this vacation

I have thought that I went to Osaka. My favorite dance instructor is in Osaka, and I want to take his lesson of Osaka. So I wanted to go there, but I don’t have money so much that I may not be able to visit Osaka. So, I will practice a lot in Kumamoto and I want to improve my dance skill. Then someday I want to go to Osaka to take that lesson.

What did I do last spring vacation? Well…I started a new part time job and quitted that soon, and went to Fukuoka with my best friend. Like that. In fact I wanted to go abroad during this vacation. I’ve never been abroad, so I’m always thinking about going to anywhere abroad. Of course, to study. But I can’t spend so much money, so I’ll try to take “Working Holiday”. I don’t have to append so much money comparative to going abroad to study, Ryugaku. I really want to go, but I can’t decide. I’m afraid to go to the foreign country alone. I think “If I couldn’t make friends…”

Someday I’m going to go abroad by the graduating. I don’t know when… Anyone give me some advice please!!!!

PLANETS

This time, I read “DISCOVERING PLANETS” as the last book review. Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in the planets. The TV animation broadcasted when I was a child was related the planets, so then I remembered whole planets’ name. Of course sun, I remembered Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. And What I learned from this book is that Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are in a same group, and we could see them without the telescope. Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are in a group, and those we couldn’t see them without the telescope. So that 3 planets were discovered by 3 astronomers. Uranus was discovered by William Herschel. Neptune was found by Johann Galle. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh.

I want to know the reason why the planets are named each. Especially, I like Mercury, Uranus and Neptune, so I want to know, but there is no information in this book.

LUNCH

I often have my lunch at the school cafeteria. I often have with Daisuke, Yusuke, Gakky, Kurara and Kazuma. But recently I seldom see Kazuma in the university. Where has he gone? J I bring a packed lunch. Thank you, mother. Daisuke also often brings his packed lunch. Yusuke has brought the packed lunch that his girlfriend made. I remember he had it happily. Sometimes my mother can’t make my packed lunch, so then I have a dish of cafeteria. I like “Sutamina-don”. It is very very delicious. Cabbage is on the rice, and beef is on that, and egg is on that. You check it out!!

And I like to go out to have a lunch set. My favorite store that I’ve been to ever is “Hifumi-ya”. “Hi” means 1, “fu” means 2 and “mi” means 3 in English. I recommend you “Hormone-Teishoku”. It is only 500 yen, but you can have rice any time and the hormone is so good. The store is located close to downtown. You must say “I cannot believe this 500 yen!!!!”, and you must have rice many times.

I also want to save money, but if I can eat my lunch with my friends, I don’t care about money.

I like cold better than warm, so I like winter better than summer. The reason why I like it is that winter has a lot of exciting things for me more. For example. I can have Christmas, winter vacation, New Year, Otoshidama and my birthday. Look, so many good things, right? Also I can see snow!!! I like it very much because it’s so beautiful. But in Kumamoto city, it doesn’t snow so much. Aso have lots of snow every year although. Snow could express the cold more.

When it’s cold, Japanese Kotatsu is very useful. The first person who made Kotatsu is genius. Every day I’m into it, and finally I sleep with Kotatsu. And hot milk is also good! I often drink it with instant cocoa or instant coffee. Hot green tea is good too!! They could get me warm. Do you know that to have the ice cream in winter is so good? It is really so delicious that you try it!!

And I don’t know why, but I feel lonely and sentimental every winter. I often listen to the ballad or the love song. Mika Nakashima’s song, Yuki no Hana and Boa’s song, Merikuri can't make me warm, but make me more lonely and sentimental.

GAME

Of course, I have played Nintendo 64. We call it “Roku Yon”, it means 64. I remember that I would often played “Mario Party”, “Mario Tennis” and “Smash Brothers”. These are all exciting games. My cousin had all version of Mario Party, so I went to her when I wanted to play it. As I played Mario Tennis, my rival is my father. He was not so good at playing game, but always he would play with me. Smash Brothers is good for when I want to battle with my friends. Everyone around me liked it.

But I like to play “Game Boy” better. Especially, Pocket Monster is my favorite game soft. Pocket Monster is known all over the world, right?? My exchange student likes it and he often says Pikachu is so cute. Also I’ve once watched the English animation of Pocket Monster. I really like it and played every day, and I’ve brought it to school to play it. I have two brothers, and they both were strong. I’d never won them.

Since I was a high school student, I came not to play any games. Now sometimes my friends talks about the game, but I can’t understand well. If I have a time to play the game, I want to sleep or eat.

Pet!

Now I have a pet!!! It is a dog, Labradoll Retriever. His name is Leon and he is black. The size is not so big, but he’s very very strong. I still remember that I went to see him first with my father and he became a member of my family. When he was a baby, he was so so cute. My father takes him for a walk every morning and evening. So Leon likes my father so much. He calls my father with sweet voice as soon as he came home. I have to learn from him because he is fine every time.

Now I want to have a cat. The other day, I watched a TV program and cats were featured in the program. I have an image that cat is fuss-free. So I want to have a cat when I will have to live alone. My mother dislikes a cat so much.

Sometimes I think that what pet is thinking about, for example do they feel happy, do they think they don’t want to be with their family nor do they want to go back to their real mother. They can’t choose what they have today. They just wait for their family’s coming home outside. I think like that sometimes and I feel sad. So we have to love the pet and make them happy.

my favorite music and musician

Recently I often listen to “Morning Musume” J Maybe I can say in English “Morning Girls”. About 10 years ago, they were hit the most. The beginning members were only 5 girls, but they had a join of new members many times, so they had had more than 10 members. Their hit songs are for example “Love Machine” or “Love Revolution 21”. I’m sure you have heard them.

As a musician, as an artist, as a singer, I like Ayaka. She had a rest for last one year, and after that she came back now. She has a beautiful voice and an expressive power. The reason why I like her is that her every song has any message and also that message can be given to me. For example, in her song “I believe” she says that everything is going to start and move if you believe yourself, and in “Winding Road” she says life is like a winding road and the light is very far, but you must catch the light if you believe your every step.

Her messages would give me any power and make my heart clear. If you never listened to her song, you should do it right now. You must like her.

Veronica Mars

This time I watched the TV drama “Veronica Mars”. As I talked to my friend about that I have to watch whole season 1 of any drama, he recommended me this one. I’ve never watched it and the main actress looked so cute that I chose it. Frankly, I do like it!!! This is very very exciting drama. The main actress Christine Bell is pretty beautiful and her acting is also good. I heard that Veronica is a high school girl and Christine played the role which is different 5 years old.

Most stories have any 2 event and she resolves them alone, sometimes with her father Keith Mars. He is a detective and Veronica often helps him with his works. Does she have a Mother? Yes, her mother doesn’t live with them, but I think it is right. She is too lazy and has alcoholism. Veronica tried to help her several times, but she couldn’t respond to the expectations of Veronica and Keith. She didn’t appear the last half of the season 1.

My favorite story is the last one. In the last story, the reason of Lily murder case became clear finally. Also Veronica could get back with Duncan. Duncan is her ex-boyfriend. J Can I reveal who the real culprit of that case is? It is Logan’s father, Aaron Echolls. He had a sexual relationship with Lily and he was afraid to be reveal the relationship, so he killed Lily. Veronica found out the truth, but Aaron also found out that she found out everything, so he chased after her to a forest. At the end of the story, Keith fought with Aaron and helped Veronica.

I liked not only the story, but also I liked her fashion. Every episode she wears various clothes and they are so cute. I watched Burlesque, the musical movie. In the movie, she plays a bad girl, but her play was also excellent!! I was surprised at that she had a black hair!! You check out Veronica Mars, and also Burlesque if you like Christine.

for juniours

You do what you can do only at that time. To make friends and to hang out with your friends, both of them are what you can do only now. Exactly studying is really important for you, for student, but I don't think there are many things important in your school life. You have to find that by yourself. Now I often think "Oh, I wanted to go abroad..." or "I should have hung out with my friends..." As you become 3rd year, the job hunting will come to you, and you will come to be busy.

But also, I want you to remember to thank people around you. Without him or her, you can't be there. It is perhaps your family, your friend or your teachers. If you are shy, you don't have to say anything. Just you think about and thank him or her in your mind. In my case, I really thank a lady. I met her in this university, she give me a chance. She called me for a dance lesson. If I couldn’t meet her, now I don’t dance absolutely. So I can say she is one of my dear friends. I’m always thanking her very much.

I just think you enjoy your life, and you win.

Good night, baby by Ayaka

The girl who wanted to wear the red heel that her mother is wearing She is running to wind which is blowing to the girl She always remember a lullaby
Which her mother used to sing for her
When she can’t sleep
“Good night baby”, mum’s sweet voice,
Full of her heart

She got a boyfriend and told to Mum
Look, now the girl grew up
And she became a lady as like her mother was younger the ring is lighting at mum’s ear
the girl wanted it
To catch her dream
Living hardly, everyday

Now I see,
The girl could look up the sky,
Smile and sing thanks to her mother

She used to be selfish and a cry baby,
But now standing surely
Don’t worry anything


This is Ayaka’s song, “Gunnai beibi-”. She said on TV that it is based on her life.

Why I chose that

In my paper, based on the relation between fashion and economy, what effect fashion designers have on today’s fashion is written with their history or features. The reason why I chose this theme is just I like fashion and am interested in fashion. It was very very difficult for me to read English newspaper, but I believe in that everything developed my skill.

B-3 pants

Next Monday, I will have a presentation at Business English which Ms. TsuTsui’s class.
Every group has to introduce about B-3 pants. Now I’m going to show my part of our group.

All B-3 pants shops have wide range of sizing. There are from size 19, in a size of waist 55 to 79, in a size of hip from 81 to 105. This is our strong point.

If you heard size 5 or waist 55, you will image slim and beautiful woman, right? And actually, mannequins displayed at the show window wear only size 5 pants. This is not good. A bad point of these mannequins is that displaying only size 5 ants may give consumers a negative image, for example “Oh, maybe I can’t wear such a slim pant.” Or “This shop doesn’t have pants fitting my size.” Most consumers just think “What a beautiful pant and leg”, and they don’t “I want to try it on.”

But , we can prepare to waist and hip 105. What do you think if you heard “waist is 79”? Perhaps you can image not so slender, and you will think “maybe I can wear it.” Most ladies will come into a shop if they can understand that. So my idea is, “Put size 19 mannequins”. To display large size pants, who couldn’t come into a shop ever will come into and try on B-3 pants. For middle-aged woman who have various body types, this strategy is very effective. My idea incase B-3 pants sales volume.

Kotobani Dekinai




This “Kotobani Dekinai” is sung by many singers. This is Kazumasa Oda’s song. If you listen to this, you must feel sad.


This love shouldn’t have finished
It was looks like someone’s dyeing
There is something wrong here
It must be wrong
My heart is crying

I can’t be alone
I can’t live alone
So I’m about to love anyone again
It is hard to breath
Can’t say anything

Where are you now?
I can’t say anything

I have a lonely lie
Sometimes I feel you here
The dream I was chasing,
I was about to catch,
Here, it is not

Just I was wrong
I can’t anything
Because I found I was wrong

I’m still waiting for you
I can’t say anything

I was really happy to see you
How about you?
You feel same as me?
I can’t say anything because of you

Now I’m really happy
I can’t think of except for you

Jewelry day by Ayaka






Ayaka is a talented artist. When I heard her voice first, I thought “wow, what beautiful voice.” She has come to Kumamoto Gakuen University to have a live. I went to that as I was a high school 2 year student. From that day, I became a fun of her. When I feel loneliness, I listen to her song. Also when I want a power, I listen to her song.

This is a beautiful and sweet song. This may make you calm down. This song, Jewelry day was a main theme song of a movie.

Broken my heart
Morning I notice that this is real
When I was wake up
Same as everyday
I can’t forget your lonely face
That you look at me
Jewelry days

That song I listened to with you
Now I can’t still listened to that

Don’t have to talk about anything
Just take hands each other
Just watch the sunset going down
Any word shouldn’t be there
I knew what real happiness is

You remember?
We drove to unknown city on my birthday
It was a special time for me
In my hand a ring was shining
And in your hand pair one was shining
Jewelry day

The story don’t know
When it finishes

I was in a journey
Which would finish anytime
You told me how wonderful to love someone is
I shout “Thank you”
I believe in that you are listening to me
I wish my voice could reach you

An orange sky was hold the sunset
And gets my heart warmer
I can’t forget still now
Stopping and close my eyes,
And I have a dream of you, also this year

Shiroi Koibitotachi by Keisuke Kuwata





Keisuke Kuwata is famous singer in Japan. He belongs to a group “Southern All Stars”. Sometimes he has a active alone. He has a unique, wonderful and sexy voice. Any songs he sing, if it’s not his song, it become his song.

This is his song which is hit as a winter song.

The night is coming
And the snow is coming from the sky
The loneliness is coming up in my heart gradually
Tear could die the fire in my heart
And I was looking at that the season is running thorough
In front of my face

The air is freezing out side
The wind can’t blow
And is crying at street tree
I am waiting for someone’s coming back
At that red brick stop

Tonight, I am about to cry,
But I will sing for you, my love, and serenade
Now I remember this love song
That I sang with you
I hope the snow could celebrate us just once again
What can be with me tonight?
Only this white love

When the saint bell is ringing
I had a dream that I’m in a city with you
The angel has come down from the sky
And has smiled for me before spring’s coming

I never false and look up, say good bye to loneliness
Someone is waiting for me, my white lover
So I don’t have to forget dream and hope
In my heart, forever
If now I can’t feel happiness,
White love is coming to me

Tonight, I am about to cry,
But I will sing for you, my love, and serenade
Now I remember this love song
That I sang with you

Please, just once again celebrate this journey
What can be with me tonight?
Only this white love

Forever white love

I wanna just be with you, I can’t be without you
I want you to be in my heart

Do you know Boyz 2 Men?? They cover this song in English, and it is also nice. So if you have a interest, you check it out!!!

Conclusion

In conclusion, I put Chanel’s and Armani’s impressive words.

“I want to tell you what most important is to fashion. Fashion is always close to you wherever you live. It is standing with anything. 1925 fashion was special because women had just started to work like men. I couldn't’ believe women cut their hair shorter, and I thought it will be modern women style. For women who go to work, I told them to take off bone corset. They can’t work with wearing corset.” After Chanel became old, she said like this.

Armani grew up to the huge fashion brand company that can propose everything of life style. Giorgio Armani said, “I’m chasing what absolutely natural, comfortable wear and what suits modern life style. And what I’m chasing comes simple naturally. There is no meaning that to be surprised audience by something strange.” It is said that Armani’s works have transgressive elegance and ultimate modernism resides them.

Coco Chanel’s or Giorgio Armani’s works and ideas tell us real fashion comes from simple and elegance. Especially, what Chanel brought black into fashion explain that, and have an effect on today’s fashion and fashion designers. Now there is no one who thinks wearing black is strange. Also, Chanel made suits and people can wear them as whether casual or formal because of her. This is connecting to that Armani proposes his works focus on men’s and women’s suits. A suit is a wear that simple and elegance is needed very much. Why fashion can affect to economy is seen by that they show what we want or what need, that is trend, comfortably or functionality.

I could see they are great designer both in the fashion world. Many designers had an inspiration and a good effect from them. I don’t know whether I’ll work with the fashion or not, but I think I could a good study. I want to tell a lot of people about their great achievements.

345/11128

Giorgio Armani

I introduce Giorgio Armani in this part. I’m talking about what person he is, how the start of his designer life is and what his style is.

Giorgio Armani was born in Piacenza, Italy. He entered the Milan University and belonged to the medical science department after graduating from high school. When he was two year, he served in army. After that he didn’t be back to medical science and dropped out the university. He decided to go to the business world.

He served on the window dresser buyer at the La Rinascente, which is a department store in Milan from 1957 to 1964. He was familiar to the design and material that the consumer needed, and had a large knowledge of the produce process distribution. By the chance of scouting as an assistant designer at a fashion house Nino Cerruti, he assumed the designer of Hit-man, which is menswear. Armani learned fashion design from him.

To work as a free designer, he left the company in 1970. He produced the menswear requested by some companies. He became Sergio Galeotti’s partner, and established a menswear label, Armani in 1974 when he was 41 years old. It is said that it’s late to build a company considering the designer. Previously Armani’s works were men-oriented, but they introduced a women’s wear line in 1975.

It is said the reason why his women’s line was hit in the same way his men’s line is that the time which he released women’s style had been fitted to the time which Carrier Woman Generation was about to come to America. He applied the functionality of men’s wear to women’s one, and pursued what womanish style is or how he can make comfortable wear for ladies from a luxury material and a beautiful shape. The desire that women wanted to work met Armani’s works for them very well.

He has many names, for example the king of mode fashion or one of Milan 3G, and that is not strange as we think his talent. 1980, he published ‘Armani Jeans’ that was a second line and made for young people. Then he produced the perfume for ladies 1982, and for men 1984. Also, 1987 h opened two special lines of sun glasses and a sock. 90s he brought American Casual into mode fashion and he published ‘Armani Exchange’. Like this, Armani has various talent and all of them bring fresh style to 80s and 90s fashion.

“Fashion should suit the life style of the age. If the age is that women work at the office same as men, fashion designers have to produce styles which women can wear at the office comfortably. Clothes that designers made because they just think its cool are not needed.” Armani said. He always cares about functionality and also what is popular now or what customer needs. “This is fashion so this style should be like this, I think this way has finished.” This is his symbolic word, which catches the trend of fashion quickly. His feature is that he has a nice sense to business and proposes what customer wants.

White Love by SPEED





Do you know SPEED? It is Japanese singer group. They had debut when they were still 12 or 13 years old, so I remember we were surprised. They have amazing voice and dance skill, also they have many hit songs. This time, I’ll show the one of their famous hit song, “White Love”.

Can you take me
Over there in that sky
Don’t leave this hand, please

It was from the winter sky
It was like a snow
Snowing in my heart
Having me to cry
I want to feel my only you,
And I can be strong
If we’re not be together
You think of me anytime, right?

Keep catching my hand, more, everyday
Exactly I said I don’t care as you couldn’t call
But in fact, I miss you

Like a star light in that sky
Full of my heart, now I want to hold you
God had me to meet you
That is shining in my heart forever

The breath is white,
I can see illumination through the window
I’m afraid that tomorrow is coming
I have to feel happy, but I’m about to cry
How many can I write your name
In this new diary
I can live with next seeing you

Winter is going and spring is coming
Like a cherry blossom, I wanna be beautiful
I wanna lady you want, I wanna protect you

Star has a small life,
Like it, if I cannot do anything,
I never quit loving you
To be here this happiness,
If the snow has gone

I love you
Look at me only

Can you take me
Over there in that sky
Don’t leave this hand, please

This is not miracle
Which we could meet
My god is looking at us anytime
Just now, a love is born
I’ll never leave it
I wanna live for you


As I listened to this first, I couldn’t believe. They were still younger, but they sang a love song on TV.

My favorite sport to watch

I’ve never belonged to the club, but I really like to watch volley ball game!! Professional game is good, and also high school volley ball, we call it “Haru-kou volley” is very nice. The reason why I like it is that the speed of the play of the game is so cool. Especially, I like women’s professional better than men’s one. I want to watch live professional game.

Also I often watch the tennis game. Wimbledon is famous, and it is often broadcasted midnight at NHK. In Japanese professional player, Ai S. and Shuzou M. are famous. Women’s game is very powerful and elegance. Men’s one is cool and sexy. I like to play tennis too, so I was about to join the tennis club when I entered junior high school.

Both of volleyball and tennis, it seems harder, so maybe if I joined the club, I absolutely quit.

My elementary school memory

My elementary school memory is that I belonged to soccer club for 3 years. I went to Sakuragi elementary school. In case of my school, children can join the club as they became 4 years grade. To join the club is not a rule, but most students belong to any sport club. My brother played soccer and I often went to see his play with mother, so I decided to join the soccer club. Also I don’t know why, but I went to the swimming school. I remember that I didn’t like to go to the school so much.

I didn’t like to play soccer. I like just to watch it. But I could see my friends at the club, so I went to see them. And I didn’t like the main coach. I felt he hazed me. but now I think I could get a soccer skills thanks to him. Thank you, Mr. Shimojo.

My favorite place I've been

I still remember I went on a trip with my family when just before I entered this university. It was a lot of fun. First we went to Kagawa by My father’s car. There my brother lived with his family, so we went to see them. Kagawa is famous for Udon. Udon which I ate in Kagawa is much more delicious than I’ve had ever. I was surprised at Kagawa people how to have Udon. They have it without soup. I tried it, and it was so good.

Then we went to Okayama and Hiroshima. There we went to shopping and saw many sites. I really liked Itsukushima Jinja. It is located at Miyajima, Hiroshima, and there are many Japanese deer. I never saw it closely, so I had a special experience. Also Hiroshima is known for oyster, and I ate a lot. It was very very great!!!! I came to like oyster more!!!

My brothers’ family will be supposed to live in Kumamoto, so maybe I won’t go to Shikoku or Okayama and Hiroshima, but I never forget everything.

Peter Pan





~Then she thought about her mother, and also ~

This is very wonderful fantasy. It’s full of dreams. My favorite scene is that Peter Pan advised to Wendy, John and Michael to fly. “It’s easy. Just think about lovely things!! ” said Peter. Wendy thought about her mother, Michael thought about chocolate and John thought about holidays.

I thought the lost boys didn’t want anyone to come to Neverland. They were throwing at her at first. Maybe they were just afraid. Mermaids were beautiful. I had read “Mermaid” before, and mermaids in this book were also good. Wendy was very happy there, but she got lonelier gradually, she said she want to see her mother. Wendy and guys decided to go home, and Peter decided to stay in Neverland. But the way go home, they met Hook.

I think Peter Pan is a symbol of children dream. They often think “don’t want to grow up”. I also think about it. The end of this story, there is that Wendy became a mother and she flew… I guess she had a dream and in that dream she saw Peter Pan again and had a good time with him.

Story by AI





I want to introduce a wonderful song for you. This song was sung by a talented Japanese singer, AI. This can clean my heart.

How many things can I do
In a limited time…
How much can I tell you
What I’m really thinking about you

I’ve closed this pain for a long time
Not to remember, never
But now I’m smiling every time
Because you was cried with me
To get the pain out of my heart

Now I’m not alone,
You always protect me from everything
I can be strong, I’m never scared anything
The time is running beautifully
The pain is running together
You’re looking at me, it is like sunshine

You don’t have to say anything
You don’t have to smile when you don’t wanna do that
Don’t have to worry
If you have a trouble,
You can depend on me anytime
I’m here, and waiting for you

We are weak, not so strong
Everybody takes deep breath
You don’t try to break such a big wall
I can take your hands, and we can break together

You are not alone
I can protect you from everything
I wait for you to smile
The time is running beautifully
The pain is running together
This time I look at you, like sunshine, same as you.

We’re sometimes hurt by someone, and hurt someone
And we’re making our own story
They are different each other
So you’re living to make your own story
Never look down, you look your way in front of you,
You never give up

You are not alone
You can believe in me
I always think of you
I want you to be smiling
The time is running,
And is welcome you and I
Look up the sky,
The sun is also light down us.


I often sing this as I go to karaoke box. Last year when I had a ceremony, Seijinshiki, I sang this song with my high school friend. Because of her, I could have a womdeful time, and this become my favorite song.

Renovations




~”I am never grumpy,” he said grumpily. ~

I like this series. Every time I read this kind of book I think I also want to have a genie.

First, Jack woke up the noise. He couldn’t realize what was going on. He guesses that the lamp has a trouble, so he catches that. Jack was the only person who had a magic lamp and a genie, and it isn’t easy for him to get along with the genie. Jack rubbed the lamp to appear him.

The sound certainly was from the genie, Gemini. He said he was renovating. Jack told him to keep the noise down, but Gemini laughed and didn’t listen to him. As his mum went up to upstairs, she looked at the terrible view. His room was full of bricks, and a lot of dust. His mum looked at him strangely, so he said “I’d like to learn to build things, so I got them yesterday.”

Jack called Gemini again, and he told jack why he put them in jack’s room. He didn’t have a any place to put them on, except for Jack’s room. “You mean you can’t make wishes for yourself?” He got an idea. “Well, what if I help you by wish for your renovation?” “You want something in return, don’t you?” Jack made the wish. Gemini laughed and yelled in his lamp. His place became beautiful and he was happy.

I thought jack is very very nice guy and genius. Jack looks kind of weak boy, but he has a sweet heart. I have to learn from him!!

My favorite music

When I was a high school student, I belonged to the brass band club. To develop my skill to play, my teacher told me to listen to brass band music, so now I often listen to that. Tokyo Wind Orchestra and Kumamoto Wind Orchestra and so on, they are famous for their high skill to play.

Recently I like to listen to electro and house music. I also like to dance with them. And USA music is good. Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Britney, Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera, Miss Kittin, LMFAO, I can’t select only one. I don’t know why there are so many many talented artists in America. Maybe people in America are living around much wonderful music.

Music is just a part of our life. Same as to wake up, to take a bath, to sleep, music is in any place. That is I like any kind of music!!

My Favorite Drink

In the Japanese Sake, I like Atsu-kan. It is warmed Nihon-shu. Almost Izakaya have it, and I often order it. Atsu-kan gets me warm and it’s very delicious. Every time I drink it I have it with my friend. So if you never had it, you should try it!!

I like Shouchu too. This season Oyu-wari is very good. Same as atsu-kan, it gets me warm and suits any dishes. Sometimes anyone says “the smell is not so good.” especially ladies. But shouchu is good for health, and it doesn’t remain next day. So never Futsuka-yoi.

When I can’t drink, I often have Coke. Everyone likes it! A teacher of my listening class said it is very bad for our health and born. I don’t care about anything. I want to have what I want to have when I want to have. It is good for our health the best.

Cccccc

Then, I will show next part follow the part I introduced before.

She was a courageous person. She broke the existing traditional style of woman fashion and she tried hard to change all women’s idea to their clothes. To know what she did, we can learn many things from her. For example, we can turn over a bad condition to good as she became succeed in although she was poor, and we can make a dream come true as she believed in herself and fulfilled her dream.

What feature her style has is first, she is a first designer who brings black to fashion. Black is used only for mourning wear before she has appearance. Everyone had an image that black is for mourning dress, but She had an idea that black is a color that can take out a personality of its wearer. She produced a dress coordinated black all over. And she could change black to that safest, chicest and forever fashionable color. Next, as written previously, she first used jersey cloth for women fashion. ‘To work and live, not to dress, this jersey dress was born with like this her idea. Also, it is said that she created new styles for example woman have a shoulder bag. Hand bag fill in one hand absolutely and it is inconvenient. To express its elegance and character, a design which has a chain with assist strap was born at this time. We can say it is one of her classic works that is functional and elegant.

In the fashion history, there are 2 designers who produced a style without corset. First one is Paul Poiret. He received an inspiration from Oriental fashion and the style that doesn’t use corset was popular among nobility by him. Second one is Chanel. Corset was known as a symbol of desire to the nobility. She kicked out forever the concept from fashion scene, which it is naturally to wear the corset until then, so that she is said she is a designer who made woman free not only from the corset to their body, but also from the corset to their mental.

All her styles consistently have a commonality. It is “simple and elegant”. What she bring black into fashion, what she use jersey, what she kicked out corset and so on, we can say her all works are plain or graceful. Especially, the black was a fundamental color in her style, and from then we wear a black cloth when we are in formal place and also we wear one as a casual wear. Because of her, black has been closed to us.

I showed that many basic forms of modern fashion were made by Chanel. A lot of designers affected by her and respected to her basic concept of simplicity and elegance.

In this part, I talk about what she made or did, for example that she changed the concept of black, that she made the shoulder bag and so on.

On my paper I’ll write about Giorgio Armani.
