Blog#10 School Festival

Name: Shuhei Hamada

 

I joined the school festival as a member of the music circle, named "Keiongaku-bu". We opened a music cafe where one can listen to music while eating foods. Reffering to music, from J-POP tunes to British Rock tunes we played various songs. In foods, we mainly sold rice balls.  

 

In this place, I played 3 songs of the Beatles, "Back in the USSR", "Helter Skelter", "Hey Jude". But unfortunetely, chorous mikes didn't work well when we performed, so I regreted not to be able to make a beautiful sounds. So next time I will try to get better sounds.

   I went to the school festival in Gakushuin University with my friend on sunday. I enjoyed the stamp rally. Last year, I also did it and got two bottled juices. This year, I collected 25 stamps and got some cosmetics. It was fun for me because I could see various displays and went around the campus. So I will do it next year.
   And I ate a piece of meat of a frog! It was an entirely new experience for me. It tasted like a chicken. It wasn't unsavory but I didn't eat it any more.

   Not having much time, I didn't see some open-air stages so I wanna enjoy them next year.

I visited school festival in Gakushuin university on friday. I'm not with the club anything, so I came just with my friends. One of the friends, Hitomi, belongs to a dance circle. We watched their dances, we were carried away by her performances. She always has a smile on her face but at that time she was very cool and attractive. I had a wonderful time and I feel like saying to her good job! On the festival days, both sides of the street are lined with food wagons. I was pleased with that sight.

Blog#9: A special place I've been

   I'll introduce my special place, MUZA KAWASAKI Symphony Hall. Do you know MUZA? It was built in 2003 as symbol of music town Kawasaki. Many concerts are held in the hall. MUZA's equipments of sound are great, so musical instruments sound very good!!

  The hall have memories for me, because when I was high school student and I belonged to guitar ensemble club, I played the guitar there for the last concert. To have played the guitar in such a dig hall was wonderful thing for me! I think I could play the great guitar performance. So MUZA is a special place for me.
   I never go to the hall since I quit my club. I wanna see a concert held in MUZA. Please go there for once.

Blog#9: A close friend I've had

Writer Watanabe Sunao

Do you have important friends? I have some important friends. Today, I’ll introduce the one of them.

Her name is Sumika. She met me at the age of a tenth grader. She was the same class with me then. And I and she belonged to the same club activities!

I and she ate a lunch together and came home together. And we talked about the various things including the thing of club activities and the thing of the hobby. It was very happy time.

At the opportunity to meet her, it was rare since I graduated from a high school. However, I meet and talk with her once a week recently. Her part-time job is the same as me. This is really accidental, but I’m very glad to meet her frequently.

 I want to get along well with her all the time from now on.

(Because she hated placing a photograph in the blog, I cannot place the photograph. I'm sorry.)

Blog#9: A special place

Name: Shuhei Hamada

 

I'll introduce a special place I've been to. The place is the Beatles bar in Roppongi called "Abbey Road". I've been there this summer and had great experience. In the bar, "The Parrots", the Beatles tributed band, performs just like the Beatles, but perhaps the band  play better than the original. And the band is friendly to famous musicians, for example, "Oasis", "Paul Gilbert", "Arctic Monkeys" and so on. To my surprise, "The Beach Boys" came to the bar few days before I went there. Fortunately, I could talk with a member of "The Parrots" after their performance and I said to him that I also had the Beatles tribute band, so he gave me advice and his pick. I was too glad. Moreover, I took a picture with them.  

And I took an offer to join the next year "The Beatles Convension" from the Abbey Road bar's manager. In this event, amateur beatles bands can come to the stage. But my band need to pass the audition to perform there. So,  I'll practice the Beatles' tunes every day for this event.
