Mr. Konoe is my best friend.

His house is at the nearest point from my house.

Let's have a picnic in the nearby park.

He is a close relation of mine.

He went off in a frenzy out of anger.

He went into a frenzy and began to destroy the room.

He outsmarted his competitors by using a contrarian business strategy.

He succeeded in business by going against the grain.

The river water is flowing in the opposite direction.
