It was 1963 or 64, we were renting a house in Chigasaki for the summer. We means a group of buddies from high school. Everyone of us had wealthy parents and was not earning but relied on parents and getting petty cash from them.

I was playing piano at a restaurant where they served French cuisine. The pay was good. I play solo starting 6 o’clock in the evening till 12 and getting JPY45000. That was a couple of years before my graduation and my starting payroll was 25000. I thought I should be playing piano forever at the time.

There was the mah-jong session going on every night.

One night, when I got back I saw a couple both younger than I was. They were there though no other members dare noticed. She was skinny but with nice cups on her breast.

Next morning, as I got up and out to the beach to take a walk, she came after me. As both of us arrived at the beach, that was about 5 minutes walk, she jumped into the sea. I was watching her swim. She invited me and I joined a little hesitation.

As we walked back she said that there was nothing with the guy who she came along. And said she was 16. We were driving around the beach that day. I took her along to the restaurant where I played. She left while I was playing that evening. So, I took that was it.

After a week or so, she came along alone and we dated and kissed. The whole thing started at the time.

I didn’t expected to meet a girl who was my wife to be but I did. A few years later, I took her to New York right after the marriage but divorced 8 years later as we came back from New York. Everything happened so fast. But that remains as the sweet memory, to tell you the truth.
