    As an 84–yr-old, 3rd generation Japanese American, a Sansei; I was especially thankful that PM Kishida’s family had such a positive experience living in Queens, NY and for his early in his keynote speech to the US Congress expression of gratitude to Queens! All positive after that!

    Abridged: America you are great. Japan appreciates you, Japan loves you, Japan is a little worried about your mental health and just wanted to check in. Please don't go crazy.

    Beside the brilliant speech pledging alliance to the US, he praised the US so well. And not to mention, the amount of times the audience stood up, applauded, and sat down. The response from the audience was warm and welcoming.
