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.
