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.

crape with masamichi

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.

On the way to Shibuya, we went to American Apparel. The shop will withdraw soon from Japan. After going there, we walked to Shibuya station again. It was very good time!

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.

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.

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.

Logorama

The message of the video is about industries all over the wod destroying our planet. Companies and factories are a big factors in polluting our environment and on this video, it is expressing it indirectly. We may not experience the tragedies that caused by the industries now but it might happen soon in the future.

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

Conflict: Macdonald (a criminal) vs. Micheline (policemen)

Irony: After driving so fast, Macdonald dropped into crack. And many characters also dropped.

Theme: In our society, a lot of companies control our lives and it might destroy the world in the future.

cold days

my limbs become cold very easily so I'm suffering from this cold days recently.

logorama

Conflict: Donald vs the other companies' characters

Irony: After the battle between Donald and  the others started, the ground began to split.

Theme: The commercial society can be broken easily by environmental power.


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.

logorama

Conflict : Donald from McDonald is against other character
Theme : one small company can make the world collapsed from the environmental aspect.
Irony : After Donald fell down to the gap of the ground, the earth started to erupt.

varmints

The theme of this short film is that we have to pay attention to the nature and emvironment. We have to consider the balances between nature and economic growth.

logorama

conflict: commercial world vs itself

irony: Everyone in the city was living peacefully at first, then McDonald's ruined the city's atmosphere. however, a big earthquake occurred and destroyed everything but two people.

theme: Recent commercial world can be broken easily.

varmints

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.

Yusuke Habu



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.

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.

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.
He is an English teacher whom I met in California 3 years ago. I joined English program in the U.S few weeks, and he worked at there as a staff.

They grew and grew and eventually created a beautiful field within it. The creature began his life on a beautiful field again.

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.)

Conflict: Rabbits vs nature

Climax: In the city, the jellyfish kind of thing sent the rabbits who really care about the environment
              and make a place what it was at the beginning for them.

Symbols: Rabbits symbolize human, and the jellyfish kind of thing symbolizes the heart of the person
                who really wants to protect nature.

Irony: The rabbits destroyed the land which was full of nature, and eventually they all got sick
           because of the air pollution.

Theme: Do not give up, do not lose hope. When you wish something and do your best for it, the light
             will come for you.
             
             Sometimes it seems little things are meaningless for the environment or anything, but these
             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. 

Dinner Time!

Conflict: the creature vs the environment

Symbol: the flower is a symbol of loneliness of the creature

Climax: when the creature came not to catch up with the change of the environment and were dying, he was saved by a shelter, which looks like jellyfish.

Irony: when the creature tried to help other one out, the other one was probably alredy saved by a shelter and conversely he was left behind and found himself in a pinch.

Theme: the creatures cannot manipulate the environment freely, so they need to prepare for the disaster as much as possible.

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.

When I saw this article, I was shocked that students nowadays are good at math and science.
I think this is happening because many people start to think things with numbers.
It was very interesting.

 Library is really helpful for doing my assighment, because it is opened until late night.
For me, It is really defficult do my studying at home because I become relaxing in there and I can't to do anything about studying. And also cafe is helpfull place to focus on studying for me. Where is your best place for your studying?

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
