Funabashi

Today I write about my hometown, Funabashi.

Funabashi is a city in Chiba prefecture where many people living in the town is have no particular character. Everybody is ordinary. The town has no particular industry(, although there is a little industrial area along Tokyo bay). In other words, the town is a bedroom suburb. The town is neither urban city nor country. However the town has a large population. It can be said that only a large population is a characteristic of Funabashi city.

I wrote much about bad point of that city. Next I write about good point.

There are some celebrities from funabashi city. Tomohisa Yamasita is the most known person from Funabashi city. He now appears TV drama, "Propose Daisakusen". Azusa Yamamoto is also famous person. She is a TV idol. Kuraki Mai is a famous singer from Funabashi city. Masayosi Hayasi is a pitcher of Yomiuri Giants from this city. There are some celebrities but the reason is the city has a large population. Haruki Murakami lived in this city once.

If I lived in another city, I did not want to live in Funabashi. There is no fascination of Funabashi for me. However I like this city because I come from this city.

I think hometown has a special fascination for everyone. Of course, it is same about me.
