What a day! It looks like I am just around the corner to getting myself a job and a visa!!!

I met up and spoke with Mark today, and we both decided that it would fantastic to work together. Although it turns out that he’s doing much more than I thought he was, and so we may very well turn out to be lifetime business partners!

I mentioned before that his nickname is 丸く、 which actually means “round.” Half of why he has this name has to do with that meaning, and the other half is that it’s just easier for most of the world to remember Mark than Souta.

But as for the meaning, his dream is to reach out to people all over the world and connect them. He often says his goal is to 世界を丸くする、 which literally translates “to rounden out the world.” Ｂｕt 丸く also has the meaning of harmony. So to translate it in a way that makes more sense, he’s out to make the world a better place.

And to do that, he’s taken the route of business, and his goal is to create and own multiple business that all reach out internationally to different parts of the world. The actual businesses are of less import. He actually began with suits because he found an opportunity there. I was kind of amazed when I heard this, but then after listening to him for a bit I understood.

I am to style and fashion, as Mark is to business.

He is successful at what he does, and pretty much most of his business technique is self developed. He is alert, observes what works and what doesn’t, and isn’t afraid to experiment and find new ways to improve. His love of people and business are what drive him.

I can work with someone like that. And I actually think I can work with him while also achieving my styling dreams at the same time, for years to come. It’s amazing how things turn out in life. There are surprises waiting for you every step of the way. If I were to believe in fate, then maybe this is one reason why I never gave coming to Japan a second thought!

We haven’t figured exactly what I’m going to be doing yet, but I might get involved with teaching him English, working as an interpreter, or even getting involved in order-made suit sales to get started. The first step is to get all the documents required for the visa in order, and get the process started.

Ah man, life from here on out is going to be really fun!
