Hello, I am from the city of Glasgow on the west coast of Scotland. Loch Lomond is not far from here and very beautiful. I found your rendition of Loch Lomond very poignant; thank you. Please, as a Scot, may I ask you to please, when you sing it, use the word 'tak' it's proper Scots to tak the high road and tak the low road. Also we have the British Isles compromising of Scotland, England and Wales... When we include Northern Ireland it is referred to as the United Kingdom. Southern Ireland however is not part of Britain at all but stands as a country in its own right. I would encourage you to listen to The Corrie's rendition of The wild mountain thyme. They also sing of another beautiful part of Scotland; Glencoe. A very sad part of our history. An Irish song "The Mountains of Mourne" is also worth listening to. I enjoyed your video. There are many lovely Irish Scots and Welsh songs and many of Robert Burn's poems which have been put to music e.g "Auld lang Syne" which as you know is sung worldwide at Hogmanay (New Year) Happy hunting and thank you.

Thank you for your response. GB, United Kingdom, England, etc., are all very confusing to me. Especially some folk songs are attributed to both as Irish and Scottish folk song like "Go Lassie Go". "Auld lang Syne" is used as a send-off song for graduating class from junior high or high school students in Japan. We all learned the song in Japanese therefore we thought it is a Japanese song. As a folk song fan, your English, Scottish, Irish and whales songs are fascinating and beautiful. I will be continuously discovering the folk songs from your land.

Tadanobu Asano has been one of my favorite Japanese actors for sometime. He got pudgy and older a little in this one. Although just finishing 3rd episodes, my eyes go to him whenever he is in the scene. He seems to be somewhat mysterious that I can't figure his Yabushige character out yet.

@@vampyreberry As far as films are concerned, I would like to rewatch the films of 1950's and 1960's that I enjoyed in my youth. But when I try to decide which one I watch, I hesitate. I think I became too old to decide anything, worrying about the disappointments and even not enjoying as much anymore. It is strange my tastes changed and I can't enjoy the today's movie much. But anytime I saw good movies, I felt young again. That's why it is so important you enjoy things whenever you can. Movies, music, books are great entertaining values for me especially I get older.
