Another one that I really don't understand. Why does Japan have to be so vague and poetic? Though I like it "coughcoughcough"
Upon this ocean, I met a variety of countries and
The things I had held in such high esteem were completely overturned
"In spring, it is the dawn; in summer, it is the night
In autumn, it is the evening; in winter, it is the early morning"
Underneath the sakura tree, Japan thought about all the countries he has met over the years. Some of them have died out. Others were so far away that they had little to no contact other than for business affairs. Even still others, such as the micronations, were just plain annoying and got on his nerves, although he never shows it.
There were many things that Japan still didn't understand about the countries. America's love of the horror movies that he's so afraid of was one of them. Even more so was England and his strange belief in the existence of magic. He made Japan read Harry Potter once. It was a good book, actually.
Japan opened his eyes when he felt his dog licking his face. Yes he has a dog. It even has a legitimate name… Pochi! He's so cute!
"Pochi, stop it I'm getting up!" Japan stood, a realized that it was getting to be about noon.
"Want to go inside for some lunch boy?"
"Woof!"
