My favorite spot

Hi, this is Azusa.

I took a movie in my favorite spot where I often go shopping in my hometown.
There is normally so much people on the street but when I did this there was not many because it rained.... unfortunately.

Machida is this.

109 is also there. But I've been to 109 only THREE times during 12 years long.
I think 109 exist already for Girl (ギャル)!!　Hahahaha...

Just watch this ;)

Snoooow!!!・∀・

  Good evening, this is Misaki.

  I live in Hirosaki since April, so I don't know winter in this town. Therefore, I was almost slipping on snowy street. But the view is beautiful... . I like trees covered with snow. I lived in Shizuoka Pref, I seldom see snow.
  I'm interested in winter sports. I have not play any winter sports so much. I tried to skating in my hometown, but I couldn't. I only walked on the skate link. I wanted to practice much more. There was not enough time. So, if you know some nice skate links or other winter sports, please tell me!
  In winter, my uncles, aunts and cousins usually get together at my home in Shizuoka, so I'm looking forward to go home. And there is my birthday in February. Maybe I have to learn many things about the cold weather in Hirosaki, but I like winter.

  The winter music I often listen to. ↓ I like this speed. 

  Thank you!

Winter Day

 Hello. I'm Chieko.

 I like winter because it snows. Some people says that they hate snow, but I like snow.They say that if snow falls, they get wet, they slip, and they can't walk. But I think snow is better than rain because I can brush the snow. I can't brush rain and I don't like walking under an umbrella.

 Though the view of snowy day is very beautiful, snow is sometimes terrible.

 It is beautiful, isn't it? But sometimes...

 Sometimes snow is driven by the wind. But, it is still OK. 

 In my hometown...

 Wind blows much harder. We sometimes can't see anything and we can barely walk.

 Although we have to have a hard time in winter here in Aomori, I still like winter. The largest reason is...in January, I celebrate my birthday! So I have some kind of feeling of familiarity. Actually, I feel familiarity also with snowstorm. My mother says that on my birthday, it always turns into a snowstorm!

Winter song

I don't like to ski. I don't like winter sports. I used to make snow man with my brother. I don't have the great memories of winter. But I like winter song.
So I recommend the winter song I like.
First, "RIDE AWAY". This song is for friends who are riding away from home town. This is composed by Hi-Fi CAMP.
Second, "Dakishimetai". This song is love song. This is composed by Mr.Children.

Winter = Skiing

    Hi. I'm Shun. I can't talk about winter without skiing. Watch this video. He's amazing. Because he's an athlete.

   I don't know about competition skiing well, because I ski just for pleasure. But I want to be like him(him, I mean an professional skier). He's very very cool. I'll tell you again, I'm not crazy.

   I'm going to ski this winter but I'm worried about my right knee that I hurt two years ago since then I haven't ski because I had an entrance exam. Skiing is one of my few thing that I have a confidence. So I hope my knee is all right to enjoy this winter.

    Bye bye    

Good evening ☆

  This is Misaki. Sorry to be late.

  This is one of my favorite songs.
I knew the singer, Enya since I was an elementary school student. Her song was introduced in the radio English program (Kiso Eigo) I used to listen to. I remember I thought that sounds an angel's voice, and drew a picture of two angels. One was real angel and another was Enya with wings. I love her voice. I feel relaxed anytime I listen to and even I 'hear' her song.

  Many songs of her have a melody which makes me feel flowing or floating, but this song is more cheerful. I feel like singing with her.

  I'm interested in other kind of musics, too. I always listen to some game musics, MJ's songs (I miss him), vocaloid songs, J-pops, and soooooo on. (too many to write here.)
  Why don't you talk with me about your favorite musics after the three B class?

  Thank you!

The Smallest Car in the World

  This is a car comedy by BBC named Top Gear. In this video, a tall man named Jeremy drives the smallest car in the world. Some foolish programs you can enjoy if you don't like or hate car. And I like such a foolish one better than serious car impression. I don't want to talk about this video because I want you to watch this freshly without any preconceived idea. A certain Japanese government-run broadcasting station will never make such a funny, very nice program. Though BBC is the same one.

If you like this, go youtube and find more. And let me know something you like.

During Homework

 Hello.

 Today, I'll introduce the music I hear during homework.

 I often do my homework listening to the music. It sometimes makes me comfortable. But some kind of music is annoying, but this isn't. I usually listen to the music setting the volume quiet so that I can concentrate on my homework.

 I like the animation movies Hayao Miyazaki made and I also like the songs in the movies. So I think this video is grate. Although this video includes several songs I do not know well, I enjoy them (in fact, I do not listen that parts well).

 If you like these animations, try it once!

The game's story I like the best

When the man lost the "self" and fell down to darkness, he will be the "heartless". They are called the creature that gives concrete the darkness. And the man who has really strong heart becomes "heartless", "Nobody" will birth at the same time. They have no heart, but have memory of one's past.

Sora is a main character, and Roxas is Sora's Nobody. Ordinally Nobodies have memories, but Roxas has no memory because Sora became heartless by the special way. Generally, Nobodies and the origin of Nobodies can never exist at the same time. But Sora and Roxas do. Why?

If you get interested in this story, play KIGDOM HEARTS, or read their novels.
This movie is my really favorite movie.

 

Major, Hirodaifest, Hometown and Interests!

Hello my friends ;)
I wasn't long time here, sorry I've just forgotten....

About 4 things I'd like to write today.




 At first... about my major!
You already know what my major is. It is education of fine arts. I often study in the building of education. So I seldom see you at University.
Usually I think my assignment of paintings because I have to finish my works within next one week.
When I paint on a paper, I want to do so carefully. But the limited time unfortunately does not allow me.
 In first semester I took a lecture of Japanese traditional painting. There I could complete a painting of lily. In Japanese paintings, lily is often wrote and in Christianity, lily means innocence or purity.
 Now in this second semester I'm taking 31 credits of classes. So I' m a little bit busy;)  (BUT this may be an excuse that I forgot my homework...)

 Next! About my Hirodaifest.
Actually I did nothing for a period of Hirodaifest.  Because I don't belong to any clubs.... Then I bought some sweets my friend sold and met them.
After that I could fortunately see beautiful sunset! Look at this picture! With this scene, my Hirodaifest has finished....!!

 Ok, I have to tell you my hometown.
My hometown is Kanagawa which lies between Tokyo and Yamanashi. Check below where it is!
And Sagamihara-city has became really big city. But I don't know to where from where Sagamihara is. Maybe toooooo large!
 And near my house there is american base which is surrounded with fence. There I found a cat before 2 years and still have the cat in Hirosaki because I brought him.
 I have nothing to write about hometown..... sorry.



bigger map?


In my hometown Kanagawa, snow fall only few like this photo in winter. Obviously this snow must be such no snow for people in Aomori....

 Finally came this. Free topic of my interests!
What I really want to talk about is...... my hobby, COOKING!!! I love cooking and baking. Especially my forte is "gnocchi". In Japanese it is called "ニョッキ". This gnocchi is often made from potatos and flour. in the proportion of one to one. I love to make gnocchi with my hand because it makes me fan to round the dough.
Normally I cook it with creme sauce however this photo is not.
 If you have never eaten gnocchi, I'll be pleased to cook it for you!!!

So, this is all I wanted to write!

See you tomorrow! Ciao :)

Looking for my 100yen

  Good evening, this is Misaki.

  This Monday, I had a foolish experience.
  Before starting the 5th period, I had to pay 250yen to my friend. That was for some photos. I paid 1000yen bill and waiting for 750yen charge. The next moment, the bell rang. The class started.
  I was hurried, and I throw those coins into my purse. Then, those of two were falling, rolling, and missing. I was so embarrassed. One of those missing coins, was found by a boy sitting near by me. But the professor started speaking, so I stopped searching another one.
  At 17:30, the bell rang. I started looking for the last 100yen coin again. My friends helped me, but we couldn't find it. Finally, we gave up and going home. I picked up my bag and my umbrella. Then, we heard some noise, and there was a rolling 100yen coin! We surprised, maybe the coin was in my umbrella till I picked it up. My friends said, it just like a comedy or a short comic story. We laughed a lot.
  I learned no matter how I am hurried, I mustn't throw coins into the wallet. I was sorry to my friends. But it was a little bit funny.

  Thank you!

My Favorite Festival

 Hello. It's me, Chieko. Today, I'll introduce "Tachineputa" to you.

 Tachineputa is the festival held in August 4 to 8th in Gosyogawara City. We take tall dolls riding on cars mainly made by paper and wire. Besides, we play flutes, drams, and handbells. And we hop or dance to the music. It is really fun!

 (This is the last year's our high school's doll)

 Although it is not really certain, it is said that neputa-festival was originally some kinds of the ceremony of floating lanterns on the water. The name is from Japanese word "nemutai", means sleepy.

 In my high school, there is a club making tachineputa-dolls. The club also play instruments in the festival. Of course, students not belongs to the club also can take part in the festival. I took part in the festival playing drams and dancing when I was a high school student. When I graduated the high school, was I disappointed that I can't participate in the festival? No. The graduates also can participate in the festival with the students! In fact, I participated in the festival this summer with my friends. I met old friends and enjoyed a lot!

 Why don't you see it? You may enjoy a lot, too!

 Thank you.

awesome day

   I woke up the third alarm, I felt angry "why don't you ring at the time I ordered !" I drank boiled water which works very much for me not to die in the cold outdoor. It makes me feel like going to the toilet too.

   I get thickly dressed, go to school by bicycle not to be late though I don't want to feel a freezing wind. I'll be arrested inside the school for about 10 hours then. I spent a hard time not to lose my heavy eyelids.

  

   At lunch time, I put too much sauce, I needed to drink 10 glasses of water. I entertained my friend, I'm a good man.

   I'm not going to write about afternoon classes. Of course I was awake, yeah, there's no room to doubt about it. yes,yes.

   At home I ate curry ramen. It was really good. It burned my tongue. And it made me have a sore throat. A table and clothes got stained and I had to wash a lot of dishes.

   And I spent two hours to write such a trifling thing. Good night !

My interest

Recently, I'm interested in writing the lyrics in Japanese. I like Japanese language. Because, they have many words and many styles of expressing the thinking.

Apart from that, I write lyrics. As I do that, I can find what I really think about and who I really am. And I knew how difficult expressing my feeling and writing the convincing sentences are. In writing the lyrics, we shoud adjust the number of sounds of letters. But, I'm not trying to write music, so I don't have to do that.

And, I noticed. Unless we really think about that, we never can write the great lyrics. For example, the man who never experenced the lost love never can express the lost love lylics. So, I want to go through many things. As I do that, I can write many variations of lyrics.

Thank you.

My hometown♪

  Good evening. This is Misaki.

  

  My hometown is Fujinomiya City. It is in Shizuoka Prefecture.

   Nowadays, the city is famous for fried noodle which named "Fujinomiya yakisoba".

We use steamed noodles to make Fujinomiya yakisoba. It is a little bit hard. (stiffness?) It tastes "Umyaa", which means nice taste in Fujinomiya valve.

  Rainbow trout is famous food, too. It's like salmon, but trout lives in cold fresh water.

It is also very popular in America. Last week, I was told it by professor Philips. I searched on the Internet, and surprised, rainbow trout comes from California! It's not Japanese fish. And I understand that some people says too many trouts is not good for Fujinomiya.

  If you go to my hometown, it takes long time. But there are lots of other delicious foods and nice views include Mt.Fuji. So please go there someday.

  Thank you.

 (I'm hungry... .)

My Hometown

 Hello, I'm Chieko.

 My hometown is Nakasato in Aomori prefecture.It is almost in the middle of Tsugaru peninsula.Could you find it?

 It is a small rural town and the proportion of old people to the population is large. There are vast rice fields but nothing else. It is a very quiet place so I can have a relaxed time there.

 The town has a library and a museum. These are the places the most I like. The library is very clean and comfortable place. I often go there when I'm in my hometown. And the museum has many interesting goods which were used in Meiji or Edo period by farmers in Tsugaru area. So I used to go there on every Saturday (actually because elementary school students can enter for free on Saturdays).
 These are the rink for the library and the museum.

 There is nothing special but I like my hometown. It is natural and comfortable place for me. Besides, tap water is good and we can drink it directly. I don't say "Please come to my hometown!" but I like Nakasato very much.

 Thank you.

Hokkkkkaaaaidoooooo

   I'm from somewhere in Hokkaido. I want to ski there because I couldn't do last year not to fail an important entrance exam. I miss that wind.

   Hokkaido has realistic moai. Look. 

Can you distinguish between real one and this if you didn't see its background? 

   And this is a building once I've thought it was Kokkaigijido. Kokkaigujido means the Diet Building. In fact, it's just a high school in Sapporo. I'll be glad if anybody think so. 

That's all.   Bye.

About my hometown

Hello, I'm Rendai.
I'm telling you about my hometown.

I'm from Aomori City, which is famous for apples and garlics.Aomori's apples are really delicious. I really like them! In Aomori, not only apples,but also apple juices are really famous. Garlics are really nutritious. There are Black Garlic, kind of garlic.We can eat them in raw. They are peculiar sweet.

In Aomori, there is very very famous and interesting festival. It is Nebuta Festival in summer.We play flute, beat drums, ring bells, or jump in that festival. They all play the same rhythm. Nebutas are very big! They are made from papers. I don't know how they are made. But, maybe it's really hard.

In fact, my parents' house is in the country. There is nothing special. But, there is a shore near their house. I usually went there when I got depressed. I like the nature. So, I can feel refleshed. And, I really hate the crowded place like Tokyo. So,
I 'm fit for the country.

Now, I live in Hirosaki. It is easy to go my home town by train because the distance is close. So I can go back my parents' home easily when I feel like going back. I'm really happy.

Thank you.

Hirodaisai

 Hello. I'm Chieko.

 In October 26th to 28th, Hirodaisai, the school festival in Hirosaki University, was held. I heard many people went there, and my friends enjoyed it. But I went there only on Friday.

 Why? I don't belong to any clubs, so I had nothing to do with shops. That means I have three days off! So I went back home and had a relaxed time.

 But I was interested in the festival, so I went there on Friday. I went with my friend in dormitory in the afternoon. We first went to the shop which my friend who belongs to Karuta club runs. They sold "anmitsu". I like sweets so I bought one cup of anmitsu. My friend was so glad because I was the first customer to them.

 After that, we two walked around seeing many shops. There were so many people. Some people talk to us to sell their goods. Actually, I don't like crowded place very much and I felt very tired, so we went home. We were in the festival for only two hour!

 That's all about my time in festival. But my friends say they enjoyed it, so I want to enjoy it more next year!
