This is it, the beginning of of something new. There was nothing left at hme, nothing to keep there. No parents, no  job, no friends, no lover who could persue me to stay. He needed this, start a fresh, somewhere no one knew him, not his past, his previous self, the hard times he had to become who he was today. He hoped for a better life somewhere else, a home, a job, maybe even someone to love. All the things he never had but wanted so badly. Would he find them?

Everything was different, the infrastructure, housing, people, behavior,  the language, though he knew quite a bit of Japanese. He had to, or migrating would have been impossible. He would succeed, finding a job was a must, but with his determination he was sure to succeed. Though...the real reason to coming to Japan was, that exchange student he met in college, the one that made his heart flutter and had been on his mind ever since. They had exchanged numbers and he still remembered his name. He never forgot. ''Minami Jiro'' He whispered, the image of him clearly in his mind. How he wished to see him again.
