Today's word is scan. This is a verb that means to quickly read or look at something, usually to find a specific piece of information. Maybe you're scanning a form to find the date that it was written or scanning a page from a book to find out where the story takes place.

皆さんは、日本のミュージシャンの「松任谷由実」さんを知っていますか？
私が高校生の頃から好きな歌手です。
今流れている曲も松任谷由実さんの曲で私がピアノで弾いています。
彼女は「ユーミン」と呼ばれていて、今年デビュー50周年を迎えたベテランのミュージシャンです。
シンガソングライターで、自分で詩を書き、作曲し、歌っています。
去年50周年記念で出したアルバムは売り上げ1位を獲得し、
１９７０年代、８０年代、９０年代、２０００年代、2010年代、２０２０年代の六つの年代でアルバムの売り上げ１位を記録しました。
これは日本で初めての記録です。
今日はユーミンさん曲の中の一つの詩を紹介します。

海を見ていた午後

あなたを思い出す この店に来るたび
坂を上って きょうもひとり来てしまった
山手のドルフィンは静かなレストラン
晴れた午後には 遠く三浦岬も見える
ソーダ水の中を 貨物船がとおる
小さなアワも恋のように消えていった

The afternoon I saw the sea
When I come to this store, I remember you
Today I came alone going up the hill2
The Yamate dolphin is a quiet restaurant
On the sunny afternoons, the Miura cape is seen in the distance
A cargo ship crosses the soda water
A small bubble faded like love
