Yusuke Habu: news article Toasty travel by Yomiuri Shinbun

Good evening, everyone.

Today I would like to talk about " Passengers chat while warming themselves under a kotatsu heater in a special car running on Sanriku Railway Co.'s Kita-Rias Line along the coast of Iwate Prefecture, which was damaged by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami."

When I saw this article, I was surprised to hear this because I have never heard a special car where you can warm yourself under the kotatsu. If I had a car like that, I would be very happy because not only I feel warm in winter, but also I feel safe and comfortable.

i and masamichi and a friend in other class went to have crapes to harajuku today. it costs a little hiegher than i expected but i had fun tonight so it was totally worth it.

Survey

I ask for my friends to answer some questions for final project survey. Then, some of them replied to me rapidly. They are so kind:)

she's american.

Bridget Jones's Diary series are one of my favourite British films. I recommended to Ayumi and she seemed to have enjoyed them. She told me that the actress Renée Zellweger who plays Bridget Jones role is American. Her pronunciation sounded so British that I thought she was from England. I wish I could speak like her.

Starbucks failed me.

i applied for Starbucks barista and they failed me. They don't want me before even interviewing😂
I think I'm gotta find another job. Everything is going to be alright.

after class

After working for the final survey, I went to a cafe with the members of survey group. It was so much fun chilling out, chatting and planning for the presentation. Thank you guys.

Yusuke Habu: news article English words to be added to stop, slow signs by daily yomiuri

Good morning, everyone.

Today I would like to talk about stop and slow down signs in Japan. They added English on them for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic games in 2020.

I think it is a great thing to add English on the stop and slow down sign. Now I would like to talk about my reason.

Not only because it is good for foreigners, but also I think it is good for Japanese too. The reason why I say this is because I think when Japanese people see a language which is different for them, I think more people will feel like stopping unconsciously. Because we have interest in different world country and language. Most of the people think it is cool to be in touch with different languages.

archery tournament

Last Sunday, I had tournament game for Japanese archery club. I hit the target 4 out of 8 times, thus was able to compete in the final.

Cave of blue

Last friday, I went to the cave of blue(Ao no Doukutu)with Akiko. It was illumination held near Uoyogi park. The light was all blue, so it was hard to see directly at first, but it was so romantic!!!

My grandmother's birthday

It was my grandmother' a birthday yesterday. She became 79 years old. I was taken care of by her when I was young, so I cannot believe she is already nearly 80 years old. Time passed so fast.  But she is still so fine that she has been working at her gift shop with my mother. I love her and I hope that she will live long.

Yusuke Habu: news article AI may help answer Diet questions

Good evening, everyone.

The article is about " The government is examining how artificial intelligence could be used in administrative work, such as creating rough drafts for Cabinet members to use when answering questions during Diet deliberations according to sources."

Through this article I was surprised to read this because I never thought AI would contribute to Japanese society or Japanese political field.

I think it is a good idea. However, we should not create a emotional AI. We must be careful when programing it so we should make the AI that helps people's works or lives.

Yusuke Habu: news article A golden year

Good evening, everyone.

This article is about " Seihan Mori, head priest of Kyoto's Kiyomizudera temple, writes kanji on Monday that can be read as "kin" for gold or "kane" for money. "

I thought writing kanji that describes the year is wonderful because when I saw this kind of news, I always feel I achieved something in the year. It is a great thing. I hope it continues in the future.

Irony: Though McDonald's had successfully escaped from the police, earthquake happened and he was run over by a car.

Part-time job

I finished five days of consecutive work at my part-time job. It was from last Saturday to Wednesday. It was hard, because I had a lot of assignments in this week. Anyway, I don't have part-time jobs for 4 days from Thursday. I always want to do my nails, but I cannot do it because of my job. So I did it yesterday, and I will change colors tonight. I enjoy my holiday!!

logorama

There are many companies now. I found out a message from this video. It is that many companies have built the city, but they have been destroying nature. In this video, McDonald's runs wild, and destroy the city. The other logo fight against him. It is like real world. Actually, companies compete with others' sales or business strategies. Irony is that the city where is convenient or easy to live could destroy nature. People try to make the world great, but it affect on nature.

PARIYA

Yesterday, some members in my circle and I went to PARIYA at 21:00. We ate gelato outside regardless of cold weather. It was very tasty. But it was so cold.

logorama

The theme of the video, is the society that is ruled by big companies. The city is filled with famous companies logos and that symbolizes our actual society that we live. The companies are competing with each other, which Mc Donald and Michelin symbolizes.The irony is that when Donald Mac Donald died,the world collapsed. The conflict is Mac Donald vurses others.

theme: technological development seems good, but it is simultaneously destroying nature. we have to be careful with it, otherwise we may be punished in the future.

Varmints

The theme of this animation is destroyed nature. The main character was surrounded by plentiful nature and lived happily but suddenly that nature was destroyed and replaced by buildings or factories. This represents industrialization in this world. He was forced to live in small apartment and felt lonely. The climax of the story is kind of weird because he was caputured by mysterious creature or something and entered inside of it. But what he saw there was nature disappered before. Maybe this is one type of dystopia.

Yusuke Habu: news article Japanese students' rank falls in reading, rises in science

Good evening, everyone.

For last week blog entry, I have explained why students score math and science higher than before.

However, today, I would like to talk about why students didn't score reading more than before.

I think that is because probably we nowadays have the tendency to find out the answer quickly.

Probably this is created by the rising number of cram schools. Cram schools teachs us how to solve

the problem related to the test, not to think deeply about one big topic or material.

meet

Many of you know that I'm a heavy chocoholic, but I also love meat so bad. I work at a steak diner and eat steaks and hamburgs so many times. If you know a good place that I can eat meat please tell me!!! Many people think that eating too much meat will make you fat but that's not true. The rice and the oil that you eat with them makes people fat. So don't worry and eat!!!!! Meat is good for our health!

Yusuke Habu: assignment logorama

Setting: A town where there are full of companies. When is probably modern times.

Conflict: company vs company ( They fight each other.)

Climax: Nature has destroyed all the companies.

Symbol: Company symbolize people. And the whole town symbolizes human society.

Irony: Humans were fighting each other and the environment got worse and worse. As a result,
           the nature destroyed everything.

Theme: Conflict can cause destruction of enviroment. Moreover, probably thinking about ourselves  
             too much will lead to a disaster unless you don't think about other things like nature or the
             environment.

varmints

Setting: in a future in a city dominated and polluted by human.

irony: though people in the city has been destroying the natural and city they were destroyed. Meanwhile, though the main character hesitated to destroy the natural and city, he was saved by natural.

Theme: don't fight against the natural and save natural. Otherwise I will be punished by natural.

Conflict: human versus natural.

Symbol: the mass mortality of human symbolize what we would face in the future if we keep polluting the earth.

varmints

The story had a theme that is connected to the environment. The world once had beautiful nature but after the building were built, the nature had disapeared. When the environment was being destroying, most of the characters didn't care. They keep polluting until they lose a the place to live. The ones who cared about the green got rescued but the number of them was little. The theme is the our ignorance against the environment and the characters that died symbolizes us.

strawberry daihuku

Every winter, I am looking forward to eating strawberry daihuku. We canntot eat it  during winter, so I feel special sense.  I heard that there is a famous wagashi store in Aoyama, so I would like to go there if I have a time.
Then, I have an interesting memory about strawberry daihuku. My classic Japnese teacher at high school also loves it. She always used it as an example of noun when she explained the grammer. For example, she  said "Ichigo daihuku nari~." Her way of saying was very funny, so I won't forget it forever.

A lot of plan

When it gets winter, I really wanna do many thing and I have many plans. For example, trip for snowboarding and dinner with my friends. So my money isn't enough. I should have done my part time job more in November. I also want to buy clothes. Money is really important. I should not waste.

Varmints

Setting: the primitive place where the natural environment has been preserved

Conflict: urbanized world vs natural world

Irony: As the world is civilized and there are increasing inorganic substances, the living things come to be in poor health, and the scenery filled with beautiful green are replaced by the polluted area where everything has darkish, threatening gray colors.

Theme: It pays a high price for us to civilize our lives too much. When our lives become more convenient and urbanized, a lot of things are turned to be unorganized. But this video shows living things can't live without organic substances.  So we can lose precious sources to live healthy when an eager desire for developed standard of lives blinds us.

Detroit Institute of Arts Exhibition

On Sunday, I went to Detroit Institute of Arts Exhibition at the Ueno Royal Museum with my friend. I saw a lot of works painted by Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet and so on. Everything was wonderful. I bought some postcards. I recommend you to visit there.

Imagine Dragons

I really like Imagine Dragons famous which is American alternative rock band.

Radioactive is very famous song for them. Their characteristics of music is playing music with many

kinds of drumming instruments, that makes their music more emotional and exciting.

Also lead vocal Dan's characteristic voice make you being addicted. If you don't know, let's try listening!

Yusuke Habu: news article Let's go to the museum/ World of packages contains plenty of surprises

Good evening, everyone.

Today I would like to talk about this article.

Through this article, I realized the depth of museums. Before I read this article, my image of

museums were different. That is, a place where you can see old historical things. For example,

dinosaur bones or swords from long time ago.  When I think about it now, museums are

extraordinary. It gives you information of the history or the quality of the product or a thing.

Driver's license

I am so happy since last tuesday because I got my driver's license finally. I can now drive a car but I know I should be careful because I have heard that there are lots of accidents happened to those who has just got their driver's license.

practice for the play

On Sunday, I had a practice for the play on December 23-24.  On that day, teacher for our club has come and teach us a lot of things. We can find many points to improve. To make one musical play is so tough, but we have only 18 days to go, so I will do my best.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

On Wednesday, Ayano, Mayu and I watched a movie, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It was so amazing. I was very excited to see it. I recommend you to watch it !

Varmints

The video could give a several message to the viewers and what I believe to be the main message of it is about our environment being polluted. The animals represent as the inhabitants of the place and because their surrounding loses a lot of greens, everywhere is polluted and it made the animals get sick and leading them to death. In my opinion,  what the video expresses is that all the beings in the earth in the future will suffer if we will not stop the causes and sources of pollution which we already  are aware of. The condition of our environment depends on us inhabitants so we should take good care of it.

Reunion with English teacher

 The day before yesterday, I had an opportunity to meet up with Chris.

Yusuke Habu: assignments Varmints

Setting: the time, you could decide the time. But probably the modern society.
             where is a land. ( At the beginning it was a land where there are no creations of rabbits.
             But 5 minutes later, it becomes a city.)

             little things sometimes create a magnificent thing in your life or society.

Concert

I wil go to concert of my favorite artist today. It's gonna star at 6 p.m, also my class will finished around 4 half p.m. The concert will be held Yokohama Arena. It takes 1.5 hours to go there. I wanted to buy goods of them, but I gave up it. Also, I need to harry up to go there. This is the first time to go their concert. I'm really looking forward to seeing it without being goods. I hope I can enjoy it!

Varmints

After that, they  don't realize their real circumstance, and they live forever like happy. 

The theme of this story is environmental. it's difficult for us to feel environmental problem as visible thing.  However environmental exist all over the world certainly. These animals realize that there is no air pollution, because it is invisible. 

Varmints means the thing which harms anything.

Exhibition of Japanese Calligraphy

Last Sunday, I went to exhibition of Japanese Calligraphy held in Ginza. There were more than 100 works. They were all written by our teachers or calligraphers, so I was impressed so much.  I would like to write works that give people deep emotion someday.

Fantastic Beasts

This Wednesday, I watched "Fantastic Beasts and where to Find Them".
Airi and Mayu invited me to go with, so I was very happy. The story was a little difficult to understand at first, but it was great and the quality of CG was wonderful. Some beasts was very cute. I love Eddie Redmayne who acted as the main character in this movie. To tell the truth,that was the main reason that I like this movie.If the next series release someday, I will watch it.

Tohoku no shingetsu

We watched part of Tohoku Shingetsu in IE3 class last week. Although I did not experience the Great Tohoku Earthquake because I was abroad, I still felt a great pain as I watched the film. I think the director of Tohoku no shingetsu wanted the audience to understand those invisible feelings the victims have experienced, thus named the film Tohoku no shingetsu, which means new moon in English.

Disney sea

i went to Disney sea on Sunday with my friend and it wa so fun! We wore same outfits and we took a lot of pictures. It was cold but I had so much fun there.

A concert

Yesterday I went to Tokyo Dome to join the concert held by EXO. EXO is a korean male group including chinese. It was my first time to join EXO's concert so I was really exited!
Another good point is that I could meet my friends science high school after a long time.

Yusuke Habu: news article Students mark record scores in math, science

Good evening, everyone.

Varmints

Setting: The  polluted city where strange creatures are living

Conflict: Nature versus City

Symbol: Plant that main character grew is the symbol of the mind that people take care about nature and how to save them. And creatures are symbol of people who started to live in the city and stop

Climax: When many creatures was dying by pollution of city, seeds comes from the plant was be coming the shelter like jellyfish, and they started to save some people who take care plants. Finally, people who was saved started living in the jellyfish shelter.

Irony: People who is living in the city started to be suffered from the pollution. But even they are dying, they can't stop living there and continued to follow the way of  catastrophe.

Theme: When people are living in high developed city, they can't stop their life and continue to keep their life but also their life is emitting polluted gas. That is ruining the world little by little. So, we need the thinking to take care nature, and live together. This way of thinking can help the future of people and the earth.

varmints

story
A little unknown creature is a kind of scientist. One day, other creatures (but they are looked like him) started to make building. Then the field became just artificial town. He started to live there, but he was not satisfied with new life, so he kept studying and bringing up a plant. Eventually, thank of the plant, the creatures evacuate from polluted environment.

literary terms
setting : may be in the future, somewhere.
conflict : the creature versus the society
symbol : varmints- creatures are symbol of human. humans don't like this environment but we don't know how to fight against it and try to figure it out.
climax : when some objects looks like jellyfish got bigger and they became shelters.
irony : even he tried to save his friends, it seems that he could not be helped (finally, he was helped and get into the jelly fish.)
theme : taking care of natural thing can be a key to save environment even it is small and most important thing is human relationship.

Tohoku no Shingetsu

 I was really impressed after watching this video.  I realzed how I am blesssed.
 In English, Shingetsu means new moon. So I think the reason why the author used this term is that we have to think about not only the things we can see but also we can not see because Shingetsu is impossible to see. I don't know what the author really wanted to tell us and the answer, but I came to think and thank to what I can not see in my eyes.

Skittles

Skittles is my favorite candy. It seems unhealthy and I guess actually it is unhealthy, but I dont care because its really tasty.

Tohoku no Shingetsu

Shingetsu is a new moon in English. we cannot see a new moon. 
the reason why Linda Ohama chose Shingetsu as a title of her film is that she wanted to try to describe something 
invisible in her film. The struggles people in Tohoku experienced in 2011 are something we never can understand and
 see. Shingetsu is the struggles of the victims of earthquake in 2011.  

Tohoku no shinggetsu

In my opinion, the director of tohoku no shinggetsu named the title because despite the struggles that the victims of the tragedy experienced physically and emotiolly, they still havent lose hope and some of them must face a new life which in other words "new moon" without their love ones that they lost during the tragedy.

new stuff

Last Saturday I went shopping with my mother. It has been long time since I went shopping with mom last time. We went to Saitama-Shintoshin. We bought Christmas stuff and my new shoes. It was precious time for me. These days I have so busy days so we can't spend time together, but when my play finish, I want to go somewhere with my family. I just want to have relaxing time....

Book report

My second book on the report is going to be "I, Robot". The biggest reason why I chose this book is that it has its movie version which Will Smith is acting a main rule in it. Probably I've watched it when I was about 10, I do not have any memory about its story. So this time, I would like to read the book and watch the movie again.

Tohoku no shingetsu

Shingetsu means new moon in English. I think the reason why she named her film about Tohoku as she might wanted people who watched it to feel about something important  which is invisible. Even though other people try to understand the situation or feelings of victims of the earthquake, they can't understand completely because they did not exactly experience the disaster.  As the Jesus Christ says, visible things are limited yet invisible things exist forever. That is why we people suffer the emotional pain even if we get back our daily life after such disasters.

Snow

Yesterday, it was snow day. It's some strange and for the first time in 45 years in Tokyo. Before I really like to snow ,so when it's snow day, i was really excited and play with my friends a lot. However I don't like it. I don't know why.

Birthday plan for my friend

My friend's birthday is coming soon, so I'm thinking about the day. I'm thinking what Inpresent her. I I want to make her birthday special, because she's gonna become 20 years old. Actually, I asked her, and she said she want to eat delicious food! BUT she is so busy... I think it's difficult to take her somewhere... what should I do!!!

Tohoku no Shingetsu

Shingetsu means new moon. we can't see the first day moon. However, it is actually on the sky. Why is the title Tohoku no Shingetsu? The reason is that people can't see hearts and minds of people. Although we can't see hearts directly, it's so important thing. I can feel warm heart of Tohoku people in that video.

Tohoku no Shingetsu

Last Friday, we watched Tohoku no Shingetsu. I realized how sad and terrible the accident was again. In this week, there were some earthquakes and they caused tsunamis. People in Fukushima could act rapidly because of their experiences in the past.
I think "shingetsu" is the symbol of the situation in Tohoku, which we don't n't see. "Shingetsu" is invisible moon. And there are a lot of things about the incident we don't know.

Snow!

It snowed yesterday! It was freezing and I almost cried because it was too cold. But I enjoyed the snow. I wanted to build a snowman but snow didn't piled up that much

Tohoku no shingetsu

She said she used word shingetsu because shingetsu is the moon which does not appear in the sky. However, it is there. It is not disappearing. Tohoku is the same. Although we can't see situation in tohoku, it is true that earthquake happened and many people suffered from it. We can't by forget about it.

HUNGRY

I don't have much time to eat lunch but I am starving!!! But I'm going to eat steak tonight so I trying not to eat too much until dinner!!! My part time job is a restaurant and the diches there are amazing!! The restaurant is called Hungry Tiger. I reccomend you to go! Unfortunately you need to go to Kanagawa to find it.

Freezing!

It snowed yesterday!!!!!  The said that it hasn't snowed in November in Tokyo for about half a century! The snow was beautiful but the air was freezing. The coldness is telling me that Christmas is almost there!!!!!

Tohokunoshingetu

The "Shingetu" which is new moon in English is a symbol of somethiong that cannot be seen  but it is there. Tohoku has been destroied by the earth quake but the warmness and the hope and the people is still there.

After the class finishes

I'm going to COMCRAPE, where they sell crape. I have an irresistible passion for crape and above all, I'm fascinated with the name " buryure ". I am sure that it tastes good!

Tohoku no Shingetsu

This lecture made me remember the day, 3. 11, which I almost forgot and when the earthquake happened.

The area in which I suffered from the disaster greatly, but I was made to realize that that in Tohoku area was much more than ours and felt as if I were one of the victims by watching the screen.

I hope Tohoku area will be rebuilt as soon as possible, and I will take action for this area to be rebuilt.

Tohoku no Shingetsu

The special lecture on last Friday remided me the terrible earthquake in Tohoku. Even now, I remenber the moment when it happened clearly. After 3 years it occured, our family went to Tohoku for sightseeing. But it had not recovered at all, the remains of houses that were carried away by tsunami were still a lot. I was shocked the situation and I learned how awful the natural disaster is. So the image of that lecture told the importance of spreding our experience and of hearing the story of people in Tohoku.

In my opinion, Shingetsu symbolized the truth that could not be seen superficially.  Shingetsu is a moon that  cannot be seen after full moon.  People living in Tohoku are trying to save their culture after the earthquake. They have a firm faith to do that and love for their hometown. However the faith and the anxiety of people cannot be seen, they are existent. I think that is similar to the Shingetsu.

it's snowy!

When I woke up in the morning, it snowed and I was surprized because the news said previous snow in November is the winter of 1962. That is 54 years ago! Maybe this is very rare experience!

Tohoku no Shingetsu

Linda Ohama's talk about her movie and the earthquake hit northern Japan in 2011 was really moved me. I knew that how miserable the disaster was through the news but her perspective was so unique because she stayed the damaged area for long period of time and she got the opportunity to get to know directly how the people there felt, or thought. This made her movie moving and impressive.
I think the meaning of "shingetsu" is the power of people. The new moon is invisible but that is the start of the road to the full moon. The people of Tohoku never gave up and tried to rebuild their lives. The revival of Tohoku is still going on and someday, I suppose she thinks they will definitely revive their hometown.

Snow

I felt really impressed when I watched snow this morning, and also depressed because I had to walk

through this weather to arrive at university. As I imagined, train was delayed and I arrived late time.

Actually I like snow weather, but I hope it without school days.

Touhoku no Shingetsu

 Last Friday, we went to watching the talking of Rinda Ohama about her movie Touhoku no

Shingetsu.This movie and her story makes me re-thinking about Touhoku earthquake. I found that

she is really thinking about this desaster and people who was suffered by it. This movie told us the

reality of the disaster area after happenning this disaster soon. I really impressed the feeling of  the

people who was in the disaster area, and felt really sorry about that. This movie was great beacause it

tells us reality of this earthquake and makes thinking about that.

Tohoku no Shingetsu

Last Friday was a lecture at Honda international conference hall. The lecture and a piece of the movie
moved me. I already know about the giant earthquake in Tohoku 2011. But I don't know specific cases. Again I thought I have to remember and remind about the disaster. It has past already 5 years since it has occurred, I thought it is not so long time but we started to forget. It was a good opportunity to remind it again.

Shingetsu is new moon in English. New moon cannot be seen from us, but it has great power. She just wanted to say Tohoku has great hidden power there. And I think the word "shingetsu" have an impression like God or something and beautiful for me. I really like this idea and I want to see this movie.

Good morning, everyone.

Yusuke Habu: book report suggestion

Good evening, everyone.

I have two choices for my second book report. One is treasure island, and second is the scarlet letter.

Tohoku no Shingetsu

 I still remember the day when earthquake happened.
It was a way home from school. I soon came back to school and waited for the situation calm down.
But it was not just earthquale, nuclear power problem was also happen. It was difficult for most students to go home because of traffic confusion and aftershock.
I surprised that big earthquake happened after a long time yesterday. When I think about people in Tohoku, my heart aches a lot.
We should not forget this experience and learn from it. I thought that this movie is a good way
to let people know about eaethquake disaster "2011,3,11".

reading comic books

Recently I watched a movie with friend, and she recommended me to read the original comic of the movie. I started reading it on Sunday, and it is so interesting and exciting. I don't often read comics, but once I started reading, I am going into them. I am one of the fun of Japanese comics. I think even it is comic, reading paper is important part of my life.

Camera

I bought a new camera few weeks ago and I enjoy taking photograph these days. The camera that I bought is called Lomography, which can makes me take analogue photos. It is so creative and I like it very much!

My cousin is living in Fukushima

I thought that the earthquake was just a dream but then when I tuned on the tv and saw the news, I was shocked because the earthquake really happened for real. I quickly contacted by cousin in Fukushima and asked her if she's okay and she said she was but she got dizzy because of the shake. Thank God nothing bad happened to her and theres no casualties for now.

the lost thing

the theme of this short movie is that we are too busy to care about surrounding, so we have to pay more attention to everything. I think the lost thing become a lot of thigs which we often forget.

Jazz piano

I practice the jazz piano for a while but it's really hard!
First of all, you have to memorize several forms of each chords. This is really complicated. When you use chords in actual playing, you must recall them and decide which code you use in a second because the song doesn't wait for you.  Playing jazz piano is so difficult but fun! I wanna improve my playing more.

shopping with father

Last Sunday, I went shopping to the Laketown in Koshogaya,Saitama, with my father. The reason I went with him was that just he was free. I used to go out with my father when I was young because my mother worked weekends, so the shopping reminded me my youth.  The only thing that is different from when I was younger was that I drove the car on the way to the shopping mall and to home. Anyway, it was more enjoyable than I had thought.

Quotes from the great Gatsby novel

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further...And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Kairo

These days, it getting cold suddenly. Every  winter, I bring kairo everyday. But when I talked with Hinako, we wondered how can we say kairo in English and if foreigners know it.  If they don't have kairo, I want to tell them this Japanese wonderful invention!

The lost thing

The theme is that people should more look toward their surroundings. In this story, they care too much about themselves and can't see what was happening around them. So be careful, or they will commit a huge blunder.

Sunday Morning

 I recommed one song that you should listen  in Sunday morning that is Sunday Morning from Maroon 5. It's melody makes you relaxing, and lazy, like Sunday morning.
Maybe you have listened this melody because it was music of one of the commercial in Japan, I suppose. Maroon 5 is also good band. If you are interested in, please check it.

Aoyama festival

The last day of Aoyama festival, we Adler had a dance performance on the stage. I had a lot of fun. Did everyone see our performance? If so, I'm happy!

The lost thing

The theme of this movie is Don't forget to pay attention to something great around you. In this movie,  
people except the main character and his family didn't notice the existence of the creatures. This is because they were paying attention only to their own things and jobs. The busyness can make people blind. The main character became the blind person at the end, it's an irony.

The Lost Thing

The theme of this short film is that people in today's world care too much about theirselves and never pays attention to the things around them. Like what happened in this film, if we look around more, we could face a novel situatons, which will take us to a place we have never been before. Only concentrating on your own work will never expand your perspectives and imaginations.

11/3

Yesterday was my birthday. Because November 3 is usually a public holiday, it was unusual for me to come to scool and meet my friends on my birthday. During the time between 2nd period and 5th period, I went to school festival at Sophia University. There, I met my friends from high school, and they wished me a happy birthday. Then, after finishing th IE class in 5th period, my friends from IE class celebrated my birthday! That was so sweet of them:) So, I would like to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday!

The lost thing

I think the theme of this story is that pay more attention to our close things. We often take our situation for granted and forget appropriating to them. In this story, almost all the characters forget the existence around them and went selfish. So we have to be aware of existence around us and appropriate them for their supports.

The lost thing

the message of the story is reflecting to us people in our generations which the society is so developed and people are busy doing their own things in life but people doesnt pay attention to the surroundings. There are people and things that needs help and most of us tend to ignore and doesnt give care about it. For me,  " the lost thing" is reffered to the people and things that needs people's help. However despite of the people who neglect, there are people who still cares and find way to help them, like the protagonist in the story. So in my opinion,  the theme is, it is important to pay attention to the surroundings and we may see things that we cannot usually see in our daily lives and we should do something about it because we will not know that we are the one who can only help them.

Seasonal frappuccino

Today I went to Starbucks to drink new seasonal flavor with my friend. It is named "snow pecan nuts frappuccino." It was tasty. There are a lot of sirup on the bottom. So when you drink it, don't forget to mix. Please try it!

The Lost Thing

The theme is people should pay attention to other things more. In the movie, people ignore the lost thing because they are so busy. They only think about themselves. However, they  have to help each other originally. So they should have wider perspectives.

School festival

Last weekend, Aoyama university festival was held. I'm not belong to any club, so I don't have my job that day. I wanted to go there. However, on Froday, it was raining, it was so cold. So I didn't go there. On Saturday and Sunday, I had part time jobs. I had never been to school festival since attending university. I try to go there again ext year! I hope I can go.

My father's birthday

It was my father's birthday yesterday. I bought some cakes for him to surprise him. He looked happy to be celebrated. He said, "I don' want to age." I hope that he will live long and healthy.

the lost thing

The theme of this animation is the selfishness of this world. Although, we should help each others even if they have other cultual background, in this animation, the people who try to find something for robot is only boy.

I'm exited...

October and November have a lot of wonderful events. On this weekend, I'm going to go to disney
 with my members of club activity. Whenever I think about it, I get so exited that I cannot sleep well!

School festival

I had such a great time at the school festival. I performed a dance in front of many people and it was so exciting!!! Some of my friends came to see me and that made me so happy. I also went to see Yoshihiko's dance performance and it was so cool.

The Lost Thing

I thought the theme of this animation is the lack of awareness against our surroundings.
This is because no one cared about the lost thing except the boy.I thought this describes how much people don't care about the world around us.

The lost thing

I think the theme of this video is to do something for the others. In this video, people looked very busy and never cared about the others, only passing by, even if the distance was near. It warns we tend to focus on the tasks and shut down the things which is not related to ourselves. The man helped the machine which nobody was cared about and he searched its home together,which is thought to be unusual. So, I think this video tried to tell us that the importance of cooperation.

The lost thing

The theme of this video is emotion between people and thing.
Though main character cared about thing which he picked up, people around him didn't care about it and owner of the thing didn't appear.
It seems that main character couldn't find the owner,but the things finally found the place where it can stay.
It also describe the friendship.

Snowboard

I might wrote about this topic in older post, but the time for snowboardign is coming, and I want to snowboard as soon as possible. My motivation is getting higher s the time have passed. I want to buy the new board for this season, so I am thinking of which board will I buy.

So cold

Winter is coming and it is already too cold! I can't get out from my bed in the morning. I think I should start wearing UGGS to school.

The lost thing

I think the topic of the lost thing is importance of having pure heart. These days, we are all too busy living our lives and we don't really see the world with pure heart. It is important to have a space in our heart to look around the world more carefully so that we would be able to see something  wonderful.

Part time job

I did my part time job after five period. Today's five class finished so early,so I can go to shibuya with my friend. Today, there were few staff but a lot of customer came our store, so it's really busy. 

After that, my progenitor took me to restaurant! We had "Gyoza", it was very nice. 

The lost thing

Setting: in the world which has a lot of machines anywhere and it may be future than our cognitive world.
Conflict: the main character, boy against the society.
Symbol: men like police symbolize the negative aspect of social power. The boy and one machine showed strong relationship.
Irony: the boy looked at the machine and they cooperated each other,however a lot of machines was supposed to dangerous, so they didn't have to be together.
Climax: the machine had gone to himself world, so the boy and machine had separate forever.
Theme: there are people who they think what it seems to dangerous and strange by society is important and as treasure. We need to think about minority.

Halloween

I went to Roppongi with my friends in halloween costume on October 29. Actually, I don't like the atmosphere in shibuya, so I prefer Roppongi area. Our costume is like priest and we were took by many people on the street. And we stayed up all night at here. I exhausted so well and I was asleep till 1pm, so I couldn't go to school festival lol.

Concert

Yesterday I went to Yokohama arena with a friend of mine to enjoy a concert held by f(x). f(x) is a group from korea that consists of 4 females. They are so multiple group. One is Korean, another is Chinese, another is Korean American and the other is Taiwanese American.
Not only the concert, but also I really enjoyed meeting my friend. So I am really glad.

My favorite soccer team

Today, there were the final match of J league this year, and my favorite team called Urawa Reds defended the first place of the ranking. My family has been a big fan of the team for a long time, so we're so happy! There will be a final tournament to be a champion this year.

the lost thing

This is so strange movie for me. And maybe it can be interpreted in various ways.
Setting is somewhere in a developed city.  A restrained man found a strange creature.
I think the theme of this movie is related with suitable places for every thing.
Although the strange, doglike creature looks inappropriate for the man's city and is treated as a foreign body, the man took it to its bright, comfortable place for the lost thing.
I think it means that everything has an suitable place and role, even if you cannot be suited to your community or society. When the lost thing found the place, the room was filled with great vigor. But in fact, we usually have a hard time trying to find the most suitable place, just like the eccentric man who couldn't make full use of his talent.

November

Finally, November started. These days it's very cold and temperatures difference is intense afternoon and night. So it's hard to choose my clothes in every morning. I wanna buy some sweaters and outerwear.

Yusuke Habu: assignment#7 the lost thing

setting: A society which has a lot of machines, the time is probably expressing our time in my point of view.

conflict: The main character(the boy) vs society

climax: The main character (the boy) brought the moving machine home.

symbol: The main character symbolizes himself but the other characters symbolize people who do   not care about machines and other things. In other words, probably, expressing the majority of people.

irony: At the end, eventually the main character( the boy) and the machine got separate and they said goodbye to each other.

theme: I think we are dividing everything into "useful for us" or "not useful for us" in our daily lives.

Halloween

I didn't join in the costume parade in Shibuya, but I heard the news that the road was jammed with cheerful people in Halloween costumes.
I was relieved to hear that they were well-mannerd about the issue of trash or noise.
Frankly speaking, I think that Japanese people are good at introducing foreign customs to Japan. It makes Japanese custom more original because they completely adapt foreign events, and then adopt it as a whole original one like Japanese Halloween.

School festival

We had school festival last weekend. In my circle, we sold fried spring rolls, held a ghost house and made exhibition. My role was to explain people what our circle is and how we act in the exhibition space. It was the first school festival for me, so I was surprised to see a lot of people in my university. I was excited very much.

Halloween wiz agu girls

 Yesterday was Halloween.
I went to restaurant with my friends to do halloween party and celebrate my friend's birthday.
My friends and me disguised devil, black cat, rabit and so on.
We also went to Shibuya to see people who come to there to celebrate halloween.
It was so crowded and crazy!!
After that we went to friend's house to do sleep over. Though we were tired  we enjoyed chatting.
Someday I want to experience real halloween day!

Halloween

I watched news about traffic regulation in Shibuya this morning because too many cosplaying people will be coming. I don't want to be involved with crowded train, so I'm planning to go home quickly.

school festival

From October 28th to 30th, school festival was held at our university. Our circle,Shanti Shanti, sold Harumaki which tasted curry and banana. I was surprised that there were many people at main street. It was hard to prepare the store, but it was fun!!

Happy halloween everyone

I was planning to go to the Aoyama fest but my strained lower back didn't let me go. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Wish you all the best

the them of "the lost thing"

My opinion of the theme of "the lost thing" is the importance of cherishing character. The object which found by a man is a symbol of character. Everything in their city is looks same.  Eventually, he and the machine(?) discovered colorful, bright, and vibrant world.  These days, people is too busy to think about what we are. This movie alerts the dangerousness of the life like ours. The colorful world was so attractive to us and the man. Because the city in this video is not interesting. We are all finding our character.

One of my favorite quotes

"The struggle you are facing is a test to see if you are truly committed to the life you say you want."

Im having a very painful lower backache and despite of that, I passed the driving test at the driving school so my effort was very worth it though I was walking like an old person😭

Udon

Actually, I remembered I did have something special today. During the time between classes, I went to eat curry udon(noodles) with my friend in Aoyama. We've been wanting to go there, so this is really a special day:)  It was very tasty and it was nothing like the curry udon I have eaten before.

Friends

Since I did not have anything special today, I will talk about two of my friends from primary school. These days, I have been going out for dinner with them once a week! We still have a lot of plans coming up, such as to go to Disney land! I never thought we will become so close after entering Uni, but I'm so glad that I have friends like them. We can talk about our memories from primary school and we can even talk about serious topics like about life:) I'm sure that they will be my life time friends!

Yusuke Habu: Board games on roll at schools, workplaces

Good evening, everyone.
I think it is a good idea to understand people's abilities through games because I believe through games, we can look personalities and specialties which we can only know through games, we can see something different from conversation.

Disaster!!!

Yesterday was one of the worst day I've ever had.

I usually wake up at 4:30 in order to do Lacrosse practice. But yesterday, when I woke up and looked at my iPhone, the display showed 5:30!!!! I was terribly confused and couldn't believe what I've done at the moment. Besides, my phone wasn't stop ringing because my teammates made phone call to wake me up. That sound made me feel uncomfortable and more confusing. Anyway I had to catch my taxi cab to arrive our lacrosse ground on time, so I run down my house's stairs to go. The accident was happened at that moment. I fall over half way though to ground floor and twisted my left ankle.

My ankle requires 2~3 weeks for recovery, so I have to stop playing lacrosse at that term. I learned from this experience that how dangerous running down the stairs is. That is terrible!!!!

The fan and the flower

Setting: somewhere in the house 

Conflict: The flower and the fan vs society

Symbol: The flower symbolizes the importance of following own will.

Irony: The ironical part is that although the flower tried to approach the fan, an old woman disturbed it.

Climax: Eventually the flower became its looks like the fan.

Theme: Never give up on your wish

school festival

I saw some entries about school festival and I think all you are exited about school festival. But I just want to sleep ;D Because there are more important performance than school festival in November and December. My club perform at the festival too, but I won't participate in it. The three days will be just relaxing days for me.

School Festival

 I visited my graduated junior and high school on Sunday. Because it was school festival.
I haven't visisited my school since I graduated at the end of March, so I felt nostalgic.
It was really good to see my old friends and teachers!! Chatting with them brought me  back memories.
Of course I enjoy university life, but I really wanna back to those days.

October 22nd

October 22nd is my birthday!! A lot of people celebrated my birthday, including my friends concerned until now and my seniors and friends of my circle and the day became a wonderful day!!!
I'm still waiting for comments "Happy birthday!!!!"  haha

ready for aoyama festival

as all you may know, aoyama festival is on Friday to Sunday this week. I am going to play keyboad and now I'm practicing. I'm pretty excited and looking forward to it.

WORLD PRESS PHOTO 16

Yesterday, I went to Tokyo photograohic art museum and saw the exhibition titled "WORLD PRESS PHOTO 16". I was really impressed by some photos but especially, the photos of Ukrainian girl and ruins there was wonderful. These were taken by Japanese photographer and he used the film abandoned several decades ago at radioactive contamination area in Chernobyl, Ukraine. These photos clearly reminded me of Fukushima nuclear disaster. The girl on the photo actually had inherent disabilities caused by her mother being exposed to radioactivity. Maybe in the near future, we will face the same problem as this country did.

Yusuke Habu: news article 77% of online news readers use cell phones

Good evening, everyone.

Through this article, I thought there are many people who consider cell phone as a tool for instant work like checking informations you want, the simple things. At the same time, I thought there are many people who consider computer as a tool for modern heavy work like making reports or documents. This means work when you sit down on a chair for a long time.
I realized the gap between 10 years ago and now.
