Northstar: We’re Almost There
WORDS NILS PLETT
IMAGE KAYO YAMAWAKI
One year ago, I shared the exciting news that the Club would be moving forward with a long-overdue upgrade of our core management system, replacing the 18-year-old Abacus platform with Northstar, a modern club management system used by many of our peers and reciprocal clubs around the world. At that time, I committed to providing a final implementation schedule once confirmed. After nearly a year of behind-the-scenes work, I’m thrilled to report that we now have a go-live date: August 1.
While that single date is certainly exciting, getting to this point has involved months of detailed planning, coordination and collaboration across multiple teams. The most difficult—and time-consuming—step has been the conversion and migration of Member, financial and operational data from Abacus to the Northstar environment. This critical process ensures that we preserve the continuity of information Members and staff rely on every day.
With the bulk of that data conversion now complete, our focus has shifted to training and testing. Over the past two months, Club staff have participated in training sessions to
familiarize themselves with the new tools and workflows. Northstar brings a host of automation and efficiency improvements, and our team is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition.
That said, there’s still more to be done. Over the next month, we’ll complete final validations, prepare improved internal processes and resolve any outstanding issues. This is essential to ensure we can go live with confidence on August 1 and deliver a seamless experience for both staff and Members.
As anyone familiar with a system migration knows, it’s not just a matter of flipping a switch. We’ll be taking a phased approach to the rollout, giving staff time to get comfortable with the new system before we introduce the Member-facing web portal and mobile app. The web portal is expected to launch during the second week of August, with real-time statements available starting August 1 (previous statements will be accessible as PDFs). The mobile app is scheduled to go live during the fourth week of August, unlocking a vastly improved digital experience for Members, with streamlined reservations, personalized communications, online ordering, real-time account access and more.
Beginning in mid-July, we’ll publish the full rollout schedule and provide step-by-step instructions on how to access and navigate the new platform as features become available. We’ll also host in-person info sessions to walk Members through the changes and answer any questions prior to the release of the mobile app.
I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to all staff who have worked so diligently over the past year—and especially the past few months—to ready the system for launch. From data validation and training to process testing and troubleshooting, their effort, flexibility and commitment have been essential in getting us to this point.
Implementing a comprehensive platform like Northstar is no small feat, but the results will be transformative. Thank you for your patience, your feedback and your continued support as we prepare to launch this new chapter. We’re almost there!

SWIMMING
In the Fast Lane
The Hong Kong International School Stingrays Last Splash Meet, held from May 23 to 25, drew 519 swimmers from 20 teams and countries around Asia. It also provided a stage for the Tokyo American Club Swim Team (TACST) to put in top performances and personal bests.

50-meter backstroke. Kenny Schamisso swam to bronze in the boys’ 10-and-over 200-meter individual medley and 100-meter breaststroke, while his sister Emily won a silver in the girls’ 10-and-over 100-meter breaststroke. In the final day of competition, the girls’ 13-and-over medley relay team—Emily Schamisso, Linea Furber, Hannah Moro and Mina Roces— claimed second place. Kudos to the TACST! AJ
Season of Change
The renovation of the second- and fourthfloor locker rooms is under way and will make the areas even more comfortable and convenient. Key improvements will be made to the fourth-floor Men’s Locker Room, which will be closed from July 1 to August 31 to add lockers and upgrade the wet area. During this time, Members will not have access to their rental lockers. Belongings can be stored in the lockers during the closure or removed beforehand. As Recreation Director Susanna Yung explains: “The Studio on the second floor will temporarily serve as a changing room, with lockers available for daily use. Or you can use the facilities on the second and fifth floors. We look forward to welcoming you to the upgraded facilities in September!”

Growing up in Iowa City—just the third town to be named a UNESCO City of Literature—Jeffrey Schnack gained an early fondness for stories. “I remember reading books in school by Kurt Vonnegut and Philip Roth, and seeing movies like The World According to Garp and First Blood, and hearing an adult say, ‘Oh yeah, I saw him downtown the other day,’” says the Member, referring to four authors with connections to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, including John Irving and David Morrell, whose books were the basis for the films.
“In one book, there was actually a scene set at the rec center where I would play basketball every Saturday. I always thought that was pretty cool.”

Warm Welcome
The Club isn’t just a thriving hub for Members, it also greets a steady stream of their guests. In fact, the Azabudai clubhouse alone registers an average of 200 guests every day.
“Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment for your guests,” Member Services Director Jonathan Allen explains. “To help, we suggest that you register your guests in advance. And be sure to meet them at the entrance and accompany them while they are here.”
He also notes that visitors aged 13 and up will be asked to show ID when they enter.
“Don’t forget that any individual guest can visit the Club a maximum of four times a month. We look forward to having your friends and colleagues visit and experience the Club.” AJ
What was your favorite childhood book? I can’t name just one. I read everything from The Canterbury Tales to the Hardy Boys, along with sports biographies, World War II stories and everything in between.
What inspired your love of books?
Definitely my mom, who was an English educator and longtime advocate for reading. She organized a partners program in the school district for kids to discuss books with elderly volunteers, did weekly book reviews on the radio as The Book Lady and was famous for asking everyone, “What are you reading today?” I think of her every time I pick up a book.
What genre do you most enjoy?
I heard that as men age they tend toward historical nonfiction, and saw that in myself. So I have been challenging myself to expand with new, unfamiliar young fiction authors (anything on display in the Club Library) and just coast and relax with lowbrow spy novels, such as Mick Herron’s Slow Horses series because of the snarky British humor, or old detective series like John Sandford because of the occasional reference to my home state of Iowa.
What are you currently reading?
Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui and The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto by Benjamin Wallace.
When were you last unable to put down a book?
It happens a lot. The last time was when I read A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by CA Fletcher in one sitting. Binge reading on the weekend is my Netflix.

One of the joys of being a Member of the Club is the connections you build, not just with fellow Members but also with staff.
Lowly Norgate found just such a connection with Wichien Sanguansree in Rainbow Café. That’s why she asked INTOUCH to recognize the widesmiled Thai for his years of support for her family.
The UK native recalls a November 12 years ago when family was in town and her son, Ace Patrick, was a newborn. “I was dealing with the baby and trying to entertain everyone at the same time as we sat outside on the terrace. Wichien came over and asked if he could bring me a plate from the buffet. He made me a Thanksgiving arrangement. It was just perfect.”
Over the years since, Sanguansree has grown fond of Ace and the Norgate-Patrick family.
“I feel like they are not just customers—they are my family,” says Sanguansree, who joined the Club team in 2008. “They call my name all the time, are friendly and smile, and I have had a warm feeling watching the kids grow up.”
Norgate says she appreciates how Sanguansree is so understanding and caring of Ace, who is autistic and often walks around the restaurant to self-soothe and has particular food requests—he especially loves the adult burgers, but with no vegetables. “He understands Ace’s safe foods.”
Sanguansree, she adds, always greets them even when he is serving in other areas. “Whenever we see him, he is very friendly and chatty … just—you know—welcoming. He is always so helpful and understanding, it just makes you feel good about taking your kids there. It’s always a joy to see him.” CBJ

It was delightful to see Members enjoy the series of washoku events presented at the Club over the past month. Chef Kimio Nonaga’s special dinner at the Nihonbashi clubhouse and the Wine Committee’s sake tasting seminar at Azabudai were delicious hits. Now, Traders’ Bar gets into the spirit with a refreshed sake selection that invites Members to continue their exploration of Japan’s most satisfying sips.
Mizubasho Pure Sparkling Sake (¥5,500 for a 360-milliliter bottle) is the perfect aperitif for two or three people to share. This is the first sparkling sake made using in-bottle secondary fermentation— the same method used to produce Champagne. Dry with 13 percent alcohol, Mizubasho Pure pairs well not only with Japanese cuisine but also calamari and fried zucchini.
Mizubasho Junmai Daiginjo “Sui” (¥1,100) is freshly poured right from the 180-milliliter bottle. Junmai can be translated as “pure rice,” with no additional alcohol added. Ginjo refers to the level of polish applied to the rice. For daiginjo, at least 50 percent of the outer rice layers are polished away, resulting in a clean, delicate umami and smooth mouthfeel. Try it chilled with nachos, hot dogs or a chicken wrap for an unexpected combination that may become your new favorite.
Want to try pairings at home? The Cellar carries 720-milliliter bottles of these palate-satisfying sakes.
Kanako Ijichi is the manager of the Club’s wine program.

JULY
Star-Spangled Activities
Over the years, Independence Day has been as much a celebration of America’s founding as it is a time for families to play, relax and take in tunes together. It might be at a picnic with relatives you haven’t seen since last year or a local celebration in the heart of town. Inspired by these traditions, the Club has assembled a wealth of activities to mark the Fourth of July weekend that conjure up the ambience of celebrations past while adding a modern touch.
So this year, whether you’re testing your feasting prowess at a watermeloneating contest, bowling strikes on the lanes or listening to American classics, you’ll be filled with the spirit of ’76. AJ

Exhibition: Lokahi
On the Big Island of Hawaii, artists Michael and Akiko Cutlip have found inspiration in paradise.
Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Michael discovered art while studying business, while Tokyo native Akiko found her interest in painting take wing once in college. “Every day felt like a new discovery, a new way of seeing myself through the act of creating,” she says.
The couple will share their works this month in the Frederick Harris Gallery with a joint exhibition titled Lokahi, which means unity, harmony and balance in Hawaiian.
“My work begins deep within—emotions, memories, sensations all rising to the surface, finding life through my hands, through paint on canvas,” explains Akiko. “Growing up between two cultures, two worlds has shaped the very language of my art.”
For Michael, painting is about the journey. “Life is not constant, and neither is art. My work is a testament to the ever-changing rhythms of life, shaped by where I’ve been and where I am now.” CBJ
Members are invited to attend the opening reception on July 8 at 6:30pm.
Moment I realized I wanted to become an artist.
Akiko: During my very first art class in college.
Michael: When I took a drawing class just one semester before earning my business degree.
What I would tell my 20-year-old self.
Akiko: Believe in yourself and keep creating. Don’t be swayed by your audience—only you hold the true meaning behind your work.
Michael: Live boldly and with confidence. Trust your instincts, follow your dreams and stay connected to your passion.
My perfect creative environment.
Akiko: Nestled amid lush tropical plants and vibrant blooms, with a constant symphony of nature.
Michael: The custom-built studio we share in Hawaii, surrounded by nature.
Artist, living or dead, I’d most like to share a meal with.
Akiko: [Japanese dyer, artist, designer, and educator] Samiro Yunoki.
Michael: [American sculptor] Alexander Calder.

Premier Classic
The Club’s showcase squash tournament returns this month for three days of thrilling court action.
Now in its 14th edition, the competition draws Japan’s top male and female pros and is sanctioned by the Japan Squash Association (JSA), the national governing body for squash. The JSA promotes the sport, organizes tournaments and player rankings and represents Japan in international squash organizations and competitions.
The TAC Premier Classic is regarded as one of the biggest events on Japan’s squash circuit and comprises the main open tournament, where players compete for prize money, and a friendship tournament.
Member Yuga Koda, a regular on Club courts since he was a kid who now ranks among the top 20 nationally, says: “The Club championships are fun. They’re a good, friendly way to get serious with people who you may play with regularly.” Koda won the annual Club Squash Championship A division three years in a row from 2018 to 2020 and is looking forward to this year’s TAC Premier Classic. He shares more about his journey on page 21.
The qualifying rounds for the open and friendship tournaments take place on July 19 and 20, respectively, with both sets of semifinals and finals on July 21. The three days conclude with an awards ceremony. CBJ

RED, WHITE AND BLUE MEMORIES
With its expanded Independence Day Celebration, the Club rekindles the spirit of Fourths of July past.
WORDS TIM HORNYAK
IMAGES TAKUMARU SUZUKI
Lights, camera, fireworks! Each summer, Tokyo’s international community gathers for the Club’s annual Independence Day Celebration. The festivities have become a cherished tradition, blending patriotic flair, community spirit and family-friendly fun into a full day of vibrant activity. As the Club prepares to mark America’s 249th birthday this month, Members reflect on what they love about the celebration itself and the Club’s creative interpretations of America’s national birthday.
The 2023 edition was a milestone because it was the first to feature a sound and light show with projection mapping. It’s a technique in which 3-D objects are turned into canvases for images or video. Specialized software and projectors “map” imagery onto the surface of anything from a mannequin to a skyscraper.
“It’s
this year’s Fourth of July in Hawaii with his daughter’s family, his first Fourth in the States since 1979. “I think it’s good, it’s more interesting for people. I think it’ll grow because word gets around that you’ll have a good time. And the food trucks are probably the biggest factor.”
Culinary delights have always been central to the Club’s Fourth of July offerings, and menus have featured barbecued ribs, brisket, corn on the cob and pecan pie. Food, fireworks and music are part of the reason that Silvia García Blanco and her family will be attending their second Fourth of July at the Club this year. Silvia, her husband Aitor García Merino and their children Rodrigo, 7, and Jimena, 9, are from Spain. For many Club Members (about 76 percent hail from countries other than the United States), the day is a chance to learn about and take part in the rich legacy of America’s founding.
Silvia has never experienced the Fourth in the US, but Aitor spent summers in Rhode Island as a child learning English. He still remembers the parades and traditional celebrations with great fondness, and the Club’s celebration brings some of that spirit back for him. The family appreciates the Club’s blend of tradition and creativity as well as how the event brings people of different backgrounds together in celebration.
a fantastic opportunity, not only for Americans living abroad to feel at home but also for people who never had the chance to celebrate the Fourth of July in the United States.”
Last year’s event also left a lasting impression with its reimagined lineup. From a morning fun run to a stunning evening music and light show, the day was a showcase of creativity and tradition. Food trucks and a buffet offered classics like pulled pork burgers, Philly cheesesteaks, candy apples and ice cream. The Club’s signature watermelon-eating contest, its take on a classic Independence Day tradition, sparked laughter and friendly rivalry.
One Member who has a store of memories of Independence Day in the US is Kyle Murphy. Hailing from upstate New York, Murphy is a former US Embassy worker who served in the Vietnam War. He recalls hot dogs, potato salad and fireworks from celebrations in his youth.
Murphy has been attending Independence Day celebrations at the Club since joining in 1992 and says recent Fourths have benefited from the energy of Culture, Community & Entertainment Committee Chair Matthew Tappenden. Murphy especially likes the food trucks, fireworks and games.
“It’s fun to watch the kids do them, especially the dunk tank. I did that when I was young—[both] throwing the ball and being dunked,” says Murphy, who plans to spend
“As a Spanish family, we see it as a beautiful opportunity to experience and honor American culture,” says Silvia. “We also think it’s a fantastic opportunity, not only for Americans living abroad to feel at home but also for people who never had the chance to celebrate the Fourth of July in the United States. The Club makes it possible to live that festive spirit in a truly special way.”
For Christopher Cornute, Independence Day brings back memories of barbecuing with his father on the patio in Texas, playing with fireworks at night and going fishing before dawn.
While they usually go to Texas in July, Cornute took his wife Wakako and their children Aiden, 11, and Kailah, 13, to their first Fourth of July at the Club last year so they could get a taste of the tradition in Japan. He agrees with Silvia that the event brings the community together, adding it provides an opportunity to express appreciation to all the Club staff who make such events possible.
“I come from a family of several service members. My mother was a Marine and my grandfather served in the Air Force, so I have a deep respect for those who chose to serve and protect our country,” says Cornute. “The Fourth of July, to me, is really a time to get together with family and community and celebrate togetherness. It also is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that all those who have come before us have made which allow us to enjoy peace and freedom.”

Along the way, she became a multiplatinum artist, recipient of seven Japan Gold Disc Awards and a streaming sensation, with more than 400 million plays across Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon Music. And on July 5, she’ll help Members ring in America’s 249th birthday at the Club’s daylong Independence Day Celebration.
“I believe it came about because of the ballads I kept releasing,” she tells INTOUCH of the princess moniker. “It created my own lane that I didn’t even expect. When I was given that name, I didn’t realize how long it would stick around. I’m humbled by it.”
Born in Malaysia, Che’Nelle began singing in her father’s karaoke bar. When she was 10, she moved to Perth, Australia. Her eyes were always set on being a singer. In high school, she played in a pop cover band.
Asked what that girl would think about the artist she has become, she says: “Wow, Che! You really experienced the most amazing ride in the music industry—and still are—with all the unexpected opportunities, singing in a language you don’t really speak, but nonetheless doing what you love. That alone is an amazing achievement. Go you! I’m proud of you and am so happy that you chose to follow your dreams no matter how impossible a lot of moments may have felt.”
two cover albums and four EPs. She has garnered more than a quarter billion views on YouTube and earned over 14 million digital sales.
She has also become a mother, something that she says has changed her view of music.
“[I see] that my career is not all that matters,” she reveals. “I didn’t realize how career-minded I was, to the point almost nothing else mattered. My songwriting has had more essence since, with less judgment, less anxiety. Things that I worried about, I don’t anymore, and life as a musician has become more meaningful, fun. It’s harder to manage, of course, but I love it.”
She says that she also loves having her family with her when she performs.
“It’s hard when I’m away from them. I function to my highest potential more so when they’re close to me. But hey, I do my best always. I love being a mom. It’s the freaking most challenging, beautiful, awesome, horrible, inspiring experience ever, and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
“It’s a powerful thing when we can come out of our own trap and trust that we’re gonna be okay, and that we are all loved, always.”
Che’Nelle’s industry start came about through a path that may seem common today—social media—but which was in its early days when she posted her music to MySpace and caught the eye of Virgin Music in 2005. Social media, she says, is absolutely incredible for artists and has allowed many the freedom to put out exactly what they want, and to showcase who they really are.
“It has created a path for many more artists who may never have been given the opportunity, for whatever limiting reasons the industry has. At that time, I had no idea that my music would be noticed through an online platform; it kinda just happened. I’ll forever be grateful.”
Since that transformative moment, Che’Nelle has released seven studio albums, two compilation albums,
In May, Che’Nelle released a new single, “Everybody.” The inspiration, she says, was personal.
“I wanted to write a song that was easy to sing along with, with a fun melody but a message that also inspires people or that they can think about.
“Something that I guess I was learning when I wrote it was the awareness I grew to have about the times when we feel like our world is crumbling, when things are [terrible] in our lives and it literally feels ‘lonely,’ almost as if we are the only ones going through a tough time,” she explains. “But if we allow ourselves to pause a second and realize we don’t have to experience anything alone, or feel like we’re the only one doomed, we can reach out, allow others to be there for us or even make a shift and help or give to others when we’re down. It’s a powerful thing when we can come out of our own trap and trust that we’re gonna be okay, and that we are all loved, always.”
Bringing that spirit of love to the Club will mark the return for Che’Nelle to a holiday celebration she has enjoyed in the past.
“I did Fourth of July for years when I lived in the States—loads of gatherings and barbecues. It has usually been a day spent with friends and ‘some’ drinks (ha-ha). I moved back to Australia four years ago, so this will be the first Fourth of July I’ll be doing since then. I’m looking forward to it.”

With Japan’s top squash players set to square off at the Club this month, Member Yuga Koda reflects on his Club roots.
COURT
ADVANTAGE
It was at a summer camp in the US in the early 2000s that Yuga Koda got his first taste of squash. When he returned to Tokyo, his parents signed him up for kids’ squash classes at the Club. Although he was more into baseball at the time, playing on a local team, the call of the courts grew stronger and stronger. Today, Koda ranks in the top 20 among squash players in Japan and has been a regular participant in Club competitions. Ahead of this month’s TAC Premier Classic, he takes INTOUCH through his rally to the top.

What shifted your focus from baseball to squash? Although I grew up in Tokyo, I went to boarding school in the US for middle and high school. My middle school didn’t have access to squash courts, so I only played on breaks when in Japan. My high school had courts, so this is where I got more into squash. My junior year, I decided to only play squash. Our squash program was competitive—we finished second in the country my junior year—so I had plenty of good people to play with. I then went to a small liberal arts college in the US and played there for four years.
How are the Club’s squash facilities and community?
The Club squash community is great! Some of the players have known me since I was in elementary school. It’s not the biggest community, but it’s very close-knit. The facilities are the best in Tokyo, both in terms of quality and availability. When I graduated college and came back to Japan, I joined a club in Ebisu. During the three months I was a member, I wasn’t able to play a single time because all the courts were booked. After experiencing the serious lack of availability, I decided to come back to the Club as a Member on my own.
How do you prepare for competitions?
I used to be a lot more serious about preparation. I’d start doing a lot more cardio about a month before—a bunch of court sprints and ghosting. Right now, I honestly don’t do much. My priorities have shifted from winning to enjoying the game more. If anything, I stretch more than usual. Match play is a lot more intense, and injury is the main thing I want to avoid.
How was the Tokyo Squash Grade Tournament in March?
The tournament didn’t have points, but I played because my friend, a former pro player, was retiring from squash and this was his last tournament. I usually don’t play these kinds of tournaments, but the combination of it taking place at the Club and my friend’s retirement prompted me to do so. Win or lose, I was hoping it’d be a fun and memorable tournament for him.
What do you find most challenging about the Club tournaments?
Not just the Club tournament, but in any tournament, getting in the right mind-set is challenging. I know that I play better when I’m enjoying the time on court. But it’s not always rosy—you make mistakes, get annoyed with yourself, know you can be playing better, the ref makes a call you don’t agree with, etc.
Striking the right balance of fun and seriousness, and creating the atmosphere and maintaining the mind-set for optimal performance, is something that I’m working on to
this day. I experiment with my pre-match routine and other parts of my game, looking for the optimal point. If you know the answer, I’m all ears!
What competitions do you take part in outside the Club? I play five or six a year. Your ranking is based on your five best tournaments, so I essentially play the minimum. I’m part of a (not-very-active) team, and we try to align the tournaments we play in.
What are your expectations for this year’s TAC Premier Classic?
I’ll have to see the draw first, but my main goal is to play as well as I can. I play a lot better at the Club than I do anywhere else. The home crowd also helps.
What are your future squash goals?
I don’t have any concrete goals. My main goal was to break into the top 20 in Japan, which I’ve done. Now my goal is to continue to improve; I’ve been working on changing various aspects of my swing for about a year. If anything, I want to break into the top 16 in Japan, since I’d start in the main draw in the All-Japan tournament.

Storytime Magic
The Library’s weekly sessions of reading and crafts bring books to life for Club kids.
WORDS C BRYAN JONES
Building strong literacy starts at a young age and is more critical than ever in today’s world. Regular reading exposes children to new words and sentence structures essential for early literacy—even before they can read independently. Parents sharing stories with kids at bedtime is a wonderful start. Pairing that bonding time with group activities outside the home is an excellent way to put the imagination reading unleashes into action.
The Club Library gives young Members the opportunity to do just that during weekly Storytime. Held each Wednesday and Saturday, these small-group sessions nurture curiosity, discussion, creativity and social skills.
“Engaging young minds by making storytime interactive fosters their early literacy and cognitive skills development,” notes Lynne Hall, a research associate at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community’s Early Childhood Center, part of Indiana University Bloomington.
complete with pink ears, a golden horn, flowers and colorful butterflies for Club kids to make.
Eito’s mom, Rika Hirose, says she and dad Motoyasu love seeing their son enjoy such a relaxed atmosphere. “Not only does he develop a reading habit, but he also becomes interested in the topics covered and enjoys socializing with the friends he meets there.”
Rika adds, “We were surprised that each time had a different theme, and that the readings and crafts were tailored to that theme.”
One young Member who enjoys Storytime is Eito Hirose. The 7-year-old has been attending the Library gatherings almost every Wednesday since his family joined the Club last September.
“The librarians read to us and we also have craft time,” he explains.
He especially loves the Magic Tree House series by American author Mary Pope Osborne. The chapter books— aimed at early readers, typically ages 6 to 9—follow siblings Jack and Annie as they discover a treehouse that whisks them away on time-travel adventures to various historical periods and places.
“I love the stories because they’re magical.”
When it comes to crafting, a standout experience for Eito was making crowns after reading Paris Rosenthal’s Uni the Unicorn in the Real World. The Library’s Anna Mukai created an adorable unicorn-themed headpiece
Another recent theme was Greek Mythology Week in April, when the Library invited Members of all ages to explore the epic tales of Athena, Zeus, the Titans and more. Members were encouraged to dress as their favorite Greek deity and take part in special Storytime and crafting sessions.
Young readers are also treated from time to time by visits from authors, who read their own works to the kids. Guests have included Olly the Lone Red Squirrel author Larissa Soares, who shared her children’s story of friendship, kindness and acceptance, and educator Kinota Braithwaite, who read from his book Mio The Beautiful, a tale of growing up biracial in Japan.
Parents and grandparents are welcome to join, and for the Hirose family, these experiences have been an important part of their membership.
“We would like to tell other parents that relaxing and unwinding at the Club’s Storytime is very valuable for children. There aren’t many storytimes in Tokyo that are entirely in English. The conversations between the librarians and the children here are really lovely.”

“After 12 years spent between Norway and the US, returning to Tokyo feels like returning home, and the Club is part of that. Our kids have grown and are now finding their own Club life, enjoying the Gymnasium, study spaces and restaurants by themselves. This allows the parents to better benefit from the adult spaces as well. Like during our first assignment here, the Club has been a place to wind down and meet friends. We are the same family (plus one more member, Migo, our Portuguese Water Dog) returning to the same Club, yet now for slightly different experiences all around.”

Our decision was quick. What we love about Nihonbashi is that—as the starting point of the five major routes which radiate out nationwide—the area has been a crossroads of tradition and innovation since the Edo era.

The Labels We Live By
WORDS MONICA AKABANE ILLUSTRATION TANIA VICEDO
“I’m part of a speech club, Toastmasters, to make up for the fact I suck at writing! Ha-ha.” It’s the selfdeprecating joke I’ve stuck on myself anytime I mention my love for public speaking.
But somewhere along the way, “I suck at writing” stopped being a simple joke and instead became a defining label that I believed.
I didn’t always feel that way. In first grade, writing filled me with pride. After finishing my first research project, the jiyukenkyu summer homework that all Japanese kids are assigned, I was so proud I contacted a newspaper company and asked them to publish it. I still remember seeing my face on the front page and thinking, “I really am a great writer.”
That pride followed me when I moved from Japan to the US in third grade. My first writing assignment in America was to compose a letter. I chose to write to my aunt and uncle. A big reason for my family’s move was my uncle’s battle with cancer. He needed treatment in Los Angeles and my family came to support him.
I wrote about the resentment I felt at first, having to leave my friends behind in Tokyo, but then realized that I loved living with my aunt and uncle, ending the letter with “You’d better not die, Uncle Taku. I want us to be one big, happy family forever.”
Then came the peer review—coincidentally done by the love of my third-grade life. I was convinced that reading my writing would make him fall in love with me.
When I got my paper back, the first thing I noticed was a big red circle around the letters “LOL.” I had tried to address my letter to my aunt and uncle, but I had spelled “aunt” as “ant.”
Instead of news spreading about my amazing writing, stories of my embarrassing spelling mistake caught on. Lunchtime was spent alone after being told to “go back to my ant colony.”
What stung the most wasn’t the teasing. It was how no one cared about the story I shared. I felt ignored. As a third grader, I didn’t know how to process rejection, so I simplified the whole experience in my mind: “I suck at writing.”
That label stuck for years.
Even after joining Toastmasters, a club I love, I carried that nagging voice in my head: “I’m here because I suck at writing.”
Eventually, I decided to change that. I reached out to the same newspaper that had published my first-grade project and asked if I could help out. Now, I write for them in both English and Japanese.
Sometimes, I still hesitate before sharing my writing. I get nervous and hear that inner critic. But I tell myself, it’s part of the process of peeling off the label.
Maybe writing isn’t your label—it might be sports or leadership. Whatever it is, we’ve all had moments where a single mistake or negative comment turned into a personal belief about who we are.
The beauty of labels is that they’re not permanent. You can peel them off and choose what to put in their place.
Monica Akabane is a Member of the Club.
