On Prof. Matsusaka's last talk

I attended the final lecture given by prof. Matsusaka. I would like to share two of my impressions.

Firstly, I realized his charismatic power. There were countless numbers of people in the room (standing room only). Most of them took pictures while he gave a lecture. These bespoke his charisma. I should have taken pictures like them.

Secondly, I was truly attracted by his English. Actually, I had attended his lecture back at Senshu university, however, he delivered in Japanese at that time. So this was the first time for me to hear him conduct his lecture in English. As might be expected it was near perfect. If I closed my eyes, I thought the speaker was a native English speaker.

I had a great time. I want to rethink about my own pronunciation. (rain)
