Trivia: 3 days after this shooting, Prefecture of Tokyo closed Ueno Park in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus. It’s been our traditional custom to have parties under Sakura trees at this time of every year though… I’m very sad that this year is not like any other years in the past at all. I wish our ordinary and peaceful days to come back to everybody in the world soon.
