Dear Echizen,
I hope you are doing well! Although, I do know that you actually are doing quite well because we Regulars watch you every night on t.v. at my dad's sushi restaurant. We are so proud of our kouhai.
When you come back, you are welcome to a free all-you-can-eat night here at the restaurant, regardless if you win the championship or not…
BURNING! BUT OF COURSE YOU WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, BABY! THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINING FOR SINCE YOU WERE BORN!!!
Hehe, I got a little carried away there. Anyway, you are invited to an all-you-can-eat night, and we can even invite the Regulars as well. It could be a welcome back party for you when you return.
BUT IT WILL BE MORE LIKE A CONGRATULATIONS PARTY BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO WIN THE U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, ECHIZEN! DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT! DON'T HOLD BACK!
I know how much you love Japanese cuisine, and I would send you some of the sushi I made if I knew it wouldn't go bad in the mail. Instead, I found some coupons for Japanese restaurants in America. A family friend of mine owns a restaurant there. You could even mention my name to him and possibly get a completely free meal there.
Good luck with your future matches,
Taka
GREAT-O! YOU CAN DO THIS, BABY!
