"My Birthday Surprise" was created especially for Hidenori Tokunaga from Cocco May 18, 2009 |
| Yes, it was birthday time again, May 18th. Hide Tokunaga of Sapporo, had reached yet another major plateau in his life-age 25. Hide was a high flier, a born leader, and a man of many accomplishments. There was no doubt about it-Hide was a legend in his own mind. |

Syun, Kazuki and Arata had planned a big birthday bash for Hide this year. Hand-written invitations had been sent to all his friends. Fortunately for Syun, Kazuki and Arata, the job had been very easy. Only a few invitations had to be written. |
| Syun, Kazuki and Arata had spent a lot of time developing a theme for this special birthday party. It was Hide Tokunaga The ten keys to success in your life Obviously, the theme was a very popular one. The party room was packed. |

Syun, Kazuki and Arata started his success story by explaining that the path Hide had followed through life had been met with a series of closed doors. Over the years, judging from the shape of his beak, many of these doors had been slammed in his face. Despite these setbacks, Hide had still managed to become a success in Sapporo. It was evident that these ten keys had worked a miracle for Hide. |
| Hide and the rest of the party group were quiet when Syun, Kazuki and Arata announced the first key to his success. "Always be full of hot air." Hide had devoted much of his life to achieving this goal. Those who knew him agreed that he was definitely full of it. |

The second key of success was "Stay young." Hide maintained his youthful appearance by following a strict exercise program. His favorite activity seemed to be jogging to the refrigerator. Unfortunately, staying young was difficult after 25 birthday celebrations. In fact, lighting the candles on his birthday cake was considered a fire hazard for Hide and everyone else present at the party. |
| Believing that "No mountain is too hard to climb" was another component of the success formula for Hide. Anyone who had ever seen Hide demolish a mountain of ice cream topped with whipped cream and a cherry realized the truth of this statement. He could whittle it down in seconds. |

The fourth key was critical factor in making Hide the success he is. "Surround yourself with intelligent, responsible people." Hide always kept snapshots of his trusted friends in his wallet. Come to think of it, that was about all you could ever find in his wallet! |
| The excitement of the party had almost been too much for everyone. They decided to briefly interrupt this spell-binding "Success Story" and have Hide open his many gifts. Nobody had trouble buying Hide a present. After all, what can't you buy for a man who need everything? |

After watching Hide open his gifts, the anxious crowd was eager to hear the fifth key to his success. It was Don't be a horse's…behind. Unfortunately, Hide couldn't help himself. It was just his nature. |
| The saga of Hide continued. The next key to his success was "Enjoy the sweet things in life." There are many sweet things in life: the presence of a wonderful companion, adventure-filled vacations and lots of money. Whenever Hide wanted to enjoy sweet things, he went to his pantry. This was the only sauce of sweet things for Hide. |

The seventh key was vitally important for social climbers like Hide: "Don't forget from whence you came" On his long climb up the ladder of success, Hide never once forgot his roots. He was so very proud of all his ancestors. |
| To really be successful, you must "Only play games you can win." Talented individuals like Hide pride themselves on their athletic and business prowess. Very few adults had ever beaten Hide at any of his favorite games. Everybody knew he would have a temper tantrum if they did. |

"Blow your own horn" was certainly another vital part of his success formula. Everyone agreed that if Hide didn't blow his own horn, nobody would do it for him. In fact, he kept stacks of horns and whistles handy for all the important moments in his life. Hide would do almost anything to call attention to himself! |
| Hide always maintained that, to be successful, you must "Picture yourself as you want to be." Hide thought that once he was successful, his portrait would be hung in the homes of all of his friends. |
