my favorite....

Hi everyone! How are you doing!? Today, I would like to introduce about her...aiko!!! She is Japanese singer-songwriter and I am a big fan of her. She is now 34 years old, but she seems to be younger than her real age. I like her songs and her pleasant personality. Aiko write a lot of love songs that we all can have sympathy. And she has very lovely voice, and she is good at singing. I always sing her songs when I go to Karaoke with friends of mine. As I said before, she wrote a lot of songs, and among of all those songs, I like the song titled “瞳” means “the pupil if an eye”. This song is also love song, but it is not love between boys and girls but between mother and daughter. That is my best favorite song. First I heard the song, I cried. And there were my mother, with hearing the song I looked at my mother, then her also cried. It gives us a lot of impressive.
This summer aiko hold her concert all around Japan. And next month she will come to Fukuoka. So I just want to go to her concert! I am very looking forward to it.
I like her fashion, too. She always wears the old fashion clothes. And those are all lovely. I want her to start up her own fashion brand. If it comes true, I will be a big fan of that brand as well.

That is all for today, thank you for your reading. And please hear the song; “瞳”！

One Piece!

Today, I would like introduce my favorite comics. I like comics very much, and I read a lot of comics since I was a child. And my father told me comics give us much knowledge. Now I give a presentation of this comic! “One Piece”!
I think this is the most interesting comic in this world! “One Piece” is now appearing serially in the magazine for boys; Sho-nen Jump. This is the story of the pirate. Listening to a word of pirate, maybe someone think it is a bad story, but it gives us a lot of impression and laugh. The main character’s name is Luffy, and I like this character the best, because he is very strong, simple and innocent. Comics for boys seem its story is only fighting, but unexpectedly these comics have a wonderful drama. In “One Piece,” there are uncountable characters. But the points of the comic, all of characters have an amazing drama respectively.
The author is Eiichiro Oda. He is from Kumamoto. So he is a pride of Kumamoto, because his “One Piece” approves around the world. And one thing what I think he is great is he continuing answering reader’s question each separate volume. I think it is special service for all readers. I want to read “One Piece” every people all countries. It is not too much to say that if you don’t read this comic, you suffer a loss your life!
Check it!

my favorite movies

Today, I am going to talk about my favorite movies. I like to watch movies very much; especially I like foreign films lots than Japanese films, because I like to study foreign languages. I watch movies with English subtitle, and it is good how to learn English.
Do you know the film titled “BIG FISH”? That is my best favorite movie. The story is human drama, and I can see the love between father and the son. And the story is not only human drama, but also fantasy. It is most beautiful story that I have ever seen. Every time I was questioned “what is your favorite movie?” I tell the story of this one. When I watch this movie, I feel my heart warming.
Not only foreign films, I like the films made by Hayao Miyazaki. He is one of the most famous Japanese animator in the world. Every films that he made have some messages to the world. For example, he said “stop deforestation” in the film titled “the princess of mononoke.” And men characters that appear every film are all cool and good-looking. Also I can feel love in all films made by Hayao Miyazaki. He got an Academy Award in 2003 for the great film titled “Spirited Away.” That was the greatest achievements for him. But he always says that he never want to be a veteran. I am very impressed his words. And what the biggest point for his movie is everyone can enjoy the story even child, even adult.
To watch movies is very good habit for us. Movies give us many impressions and knowledge. I want to watch a lot of movies through my life.

At that time, I overturned all of the puddings. Then workmen who make confectioneries got angry and I was very sorry about my mistake. But master was comfort me and I wanted to cry there.

PIANO GIRL

Today I would like to talk about my favorite activities. I like to play the piano.
I think I am good at playing the piano, and I am a nice player. When I was elementary school 2nd grade student, I started to learn the piano at my neighboring house. Before I go to the first lesson, we all don’t know whether I can continue the piano, my father bought me the piano. Mother was surprised. But I was very glad to buy the piano.

Once I went to the lesson, I was absorbed in the piano. I was making gradual progress in my piano. My teacher said that I was the best player of her students. My mother was glad to hear that. And I was as well.

Four years were passed from my first lesson, I started to go to junior high school. I belonged to brass band club and I played the clarinet. Since then, I found the happiness of play with other people, so I was completely absorbed in club activities. My lessons of piano were decrease because of the club. One day, I talked to my mother to I want to quit the piano. Mother and Father didn’t agree with my decision, but I quit it.

Now I think about that decision calmly, it is bad decision for me. I liked to play the piano, and I want to make progress more and more. What one likes, one will do best. This is Japanese teaching. Also, I feel sorry for my father and mother. They expected me to succeed. And I wanted to answer their expectation. But now, I am playing the piano in my own style. I taught myself. It is also good, and my parents like my piano not changing from before I quit the lesson of piano. My father says me “I like your piano, and to listen to your piano is my special pleasure.” I cannot help playing the piano when I listen to such statements.

Now, I am trying to compose my own music. If you want to listen to them, you should come to my home!

He is nine years old now, so he is already eighty years old as a human. Before Rookie has come to my house, we had same kind of dog; his name was Keeper. When I was elementary school student, Keeper has come to my house. He was very clever and lovely, so our family loved him very much. But he is very sickness, so he died only three years because of leukemia. We were all sad, and my mother decided to never have any dog. But one year after from Keeper died, my father proposed having dog again. And then, Rookie came to our house. Rookie was not clever than Keeper, and when he was baby, he didn’t take to us. We all worried about that, but we kept loving Rookie as well as Keeper. And few years later, he did trust me a little and little. Now, we love and trust each other.

Do you like music? Do you need music?I love music and I always need it. I think that music gives us a lot of things; impressions, knowledge, sympathies, and so on. I grew up with music because my parents also love music. My older brother play guitar and sing songs which he made everyday, and I can play the piano, clarinet, flute, guitar, Japanese-Samisen, etc. My mom likes to sing songs, and dancing, and daddy was band-man when he was young. So, our house is always filled with kinds of music.

When I was a junior high school student, I joined the wind-instrument music club. And there, I studied about music very much. I found the pleasure of playing music all together. I met many professionals, and it was become precious experience.

Today, I quit piano lesson and wind-instrument music club, but still I am participating in music. Recently, I started writing my original song. That’s fan.
This summer, my favorite wind orchestra will have a concert. My teacher of junior high school will command the orchestra. I’m very looking forward this concert.

Anyway, I can’t live without music. NO MUSIC, NO LIFE!
