Good evening~
Colds are going around.
Are you all in good health?
Let's both you and I be careful, eh....
A handshake event sales period starts today
And goes until tomorrow (the 25th) at 2:30pm.

I want you to come and meet me
Whenever you'd like.
When you feel that impulse,
If you'd like to...!
Recently, my father,
Said, "You should watch these
"and loaned me all three Back to the Future movies.
As it turns out, I hadn't actually seen them,
And I watched them all at once.
They were enjoyable...
All the more so because I watched them with my family.
I've recently been watching films
Warmly and happily all by myself.
For some reason, my father called Remember Me
Honey Honey Rock. (Cuuute...)
They've made a second edition
Of the Neru-chan Map!!
I had a look at it!!!
They also sent me a message on it.
Truly, truly, thank you so much.
The people in the town at Gotou...
The kids who came were cute and well-mannered.
"We had a good time doing it!"
They told me.
It gave me such a warm and happy feeling.
Actually,
We said: "You be cute!" and "It were fun!"
Thank you very much to all of you who have visited Gotou.
Thank you so much
For being good to a town I love and that is important to me.
I'm not sure
What standpoint I'm looking from,
But I feel so grateful and happy.
A few days ago was Coming of Age Day.
Thinking how grateful I was to my parents for raising me to the age of 20
Brought tears to my eyes.
What a wonderful family to be born into! I thought.
And got tears in my eyes again.
(That's a bit of a lie. I was smiling from embarrassment.)
But truly,
To my parents and to all the people who have surrounded me,
All the people who have given me such help:
Thank you very much. That's how it is.
Every single day!!
The maid outfit I'll wear sometime.
Thank you very much for reading.

The second edition of the Neru-chan Map, a map of the town there made by locals in honour of Neru and to further promote their town:
Neru lived on the island from age 3 to age 7, while her father taught there. They returned most summers for fun. And she shot much of her photobook there.
I think when she speak about the people coming to her with the map that she is giving uus some of their real Nagasaki dialect -- the meaning of which I'm just guessing at: "可愛かとよー!楽しかとよー!"
Coming of Age Day (Wikipedia)
Remember Me is the Japanese name for the Disney/Pixar film Coco -- as well as the name of the main song in it. Why Neru's dad might might refer to it as Honey Honey Rock (which I trust is what ホネホネロック transliterates) I don't know. I've searched around but am none the wiser. If anyone can help me here: please. COME ON!!
