What is your favorite character in the movie?

What characters do you like the most?
I like Joliet Jake, one of the blues brothers. His silly and funny acts attract me. He plays a frivolous man in earnest.

Anyway, this movie must have cost a lot of money foolishly: so many cars are wrecked and the cast are pretty gorgeoous...

About "Blues Brothers"

It's interesting movie. I was exited in actions and songs, but I couldn't understand the detail of the story. I want to know why the woman wanted to kill the brothers and the relation between them.

Blues Brothers

I can't understant why the women killed the brothers.
And,why the brothers need the money?
This movie was very interesting, but I can't understand them.

Please tell me!

Blues Brothers was really interesting.But, I can't understand why they were doing such things at all.If you could understand the story,please tell me outline.

About The Blues Brothers

It was my first time to see a foreign film without subtitles and to tell the truth it was difficult for me to understand the import of a story. But action scene and music were really exciting. And I was surprised at the cast. I know James Brown, Ray Charles and Twiggy. And I looked over about cast, Steven Spielberg was appeared as a clerk in charge of tax payment! I have a dim remembrance the scene.

Why a woman allowed the Blues Brothers?

I want to know why a woman stopped killing the Blues Brothers.At first,she tried to kill them.But she allowed them in the end and kissed one brother.I couldn't catch what they said.
Please tell me about it.

The Brues Brothers

I like the movie very much.
The action, music, and dance were very exciting and wonderful!!
I like the song whose name is "everybody needs somebody".
Is the woman who tried to kill the brothers Jake's former girlfriend?

I want to watch the movie once more.

Was Twiggy in the movie?

I found Twiggy in a credit roll. I think she appeared in the scene before blues brothers go to the concert hall. Is she the same person to Twiggy who is a world-famous model ? I don't know whether she also has an acting career or not.

Did you recognize Steven Spielberg in the movie?

Yes, believe it or not, Steven Spielberg didn't direct this film, but he did play a bit part. Can anyone tell me what part Steven Spielberg played in The Blues Brothers?

About "The Blues Brothers"

This movie is extremely fun. I was surprised that a lot of famous musician acted as key persons, such as Ray Charles (as a music shop clerk) and James Brown (as a Reverend) and so on. Although I could hardly understand performers' English, I could feel what they're trying to say, so I enjoyed several funny scenes. Watching movies with no Japanese subtitle inspires me to listen to English carefully. I really want to watch sequels to this movie.

About The Blues Brothers

I have never seen the movie.
It was very excited me.When I saw Ray Charles I was so surprised.The music of using this movie was interesting and I enjoyed it. But I couldn't understand completely what they said.So I will try to understand what they say as fully as possible.
I would like to see the movie quickly.

I'm looking forward to the continuation of the movie.

Reaction to "The Blues Brothers"

I like this movie very much. My favorite scene is a dramatic car chase. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Songs and Dances were exciting too.
I pay attention to a woman who is after the blues brothers. I'm looking forward to her large-scale attacks.
I want to see more to come soon!

movie "The Blues Brothers"

I was interested in this movie very much because many musics are used in it. I wanted to play the piano or trumpet when I wacthed the movie.

actions really delighted me.

My Winter Vacation

In Winter vacation,I got a driver's licence.Because I rarely went to motor school in the first half, the second half was very busy .I have to take writing exam in my home town.So winter vacaton was good chance.when I finished the exam,I was disturbed about result because I worry answer in 6 question.But I succeeded the exam.For this effort,I finaly got a driver's licence.
I'm sorry that I have no pictures.

My new year without holidays

In winter vacation, I went to my hometown because my family moved to new house.
First, I packed up everything in old house. Whenever I found dear thing, my hands which had been working since then are completely dead.
Next work, taking them to new house is the most hard. A refrigerator landed on my father's foot, and my mother had a muscular pain, besides all this, because of the cold and dry air, I had cought and been suffering a bad cold.
At last, we did cleaning and adjustment. Of course, according Japanese tradition, we were purified our house . It's like cleaning spirits. Adjustments had been kept on since I returned to Hirosaki, and maybe have been keeping even now.
In conclusion, this vacation spent for moving, not for rest, in addition, it leaved fatigue and cold to my body and pushed in my bed...

New Year's Eve

How did you spend this New Year's Eve? I went to a shrine with my friends to pray to Gods at the beginning of the New Year. 5 hours before that, I practiced my club activity, the Iai. Of course nobody came doing the Iai because of eve. However, I could concentrate my mind on drawing my sword, and it's a meaningful moment. In a kendo hall, it's cold and quiet. I thought that such a odd New Year's Eve was not bad.
Instead of attendances at practices of winter vacation, thesedays I'm tending to absent myself from training...

The Iai club of Hirosaki Univ.

My winter vacation.

It was too short for me a winter vacation. First, I participated in a four-days intensive course. We went to APPI ski resort in Iwate prefecture. This is a picture which I took at APPI. It was my first time to snowboarding so I fell over many times. And I got harsh muscular pain. But I enjoyed not only snowboarding but also delicious meal and hot spring in a hotel. I want to join it again.

http://www.appi.co.jp/h_winter_appi/index.html

I went straight home when I came back to Hirosaki from intensive course. I usually go home by a sleeper express and it takes about ten hours. On New Year's Day, I visited a shrine with my friends who were same high school. I thought of my high school days with nostalgia.

Perfaista

Look at this photo. It's "perfaista". The size of this perfait is about 30cm across in a diameter and 20cm height. It is well-known to young people in Aomori.

I ate it with my four friends on New Year's Day. It was so big that we got tired of it. But we could eat it completely.

You can eat it at "La Fonte" which is in a commercial building at Aomori station. I recommend you to eat it with large number of people.

winter vacation

I had a good time during winter vacation.

First, I joined in the concert of brass band club on December 28. A lot of people came to listen to our music and enjoyed our concert, so I was very happy.

Second, I saw my friends in elementary school days since the year before last. We talked many things, so it was a lot of fun.

Finally, I paid a visit to a shrine on New Year's Day. I drew a fortune slip,but it's not so well.

I very much enjoyed winter vacation.

My winter vacation

On January 2, I came to hirosaki with my mother by car.
We enjoyed shopping then.
We went to an accessory boutique near the Hirosaki station. The boutique's name is "Daddy's".

A strange Christmas tree

There is a superstition in Japan that the cause of earthquake is an eel. People of former days thought eel has magical power, I would say. In our time, we recoginize the existence of electric eel. So, I found news about electric eel.

KAKAMIGAHARA, Gifu -- An aquarium filled with exotic fish here is using an electric eel to power lights on a Christmas tree. Each time the electric eel at the Aqua Toto Gifu aquarium touches a copper wire in its tank, it sends power that lights up globes decking a Christmas tree.

It may be that we can use ell power generation in the future.

Spoils ending of ''I Am Legend''

An American actor Will Smith came to Japan in December 4 to promote his new movie ''I Am Legend’’. In a press interview, he spoiled ending of the movie. According to Reuters, Akiva Goldsman who is a co-producer and co-screenwriter of the movie shouted ''Don’t give away the ending! ’’. And the press handlers asked the press to keep the ending secret. The Mainichi Newspaper says it may be a reaction against his lonely filming. Because his role is the last person on the earth. This happening may reduce viewers and box-office profits.The movie is scheduled for release in both Japan and the United States in December 14, 2007.

Blogging a news story: Darfur

I said you could write about any kind of story for your own blog entries, but for my own I thought I'd write about an ongoing story that is simply horrific. The situation in Darfur is one of the world's worst conflict situations, and even threatens to spread outside Sudan to neighboring Chad. It is a situation that is now involving the UN Security Council, NATO, the African Union, the Arab League and other international organizations. There is supposed to be intervention to stop ongoing genocide, but the logistical and political problems are very serious.

According to Jennie Matthew writing from Khartoum:

The head of the UN peacekeeping force in Sudan's Darfur region has highlighted an urgent need for helicopters, saying the global community must donate them or the entire mission must be reviewed.

The international force, set to number 26 000, will formally replace a small African Union mission on January 1, but still lacks six combat and 18 transport helicopters, vital to operate in a war-torn Sudanese area the size of Texas.

She quotes the head of the African Union force on the ground as saying:

"The international community has got its back to the wall and some are asking 'really is it impossible for the entire international community to mobilise 24 helicopters,'"

She also notes that the UN blamed the Sudanese government for the problems:

On Tuesday, the head of UN peacekeeping, Jean-Marie Guehenno, complained that Sudanese government red tape and lack of resources are delaying the deployment of the peacekeepers

But Reuters News said that the Sudanese government blamed the UN itself for the delays:

SUNA [Sudan's state news agency] quoted senior foreign ministry official Suraj el-Din Hamid as saying President Omar Hassan al-Bashir had already issued directives to allocate all the land the mission needed, and that the United Nations had delayed meetings in New York to discuss the deployment twice in two weeks.

"The problems in dealing with the United Nations on this peacekeeping operation reflects the ability of the peacekeeping unit to direct this mission," Hamid said.

Meanwhile China threatened one of the major rebel groups fighting the Sudanese government. The Justice and Equality Movement, an Islamist group fighting against Arab domination of the Sudan, had said that Chinese troops were only going to Sudan to protect Chinese investments, and said that they would specifically target Chinese troops among any United Nations forces.

According to a report on a South African website:

China on Wednesday fired back at a rebel group's threats against its peacekeepers in Darfur, saying Beijing was committed to stabilising the troubled Sudanese region and urged the opposition to join in peace talks.

. . .

Rebels in the Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement have warned that they could target Chinese troops because Beijing supplies military and economic support to Sudan's government.

The movement, which has boycotted peace talks, claims the Chinese were sent to protect Beijing's investments in the oil industry. Last month, its fighters attacked the Chinese-run Defra oil field in neighbouring Kordofan region and abducted two foreign workers.

I hope you will take an interest in this important, ongoing story and learn something of the background to this conflict. If Japan is really going to ask for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and take a more important role in international affairs, people will have to learn more about what is going on in the outside world.

More information is available at the Save Darfur website, among other places.

Iai Activity

On this past weekend, I was absorbed in taking lessons the Iai. Iai means drawing a sword. We probably learn samurai-soul through Iai. Although I don't know about samurai-soul clearly, I believe that we can get something important mind. The least I do... I do.

My Weekend

I watched 3 DVDs on saturday and Sunday. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is the First one. I've been love its original story series since I was an elementary school child. So I really had wanted to go to cinema, but I couldn't. However, I enjoied the movie enough in my room and soon I hope to watch the next one. Next, I watched "OUTBREAK" for my report of biohazard measures class. It showed me terror of virus and terror of endless report. After that, I watched the last one, "The Great Dictator" which made by Charlie Chaplin. It was funny and interesting, but it made me think, and cry a little at last. Totally, I think I had a good time this weekend.

My weekend

I had a futsal game last week. All participation teams belong to Hirosaki university. Our team won the all league match. In second game in league match, I got a goal with nice pass from team mate. Although we were top in the league, we lost in second round in tournament.

My holidays

I spent my holidays reading ''HANS ANDERSON'S FAILY TALES''. Andersenian stories are familiar to us, for example ''The Emperor's New Cloths'', ''Thumbelina'',''The Little Marmaid'' and so on. There are some difference between the original and Japanese version. So it was very interesting.

My three consecutive holidays

Three consecutive holidays was short for me because I had a part-time job in a preparatory school on Friday and Saturday. I usually teach junior high school students social studies or English. But sometimes I can't answer questions from students. So I want to be able to answer any question. And I had to clean my room and do a lot of washing on Sunday because my room was so much stuff scattered about that I couldn't find anywhere to sit. It took about half a day. That was my holidays.

But many young people in Aomori feel shame at using Tsugaru dialect. On the contrary, people who speak in Kansai dialect don't feel shame. I want to research what makes the difference of the two.

Humanities

I major in humanities. In special, I'm interested in Asian history and literature. A department of humanities in Hirosaki University has some courses. I want to enter Asian culture course next year.

Sukayu has a big bathtub which 100 people can take a bath. After a short break in the hot spring, I left for home. This is one of the best memories of my summer vacation.

A sunset glow

I took the picture when I was a highschool student.
I took it on the way to go shopping. It was very beautiful!! I have never seen such a beautiful sky.

Movie

Pure love movies are in fashion in Japan for some years. This boom was sparked by Winter Sonata, a korean TV drama. Recently, Socrates in Love attracted 6.2million viewers. According to the survey of The Daily Yomiuri, pure love movies hold the top three of box office profits of Japanese movie in 2005. We can see all the rage of pure love movies from these data. One Korean cultural critic says that a savage social atmosphere of late such as terrorism and the Iraq War is the reason behind the boom of pure love movie in Japan. And he says a depression in these years influence too. These things show that the boom of pure love movie in Japan is likely to continue for a while.

Word processor

Word processor are useful, but sometimes handwriting is better than writing by a word processor. First, every time we use a word processor, we can write beautiful and well-balanced characters. Therefore many univercity students use them to write an assignment. Office workers also use them to make a lot of documents. Word processor are necessaries at many schools, offices and so on. On the other hand, characters of word processors occasionally give us serious impression. For example, a letter written by a word processor is not so friendly. Against that, a handwriting letter give us a good impression. Thus, word processor are convenient, however, in some cases we cannot use them to write.

Advertising

Recentry, biased reports which are sent by huge media has been growing up as effective advertising.
Advertising is devided into positive advertising and nagative advertising.
Positive advertising, as you think, emphasize good aspect of the thing or the man.
On the other hand,nagative advertising emphasize bad image to warn people about homicide, marchandise camouflage, corruption case, and so on.
Ofcourse, it is important to listen to werning and prepare for danger.
But the report become heater and heater, stricter and stricter we drive the persons concerned.
For example, in 2005, a news about structural document camouflage case had been overheated, and the accused's wife leaped to death. If the media had not advertised supposition or private things about the accused, she would not sufferd such.
Moreover, especially negative advertising is apt to be creeped in mind of the masses compared to positive advertising.
Because it is advertised as if it is real by news program and news paper, not entertainment program and magazin.
In conclusion, it is important for us to collect reliable information and judge correct thing by myself, not rely on advertising.

Advertising

There is various advertising around us.Advertisements tell us some information in a moment,so they are very characteristic.For example,we get some leaflets with the newspapers in the morning.Most of them have big letters and colorful pictures to tell the information with an impact.An impact is important to impress the information.Some good advertising shows us popular TV stars,unique characters,attractive designs,and so on.We often make our images of the information to see them.Advertising also gives us imagination,so we can enjoy that of characteristics.

Advertising

Advertising is combined art.
We can know various informations through ads. It's because not only we can read words, but also we can understand what ads is saying. I mean ads have an implied information.
What is the implied information? That isn't words informations but color, illustrations and so on. In other words, the implied information stimulate our imagination. There are good examples about this. Look at picture(1) and (2). You surely know which is the more impressive of the two.
Sentences can convey informations accurately but usually have an only meaning. That is, from one sentence we perceive one restricted information which includes no room to inflate our imagination. So, designers of ads consider how to tell these implied informations. They try to produce fresh designs to draw our attention by using color, illustrations and so on.
In conclusion, advertising is an artwork which consists of whole artistic elements like a tactful phrase, elegant composition, effective color selection, significant illustrations and so on.
