burned in the air raids on Tokyo so my parents moved to my mother's home and I was born there.
