Finally

Satoru Matsuo, who will appear on the program, was featured in last year’s January 1 issue of Nishinomiya City News. There was an episode at Nishinomiya Shrine where it felt like he had a sudden moment of enlightenment, and it really stuck with me. Does anyone remember it? When I looked for it, I found the archive. I want to experience the same thing.
