The day before yesterday, I went with an elderly friend to see the musical My Bucket List, starring KwangSoo from the Korean dance and vocal group Supernova（超新星）. The performance took place at Asakusa Kagekijo, located behind Sensoji Temple, next to Hanayashiki amusement park. It was a two-hour, two-person stage play.
KwangSoo, who is Korean, could barely speak Japanese a little over ten years ago. But in this musical, he performed entirely in Japanese—both songs and dialogue—for two hours, which truly amazed me. I believe he is an incredibly hard worker. 😌
This musical, originally from Korea, tells the story of Kang, a delinquent, and Hae-gi, a terminally ill boy. Despite being complete opposites, they work together to fulfill Hae-gi’s list of 100 things he wants to do before he dies. The show has been performed not only in Korea but also in Japan, where it seems to be quite popular.
After returning home, I looked up My Bucket List and found that there’s an app with the same title. Here it is: ↓↓
When I thought about what 100 things I’d want to do before I die, I realized that I’d already done most of the things I wanted to. Of course, there are still some left, but at most, I could probably name around 20.
Two years ago, I had emergency surgery for perforated peritonitis（穿孔腹膜炎）. When I opened my eyes after the operation, I thought, “Oh, I’m alive…” But more than that, I strongly felt that I had been kept alive by God—that I still have a mission to fulfill in this life.
