  Hello everyone! I'm Yuka. Do you know "JABBERLOOP"? It is my favorite jazz band. There are 5 members in the band. The musics which they make are very cool, so I love them very much. It is difficult for me to choose one song which I recommend, because I have many favorite their songs. But, the song which I especially like is "AREA51". It is so good. I want you to listen to it. And I respect Kishimoto Ryo who is in charge of keyboard in this band. His technique is wonderful. I yearn for him and want to play the keyboard like him. In addition to, he has another band. The band name is "fox capture plan". There are 3 members in the band. It is also jazz band, and, their musics are excellent too.

Simon's Cat

 "Simon's Cat" is a short animation which based on the real life of Simon Tofield, an animator and whom made this video. It is said that he has four cats and represent his own daily life with them in those videos.

 All his works are very funny and comical. In addition... the cat is so cute!!!

 By the way, you might have a experience which is similar to this video or can understand the details of this cat (especially if you have or had cats). This video give a lively description of cat behavior, so we are able to familiar with their actions, I think.

 I have cats and love them. Also I love this video. Let's watch another videos if you've been interested in "Simon's cat".

Fireworks

 Have you ever seen fireworks? I think most of you have seen it.
 I took this picture at Aomori nebuta festival in this summer. I saw so many beautiful fireworks with my friends. In the last day of nebuta festival, about 10000 fireworks were shot off. They were colorful and there were many kinds of shapes. For example, heart, Saturn, and poke-mon. And some fireworks were very very big. Everyone was moved by such marvelous fireworkas. It is worth seeing.
 How about going to Aomori nebuta festival and seeing it next summer?

Do you know “yuru-kyara”?

 Hello! I'm Chika.
 This character is Kumamon.
  “Yuru-kyara” is loose character. The word of “yuru-kyara” was devised by Jun Miura who is cartoonist and essayist. These characters are used by local government to advertise information about autonomous area, and by company to advertise corporate identity. There are three articles about loose character. First, loose characters have powerful messages that is full of love to a hometown. Second, their behavior is uncertain and unique. Third, they have a lovable loose point.
  Loose characters work hard for their hometown.

My cat

Please look at this picture. This is my cat. I will introduce my cat for you. It's name is Botan. It is a she-cat. Why is it called Botan? Because, it relate to its birthday. Botan was born on Novenber. Novenver's bitrhflower is a peony. Peonys is called Botan in japan. So it was named Botan after a peony. Botan make our family happy all time. I think Botan is somehow different from other cats. It is more affable than other cats. When I met Botan at the beginning. Botan came to beside me to be petted. I have never seen that cats has so friendly character. Botan is a very friendly cat!
 Cats give a lot of things to us. A lot of things are relax feelings, kind minds and so on. Maybe cats bring tiredness to us. On the whole, It is interesting to live with cats. So we must cherish our cats.

LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHER

My brother's hobby is taking photos. I just know that.

I asked him to show them, he was willing to.

He has a nice digital camera. He takes this camera everywhere.

So his picture library has hundreds of pictures.

Every morning, he takes a picture of sky.

This picture is today's sky of Aomori(11/20). It was nice weather today.

He also likes taking pictures of long time exposure (長時間露光) at night.

These pics are beautiful and fantastic.

I am healed just by looking them now.

My favorite movie

 Do know the American movie "Stand by me"?
It was revealed in 1986.
I introduce you to this movie briefly.
Four American boys in small town  are main role.
In one summer of 1950th,they went to advanture to find a corpse because they think that if they find a corpse, they become heros of their town.
They take over various troubles,and they grow up to adult.
We"ll be expressed with four boy"s friendship.
Also the main tune of this movie is very good.

Coffee is good.

I drink coffee everyday.I wake up whenever I drink coffee.

When I study, I drink a cup of coffee.

Coffee is my best friend.

Coffee makes me calm down whenever I feel nervous.

But I can`t drink black coffee. I always take sugar and milk in coffee.

I often drink canned coffee. My favorite canned coffee is ''BOSS zeitaku bitou''.

Zeitaku is luxurious and Bitou is a little sugar in English.

It is delicious and good flavor.

My favorite picture

What do you think about this picture?
You may think that it looks like “Doraemon”. But it’s nose is very long, and it has some fingers. This picture was taken in the Chinese amusement park.　Chinese people disregarded Japanese copyright and　imitated Doraemon’s figure without permission. But Chinese people said that “It’s not a Doraemon”. So, Japanese people were  angried. I thought that Chinese had to confess their behavior and say sorry to Japan. But I like this character because I think it's cuter than Doraemon. And Japan and Chine should cooperate with each other.

The coffee shop

I went to the coffee shop ”zilch” last saturday.
I went there with my friends after practicing saxhone for the first time.
It was very nice coffee shop.
I ate lunch,tea, apple cake on this picture.
They are very delisious!
I want to there again.

Free topic

I'm sorry for writing my blog so late.
I want to write about my club activity, soft tennis.

Soft tennis is played by all ages, so it is called the lifelong sport.
There are two positions in soft tennis, net side players and end line players.
Net side players are called zenei and end line players are called kouei in Japanese.

I'm a net side player, so I practice volleying and smashing
To be a good player, I'm going to practice hard.

My pet

  Today, I introduce my pet, Myao. As you can see, she is a cat. This photo is taken in December 1st, 2013. The day was special day because she became a member of my family. Those days, I was always irritated because of studying for an examination. When my parents saw it, they decided to start to have a cat for me. All of my family have loved her since then. Thanks of Myao and my parents, I passed the examination.

My favorite street

   
     This is a street near my high school, called "daigaku do-ri". This street is a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing and chosen as "new Tokyo 100 view", "the 10th elections of environmental color" and "Japanese roadside tree 100 view". It is one of the "streets" which just represents Tokyo or Japan.
     Hirosaki is famous for a cherry blossom too, so when you visit, it may be interesting even if it compares with the cherry tree of Hirosaki.

Thank you.

Innsbruck

   This picture is Innsbruck, Austria. Innsbruck is one of the most favorite city. This is because I lived with local families when I was a junior high school student. Innsbruck is surrounded by the Alps, so you can see the beautiful mountains of Alps. And Swarovski which famous for glasswork has its head office in Innsbruck. The theme park of Swarovski stands in the suburbs. But my recommendation is a trekking tour in the Alps. If you see the Alps nearby, you are impressed by the beauty of the mountains and nature. In short there are a lot of sights in Innsbruck. It's worth going to Innsbruck. Thank you.

Dolphin

Dolphin is loved by many people. They are very intelligent mammals, so I like them. They communicate with companions by supersonic waves.  They can understand what human beings say,so they are often used for dolphin show in aquarium. Their charming face, cool streamlined body and high jumping attract a large audience. Not only kids but also adults enjoy dolphin show. In addition, they are used for animal weapons and treatments. In the american navy, they detect underwater mines and rescue a diver. For animal therapy, they have potential to treat a mental illness. To sum up, they are good friends for human.

The salesclerk

Hello. I'm Hikaru. 

I'll talk about this guy. He is always sitting the bench. Moreover, he never move. But he welcome to the certain hamburger shop in a 24-hour system. We are easy to go into there because he is smiling if it's rainy day or midnight. So I'd like to make a friend with him and appreciate him. But he is so quiet. I believe that he will responds to my calling someday.

Towada Art Center

  Hi! I'm Mako Maita. I'm from Towada City in Aomori. Today, I would like to introduce the art museum in Towada.

Towada Art Center is the center of this project. The hose in this picture is "Flower Hose". It is exhibited outdoors so we can always see it.　There are various works of art in parts of Towada. If you visit Towada, what about looking for various works of art?

A mobile strap of my friend

  This is a mobile strap of my high school friend. Seeing fron the side, it looks like a ladybug, but it has a nose like a pig. I named this strange character Jorokichi. My friend cherished it. I think it was her trademark. However, we often played throwing it or hiding it during break time. This character was popular among my friends very much. I want to meet with my high school friends and Jorokichi again someday.
  Thank you.

My memorable thing

  This toy isn`t my toy,but there is in my room in Akita.
Whoes`s it?
It is a host family`s toy.
  My family was host family and a girl stayed at my house when I was  second grade high school student.
Her name was Daniela.
She came from Australia and was a senior who is one year older.
We were able to make a lot of great memories.
However most impressive thing was a well-chosen "good bye".
I perceive this her toy be left when I cleaned a room where she used in my house after she came back to her county.
It wasn`t her thing left behind,surprisingly,it was her last present for us!
It means "Don`t forget me!"
  Now we exchange letters.
I want to meet her someday.
If we meet again,then I`m going to prepare more nice "good bye".

Pocky Day

 November 11^th is called “Pocky Day” in Japan. I was in the cafeteria with Hiromi on that day. She said, “I want to eat Pocky. Let’s share Pocky.” I could not refuse her request because she is older than me. We went to the convenience store and I bought two boxes of Pocky. One was chocolate flavored and the other was strawberry flavored. Afterwards we went back to the cafeteria to have our Pocky, but when we opened the boxes she suddenly broke all of my Pocky on purpose! I was so surprised and said “Oh no! My Pocky!” I was very sad. She looked amused. I will never forget what she did to me. Someday I will pay her back…

My old high school

 This picture is my old high school, Sendai First High School.
 The high school was　a boys’school.  So, there had been odd custom peculiar to boys’school.
 For example, when fresh man begins to give a speech in first meeting of the whole school, everyone begin to clap to interrupt the speech.
 But, I liked this school very much.
Thank you.

My school

  This picture is my old school,Yamategakuin. Yamategakuin is a high school in Yokohama.The high school has 1600 students. An adjusted deviation is not very high,but not very low. Most of the students go to this school by train of Keihin Touhoku Line.In autumn,Yamate Festival is held,and many people come to this festival.This school has memories for me.In the spring vacation I will go to see teachers who was very good to me.

A recommendatory place in Ibaraki

   Hello, I'm Akine. I'm from Ibaraki. So, I want to write about a recommendatory place in there.
   Please look at this picture.There is "Hitachinaka kaihin koen" in Ibaraki. This picture was taken at the beginning of  May. And this flowers are Nemophira. Many flowersn bloom all around in each season. So, we can feel the four season if we go there. Moreover there has been printed in a book that is "A superb view that we want to go once before dying." The day was cloudy but that view is so still more wonderful when it is sunny. I think there is worth visiting. Do go there once! Thank you.

What day it is 11/18？

 
  Hi, I'm Michiru.Do you know what day it's November 18th? It's ''Yukimi Daifuku's day.'' It's my favorite ice cream. You can eat easily and taste is very nice because rich milk ice cream is in the soft rice cake. These days, it's popular among foreign people.
  I want to explain the origin the day. If you open the package and turn it portrait, you can see the pick and these ice cream like the number of 18. Now you understand don't you？ So, it's ''II .18''(良い18) just means good Yukimi Daifuku's day!! I want you to eat it with warming yourself in a ''Kotatsu'' in this winter! Please give it a try!
Thank you!

My birthday presents

This is my birthday presents. My friends gave them to me last month. I like Moomin very much, so they selected them. The left is a candle stand. It is displayed at the entrance now. The right is plate. I often use it to dish up meals. Every character is so cute that I want to look at them all the time!

   Three years later, a Japan team will participate in "WBC". "WBC" means World Baseball Classic. The meeting is an international meeting. A Japan team captured the first meeting. So I wish they capture next meeting. He will be selected the team. I cheer him up and believe that he takes part in the meeting.

Because of its characteristic, it is loved by many people, and its goods like the picture are often released. You can't miss its great energy.

Dislocation

   This picture is when I entered hospital because of dislocation ,abnormal location between bone and bone.
My shoulder has been dislocated several times.  When I was child, my shoulder was dislocated when I played tennis or basketball or valleyball . Then in this year in April , my shoulder was dislocated again, so I went to hospital . My doctor said that my shoulder  tend to dislocate and you need operation. In August, I entered hospital and underwent an operation.  It is hard  for me,but I learned how patients in hospital feel and I think it is important  to be a good doctor.
    Now, I can move my shoulder almost freely and through this experience, I am interested in orthopedic.
                                                                     

about my favorite histrical personage

   It is my favorite histrical personage`s picture. He is Onono-Takamura. He is a  nobleman and a literary man in the Heian period.
   He has a lot of interesting episode. For example, He was a member of kentohshi(遣唐使)(people who go to China and learn to Chinese culture and study). But he couldn`t get along with one of the member. So he boycotted the travel. Japanese emperor got angry, and he was exiled to Oki-island. But he was forgiven and backed.
   It is said that he sometimes went to hell from a well and helped the Great King Yama(閻魔大王).
I think it is the most unique episode of him.
   He is deified in a temple in Kyoto. It is the Rikudohchinnohji temple(六道珍皇寺). There is a well that Takamura used to go to hell. If you feel interested in it and have a free time, you should visit there.

The picture I took

   This picture was taken at the top of Iwaki mountain in summer vacation.

I climbed the mountain on the last day of summer vacation.
   At first, I thought climbing the mountain is not so hard.but as I  climbed it, the way became steeper and steeper than the beginning. So I was very tired and thirsty when I arrived at the top of mountain, however the view from the top was very beautiful and it let me forget my fatigue.
If I have a chance, I would like to climb other mountain. Thank you!

A picture describe about it

Hello, I’m Rika. Please look at these pictures. I baked these bread. I started living by myself this spring. And I also started cooking. Because I have free time, I bake bread these days. I will talk to it.

 The reason I do it is my friend’s father baked bread and my friend let me eat it. I was surprised how delicious handmade bread is! So I thought that I wanted to do it, too. Then I started because I had a free time to become a university student.

 I like kneading a dough the best of all the progress of the work. These days, I tried again and again, so I could make a bread like animals a half-melon shaped bun. I want to do it continually.

A picture describe it

  Hi! I'm Yuka. This is "Chicken Nanban"( fried chicken in Japanese sweet and peppery vegetable sauce). I made it with my band member. Our band appeared the School Festival. So, after it, we held a party to celebrate the successful completion. By the way, why did we make Chicken Nanban? Because, our band name is "Chicken Nanban". So, we had decided to make it before the School Festival when it finished. In the party to celebrate the successful completion day, we went shopping to buy ingredients, and gathered my band member's house. Then, we cooked, and ate. Making Chicken Nanban was easy before I expected. And it was very delicious. We watched a video which we played to the School Festival while we were eating. Watching it was very ashamed for us, so we made noise when we watched it. After that, we talked about many things, for example music, school, and singer. The party to celebrate the successful completion was very interesting.

My hobby

Hi! It's getting cold lately...take care!
Today,what I wanna tell you about is music.Probably,I think you tired of this topic,most people take it to some question.(hobby,what you like and like this time!)However,some music I introduce today may be what you've never heard and listened,so this is key to get into new world!!!
This is why,I send you one singer.This is "Bibio" His songs are made by various way.He takes many thing into songs,like sounds of bird or rain.On a fine day,taking some machines for recording and limited instrument to his garden,he makes song as using even "jyouro"and "kibasami"for percussion!!! Some people call his song Organic music,but his songs has electronic aspects,folk,pop..........depend on.
Anyway,listening is believing!!!!!you can listen from here.Bibio - À tout à l'heure
Bibio - Dopplerton

Tell me about your impression,bye!

My hometown

Hi,today what I wanna tell you is about my hometown.I'm from Akita city,and it's close from here,so it takes 2500yen to get there.If you come,I recommend you choose August,because,at this time,we have "Kantou festival".Everyyear,it makes me feel what summer is here!!

My major

I wanna be a japanese teacher, so major in education.(japanese teacher means national language)This is why,when my friend look what I study English hard ,most of them ask me the same question "Why do you study so hard?Are you gonna teach genjimonogatari to your student in English !?" Of course I won't do like that.
Originally,English isn't hard thing,touching with English is fun!(without for tests) English is used around the world,so the better my English skill is,the more my world expand!
After all,I was engaged by my curiosity!!!
A teacher who have no curiosity can't teach how importance to bring curiosity,can you?Children have the infinite possibility!!
I think the curiosity should be source of all learning!

My favorite character

Hi! I'm Ryuma. My favorite character is "Rilakkuma". I am a man, but I like pretty characters. I think it is not bad because it is one of my identity. Rilakkuma is very cute and laziness. It usually lies in the floor. But his lifestyle is also cute. And it has two friends, "korilakkuma" and "kiiroitori". They are so cute too. Rilakkuma has many variations. For example, wearing a space cloth, LAWSON's uniform, and so on. Though it is very popular in japan, it has a secret. The secret is that it has a fastner on its back. So rilakkuma is something wearing Kigurumi of the bear! It is a mysterious, but I want to watch it with kindness.
