My favorite Japanese actor

Go Ayano is my favorite Japanese actor. I first saw him on the screen when he was acting in Asadora from NHK. He was very handsome and I was fascinated by him. I like his voice. His voice is very gentle. Also he is eyes is some kind of sad and painful. So think he is a suitable actor of love story.

Also, I like Erika Sawahiri. She is the most beautiful actress I have ever seen. In the past, she was hated by the press because her attitude towards them was horrible. And after she got married she kept away from the screen but recently she has come back. She came back as a wonderful and nice actress and I like her very much. She was a trouble maker but now she has grown and fascinated people.

Information skills.

I love Monday because I only have one class.
At the first semester, I always went straight back home but at this semester, after my class finish,
I`m going to go to the computer room to do my information skills.

Since I`m not good at using the computer, it isn`t easy for me to acquire computer skills but I want to
earn my information skills credit as soon as possible.

Good Night.

Ramen Museum

On Saturday, I went to Ramen Museum in Shin Yokohama with my club members.
It was my first time visiting Ramen Museum. There were so many ramen shops inside the museum so it was hard deciding which to eat. I chose miso ramen and it was delicious.
 I also liked the atmosphere of old townscape. It made me feel like I was in a different time.
I had so much fun and it was great visiting there!

Oktapodi

Setting: Summer in Greece.
Characters: Two octopuses, a man
Conflict: Octopus vs. Human
Climax: The man's truck crushed into the sea and two octopuses were safe.
Irony: Two octopuses got away from the man, but another enemy comes and takes the orange octopus away.
Symbol: Octopus represents the criticial feeling  of an animal that gets eaten by human.
Theme: Always be greatful for what we eat.

Oktapodi

We watched a short video, "Oktapodi".

Theme: The food chain. All living things try hard to survive but the relationship between each of them is just "to eat" or "be eaten". It sounds a bit merciless, while it shows dynamic vitality.

Conflict: Octopuses vs. other animals which try to eat them.

Setting: This story is set in present-day Greece. We can see many beautiful houses which are painted all white; it is characteristic of the Mediterranean style architecture. Also the title is written in Greek. The man is driving a car, therefore the story is set in the present day.

Character: The main character are two octopuses; the orange one (male, I guess) and the pink one (female). Others are two enemies. The man who intends to sell the pink one and the seagull which takes away the orange one at the end of the story.

Climax: The climax is the very last part. As orange octopus is taken away by the seagull. Once we are relieved that they can escape from the man, though, unexpected enemy appears right away. It surprises us very much indeed.

Irony: I think there are two points. First, people's defeat in the story. Generally humans are regarded as the top of the food chain. So it is incredible that two octopuses overcome a man. Moreover, he finally falls into the sea where octopuses inhabit; it is completely reversal.
Second, the uncertainty of two octopuses' life. This story ends with the scene that seagull picks one of them up and fly away. Although they won the man, more closer enemy threatens their life soon after. We cannot expect the ending; they may survive or not. Thus it relates to the irony.

Oktapodi

Setting: A city at Greece in summer time. 

Character: A male octopus, a female octopus and a tradesman who sells octopuses. Two octopuses are a couple.

Conflict: Two octopuses versus the tradesman. A tradesman is trying to separate them.

Symbol: I think symbols in this animation are octopuses. Octopuses are symbolizing the weak people. Throughout this animation, I learned that the weak can defeat the strong.

Climax: After the male octopus ran after the car a tradesman rode in, two octopuses were luckily able to escape from the car. The climax is the scene.  

Irony: Although two octopuses were able to escape from the tradesman and felt relived, instead of a 
female octopus, the male octopus were kidnapped by a seabird.

Theme: Don’t be relieved right away. I think this is the first theme. The second theme is that the weak can defeat the strong if the weak are struggling.

                    a female actopus
                    a man who drives a car

Climax: Two octopuses tried to escape from a man. Two octopuses were finally saved because a man fell into the sea. Two octopuses were looking each other and felt relief. This is the climax in this story.


Symbols: Octopuses are the symbol in this story. Octopuses represent love. Two octopuses fought against a man using their soft bodies however hard it is. It indicates the power of love never failed.


Irony: The irony in this film is when two octopuses finally saved from a man, and they felt relieves. However, in that moment, the male octopus was taken away by a bird.


Theme: Theme in this film is “ Human should thank animals more, and eat food.”

                This short film taught me animals have feeling as well as human. It is usual for human to eat food, but we have to recognize there was a victim. 

Oktapodi

Setting: Somewhere in Greece near the ocean.

Characters: A male and a female octopus, and a man.

Conflict: The two octopuses vs the man.

Irony: octopuses thought they sucseeded from being killed but then another enemy arrives.

Theme: One misfortune followed close on the heels of another.

Celeste and Jesse Forever

I watched Celeste and Jesse Forever. Has anyone seen this movie before?
It is an American movie from 2012. The story is about married best friends, Celeste and Jesse, who are now going through a divorce. Although, they are still a best friends. They both start going out with different person but can't stop thinking about each other.

I really liked the movie! It's worth watching it. I want to marry someone I can have a friendship like Celeste and Jesse's. Though, I don't like the ending. It is not a bad ending but not my kind of ending either.




Oktapodi

Setting: in Greece, 2007 (year that the movie was made)

Characters: the Orange Octopus, the Pink Octopus, and the Human
The Orange Octopus and the Pink Octopus are in love with each other. The Human is a predator. He wants to cook the octopus.

Climax: two octopuses survive from being cooked and eaten. The human falls into the sea.

Symbols: Octopus; symbol of food, bravery

Irony: Two octopuses survive but when they think they can finally be together, a seagull take the Orange one away.

Theme: Be grateful for food. I think this film wants to tell us that food also has feeling and to be thankful for being able to eat pretty much anything we want. That is why the ungrateful human falls into the sea.

            the bird came to take the female octopus.

Most atractive city


Do you have favourite city you’ve been before? If you don’t know yet and want to visit somewhere, I strongly think you should go to Hakodate, the most attractive city in Japan.

A company in Tokyo carried out a survey which has 77 questions like “do you want to live in the city?” or “do you want to go there for a trip?” Nearly 30 thousand people participated in it and the company released the result last month. Hakodate ranked the best as well as last year. Hakodate was followed by Sapporo, Kyoto, Yokohama and Otaru (3 Hokkaido cities in top 5!). Here's the link of the news http://tiiki.jp/news/05_research/survey2015/2855.html

 Some might wonder why this rural area was voted but actually Hakodate is a great city. Fresh and nice food, perfect weather; not too hot/cold, many old and beautiful places to visit and the view from Mt. Hakodate is stunning!

 Hokkaido Shinkansen will be opened next year and it will make it easier to get to Hakodate. Visit my hometown guys!

Okutapodi

Setting: It takes place somewhere in Greece. I think it is in summer because the man was wearing a tank top.

Conflict: I think it is mainly the two octopus against the man. At first the male octopus fight to help the female octopus from the man. Towards the end I can indicate that it will change to female against the bird.

Climax: The climax was when two octopus escaped from the truck.

Symbols: two octopus which represents true love.

Irony: Two octopus can't be together so easily.

Theme: You can overcome difficulties with love.

Riding


I started riding when I was in elementary school. It is very interesting for me. 
Club members have to take care of a lot of horse by turns. 
Our activity starts in the early morning. 
We have to assemble at the riding ground at 6:30. 
It is very hard work, but it is very attractive sport for me. 
On Monday, we practice jumping some hurdles with horse.
















Last week, I went to Nagano to practice riding with our club members. Captain of the cavalry taught us how to ride more nicely. 

I try my best to be a good rider.

About my childhood.



One of my favorite countries is the UK.

When I was little I lived in London for two years and a half because of my father`s business trip.

I was only at the age of three when I moved to London

I didn`t go to a Japanese school because my parents wanted me and my sister to go to a local school.

At first it was hard for me to get along with other students because there were no Japanese student except me. However little by little I started to enjoy my life there and being able to communicate using English.

 
In London,I loved the park, street, buildings.....everything! Everything was
so beautiful.
 
Although people usually say that the food is not so good, I liked it a lot.

Since I came back to Japan, I haven`t had the chance to visit there again.
I still sometimes contact with my friends who I met there, and really hope to see them again.

I will save money and definitely go to the UK and travel around!!!

Tokyo Disney Sea with one of my friends :)

              After finishing IE core classes yesterday, I went to Tokyo Disney Sea with one of my friends, Makoto. She was my classmate when I was a high school student. We have already visited Tokyo Disney Resort twice. When we were first-grade students, we went to Tokyo Disney Sea. When we were second-grade students, we went to Tokyo Disney Land. So, it was third visit.

              We always decide to hang out suddenly. In this case, we decided to go there last Wednesday because weather forecast around TDS turned into cloudy. We used the ticket called after-six passport. Using this passport, we can enter the park from 18 o’clock. This passport is about 2,500 yen cheaper that one-day passport. Yesterday, TDS is not crowded very much. Soon after entering the park, we can get fast-pass of Tower of Teller. We were finally able to ride 6 attractions, Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, The Magic Lamp Theater, Indiana Jones Adventure, StormRider and Tower of Teller. Fortunately, we were able to sit the very front seat when we rode Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, The Magic Lamp Theater, Indiana Jones Adventure and Tower of Teller. We were sooooooo happy!!!

              TDS is now in Halloween season. So, the park is decorated with Halloween ornaments. In addition, a lot of limited-time souvenir are sold. I bought a popcorn basket shaped Mr. Potatohead disguised as a Dracula. The basket is so cute :) What is more, we can move Mr. Potatohead’s mouth and eyebrows. In addition to the popcorn basket, I bought famous teddy bears called Daffy and Shelliemay. Halloween Daffy and Halloween Shelliemay wear special costume. I bought them for my mother too. My mother likes Disney and also likes Daffy and Shellimay. I hope it will be happy for my mother to receive them.

              When it comes to food we ate, firstly we ate “Ukiwa-man”. It looks like an air bladder and includes shrimps. Both Makoto and I like it. Secondly, we ate a spicy turkey leg. When we were first-grade students, it was for the first time to eat it. So, this time was for the second time. I never failed to eat it when I went to go TDL. The las one is Gyoza-dog. This Gyoza-dog was Halloween version.  
              Now, I’m planning to go to Tokyo Disney Land. When I go there, I want to enjoy TDL all day long. I want to ride more and more attraction than yesterday. 

My summer vacation

I went to our IE classmate, Akane's house with two friends in summer! I live in Saitama prefecture, and she lives in Chiba prefecture, so I took about 3 hours to go to her house. During 2 days, I drive a car going some shops. We celebrated our friend's birthday at that day, and they celebrated my birthday at that night. Since I didn't know they would celebrated me, I was very surprised. We enjoyed talking until the midnight. We're going to go a pool at the next day, but when we got up, the time was 11 o'clock:( So we went to karaoke, giving up going there. Although the plan was changed, I had a very good time with my friends. We're going to go snowboarding in the next spring vacation! I'm very looking forward for it.

My grandfather


Hello.

Today, I went to my grandparent’s house to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday.

My mother and I was going to go to the restaurant, but my grandmother had a strained back yesterday.

So we gave up going to the restaurant because she could not move.

We bought many foods which my grandfather loves. Although he is 77 years old, he eat a lot.

His favorite food are Sushi and White gratin. He was really pleased to eat those.


My grandparents ran a meat shop before. When I was a child, my grandparents and I often cooked hamburgers. It was very beautiful memories. In Christmas season, my grandfather cooked a turkey for me. Those were very delicious.

I love my grandfather because he is always kind to me and he made me laugh. I want to make more memories while he is fine. I hope my grandfather lives until 100 years old or more!
                              ( This picture was taken 16 years ago )

My favorite bird!



     Hi!!  Do you like animals?  Today, I would like to talk about my favorite bird.
     Although, I had  no interest in animals until recently, one image on the Internet changed my attitude toward them.
















     This is the picture. It is so cute, isn't it? This bird is Shimaenaga. Shimaenaga is a white and tiny bird.  It lives in Hokkaido and is  called "fairy of snow". I've been fascinated by Shimaenaga since I found the picture. If you want to see more images, please let me know! I have many cute pictures of Shimaenaga.
 

Hometown

I think my hometown is Chofu, Tokyo. The reason why I am not sure where my hometown is, is because I’ve moved to many places in an early age. After I was born in Tokyo, I moved to Hong Kong, and then Kobe, Yokohama, America, and finally came back to Chofu, Tokyo. So, I think my hometown is Chofu. I think most people don’t know where Chofu is. It is close to Kichijoji and MitakaChofu is famous for soba and GegegenokitarouThere are many delicious sobaya in Chofu. Many famous people come to Chofu to eat soba too. 

Chofu is not a fashionable place, but it is very calm and people are friendly. It is true that there is nothing to do except to eat soba, but I think everyone should come to Chofu once and try soba.

Saying thank you.


Yesterday at the discussion in the IE Listening class, two of my group members, Naomi and Mayu introduced the TED talks called "Remember to say thank you"
 
As you see from the title, it says the importance of saying thank you to our friends and family.

I can say thank you to my friends naturally.
On the other hand, although I always feel a sense of gratitude especially to my mother and father, it is not easy to say it to them directly because it a little bit shy to do so.

However, at the same time, I know that even if I have the feeling of gratitude inside my heart, it would not  be thoroughly conveyed to them if I don`t say aloud.

 
This topic was very good for me to realize the necessity to express my gratitude obediently.

I want to thank you to my family for always supporting me a lot.
Have a nice weekends!

Singapore

 When I was in high school I moved to Singapore because of my father's work. First, I didn't wanted to go. I had many friends in Japan, so I didn't wanted to be apart with them. Although, my parents forced me to move.
 In Singapore, most of the people around me speaks Chinese. I thought that the main language was English, so I was surprised. I went to Japanese high school. First day of the school, I was very nervous, but almost everyone came to talk to me. This helped me a lot. I made many friend in Singapore. Now, I can tell from my heart. I love Singapore.

 

My hobby

 Hello, today, I would like to talk about my hobby. I have 2 hobbies. First hobby is to play sports. I have been playing baseball since I was 5 years old. Baseball is part of my life and I coach little kids every weekend. When you get older, there will be less chance to move your body, so I am glad that I could enjoy baseball and also get healthier.
 Second hobby is to watch T.V. My most relaxing time is when I sit on my couch and watch movies or T.V. programs. I like to watch commedy shows because I want to laugh a lot so that I can forget about all the bad things. I reccomend you guys to watch commedy shows whenever you felt bad.
 Thank you for reading!!

My Dream

When I entered college, I hadn’t decided my occupation yet. When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked children. I also wanted to be a drawer because I liked drawing. My dream changed a lot in my infant stage. However, as I entered middle school, I didn’t know what I want to do in my future. I couldn’t answer when my parents asked me what I want to become in the future. I thought a lot, but couldn’t find my answer. However, I have decided my dream now. I want to become a cabin attendant. The reason why I want to become a cabin attendant is because; I want to use my English skills in my job. Since I am a returnee student, I can speak English better than normal people. So I wanted to use my English skills in my job and improve a lot more. Also, I met many cabin attendants during my lifetime. Since I have been to many places with my family, I often took communications with the cabin attendants. They were always kind to customers and never showed their tiredness. They kept smiling during their works and treated us graciously. By looking many cabin attendants, I thought cabin attendant is not an easy work to do. However, I was fascinated with their work and thought I would like to become like them. I want to try my best to become a cabin attendant.

Do you guys have a dream??

Noryosen♪

 Last thirsday, September 24th, I took on noryosen with my companions of part time job at Dotor Cofee Shop.  Noryosen is a cruising ship around Tokyo Bay. We all wore yukata except me. I have 5th period so I had no much time to wear yukata. It was littele regretable for me.

 There were so many people in noryosen. The atomosphere was like a club. Everybody enjyoyed drinking, dancing, and talking with other unknown people. I talked with other people including foreigners. It was so interesting.
 I have been been open with my co-workers at Dotor. I was so fun!! The landscape from the ship was so beauiful. The ship ran under the rainbow bridge. I enjoyed last summer memory.

Part time job

Hi!! Today I'm going to talk about my part time job. I  work at Italin Restuarant in Shibuya. It is not a expensive Italian so many young people come here. The merit of this restuarant is an all-you-can-drink alcohol, unlimited. So, some customer comes early at noon and leaves at closing time. No matter how much you drink, it only costs 2500 yen. The food is really delicious and cheap too. I recommend pizza and steak there. It is the most popular food in the restuarant and in terms of steak, it always sold out.  However, there is things that I don't like in that restuarant. Since customer can drink alcohol unlimited they get sick and run into toilet. When the toilet got dirty with what you call a throw ups, we have to clean it up. Some restuarant take them cleaning charge to them but we don't do that. Some customer leave their friend sick and they star enjoying drinking again. Drinking is a merit but also a demerit too. However, it is a nice restuarant so I want you to come to were I work!!

Swimming Club

I'm in swimming club as a manager and I would like to talk about it.

There are more than 20 members and 6 of them are managers. We have a practice every morning except Sundays. It starts at 6:45 and ends at 10:30. We have a practice afternoon on Wednesday and Saturday. We mainly use the pool which is in junior high school but in summer we move to outdoor swimming pool in university. My work is mainly taking the time of the swimmers, giving a massage and stretching them. It was my first time to massage people so it was difficult to remember and learn how to do. I'm having fun being in the swimming club but because it starts at very early time it is difficult for me to wake up.

About my twin sister


I have to sisters. They are 25 years old and they are twins. They are identical twins but they don't look like each other. Today I'm going to talk about them. My oldest sister is called Aoi.  She speaks calmly and she is really pure. She  got married this year and  is pregnent now. The doctor said that the baby boy would be born on November, so I am really excited! I will be an aunt in this age!!
Next, I'll tell you about my second oldest sister. Her name is Akane. She is big and rough and scary but sometimes nice. She is not marride yet but she is in love with someone.
Maybe you have already realized. "Realize what?" You may think. About their name. Aoi means blue and Akane means red in English and me..... Wakana. Wakana means young green in English so it is like a traffic light!!  Isn't it funny??
If  I get married and got a child, I might name them Hikari or something because in Japanese,  Hikari means light and it is the image of yellow.
 

Last Weekend

I watched a movie "Any Day Now" last Saturday at my house. Its name in Japanese is "Chocolate Donuts". Do you know it? My favorite actress recommended this movie so I watched it. The movie took a lot of prizes. The story was about a couple of homosexual who want to get and bring up a child of down's syndrome. There were many prejudice and problems for them. The story based on a true story. I moved very much and thought many things. If you have a chance, I recommend this movie for you.  Thank you for reading.

A dream while sleeping

Usually I don't have dreams while sleeping, but had a terrible one this morning.
My father had passed away in a car crash, and me and other family members and my friends were talking about it over dinner.
while listening to their talk I felt tears started shedding from my eyes so, I stood up, left the dinner table and went upstairs.
I was so regretful not having done much to my father despite what big thing he had done to me. And also thought of life starting from now.
Just seconds before I opened my eyes I recognized it was a dream.
It's actually a bit embarrassing to post something like this but I will surely keep the dream in mind and will never forget how I felt in the dream.

The foods in season

I love eating and I always eat a lot.
However, I really want to eat many things especially in fall!
My favorite food in fall is chestnuts :-)
I am very happy because many snacks collaborate with chestnut in this season.
I also like baked sweet potato, so I always buy snacks, for example chocolates, I always buy it even when I`m broke.
I want to go chesnuts-gathering this year:)
Do you like food of fall too?

LIGHTNING

 Hi people! This is my first blog and I am a little nervous but I 'll try my best on it. 
This time I would like to tell about my club. I belong to the american football club. the team name is LIGHTNING. I play the LineBacker. 
 Many people ask me why I joined the club so I would like to tell about that first. I was born in the united states and I was raised there form most of my childhood until I was 10. Then I moved to Thailand until I was 15 and I entered Aogaku from high school. American Football is a very popular sports in the states, but I have never played it because I was actually scared of injuries. However I loved watching NFL and college football so I was interested in Football. This April as I entered the university, there were many freshman welcome parties from many student circles. I went to some of them, however I felt nothing from it. I always wanted to play football so I encouraged myself and joined the American Football club LIGHTNING.
 My position is the LineBacker I am in the defense team and my job is to tackle the ball career and to intercept the ball as possible. It is a difficult position but it is deep and fun at the same time.
 LIGHTNING plays in the 2nd division leagus of the Kantou Student American Football Association. Our teams goal is to raise to the 1st division. This year Our season has already started. We practiced everyday except Mondays through summer and we had hell week for 11 days at Chiba. We were all prepared for the season and we thought that we can fight enough against other universities.
Recently our season this year  has started and we played 2games already against Seikei University ZELKOVAS and Orbelin University THREE NAILS CROWNS. both games we lost in such a close points. But we still have 5 games left this season and we still have a chance to go up to the 1st division ao dwe will try our best to fight throughout the season.  

Happy News

Good evening.

 I have a happy news. Sho Narita, who is a ace pitcher of Akita mercantile high school, hands in an application of hoping to be a professional baseball player.
 I'm from Akita, so I was happy to hear the news. His high school participated in 2015 summer Koshien tournament, and won to best 8. His pitching was very good and his name was spread from Koshien studium. After summer Koshien tournament, he was elected representative player of world high school baseball tournament. His height is 168cm and weight is 68kg. He is not as big as general proffesional pitcher, but he throws max 144km/h straight and very sharp vartical slider. I hope that he show us his wonderful pitching in the professional world.
 

Losing My Weight



I have got to lose my weight immediately!
Since I love eating, this is very difficult. When I was in high school, I was in tennis club, and I was able to eat whatever I want.  But now, I don't get exercise that much, so I have to reduce my meal.
I once felt that I really have to lose weight, and didn't eat, but my friends told me you`ll soon rebound if you don't eat in good balance, so I gave up.
Recently, I really feel that Japanese girls are very skinny. There is some kind of mind control by media and models that the thinner you are, the better you look. I really hate this rule, but I can't ignore this mind control.
I sometimes wonder that is I was in America, I might not have cared about my weight.I think this thinner the better rule is particular to Japan.

Teachers wanted!!

Hi I'll write about a part time job.
Recently, two people has left the job. They could teach maths and science, so we are in trouble as most of the workers include me are not good at them. The season of the entrance examination is coming, if you were good at both or either of them when you were in junior high or high school, please come to the cram school I work at and help us!

October!!!


Hi!
It`s October already and it is getting colder and colder.

Right now I have a bad cold and I don`t really feel well.
One of the following reasons might be my lack of sleep. I always sleep around 25:00 and wake up before 6:00 in the morning.

Until I get better I would keep in mind to sleep as early as possible.

 

October

Hi
How are you?
These days I feel Autmn has come. It's October from today! It's only 3 months more to go in 2015.
Time goes so fast.
I like autmn very much. Not too hot and not too cold. I really like the smell of  Kinmokusei, but unfortunately in Aogaku it amells really bad because of the gingko nut...
The other thing I like in autumn in Japan is that there are so many delicious things, such as pumpkins, sweet potatoes and chess nuts. There are manythings I want to eat. If you have tried any of these sweets or something special in autmn and it was worth eating please let me know!

Another thing that reminds me this season is October Fest in Germany. I have lived in Munich  and that is where October Fest is held. It is a beer festival and it is very famous . Many people visit Germany in this time of the year. The beer is huge!! Not only beer is good but also children can enjoy. They have fun thing slike amusement park. They have many things to eat.
I'll show you some pictures! If you are interested, you should go and visit some day!


I had an ice cream today

I had a Mont Blanc flavored ice cream today at kobai. As soon as I saw the sign, I knew I had to eat it. It was very good. If you like Mont Blanc, it's worth eating.

My best friend's birthday!

Today was my best friend's birthday.  So we did surprise party to her! She looked very surprised. 
Yesterday, I made a very very big mistake. I was choosing her birthday present at the shop, and I happened to sent photos of them to her!!! I thought she noticed, but she wasn't. That was close. 
One of my friend brought the cake which looks like a ramen. It looks like actual ramen, and my best friend was thinking that it is actually a ramen. 
I was very happy to see her happy face. She was about to cry.  
I wish she will have a great year!
