3 months ago, Perfume announced they gonna have their 5th Tour「ぐるんぐるん」in Japan from August till September. PTA fans club member can ballot for 2 tickets of any concert, so I just tried my luck to ballot for the tickets in Tokyo, Yoyogi National Gymnasium and I got THEM!!! My second concert and first concert in JAPAN is definitely going to be Perfume's !!!
2 years ago during the Summer transfer market, Manchester United announced they had sign Shinji Kagawa (香川真司) from BVB(link for the news). I was very excited to see that news because United finally signed a Japanese player!
Press conference to announce the new signing in 2012.
2 great seasons in BVB under manager Klopp had attract a lot of major clubs' attention, including Sir Alex Ferguson. During that moment I kept hoping that he will join United someday and in 2012 it really happened! The 3rd Asian players after Dong and Park to be an United player. He straight away become my favorite Japanese player.
In his first season with Manchester United, he got 26 appearance and scored 6 goals. Even though the statistics was not as great as his time in BVB, he got his first BPL title and helped United got the 20th league title. However his nightmare started after Ferguson announced his retirement after that season. He only got to work with Ferguson for one season.
After that "genius" took over United, he barely use Kagawa. He is such a talented player who often play quick passes and create chances for team mates. However he was always sitting on the bench, wasting his talent. I was so angry that the "genius" didn't use him. After he was being sacked and appointed LVG as the new manager, I thought this might be a new start for Kagawa. But in the end LVG also said Kagawa is not part of his plan. From that moment I truly hope Kagawa can leave United and join back his old club who really want to use him.
Then this morning Manchester United officially announced Kagawa joined back his old club (link). Even though I'm sad to see my favourite player left United, but at the same time I feel happy for him to join back his old club. I really hope he can find back his form there and reach another career peak! Thank you for the past 2 seasons!
BVB official website also say Welcome back home to Kagawa
