You'll have to wait until it arrives to find out which song is written inside!
・Are you sure you want me? I'm lazy and I have so many umbrellas.
Drinking beer while it's still light out on a weekday. Look at the beer. This is summer.
3, 2, 1, you'll forget everything. That was just an explanation, so don't cry.
This is an easy-to-read book, even for those picking up a poetry collection for the first time.
For those who like tanka,
This is a recommended collection of poems for those who are about to make their debut with a collection of poems.
[Message from author Maho Okamoto]
Hello, I'm Okamoto and I work at Cork.
Unrelated to my work at Cork, I had been steadily writing tanka poems as a hobby even before joining the company.
This has now been published as a collection of poems.
Before I knew it, for some reason the Water Bus to Asakusa was being sold at my company's store.
Eh, that's a thing! (laughs)
My colleagues at Cork are kind people who bought my songbook on the day it was released and supported my work.
We've even held autograph sessions at our company.
I'm also really happy that my collection of poems is now available for sale in online stores.
This is a book that even people who don't really understand tanka can enjoy.
If you're interested, please pick it up.
Thank you very much!
