Billy's in Osaka

That's right, he's here!! In Osaka. For real. And not temporarily, not on a tour or something, he is here for good. To live. In additon, he opened a gym(for "boot camp," social dancing, yoga, self-defense, etc...) in Shinsaibashi, actually right across the street from the gym which I go to.
Anyway, rather than writing all about Billy's history, I prefer you to read the below article. If you read the article, you can learn a lot about him, his past, where he is from and how he grew up, his beginnings in stardom, his reasons for coming to Japan, and his thoughts about what he wants to do here. He is a well-spoken guy, and it is interesting. You can pick up a magazine in the classroom anytime.

And, speaking of self-defense and the need for it, did you hear about the business man who was stabbed this morning after accidentally hitting umbrellas while walking to work in Nakanoshima (about a 15-minute walk from here)? Well, read all about it:
