The OC

I have been watching The OC. This is American drama. Now I have watched vol.10 season one. There are some people I like, and hate. I like Anna. Do you know? Anna is a clever girl and she likes Seth. Her expressions are very cute, but Seth likes another girl whose name Summer. And Who I don’t like is Oliver. He is a little strange, but everyone thinks he is a good person. Actually, his parents have a lot of money, and big house. Ryan and Marissa are couple. Marissa thinks Oliver is a good friend but Oliver doesn’t think so. He loves Marissa. Ryan knows that, he tried to make distance them, but Marissa thought what Ryan did is out of jealous. One day, the incident was happen. (129)

Tamana

A few days ago, I went to Tamana which is my home town, and then I drank beer with my family. My oldest brother is 28 years old now. I had heard he got new job a month ago, so I was going to talk with him about his new job, but he quit his new job only a month and he got another job. It surprised me. My brother quit his job many time. Maybe he has changed his job 5 or 6 times. Now he works at pachinko hall. My mother doesn’t like gambling, so she is against bout his new job. What I feel happy when I backed to my home town, I got 15kg’s rice, and 2,000 yen’s gift card. I haven’t known rice is expensive until I live alone. I got 15kg’s rice, maybe I don’t need to buy it 5 months. Thanks to my mother!! (151)

SOFFet

SOFFet is my famous artist. This is two men grope. Their music is very pop and including jazz and hip hop factors. If you have never heard their music, I recommend “kimigairunara”. This is pop tune and doesn’t leave from my head. If you heard this song in morning, the day will be happy day. Please open windows and take some coffee and listen casually. (65)

A cold

I caught a cold. My nose runs and I have a cough. I don't catch a cold often. But I have a good appetite. If I have girlfriend, cold is not just bad thing because we can feel love. (39)

mobile phone

I want a new mobile phone but it is expensive for me. It cost me around 60,000yen too expensive. I have used my mobile phone for 2 years. I want to get some music. Recently I go to electric shop often. There are a lot of new products. I don't know what is match with me. Although I use Docomo's one, one of my friend recommends me Softbank. I wanted to iphone but I was told iphone is hard to use. (81)

Ame- talk

I watched "ame-talk" yesterday. It was very fun. The guest was Kazuko Kurosawa from Morisanchyuu which is a popular comedy trio. She was unique and fun. She can show her pubic hair but she can't show her side. She is a little strange. She can sing with free words and it has no meaning. I laughed a lot last night. (60)

Why?

Christmas is coming. I don't feel so good. I don't have girl friend. Almost all of Japanese are Buddhist I think. Why Japanese celebrate Christmas? If I have a girl friend or some enjoyable incidence will happen in Christmas, I'm looking forward Christmas. (43)

rice

I have to buy rice. I bought rice 5kg but now there is no rice. Rice is not cheap for me. It cost 1,500 yen for 5kg. When I had lived with my mother I didn't think about foods because there were good foods. Thanks mom. I went to a drug store yesterday. I was surprised. I went to drug store but why there are a lot of foods!? Is there a super market!? The drug store has milk, rice, snack, ice cream, egg, and so on. I was surprised. (90)

Maidenhair trees

Maidenhair tree in KGU is beautiful. A lot of leaves fall down in this season and it likes a yellow carpet. Cleaners cleaned road in KGU today. I don't know when they wake up. Maybe they wake up very early. Thank for cleaners. (43)

I watched “You got served”. This is cool movie. A few days ago, I watched “8mile”. “You got served” is like a dance version of that film.
David is a top of dance in street and he has good friends. In particular, Elle is the best friend. They are in the same group which everybody thinks the team is No.1. One day the trouble occurred. Elle was done violence, he was wounded and he got couldn’t dance. “If David had been there, I wouldn’t become like this.” Their relationship was broken.
They made other teams each other. But they couldn’t dance well because they lost best partner each other. They made an application to a big dance contest with deferent team.
The final was Elle’s team vs. their rival. The victory of defeat didn’t attach. So, exceptional rule was told from judges. It is street style and can choose anybody. Elle and David tagged again, got victory.
“You got served” means “even if you lose you can get some good things from there”. I like this movie. (177)

Pot party

I’m planning a pot party with my friends. This season is very cold, so we need to warm with hot foods and alcohol. What kind of pot dish do you recommend? I like sukiyaki. But if we drink, it wouldn’t match. Sukiyaki matches rice. I like spicy one but one of my friend doesn’t like it. Would we rather go izakaya? (61)

Hashigo fast foods

Yesterday, I went to McDonalds and ate mega Mac set. It was hard to eat. After that I went to Kentucky Fried Chicken. I ate twister and 2 original chickens. I had wanted to eat original chicken long time. Yesterday was my payday so my appetite was burst. I might get weight. (52)

8 mile

I watched 8 mile. This film was released 5 years ago so it is not new one. I was interested in this film. EMINEM is a famous rap MC. This is the only film he acts. Although I didn’t like rap so much, after watching this film now I am interested in rap.
Have you ever watched this film? This is very cool movie, so real. The stage is Detroit. Generally rap is done among the blacks, but EMINEM is white. People had stereotype about it, and they hooted at him like "why white do rap? This is not your town!" He couldn't rap. But he has good friends, and they considered EMINEM is a good rapper. He was supported by them, he started showing his ability. Finally, he beat the rival at the local rap battle MC. This film is very cool. (143)

I am legend

I watched DVD "I am legend". Before I watched this DVD I thought it is like a human, but it wasn't. Actually, it was like action and horror. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a doctor and the last man on the earth. Other people were dead by a viral infection and they changed to like a zombie. He want to save them he study how to save them how to normalize them. He searched other survivor. And he got other two survivors (Anne and Ethan).

Why she hired Andrea? But Andrea got to change, her clothes got to fashionable day by day, and she work hard for Miranda. Miranda got to trust her and Andrea too. One of theme of this film "which is important love or work?" I'm a man. If I marry I would work. But If I were I woman, could I work in future? Maybe I can't. They work very hard and Miranda got a social position. What is happy?(130)

Kisaragi

I watched a DVD that title "Kisaragi". This is a movie about an idol's fan. The fan is 5 men Iemoto, Yuji Oda, Ichigomusume, Yasuo, and Snake. The idol whose name Miki Kisaragi died a year ago. She committed suicide. They decide to get together and talk about her. Usually, they talk on internet's chat and that is first time they met. Iemoto boasted his correction about that idol. This is main event of this gathering. But Yuji Oda had another event. He didn't think Miki Kisaragi killed herself. He has a target; he thought Ichigomusume is a criminal because he writes on her site her secret. Yasuo is not good looks. Snake works a shop. They are crazy fan of the idol.

Gradually they got to know who they were. First Iemoto is a policeman who has a lot of correction about the idol, and he sent letters the number is 200. Oda Yuji is the idol's manager, and he had come to gathering to kill Ichigomusume. Snake is a friend of the idol, and he had gone to her house. Yasuo is a friend from the idol's early childhood, and she loved him. Finally, Ichigomusume is her father he is fan too.

Why she died? They were seeking the answer. Iemoto and other four fans started inference. Only Iemoto had no connection with her. One of them is her manager, friend, lover, and father. Finally, they solved her death. She didn't commit suicide, it was an accident. But this inference had one question. Why she died the point? There were no important things where her body founded except letters from Iemoto. (273)

Rainy season has gone and hot days have come. I wanted rainy season to go away, but now I want this hot season to go away. But one of the good things in this season is that washed clothes dry soon.
