English wiki page for Norichika Aoki

Norichika Aoki is the latest addition to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. Aoki is a 3 time Batting Champion and a 6-time Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star who just entered the Major Leagues for the first year with the Milwaukee Brewers. Everyone has been wondering how he will do. His debut is actually pretty helpful for me. When describing where I am from to my Japanese students who are studying English, I sometimes try to break the ice with Brewers baseball because A) Baseball is a favorite past time here and B) Aoki is making headlines in a big way these days all across Japan and the US so he is hard to miss. This season I will be watching Aoki in great anticipation along with the rest of Japan. Below is his debut in the Brewers TV commercials.

J. writes: Finally, a warm day in Tokyo, full of adventure with friends new and old. After my morning English lessons (teacher, not student: for all you wisenheimers out there), I hurried over to meet my student, Hiromi, for a private English lesson. This week, depending on the weather, we had decided to meet at the Imperial Palace and find a quiet place to sit down and have a lesson. The weather cooperated. Beautiful, sunny, and just enough flowers blooming to remind us that spring is near. During our hunt for the ever elusive free-roaming park bench, Hiromi and I happened to find a pair of dear friends along the way. My new Brazilian roommate Rodrigo, and my dear friend and good roommate, Yasser of Egypt. We all had a good laugh over the good fortune and impossible odds of actually meeting serendipitously midday in midtown Tokyo. I introduced Yasser and Rodrigo to Hiromi then sent them on their way to enjoy a nap on the Imperial lawn while Hiromi and I tracked down an open bench on a quiet footpath and had a pleasant hour-long lesson.
From Left to Right: Yasser (Egypt), Hiromi (Japan), Jonathan (USA), Rodrigo (Brazil). In front of the Imperial Palace on a sunny Spring afternoon in Tokyo.
After Hiromi and I finished our lesson, not even 30 seconds later, we ran into these "good-for-nothings" again. The four of us rounded the corner at the same moment like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. I was so completely flabbergasted by such random luck that I ran and gave Yasser a giant bear-hug. (Yeah it was THAT crazy of a day). On our way out of the park we ran into a group of volunteers who had finished raking up the Imperial lawn. A group of teenage girls was elected to entertain 100 or so other volunteers. We happened upon this wonderment and Yasser was asked to join in, to the delight of everyone including ourselves.
I can't think of a better ending to a phenomenal day. :-D
P.S. After work tonight, we have all agreed to share Rodrigo's bottle of 51, Brazilian 80 proof rum (cachaça) which we are to drink with fresh lemons and sugar. My last lesson of the night can't finish soon enough!!
