                            We climbed about 15minutes a breakdown road by a heavy rain.

 A memorial address for my late Father
 
 My late Father! have been drowned at vast expanse ocean,
Can you understand who I am? Do you know a death of my Mother?

 Perhaps while you don't know real object of that war,
you leave behind a beloved wife and helpless children,and you died.
I think,how empty! how sad! and how disappointing!
Have a sleep in peace,my Father Mitsuyoshi !
(entrust a harmonica with a slight memories)
 Good by Rabaul ! until I will return, Tears stand in my eyes at parting for some time・・・・・・・・・・

 Present !

 We never say 「A toast !」in the place.
A flag hind me is Papua New Guinea's.
