Hello Gabriela, long time no see, I was soooo busy with Flickr because you can post there more pictures at the same day, and also because of the people from the area where I live who all operate on Flickr. But I got homesick to the beauty of the Aminus3-layout so I went back, keeping my Flickr account also alive. Very peaceful picture indeed. The bird looks like a European bird which we call "spotted fly-catcher", I see it's one indeed and I'm surprised that he also lives that far away in Japan!

@Illuci: So nice to hear from you again after such a long time! I thought this bird was a "pied-wagtail" just because it was constantly wagging that tail. There were plenty of them in the area.( I was once on Flickr, but I gave it up because I did not like it. The layout is not to my taste.)
I'm sure ot's one, my birdsbook tells that there are regional differences and the map with its living area stretches into Siberia, where the map stops, I can imagine the species is also at home with you. Within Europe there are also small differences. If you read about the studies by Darwin you see how the same species develops small differences, dependent on the natural conditions of the living area.
