　Edito's Note　
　There are too much gloomy news these days. Bullying, suicide, bid rigging… It seems countless. That's said, there are many people who try to live with their full strength in the fields of figure skating, volley ball, golf and so on. The marathon runner Naoko Takahashi known as Q-chan was in third place, but she says she never give up the Beijing Olympics for this only one loss. There will be many fans who are looking forward to seeing her smiling face again. That's the very thought we should cherish now. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 (K.K)
