My boyfriend gave me a gift.

Everyone was surprised by the news.

Kotaro is my best friend.

He sang a song while beating the waist drum.

I heard the sound of a drum from afar.

He says that what you like to do, you do well, so he practices drawing every day.

He likes to take a walk in the park at dusk.

We should always remember the power of Kannon in difficult times.

This ancient proverb, 'know the other side and yourself, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles', teaches us the importance of understanding ourselves and others.
