Blog#8:My favorite novelist

I'm sorry for lating update. How are you doing? Now then, I w'll introduce my favorite novelist today. I am very fond of reading books and so often read books in my free time. Do you know Kotaro Isaka? I like he and his novels very much. He published first fyll-length novel in 2000. It is said that His style is mystery sometimes. I don't like mystery, horror, S.F. ...and so on. But his novels are refreshing and warm in spite of mystery writer. The characters in a novel reveal them personality. I recommend "Sabaku(=a desert)" to everyone. This work is a story of youth,  is described five university students's life. I sympathyed this novel and I like very much Mr.Isaka. Please be sure to read once!

Blog#8: Tokyo Disney Sea

Writer: Natsue Yagio

  Have you ever been to Tokyo Disney Sea? I have never been to there. However my brother went to there with his friends in this summer, and he bought me a present, a teddy bear named Duffy.
  Duffy was handcrafted by Minnie for Mickey. Since he was in the duffel bag, Mickey named him Duffy. When Mickey goes out for trip, Duffy is always together. He has a girl friend, SherryMae.
  Duffy is very cute! I didn't know him much, but seeing him, I liked him. Now, Halloween events are held at Tokyo Disney Sea. I want to go to there in the near future!

Blog#7: London city

Writer: Sunao Watanabe

    Do you know the capital England? Of course ,I know…it's London! Today, I'll introduce this city.
   London is located in the southern part of the Britain Island. As for the population, approximately 7,100,000 people, an area are approximately 1,600 square kilometers. Many famous places are in London. For example, there are the British Museum and the Tower of London. In addition, there are four world heritages. One of the those is Westminster Abbey. The building is a Gothic building, and it is the 17th century that it was completed. In the site, a lot of celebrities including Newton and Chaucer are buried.
 I have visited London once. But, I don't remember it well because it's a thing more than ten years ago. So, I want to come once again as soon as possible.



Blog#7: London Olympic Games

Name: Natsue Yagio

   This summer was Olympic year. Did you watch the London 2012 Olympic Games? I like various sports, so I watched the Olympic Games every night. Now, I'll introduce one of my favorite Olympic games.

   I was deeply impressed by Gymnastics; Men's Individual All-Around. Kouhei Uchimura from Japan won Men's All-Around gold. I got excited watching his performance!! It was great and so beautiful! He was stunning in 6 events; Floor Exercise, Vault, Parallel Bars, Horizontal Bar, Rings and Pommel Horse.  I think that to do 6 events without misses is very difficult. However his all performances have few misses, they have the beauty and accuracy. I became his fun.
   I'm looking forward to the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games! I wanna watch Gymnastics again.

Blog#7:My upcoming event

Name:Shuhei Hamada


I will talk about my upcoming event. It's music live that is called Meji-Rock. This event is held in Gakushuin University at Fujimi Hole on September 9. I'm gonna come to the stage and play two songs as a member of band. The songs I'm gonna play are "While my guitar gently weeps", "All those years ago". These tunes were composed by George Harrison, one of the Beatles member.
"While my guitar gently weeps" was composed in time when George belonged to the Beatles. In the tune, famous guitarist Eric Clapton helped George record it. It's so quiet and cool one.
"All those years ago" was composed after the Beatles broke up. It was time when John Lennon, one of the Beatles, died. So, this tune was composed for John Lennon. I really like lyrics of this tune.
So, if you have time, please come and listen to these songs if you please! Of couse, you can listen to many kinds of  music free.

Blog#6: Southern All Stars

Name: Natsue Yagio

   Do you know “Southern All Stars”? I think the group is one of the most famous rock band groups in Japan. I’ ll introduce the band.
   “Southern All Stars” made its debut with “Katteni Sindobatto” in1975. The members are five, a vocalist, a bass guitarist, a drummer, a keyboard and percussion. They have put 53 single CDs on sale by now. The 44th single “TSUNAMI” is most popular of their single CDs. The song which was put on sale in 2000 has sold about 2.93 million by now. The record has taken first place of the successive ranking of the oricon as single CD. It is amazing record, isn’t it? I really like the song.(The video is just guitar version.)
   The reason why I like them is that the words of their songs are so beautiful, and match the melodies. Almost their songs are written words and composed by Keisuke Kuwata. There are various songs, for example up-tempo songs, ballades, satirical jokey songs and so on, so I enjoy listening to their songs.
   In2008, they announced that they will stop their activities as “Southern All Stars” for an indefinite period from 2009. I was sad to hear the news. I don’t know when they start their activities as the band, but I hope that “Southern All Stars” will come back as the band!!
   The vocalist, Keisuke Kuwata, has been active with solo since 1985. I like the 5th solo single “Matsurino Ato” in 1994. His new album, I LOVE YOU-now & forever-, will be put on sale on July 18, so please listen to his solo songs too!

Blog#6: My favorite band

Writer  Sunao Watanabe

 I'll introduce my favorite band. My favorite band is "Ikimonogakari". They are three members. All of them are from Kanagawa prefecture. They made their debut in 2006. Their first song is "SAKURA". When I listened for the first time, I thought this song is beautiful. Then, I like their song.
 They are very popular band now. They have released more than 20 CDs since a debut to now. I like "Seishunrain" the best of all their songs. This song is very fresh and makes me cheerful. They sometimes give a concert in the whole country. A lot of audience comes their concert.
 I hope their popularity continues for a long time.
