'you' by Kumi Koda

Can I translate this song?? I’ll try.

‘you’

White snow tells me the coming of winter
It’s already snowy in your place
I don’t think so, but my mind thinks you are far from me

Now you don’t love me maybe
I’m thinking about you now
But I don’t care about like that
I wanna be close to you

I don’t anything
If the view that I can see with you is here
This view that I see alone is like a time where I can feel nothing

In those days, I was with you because I wanna feel I’m happy
Why can you love other one again, soon.
Have you already forgotten me?

Someone said I don’t suit you
She was right
We didn’t try to understand each other.

I never want something
If the view that I can see with you is here
This view that I see alone is like a time where I can feel nothing

I wanna be with you
You, just be with you
I never forget you
Now I’m singing with this snow
For you


This is famous for one of Kumi Koda’s song. And I also like this song. The MV is good too, so you check it on YouTube.

Can't Wait Till Christmas

Now I introduce one of Utada’s song. It is Christmas song. This season remember this song.

Can’t Wait Till Christmas

Don’t let me wait till Christmas
As usual the time is running
I wanna be with you on not special day
I’m already loving you

What do think during so long winter?
Spring came, and everybody starts to prepare for a trip
The time for us is now coming…

You don’t let me wait till Christmas
Everything of this city is falling in love with you.
I want you to be as usual in front of me
I’m already loving you

Mountains are covered with white snow
Bird quits flying for some time
They celebrates our Christmas Eve

I feel that you are closer to me every time I meet you
But I can’t catch your mind and I don’t know what you think
I don’t care about when I can see you next time
I just wanna know what you think now

Don’t let me wait till Christmas
Why do we want to tomorrow?
Just love who I love
I can do only that.


I had heard this tune on TV cm. At that time, I thought how beautiful this song is. All time, even summer, I often listen to this song.
This lets me feel winter and makes me sentimental.

DDDDD

Last Saturday I showed dance at the Studio Show Time. I joined 2 numbers. AYA number is jazz hip hop, and J’8 number is hip hop. Both instructors are fabulous and kind to me.

The start of last year, last January I started to go to the J’8 class. My friend, AOI called me. And soon she invited me to AYA class. Since then I have been to 2 classes. J’8 class is on Friday and AYA class is on Monday.

Especially I seldom missed AYHA class because I do like her dance style. I wanted to learn a lot. Last 31st December, I joined the dance contest with AYA and so on. We got 3rd prize. I was really really happy. I thought what a great time I could have.

My Favorite Desert

My favorite desert is tiramisu. I do love it!!! The base of chocolate is so sweet, and the base of bitter like coffee is also good. Someday I want to make it by myself. And I like purine!! I often get it at convenient store. Baked prine, cream on prine and bigger prine, there are so many kind of prine.

Also I like parfait!!!! It has many kinds too. It gives me fruit, cream and some sweets. Have you ever been to ‘Joyful’? It is just family restaurant, but it has 3 kinds of parfait, strawberry parfait, chocolate parfait and green tea parfait. Every parfait is delicious, but I often order green tea one. Maybe, it is 499 yen. And sometimes I try strawberry and chocolate one. These may be 399 yen. So if you want it, now go to Joyful!!!

Something sweet makes me happy, you know!!!!
What is your favorite desert??:D

my favorite movie

My favorite movie is HSM!!!! Yes, High School Musical!!! It is very exciting movie. First time I met the movie is when I was in high school, maybe. At that time, I thought ‘What a fantastic movie!!’ It was 2, and I liked the duet song in that. Probably, the main character was Troy and his girl friend was Gabriela. I remember that he was so cool and she was pretty cute.

Also, “Hair Spray” is one of my favorite songs. A girl who dreams to become a star get approach to star. She is very funny and a great singer. And… ‘Phantom of the Opera’ is also good. But it is a little sad story. Oh, I forgot ‘Chicago’ and ‘Burlesque’!!!XD L really really love them!!! Especially, Burlesque! I want to sing and dance, perform like Aguirella

You know, I like musical movie. If you know good one, tell me.

First Love

Do you know ‘First Love’ which is Utada Hikaru’s song? It is very very good song. I’ll introduce it.

When you kissed me lastly,
maybe it was a flavor of cigarette
bitter smell made me sentimental

About this time of tomorrow
I won’t know where you will stay
and I wanna know who you’re gonna think about

You are always gonna be my love
If someday I fell in love with somebody again
I’ll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Now I can sing only lonely song
Still when I can sing other new song…

The time I wanna let it stay is about to go
Whatever I don’t wanna forget it

About this time of tomorrow
I may be crying for you
I must be thinking about you

You will always be inside my heart
Whenever here is a place that is just for you
I hope that I have a palace in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Now I can sing only lonely song
Still when I can sing other new song…


Are these English correct??

Many singers cover this song. It means this is a great song and loved by everyone.

Next what do I write:D

Sally's phone

~I don’t want the message. I would like to go to the party with you. ~

This book was nice. I liked a scene which Sally and Paul are going to the party. He understood Andrew who is her boyfriend is not good man. So maybe, Paul decided to ask her to go to the party together. He wanted to drink with her at the bar, Blue Moon and to talk with her. All they must be his plan.

Sally has a boyfriend, Andrew and she works in Manchester Street. He is not kind to her. Everyone around her knows that. At work, Sally told Claire and Louise who are friends of her about a plan with her boyfriend of a night. ‘Who needs men? Don’t go there!’ Louise says. Then, Sally went into a café and a man falls down her bag. ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’ ‘That’s OK, thank you.’ A man thought ‘How nice smile she has.’ He picks up her phone and she picks up his phone. They didn’t notice that. The man is Paul.

Andrew phones Sally, but Paul answers. Paul’s sister phones Paul, but Sally answers. She talks to Clair and Louise and Louise says ‘Put on your new skirt and go to the party. Forget Andrew!’

Do you wanna me to tell the continue?? You check out the book…

See yap!!

DRIVE INTO DANGER

I read ‘DRIVE INTO DANGER’. It is very hard for me to read it. Its story was like a ‘Die Hard’ or a kind of dangerous action movie. Yes, I can say it is an action story.

Gary, a truck driver couldn’t drive because he was broken his arm. Maybe he is a wirepuller, I guess….. Mark and his son had a bad morning. Kim is one of Mark’s office. She had a license so she came to drive the truck. With Andy, Mark’s son. Gary told them where to stop.

When they arrived at Calais, Andy noticed losing oil. Kim got under the truck, she said ‘Come and have a look at this.’ There is a strange box. In the box are about fifty small white paper bags. They found it drug. They escaped from a car chasing, and they drove into a rubbish dump. Andy throws the parcel of drug into the skip.

They had a fight with two men and they won!! But, why was the parcel under the truck? And why two men came to Kim and Andy? These didn’t be clear…

Now I'm writing paper.

As a topic of my paper, I will talk about Coco Chanel at first. I introduce what I will write.

Most people must hear ‘Chanel’ and see the mark of it. Gabrielle Chanel was born in France, on August 19, 1883. Chanel’s family did not have money, and they lived in a poor house in a narrow street. Before she became twelve, her mother died. Then her father left Chanel, and she grew at the orphanage. Gabrielle had been staying there for six years. She was a fierce and restless girl, what is called tomboy. And she had noticed that she was different from others. At that time, a modern fashion and lifestyle came to the big cities of France with The Industrial Revolution. She couldn’t live in such the city, so Chanel repellenced to her unfortunate childhood which she was an orphan. She had a desire to want to let others recognize her ever since she was a child.

She graduated from the orphanage, and she started to work at a shop in Moulin as a seamstress with using her skills which she learned at the orphanage. Then she met a handsome businessman, and she went to Paris with him. He accepted her wish that she wanted to open a hatter. 1910, the hatter was named Chanel opened next door to present head office of Chanel.

She got some ideas from men’s clothes. At that time a jersey was used for men’s fashion and used as undergarments before she produced Chanel suits. The reason why anybody didn’t use jersey for fashion is that it is a soft and elasticity but it’s difficult to handle its appearance and weave. Chanel adopted some special quality of a jersey as couture fabric and she created clothes for modern women. After World War 1, she made clothes with jersey cloth finally.

These are what I will write on my paper. Also, I want to write about that she firstly bring ‘black’ to fashion. Everyone had a image which black is for mourning dress, but she broke the image.

Please look forward to my paper’s completing. And let me know what you thought through my paper. Yap!!

Kang Fu Panda

This time, I watched ‘Kung Fu Panda’. It was very funny. I heard the title first, I was surprised at to connect Kung Fu and Panda. Kung Fu is Japanese? Or Chinese? It’s very exciting that a lot of animals appear in this movie.

It is so cute when Tai Lung was a kid. His big eyes were pretty. He may be a snow leopard. But I don’t think what Master Tigeress should be a lady and Master Crane should be a man is good. It is better if Master Tiger were a man and Master Crane were a lady. The tiger is cool and large so it must be a man. I have an image that Crane is elegant and beautiful so it must be a lady. By the way, the voice actor and actress were so gorgeous, including Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan and many others.

I liked one scene best. It is when Tai Lung escaped from the prison. The scene makes me excited. Master Rhinoceros and the other rhinoceroses are easily defeated. Many many arrows fly at Tai, but he can avoid them. Once he was about to fall down, but he climb some rock which are falling down and he could land on the ground. He is coming to the city!!

And the scene of Shifu and Tai’s battle is painful for me. Shifu knows Tai’s sweet childhood so he can’t battle with Tai. Conversely Panda and Tai’s battle scene was crazy and funny. I laughed at the stilts!!!! His body’s softness was active.

Maybe children must like this movie! ‘Oh it’s Panda, Dad!’ ‘Is it mantis, Mama?’ ‘I want to learn Kung Fu!!’ Or ‘I want to be Panda!!!’ First, everyone didn’t like Panda, but gradually they become friends with Panda. It is good. OK, it is time to decide white or black!!!

Test of the Color License

Today, I took a last class of the course of the color license. I have taken it since this summer vacation. It was very long way for me. It’s held from 18:00 to 20:10 on Mondays and Thursdays. The reason why I decided to take it is that just I want to understand Color.

It was so interesting class for me. For example, red and green are approached each other and they are easy to be in people’s eyes. And black and white and gray are in same group, and they are called neutral color.

13th, Sunday, I take the test. I pass it. I must pass it.

about my paper...

English major students have to take a seminar when they become 3rd year. Mr. Tomei comes to take care of me. I choose ‘Fashion’ as a topic of my paper because just I’m interested in fashion.

At the first paragraph, the introduction, I wrote about the connection of fashion and economy. Two ways can tell us the fashion industry’s importance. The first way is through direct impact. It is the buying and selling of clothes as well as the manufacturing of those clothes. The second way is through other industries, so fashion affects other industries such as tourism because people travel to buy clothes at the actual place. Also, financial services where people borrow money to pay for new clothes are important.

Like this, I read some web pages or news, and then I change them to my words and write on my paper. It is so difficult. Both of reading English pages and news and to writing in English are difficult for me. Btu I feel I can get knowledge which related fashion or English through reading and writing in English.

Cinderella

~YES! The shoe is YOURS~

This time I read ‘Cinderella’. It is a happy ending story. Two horrible sisters and their mother hazed Cinderella. They had her to clean bedroom, to cook and wash for them. Cinderella thought this is terrible. One morning, a letter arrived at 10 o’clock. In the letter, there is that the Ball will be held at the Castle 14th July at 8 o’clock and the dress cord is Beautiful clothes. The ugly sisters can go to the ball, but Cinderella can’t because she doesn’t have any dress or shoes to wear.

Suddenly, a fairy godmother appears in front of Cinderella and she said “I’m here to help you.” Her magic worked and Cinderella could get a beautiful dress and shoes. She told Cinderella that she has to come back by 12 o’clock and she must not be late.

The prince liked Cinderella and they danced all night. But the time is coming. She heard the clock, she ran quickly from the castle. “Please don’t go! Come back!” the prince called. 12 o’clock came and she went outside, she became the Cinderella who has her poor clothes and shoes. The prince really wanted her to come back. Then he found a beautiful little shoe.

He went to every house and tried every foot, but nobody could suit it. Of course, the ugly sisters couldn’t. Cinderella came and tried the shoe. It was Cinderella’s. Then they got married.

It was fun

Yesterday, it was a lot of fun. I joined the dance show time of Kumamoto University’s School Festival. I danced as a member of Niwa’s Jazz Hip Hop Crew. Niwa-san is my senior. I had been to Kumamoto University to take his lesson once a week for about four months. I had a course for the color license test and went to other lesson on Mondays, went to part time job on Tuesdays, went to Niwa-san’s lesson on Wednesdays, had a course on Thursdays, and went to other lesson on Fridays. And on weekends, I had a part time job. It was so busy for me. I was often about to cry.

It’s about time to go to a job. It’s rainy now. TOO BAD!!!!!!!

my favorite animals

Animal? My favorite animal? It is Lion. It’s so cool. The mane is awesome, you know? A mature lion is very scary, but when it’s a kid, it’s so cute like a cat. If the kid lion, I want to have it. So I like a cat too. My mother doesn’t like it, so I can’t have it. The walking, it’s elegant and beautiful. Supple.

And I like Phoenix. This is also cool. It appears in Pocket Monster and also Harry Potter. It looks like an eagle or hawk, so I think ancient people got them phoenix. By the way, phoenix is an animal? So how about Dragon. I like it too. There are so cool dragon and so cute dragon on the Google picture page.

I want to have lion or cat or phoenix or dragon!!!
Are they, phoenix and dragon animal?????

Someday by Kumi Koda

Kumi Koda is one of my favorite singers. In her wonderful songs, I especially like ‘Someday’. I heard it first when I was a junior high school 3rd year student. I have loved ‘Someday’ since that time. I want to introduce the lyrics and try to translate into English.

Can I enjoy a time with you again?
Can I believe that it’ll come Someday?
Hey, you are my sweet boy.

I could find that everyday have any meaning,
meeting to you and also from now on.
Maybe nobody can’t lead me.
I walk for my future on my foot.

Something not worth bothering about got us separated,
but we think each other strongly.

Can I remember that you said ‘my sweet babe’?
And I still really like you.
All pictures which took with you and all mails which you send,
all, they are my sweet memory.

I don’t know whether this is right or not, but I will write, ‘Someday’.

Today's paln

Today, really I have to go to Kumamoto University to join a dance rehearsal for 5th November’s KU school festival, but I have a lot of things to do and I have to go shopping to buy clothes which I’ll wear when the dance. After that, I dance for Kyushu Central Rehabilitation School’s school festival. It is close to Kumamoto Station. And after that, I have a part time job.

OOOOOOOHHHHHH, busy.

So, now and after the job, I have to do write and write and … Also, I must study for the Color License Test on 13rd Nov. I’m taking a course for the test on Monday night and Thursday night every week. I’ve taken it from this summer vacation. I must not miss, so I never give up.

But I have to write and write and write…

139/3001

My favorite class is...

Of course, Mr. Tomei’s WRITING class!!!haha I really don’t like works and I don’t want to do iiiiiiiit!! But I always feel “Oh, I am in English major” when I’m taking the writing class. Now I’m taking Japanese modern history, biology and politics. Do they need to me? Why I must take those classes?

Also I like Seminar so so. It is too hard for me to write paper in English. Sometimes I can’t understand what teacher said and every time I couldn’t understand him I open the dictionaries. And I often have to watch the English web pages like someone’s page or newspaper, but their English is too difficult. I can’t understand them without dictionaries.

But I think that if I can complete them, they will be a great power.

Who is my favorite TV star?

Do you want to know my favorite TV star?? It’s Kumi Koda. She is a Japanese singer and also an artist. I like her life. She has had a desire that to want to be a singer since she was a child. When she was in junior high school or high school, she applied the various companies to get her dream. But, it is difficult and she tried many times. And when she was a high school 3rd year student, she could be a runner-up of an audition of avex which is a company and famous for many popular singers’ and groups’ belonging. She thought her dream would be come true… No, her dream didn’t. She had to have a long way to be famous.

Oh, I could get 120 words, so this story will to be continued…

WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR?

~Yes, I’m Curls, but please don’t send me home. ~

I could decide this book quickly because I think “wwwWhat? Star?? I have to read it!” when I see this book. I liked the story. Tina, the main character is a thirteen years old girl, but she is a star. Everybody calls her “Curls” and she can sing and dance.

She didn’t want to be a star. Her mother wanted. They had a quarrel and she decided to go to Mrs. White, a grandmother of Marry who is Tina’s friend. Mrs. White welcomed Tina and was kind to her. In the country Mrs. White lives there are wild lambs,　hedgehogs and fox. She could touch a nature for the first time in her life.

When Mrs. White noticed that Tina is the TV star, she understood Tina. Mrs. White explains her idea. Tina became to go a school where nobody knows she is Curls.

The Cup in the Forest

~Take it back there…now! ~

This is too cruel book!!! At the end of the story, a girl friend was dead by a ghost. I learned from this that you sometimes have to believe a superstition for you.

Per and Nina went to a dark and quiet forest and they found a beautiful cup. Nina, Per’s girlfriend thought it must be expensive. Maybe she decided to change it to money at that time. He felt anyone’s eyes, but Nina didn’t. When they took the cup to the museum curator, he told them ‘Take cup back to the forest. This cup belongs to a dead Viking.’ Per was about to take it to the forest, but Nina drove away with the cup alone.

The Viking was angry. He felt Nina into a river. The Viking got the cup and he went back to the forest.

Little Red Riding Hood

~To-EAT YOU, LITTLE ONE!~

I read “Little Red Riding Hood”, which is famous as “Akazukin-chan” in Japan. The way to draw the pictures was so cool. Especially the picture of a wolf was awesome. And my favorite scene is the conversation of little red riding hood and a wolf which disguised Granny. “Why are your ears so big?” “To hear you” “Why are your eyes so big?” “To see you” “Why are your arms so big?” “To hug you” “Why are your teeth so big?” To…EAT YOU!”

“riding hood” means a mantle with hood for riding a horse.
