And I started attending Ayumi Nursery School probably on November 1, 1994.

This was because my mother (who was a nurse) had heard from my father (who was a hospital clerk) that she could get a winter bonus if she worked in November.

My parents named me Yuuki and my father registered my birth with Esashi as my place of residence.

We were discharged from the hospital after a week or so, lived in Karumai, and if I recall correctly, moved to Esashi six months later in November 1994.

The nearest Karumai Hospital doesn't have an OB/GYN.

Legend has it that on the night of the storm, my mother thought she was "about to give birth" and took a cab alone to the hospital.

My father was working alone in Esashi during that time.

My mother gave birth to me in her hometown.

This was because she had to leave my brother (who was 1 year and 11 months old at the time of my birth) with my grandparents.

I was born on May 17, 1994 at 1:56 a.m. at Iwate Prefectural Fukuoka Hospital in Ninohe, a city next to Karumai, my mother's hometown.
