All the Way from Japan

I have no idea who these people are and you can bet they don't have a clue who I am, but man, I have never crushed so hard on anything Japanese before I stumbled onto this site.  I love me some Hare Tokidoki Haru {+}.  The moments he captures on camera are so candid and simple and precious.  For the past year, every time I saw Japanese letters appear in my Google Reader, my eyes have lit up.  I can't get enough of his work.

Most of the shots on his site are centered around these two boys.  Since Google translates the captions of his sweet photos like "ほら、はるみながゆくよ!" to "Look, everyone will die much!", I'm pretty much stuck in the dark about the artist's commentary.  Luckily, the images are visually engaging enough that I'm perfectly content soaking in the happiness caught through his lens.  All the while, of course, I'm wistfully wondering if my future children will be anywhere near this darling, happy, or cherubic.
