ItalianoGACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:
This morning after my training I immediately prepared to set out.
Although l’m here in Okinawa only for a short while,
But I get to spend time leisurely together with my friends.
It’s precious and meaningful.
Then, I’m going back to Tokyo to continue my work.
The airport staff brought me to the newly built VIP room.
It’s narrower than I thought,
But it’s enough just to waste some time.
In this short while I was healed by the sweet smiles from the land staff.
There wasn’t any empty seat in the plane.
It would have been great if there was a more luxurious flight between Tokyo and Okinawa.
Actually the ticket to Okinawa is more expensive than some international route.
If this issue isn’t solved,
it will affect the future development of Okinawa.
Because if the ticket price doesn’t differ much from the international flight, everybody will just choose to go overseas…this is what I think.
Then,
There’s the piling up of many reality issues.
As a tourist city,
Okinawa still isn’t established enough.
Although it’s developing at the moment, but the issues they have now are still being ignored.
If Okinawa doesn’t start to face these,
It will surely get backfired.
After I reached Tokyo, I went to Westin Hotel for tea,
And meeting at the same time.
This time,
I had many opportunities to talk to the hotel’s person in charge in Okinawa.
However if they are still developing under such unbalanced circumstances,
And they do not rectify the issues,
I wished there were more local talented people…
To the people staying in Okinawa,
I hope they have better living conditions,
And,
I sincerely hope that Okinawa can retain they original charm,
To properly, and gracefully continue to develop.
