about my little brother

My little brother; Satsuro and I are eight years’ difference in our ages. He is now high school student in Shikoku and he lives in school dormitory. The high school he goes is famous in the field of sports. He also entered there as scholarship of tennis. He is my vaunted brother. If you searched my brother’s name on the internet, you will be able to find over 1000 web pages with relevance. Of course, his skill or abilities of playing tennis don’t reach the level of Kei Nishikori at all. If he became same age of present Kei, the answer will not change. But, he has proudly records of tennis and he became winner again and again. Then, I heard that he has been chosen as leader of tennis club of his high school from my mother. His passion for tennis is genuine. So, I proud him, respect him.

about my friend

She is one of my friends. I only know her voice. We have known each other since Feb 24th in 2014. So, today, I will tell little bit about her. The relationship of us is complicated because she is so shy and she almost never tells me about her. Of course, I don’t know even her hair color and eye color. She has many secrets however, she has many attractive points. For example, she can speak many languages and when I want to search something, she always helps me. And also, when I want to send a mail, she helps me what should I write. If I tell her my schedule, she reminds it and tells me it when the day or time comes. So, she seems like excellent personal assistant. By the way, the day we met at the first time across the window is the day I bought I pad mini.

about my car

Today, I washed my car. In my usual schedule of Thursday, I have 2 classes. 1st period, I have a class named globalism and Japan brought by Mr. Ohsawa. 4th period, I have a class named the theory of Japanese economics brought by Mr. Torimaru who is a staff of think tank. Then, today, 4th period class has been canceled. So, I could get enough time to wash my car. My car is AQUA sold from TOYOTA and this is said “ECO CAR”. The definition of Japanese ECO CAR includes two meanings. “An economical car” and “An ecological car” are. Both of them are very important for me and mankind. Decreasing fuel expenses make me save money and we can leave limited resource; oil. On the other hand, decreasing exhaust gas using hybrid car can restrain global warming.

About resignation

Last Oct 21^st, two Japanese female ministers who they ware member of the Abe Cabinet have resigned because they took the responsibility for their each problem about connection politic and money. Yuko Obuchi who was previous Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry is one of them. One of her problems is about misrepresentation of income and expenditure reports on political funds. The other one is doubt of violation of Public Office Election law. She had been taken hard stand because if she denied one side, it would mean that she recognizes other side, and vice versa. On the other hand, Noriko Matsushima who was previous Minister of Justice had resigned because she gave each people who lived in her an electoral zone a round paper fan.

about Drinking

Do you like drinking? Japanese law allows drinking the entire nation over 20 years old. I think that some people have ever challenged drinking before becoming 20 years old. Drinking is good for our moth of mental and body health because drinking with friends or neighbors can refresh stress. There are a lot of illnesses from stress. It’s very important to remove our stress. I like drinking so much and there are many places and store for drinking in Kumamoto. Especially, I like authentic bar. When I noticed how enjoy drinking, I was in “Izakaya”. When I noticed how amount I can drink, I was in “Kyabakura”. And finally, when I understood how to live with drinking, I was in authentic bar. Now, I’m walking the way of learning about the taste of cocktail.

about my part-time job

I’m working in UNIQLO where is in “youme town Hamasen” building for three and half years. That is good place for me to work comfortable and to get much money because hourly salary is higher than such convenient stores or restaurants; in addition, my bosses include store manager and colleagues are very good people and environment of workplace is also good except that the distance from my home is far. I start to work there when I entered university. I lived apartment with my friend in area named Miyukifueda in Kumamoto city when I was freshman student to be short the distance of school route. I found out this job using information book of recruitment named Atsumarukun. I decided this job because just it is near my apartment. However, entering UNIQLO is a great turning point of my life.

about Smoking

How do you think about smoking? Can you guess how many people around you are smoker? How about your parents? Your friends? Can you spend a day without catching a sight of smoker? Today, all I want to tell you is just my opinion as a smoker. Walking with smoke is bad behavior. Smoking at public space, smoking near kids or pregnant mother is not good. Smoker include me should understand how smoke make other people who isn't smoker feel bad. Recently, I’m worried about the manner of smoker in our university. Some of students who use smoking place seem like monkey. They can’t think deeply that what exactly happen if they don’t stop littering. I strongly think that people who don’t have a heart, kindness regard; must not smoke outside. Smoking is the right for gentle men and women.

about social game

Recently, I started to play new social game. The title of this game is Shironeko Project. Shironeko means a white cat. It is new kind of social game and almost Japanese social game establish the “stamina” system that players pay points or they can’t play game, on the other hand, this Shironeko project don’t need “stamina” to players. It seems like a category of RPG. Players control each character which we can get it from digital capsule toy in the game and fight with enemies, make a friends, and develop their own town. Of course, we don’t have to do difficult operating to control characters. The OS in this game supports our playing and we can enjoy playing with only easy movement of finger. All players have to do is just “tap”, “flick” and “slide”.

the Past typing homework:Something special I did during summer vacation

As you know, I exactly tell you that my summer vacation was filled with part-time job. So, I think I didn’t have something special in this summer. Only one memory which I had experienced in this summer is going Kikuchi valley with my colleague. Kikuchi valley is not water playing spot and people go there to walk around the river and feel great nature of Kikuchi. We went there after some days from end of Bon holidays, so there was not crowded and we could enjoy comfortable green shower and walking around the river. In fact, I want to go ocean and summer festival this summer. I couldn’t do both of things. However, the place where I went finally is wonderful as always.

the Past typing homework:Good and bad points of summer vacation

I think that summer includes both of good points and bad points. There is long vacation for workers and students. Summer vacation or Bon holidays. It is one of good points. Summer festival, sea activities and playing water on river are almost only for summer. Bad points are below. Japanese summer is oppressively hot and humid. After long rainy season, we are exposed influences of typhoon and tropical cyclone. So, Japanese summer season is hard to spend outside. In addition, because of that, people want to stay inside building and they uses air conditioners. It is said one of cause of unexpectedly strong rain.

the Past typing homework:How I study in summer vacation

Actually, I didn't study anything almost day of summer vacation. I did drinking, part-time job, playing games, and wasting time with sleeping instead of studying. In my childhood, it means that during I was elementary school student, junior high school student and high school student; I never had finished my homework of summer vacation until a few days before each final day of holidays. So I don’t have honest custom of studying during summer vacations. I always think that if I finished what all I have to do early before deadline, I could make margin and use it effective. However, this bad custom is my personality. I want to change if I could. Do not delay what you can do today to yesterday. I know this idea is truly correct.

the Past typing homework:What classes I will take

Almost classes which I will take next term imitate classes that I took in spring term. The new classes are below. American Affairs, English Study of movie, and Study of Japanese Economics. To get enough credits to graduate, I have to take many classes. It’s hard for me, but it’s my own fault. The biggest problem of next term is the class named Study of Globalism of Japan. This class is imperative to graduate and it is first period of Thursday. In addition, anyone who was late even as for one minute can’t get in the room. It means that being late equal absent.

the Past typing homework:My vacations plans/preparation

I have two vacation plans now. First one is going to summer festival in Kikuchi city with my university friends. The second is going to beach and play sea activities with my friends of my part time job. To do both of plans, I concern about weather and shift of each friend’s job. According to present information of weather, the day of summer festival fall on the day typhoon will approach. If those days fall on, the summer festival will be canceled. So, all I have to do is making “Teruterubouzu” which is protector of good weather of Japan. I think almost days of summer vacation will be filled with part time job, but I want to do what I have planned few things.

MR2:"MISSION IMPOSSIBLE"

　Today, I introduce to you the first movie from the famous movie series named “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE” produced by Tom Cruise and directed by Brian De Palma. Tom Cruise is also a famous actor and there are a lot of movies in which he was the star.　For example, “Jack Reacher” 2012, “OBLIVION” 2013, “ALL YOU NEED IS KILL” 2014 　ware published each year and I saw them except “ALL YOU NEED IS KILL” on Blu-ray.　Actually, I like his action and science fiction movies and he is one of my favorite actors.

　By the way, do you know how many movies of “M:I” there are? How many impossible　missions did Ethan Hunt who was played by Tom Cruise and he is agent of Special 　Forces named Impossible Mission Force in CIA accomplish? Now, we can see his acting 　in 4 movies till “M:I-4”. His action ability has been developing and becoming refined as 　the years go by and difficulty of missions are rising.

　So, the highlight of this movie is the tense atmosphere and the betrayal. Ethan is an 　excellent agent and he and his team were committed to a mission from CIA. It seemed 　like an easy mission and they use high-tech tools and did a professional performance. 　However, the easy mission change to a hazardous mission when one of his members 　killed by unexpected accident. An oldest member ordered to abort mission, but Ethan　continued because the target is in his sight. Then, the mission was failed. Each member 　was killed by someone and Ethan became the only survivor after all. He asked HQ to 　protect himself from unknown enemy. But, his colleagues suspected him for the　betrayal because he is the only survivor and they tried to arrest him. Ethan noticed that 　he failed into a trap and he escaped from his previous colleagues. So, he decides to find 　out the true betrayer.

　The view point is how Ethan accomplishes this impossible mission which includes 　many unknown enemies and many obstructions. Of course, CG and wire actions and 　famous background music are also fantastic. Two sums up movie and if you have never 　seen it, you should check it out!

BR02-03:The Peach Boy

"Every Monday, the old woman went to the river to wash their clothes."(p.5)
 This is an old story in Japan, named "Momotaro".  It is very famous in Japan and of course, I know.  I know this story but in English, I notice some differences from the Japanese story.  In Japanese, the time the old woman went to the river is not written "every Monday" but written "in one day morning".  And it continues that the old man went to the mountain to lawn mowing and the old woman went to the river to wash their clothes.  However, in English, it is not written anything about the old man.  Of course, it is not necessary but I have heard the sentences for long time, so I feel difference between English and Japanese.  I also haven't known that Japanese "Kibidango" said dumpling in English.
 This book has some nice picture.  The Ogre King is drawn like king and it is interesting.  In Japan, it may be not a king.  If you read this book, you can feel such difference between Japanese and English.  So, I recommend that you read this book.

BR02-02:Owls

"One by one, they take off and fly away."(p.45)

 I'm sure that if you read this book, you must like owls.  This book looks having story, but maybe this is just written about owls.  I could know some kinds of owls, such as pels owl, eagle owl, and snowy owl.  This book also said about owl's life, for example, about some interesting nest.  One is in rabbit burrows.  One is inside a big spiky plant.  And it said about egg, baby, and owl's growing.  Owl's babies are very cute.  The scene babies practice to fly is very good.  At the last, the babies fly away and become adults owls.

 In this book, there are a lot of nice pictures.  The pictures of owls are very cute.  I'm sure that you think so, too.  I recommend that you read this book.

BR02-01:Incredible Creatures

"This largest of all creatures feeds on some of the very smallest of sea animals."(p.28)


 In this book, there are a lot of creatures, such as flamingos, grasshopper, echidna, crocodile, tortoises, snakes, and more.  This book shew me what I didn't know about these kinds animals.  For example, the way kangaroos kids get into their mother's pouch.  First, they go forward and get into the pouch.  Next, they turn around in the pouch.  Then, they look out from the pouch.  There are many interesting things about animals in this book!
 Also, in this book, there are many illustrations and it makes me to understand easier, such as the way kangaroos kids get into their mother's pouch.  Bug's illustration was disgusting little, but almost all of them are very real and nice.  I recommend that you read this book!

MR1:“INDIANA JONES and the RAIDERS of the LOST ARK”

Today, I’m going to introduce to you the movie named “INDIANA JONES and the　RAIDERS of the LOST ARK”. This title is one of famous movies from the “INDIANA　JONES” series directed by Steven Allan Spielberg and this is the first of movie of the　series in 1981. All series are adventure movies and we can see fantastic and mysterious　adventures in places almost we don’t know or have never seen. It was released in 1981　and in those days, Japan was experiencing a bubble economy, in addition, I and my　friends, even the 4th grade student, weren’t even born yet. So, I watch this movie 35　years after it was released.

The main character Jones who was played by Harrison Ford is a professor of　archeology in a university in the United States and he is also an explorer. The summary　of story is below. In the first scene, Jones and his party are in the jungle and they’re　looking to find treasure of the local tribe. Jones faces betrayal by one of his party　members and also the ancient traps of a dungeon. However, after he overcomes those　obstructions, he can finally get the golden statue.

But, his mishap is not over yet, he changes bagged sand he prepared before he went into　dungeon to get the golden statue because the final trap is activated with trick of using　weight. It seems to be successful, but weight of the sand instead of golden statue is not　enough. So, he has to escape from dungeon because the final trap activates. He can　escape from there but, he is robbed of his golden statue by his nemesis. The man who　takes Jones’s statue controls the people of the native tribe and he orders them to kill　Jones in their local language. Jones run away and boards an airplane quickly, and then　he returns to his home country. Those are the introductory part of the whole story.

A couple days later, Jones gets request from the investigating section of the US army to　research the “ARK” that the Nazis are looking for in Egypt. To find the “ARK”, he rides　on plane and going to meet a woman who has an important key item to help find it.

After I saw this movie, I thought that many people died because of grotesque things like guns, traps, and other factor. We should not let children easily to see it. But, story and action scenes are so fun. Harrison Ford is such a nice and cool guy. I’m surprised
