The Moon in a Five Yen Coin



     Amane Kaoru once said that you can fit the moon in a five yen coin, and guess what, I tried it one night and it really does! I guess, that is how faith also works. You just have to believe that some things, no matter how impossible they may seem to be, can actually happen. The moon may seem too big for the five yen coin, but it is just a matter of looking at it. It is actually not the size of the moon that makes it possible to fit in the coin, it is actually how you are looking at it.

     Amane Kaoru is a character played by actress Sawajiri Erika in the Japanese drama, Taiyou no Uta (Song of the Sun) shown in 2006. Amane has an incurable disease known as XP or Xeroderma Pigementosum, a skin condition that does not allow her any form of exposure to the sun because her skin easily burns. Amane, a struggling musician who sings on the street at night, meets Fujishiro Koki, played by actor Yamada Takayuki, a young man who had almost forgotten his passion for music. At one point in the series, even though it is totally impossible for Amane to go out in broad daylight because of her condition, Fujishiro made it possible! He made her a specialized pink outfit, which awkwardly looks like a fusion of an astronaut suit and a power rangers uniform, that she can wear outside. And that is not all, he made several of these costume for himself and their friends so they can all go out together in that same outfit without Amane totally feeling like a freak.

     If there is a will, there is a way. If there is faith, then nothing is impossible. No matter what kind of moon you are faced with right now, remember, nothing is too big for a five yen coin!
