Golden Week

5/2 I played tennis at iwaki.
I had been slightly feverish since the previous day, but I played hard.
So when I came home, my temperature was 38.0 degrees.

5/3 Because I still had a fever, I was not able to participate a teniss match.

5/4~5/5 I went home and met my family.
And I went to Hrajuku with a friend of mine.


5/6 I went back to Hirosaki.


This is my Golden Week! Thank you.

Good point of Swimming

Hello!!Let me write about a swimming club which I belong to.

There are about sixty people in the club.
Now we swim Monday,Wednesday,Thursday and Saturday in Yakuruto Swimming,
which is a public swimming pool.We are not forced to come to every practice because
swimming is an individual sport.If you have a lot of homework to do,you don't have
to attend the club.
I think that is a good point of an individual sport!!
Everyone can practice at his pace for his goal.

I have just bagan to swim since last month,
so my first goal is to swim "50m Free style" at a city competition
which is held at the end of May.
I'll do my best!!!

See you!

My Golden Week

Hallo.

I'm sorry to be late for writing blog.

Well, this time I will write about my golden week.



This year's golden week was very good and very bad.

Why I said so, becouse I caught a cold in last few days of golden week.

(I got well today...)

I couldn't do my homework in these days, so now I'm very busy to do that.



However, first few days was very very fun!!

I returned to Osaka to meet my hight school friends

and saw Takarazuka opera.

The reason of going to Osaka this time was that my friend performed Takarazuka!

She was very nice and Iwas very happy that she's dream came true.

As I saw her shiny smile, I thought that "I also have to do my best".



Such being the case, I must work hard to finish my homework.

Today I finish writing.

Please take care of your health.

My life☆

I live in my parent’s home now.
However I cook dinner three times every week to stand on my own legs.
It may be natural for people who live by themselves to cook dinner every day, but I tend to depend on my family because I live in my parent’s home.
So when I entered Hirosaki university, I decided to cook dinner regularly to stand on my own legs in advance.
By the way, do you do any housework in your parent’s home?
Please tell me about your life too!!

My Golden Week

This golden week, I returned to my family home in Niigata.

The day after arrival at Niigata, I went to see my grandmother, who had been run over by a car and entered Nagaoka West Hospital. Althogh she had been badly injured then,she recovered and looked well when I met her. So I was very relieved.

The next day, one of my old friend I’ve known since junior high school came to see me. And We had lunch together. I was very glad to see him after a long time.

This time I didn’t do anything special, but it was very nice vacation for me.

A happy golden week


In this golden week, I had many visitors.

They came from Saitama, Hachinohe, Sendai, and Aomori.

I met them and drank every night.

One night, I drank up two bottles of beer and a bottle of Shochu.

So, next morning was a little painful for me.

Although I was only drinking, I fully enjoyed this golden week.


P.S. Be careful about too much drinking.

Golden Week

I said that I belonged to Bowling Club before. So, I practiced bowling in my vacation.there is a competition in the end of this month, so I practiced very hard. I was tired,but I will practice much harder on next practice because I want to get a good score in the competition.


I didn't go on a trip, but I think my vacation was very nice. However, I want to travel somewhere in next vacation!!

My Golden Week




I went to Ousyu city with my family. Actually, the purpose was to attend my relative's wedding.But I went to many place.




First, I went to Esashi-Fujiwara no Sato. In this place, we saw old Japanese building. I heard that many Japanese SENGKU drama came here to film.

Moreover, I could watch Sinken-ger show! There were a lot of children! They shouted to Sinken-ger ''Ganbare!''. They were about to lose but just hearing of children's voice,they get energy and defeat enemies! It was fun!
Next day, I walked around mizusawa area. I was tired but I could see shrine, astronomical observatory and Esashi-Jinku festival! I think this exprience was precious for me!




My Golden Week

In this Golden Week, I returned to my family home in Chiba.

I was not able to go out so much. This is because I had to do my homework.
So, I have few memories to write on this blog, however, what I think the best memory in this
Golden Week is I went to Makuhari to eat Chinese food.

I ate fried rice, spring rolls, pot stickers, steamed bun with meat in it , and so on...

To my surprise, there was curry and rice on the menu list!!
Maybe curry and rice is Indian food!!

I want to spend Golden Week next year more happily.
I wish I could go to Tokyo Disneyland.

See you!!

I visited Hokkaido this holiday.

I took this picture in Otaru.
We could go to Otaru in about thirty minutes from Spporo by train.
We took pictures on Otaru Unga and ate ice crearm.
After sightseeing in Otaru, we came back Sapporo and ate Genghis Khan.
It was very delicious!!
This was our first day.
In second day, we went to Maruyama park, which is in Sapporo.
We wanted to see cherry blossoms, but there was less than we expected.
It was a hot day and there were many people, so we went out the park.
In this time, we couldn't go many places because we had little time.
So, I want to go Hokkaido next summer vacations and visit many places!!

WEZARD

Izumi Sakai, who was the vocal of ZARD, passed away two years ago.
I had known about her before that, but did not know in detail. So, I came to want to know
her and came to listen to tunes of ZARD.Then, I became the fan .
Now, I listen to ZARD every day.

Though there are many good points, such as her looks or voice, I think the words is the best.
Only I read the words that she composed, I become energetic.I was helped by her song in the
failed student age.

My favorite song is "Kokoro Wo Hiraite".In this song, there is lots of words that I can sympathize.
I like also "Makenaide". This tune is famous for 24 hour television's song.

If you become interested in ZARD by reading this article, you should search "WEZARD" on the
Intenet.You will get various information.

Thank you for reading my interest.

My interest










Now I’m interested in MLB (Major League Baseball),  especially two japanese pitchers, Kouji Uehara and Kenshin Kawakami. They have played an active part as top-class players in Japanese baseball world for a long time. I’m very attached to them because I’ve known them since their debut. Although many Japanese players are now playing in MLB, I think there is a great difference between Japanese professional baseball and MLB. So I want to know whether they can play an active part in MLB.    

Nice to meet you!!

The Last Samurai


I have liked the best the movie for a few years. Seeing some movies, my best favorite movie is really it. The story moves me greatly. The Meiji era, Japanese peaple were overcrowded with new culture, language, system of the Western countries, so they were confused and worried. The last samurais loved their own nation, and they fought fair and bravely with their belief. Eventually, Katsumoto, he was the Japanese samurai, was dead. Nathan Algren, he was the last samurai, kept Japanese samurai's wish. I think this movie reminds us of what we must not forget.

TONARI NO TOTORO



There is the movie that almost Japanese know and love. It is Hayao Miyazaki’s movie.



In his movies, especially I like “TOTORO”. TOTORO is a wood sprite and only children can see him. Some people say that TOTORO is the god of death, but I simply can believe that. Although no one can know the truth, TOTORO is a cute sprite in my mind.





My favorite character in this movie is Mei. She is a little girl and a mischievous child, so she always cause trouble for her sister. However, she is so cute that I can’t get to dislike her.

More on Faust

Hardly anyone in the class could think of a story similar to Faust. But this is a very influential story in literature Wikipedia has a long article about Faust, which goes into comparisons of Marlowe's and Goethe's Faust stories. In fact, Wikipedia has a whole category about Faust. It also has an article about other stories based on Faust. Hmmmm. I never knew Osamu Tezuka wrote a manga about Faust. There is another Wikipedia article about deals made with the devil. You'll find a list of other stories with similar deals there. As I mentioned in class, Mephistopheles is such a fascinating character that many other authors have used him in their works of art. Wikipedia features a long list of cultural references to Mephstopheles. Many such references are recent, even current. Some of them you might even know. Check it out.

Your favorite movie!


What's your favorite movie? Mine is The Seven Samurai. I first saw this movie when I was home sick from elementary school in Los Angeles. "Ho, hum" I thought. "Another samurai movie." There are a lot of samurai movies on TV in Los Angeles. I don't like them but Quentin Tarantino became very influenced by them. I don't like Quentin Tarantino, either.

"Oh, well, there's nothing else on [in the daytime]."

"Hey, wait a minute. This is not the usual samurai movie. This is . . . What is this? The Seven Samurai? I've gotta remember this."

I did remember it. It wasn't on TV for a long time, but when it was, and I didn't have a TV (I was in college) I went over to a friend's place and made him watch it, too. I watched any other movies I could find by Akira Kurosawa. He has been a major influence on Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and other Hollywood directors. I have a large collection of his films and even taught a class about him to the foreign students here.

Many people think of Kurosawa as the Emperor of Japanese Film, which he may have been, but he didn't just make Japanese films. He made a Russian film, he made a French film (a samurai movie) and he made many Hollywood films, including work on the disasterous "Tora, Tora, Tora" but more importantly "Dreams".

Kurosawa was a famous perfectionist, and whenever people would ask him what was his best picture, he always said "The next one!" until he made "Ran" which he finally decided was his best film. It is a version of Shakespeare's "King Lear" in Japanese. Kurosawa made other Shakespeare films, and even his stories that weren't taken directly from Shakespeare, (e.g. "The Bad Sleep Well") were often heavily influenced by Shakespeare (in the case of "The Bad Sleep Well" by "Hamlet").

I could say a lot about Kurosawa, but maybe I'll just end by noting that his first film famous outside Japan was "Rashomon". It became a very influential film. It made film makers aware of the possibilities of presenting different versions of the past, a technique which has since become common in film. "Rashomon" has arguably become an English word.

For your assignment this week (due Friday) please tell the class about a film you enjoyed. Be sure to provide links, especially to its page on the Internet Movie Database. (Don't worry if you don't like foreign films. They have lots of Japanese films there, too.) Also be sure to include any other links, photos, or trailers you can find. Here's a trailer I found for "The Seven Samurai".

Japanese weather!

Last class meeting I suggested that people blog their favorite Japanese weather sites on the Internet. Imagine my shock when I found out that students didn't get their weather information from the Internet!

Weather in Japan is important information. Yes, I get it from NHK and even looking at the sky (hey, I'm not an idiot) but weather information online is always accessible with the latest data.

This is the best weather site I've been able to find for Japan. If you know another, please suggest it.

The Story Of Genji


Do you like the Japanese classics? Now that we finished taking academic examinations, would you like to enjoy sophisticated works?




I like "Genji monogatari". I knew this story because I read a comic book. The comic is"Asakiyumemisi" writen by Waki Yamato. Have you read it? This story is sad, interesting and beautiful. (It is difficult to express real Japanese feelings. I can not use match words.) If you read tthis story, you shall read the original story of genji writen by Murasakisikibu!



This is my secret. If you know almost all the story of Genji, please see this site. There are interesting things.

My Winter Vacation/Dr.Faustus


I'll tell you how I spent my winter vacation.
On Dec. 24, I baked my mother a christmas cake.
She had been staying at a national hospital of Hirosaki, so my sister and I visited her and gave her the cake.
It was very hard for me since I seldom make cakes.
On Jan.2, I went to Iwaki-yama shrine for beginning of the New Year.
I pulled out an omikuji there, it said dai-kichi!
May the new year bring us happiness.
---------------------------------------------
I think "Doctor Faustus" tells us about how Western people believe in the world after death.
By the way, it was surprising that Lucifer was a woman.
Is Lucifer also a woman in other movies or pictures?
In Japan, people believe that Hell's king is Enma-daiou.
Perhaps he is a man. It's interesting for me the difference very much.

I can't find any story similar to "Doctor Faustus."
I just think the story riminds me inga-ouhou.

About Doctor Faustus

I think Doctor Faustus was an unhappy person. He followed the way of corruption by his some personal seduction.

I think he had been a good doctor before, but some praise made him to go to fault way. Then when he noticed that he had been wrong, it was too late and his life was over.
Everyone has virtue and evil in one's mind. And sometimes the praise makes he or she to go to bad way. But listen carefully to public opinions, perhaps he or she notice the most important things.

He didn't take a lot of people's advice in good way. The students in a college, a god and people like that advised to him. But he didn't listen to. In conclusion, I think he didn't have enough attention in around him.
That's all.

Doctor Faustus

January 9 in 2009 , I wathed a movie called ' Doctor Faustus ' . The movie described a man who wanted omniscience and omnipotent . Doctor Faustus selled his soul to one devil , Mephistop heles , to gain them . He made a pledge with hell to obtain all power .

Doctor Faust sent his life freely . But sometimes , he wondered if he was right , and ask for help to God . To do like that , he finaly broked his pledge with hell .

I thought that having all the things human wants is not good . I think we have to make up for a weakness each other . That's life !!

Winter Vacation In Hokkaido

Winter vacation, I went back to Hokkaido. I am from Obihiro in Hokkaido. My city is famous for raw caramel. Winter vacation of univercity is short, so I relaxed in my home for a few days. In my house, I made kurikinton; this is a delicious Japanese cook in first year. It was cold and snow not only in Hirosaki but also in Obihiro but Ihad a good vacation!

"Dr. Faustus" is tragedy. I think Dr.Faustus is a miserable man. He had a keen desire for fame and money. Eventually, he wished he had got eternal life. He could not be satisfied with his present happiness. This is why he became unhappy.

Saturday, January 17, 2009

Winter Vacation

The movie called "Dr.Faustus" was interesting, but I felt little frightening story. Because Dr, Faustus was really talented, therefore he seek everything of pleasure. Finally, he cast into Hell.
I thought avarice is not good thing.


I went to a cafe with my mother on Christmas Day in 2008. The cafe called "HIMAWARI". It's on the DOTEMATHI street. It was first time to go there. I like the cafe because the atmosphere is retro-style and the dishes were delicious. If you have chance, please go there. You can enjoy delicious coffee and nice meals.


By the way, 7th January on 2009, there was a fire on my neighboring house. And the fire spread to my house! My family and I were really suprised!

Fortunately, a firefighter extinguished a fire immediately. So, damage was little and there was no injured person.



… I felt fire is terrible and we have to be careful of fire.

My Winter Vacation


In winter vacation, I did a short-tirm part time job.

Actually, I did a part-time job for the first time.

My job is to sell Japanese New Year Decoration, called SHIMENAWA outside!

It was really hard to be outside all day.

When I did a part time job, it was snowing and browing everyday.

I also must be standing all day long, so I felt really tired.

But a part time job was very good experience for me.

I was happy when customers bought something and said thank you for me.

I learned many things throught a part time job.


Doctor Faustus was interesting movie.

However the actor's English is so fast that I couldn't listen so well.

I thought I could listen these English perfectly many time during watching the movie.

My vacation activities

I will tell you my winter vacation activity.

On December 31th, my father makes buckwheat noodles (soba) eaten on New Year's Eve. I helped him to make soba. I tell you how to make "soba" .

First, add some water to buckwheat flour which was calculated and knead it thoroughly.

After enough kneading, extend the dough of soba with a rolling pin.

Next, not to stick, sprinkle the dough with some starch powder.

Then, fold the dough into two or three and cut it thinly.

Finally, boil it on your liking hardness and pickle it in some water and enjoy eating in a lot of way!I like soba noodles in hot broth with tempura. Its taste is very good!!

Please try it.

Doctor Faustus

Doctor Faustus is the strange movie for me. Dr. Faustus, the hero of this story, was too clever to be satisfied with ordinary life. He was tempted by Lucifer and changed his soul for youth. After that he sought pleasure and drank too much. The expression in this scene was interesting because anything had been extremely express; a beautiful woman is not necessarily beautiful etc.
Lastly, I thought that no man can resist the temptation of beautiful woman; he was charmed by Helen.

As teacher had said, the end of this movie was not happy. I became so sad because I like a happy ending and I want to see a dream at least in the story.




By the way, I met the friends who are my friends since in my high school students in this winter vacation. We seldom met, so we had a lot of thing we want to say; Study at the university, Love, Living by oneself etc. We told as much as we want while eating delicious lunch in the AOI’s café. The Spanish omelette I ate was better than any omelet I’ve eaten. I want to go this restaurant again with the same member.

Amazing Grace

I do not listen to music and watch music television very often. So I do not many new music, but will introduce my favorite song.

Amazing Grace
This music is used in "A White Big Tower". When I listen to this music, I felt like knowing the meaning of the words of the song. Please listen to this song again with the words. I hope that you will have other feelings. There is the words translated into Japanese in this site.

Spring Is Not So Bad


I like spring comparatively.
For one reason, we can't see cherry blossoms except in this season. I have been attracted by cherry blossoms since my childhood. I think they have unexplainable power to charm people.
For another reason, I can feel the atmosphere that is "something new." Spring is full of new places, new encounters, new jobs and new feelings.
...I think you had hard time to understand what I wanted to say, particularly about "something new." I just like unusual or irregular days.

Thursday, December 11, 2008

Favorite season

I like summer the best . Because the sunlight of this season is very fresh ! Although the sunlight is hot, it makes my mind healthy . And then , this season has many events like 'Neputa 'festival in Hirosaki , 'Nebuta' festival in Aomori and so on . These festival gives us impression . In short , summer is the season which gives us some energy .

My favorite season




My favorite season is autumn because autumn sky is very clear and beautiful.


I like these sky very much.


There are some pictures I took last autumn.




In autumn, the cloud often changes. Every scene is really beautiful.


Watching these sky, I feel comfortable and calm.


We can see the sky everyday, but I think the autumn sky is the best view.

My favorite season


I like spring the best. And I have two reasons.
First, spring is warm so I can spend comfortable. Second, many flowers and trees bloom in spring. For example, cherry blossoms, tulips, Japanese apricot flowers and so on. I like plants very much.

We have cherry blossom festival in Hirosaki park every spring. I visit there every spring with my friends or my family. It is really fun for me. I like cherry blossoms. especially, I love “yozakura”. I think it more beautiful than see it in a daytime.
I am looking forward to see cherry blossoms from now.

Winter's enjoyments

My favorite season is..um..I get confused. Which season I like the best? Every season have each good point. But I think winter is the best.
Because I like snow. It is very white. The White Christmas is so beautiful. I think most people think so. If there are the Christmas illumination, it will be more beautiful.The another reason I like winter, I can enjoy enjoyment particular to the winter season, er, especially the new year holidays. In that holiday my family enjoy eating New Year dishes(oseti). A lot of Japanese eat oseti in new year holidays.Those cookings are so delicious.I like to eat mochi(rice cake) with walnuts paste. Even though I don't like solid walnuts. Which do you eat rice cakes with? Bean jam, soy sauce, soybeans flour... I want to eat early!
We can do snow sports is the reason too I like winter. I like to ski. It is so exciting for me! I always go skiing with my father and my brother. This winter I want to go to some ski area in Aomori because I've never been to any area in Aomori. I am looking forward it. However I hope it snows early... Because I can't ski unless it snows...
Like this winter has lot of enjoyments.
Although changing the subject, it is winter in Japan now, but it is summer in the southern hemisphere. If I have a chance to go there, I want to see a Santa Claus surfing.

My favorite season

My favorite season is summer, and I have three reasons about it.



First, there are my birthday and it’s day is the best happy day for me in a year. Some friends have already begun to work, so it is not easily for us to meet frequently. Although, when it is my birthday, they always send an email me or call me even if they are busy and tired.



Next, I don’t like the cold. I don’t feel like going out; and besides I would like to keep warming myself at a kotatsu. Other reason I don’t like winter is that the train time table sometimes fell into disarray due to the snowstorm. I have to commute to school by train because I live in Akita. So, if the train stop, that will be a big problem for me.


Third, in summer I can eat a lot of vegetables. My grandparents grow them in my garden. There are various kind of them, and I like tomato, pumpkin, corn, and broccoli. Those vegetables are harvested in summer. In short, summer makes me happy and it is the most comfortable for me to live.
