you may well ask what has Samuel Beckett got to do with Candy and Dear? well to be perfectly honest with you - Nothing!..but then what has Candy and Dear got to do with Japan? again nothing ..its just JP’s fill in post until something more wholesome & relevant comes along (like snack food)…until then I will explore the influence of Samuel Beckett and his much loved and driven deux-chevaux on Japan.

just pausing for a moment, while were on the subject of micro-cars, I was really stopped in my tracks,that is “hit-the-anchors”, when I first clapped eyes on this little oddity.

we were on our way up to Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji in January no less! - a hell of a time for sightseeing doncha-know? when all a sudden there it was, a black WillVi…broken down,driver waving frantically…well what could one do?…All-for-one-One-for-All..I must say I admired Shinji’s (the driver) Spirit..true Motoring Kintama…..?

*better get off this anecdote and back on the page*
