Christmas present??

When I was a child, I was very sure that there is Santa Claus!!
Unfortunately, I don't remember that I had ever gotten  presents from Santa Claus. When I was a child, I had many things that I wanted to get. But now, I don’t really care!! I have two brothers and three sisters. So, I think it was very hard for Santa Claus to give us presents. If I was only one to get something from Santa Claus, I might have quarrel with my brothers. But, thanks for many brothers and sisters, my family has a birth day many times in a year and I can eat birth day cakes. This picture is not Christmas present, but I got a flower as birthday present from my friend. I was really happy!! So, for this Christmas present, I want to give something to my friends!!

Manga!!

Look at this picture! Do you know him? He was called 'God of Manga' in Japan. His name is Osamu Tezuka.

I'm going to introduce about Japanese comic and animation. He made a lot of work for example, Astroboy or Blackjack, Jungle Emperor Leo. Astroboy is the first series of animation in Japan. He raised several revolutions in manga world. After so many years, his work still is loved by many people.

Now, Japanese comic and animation became famous in even other countries. WEEKLY JUMP is very popular comic magazine in Japan. That is also published in some other countries and some popular Japanese comic such as Dragon Ball, One Piece and NARUTO are translated. The biggest circulation is 653 million copies and that was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Studio Ghibli is representative animation company of Japan. I really like Princess Mononoke. I think that Mononoke Hime is the best production of a lot. Spilited Away has won some prize!! In this summer, Studio Ghibli released new work, The Borrower Arrietty based on the fantasy novel The Borrowers by Mary Norton. Unfortunately, I don't watch this movie yet. Songs that is used in movies is really nice too. The history of comic and animation is still short, but this culture is part of our everyday life!!

Hou about my schedule?

I would like to introduce my daily life. I have about 12 or 16 classes a week. On Friday, I have classes two times a month. I have to take more classes than other students because I take course curriculum to be an English teacher.

I'm out of part-time job due to injury lately, but I usually work at convenience stores about 3 or 4 times a week. It was hard to remember name or place of goods at first. But, I was getting used to work lately. When I was said that 'Thank you' by customers, I'm really happy and I can think that I'll do my best. That work is busy, but I enjoy and learn a lot from that.

When I get free time, I go to find a beautifu place. There is wonderful nature around my city. So, I can see or take photo of nice view. I love everything around here.

Thank you!!

My club activity!!

When I was a high school student, I belonged to marching band club.
So, I belong to brass band club at the university now.
When I saw the performance for the first time, I was really moved.
My part is percussion. I played a bass drum and tenor drum.

The top of picture show Bass drum. We usually called BD!!
It's very difficult to play well because we must beat together with other member's sound.

The bottom of picture is quint. That is so heavy!!
That practice is very hard, but I can feel happy and it's very exciting!!!

My Hometown!

My family lives in Shizuoka!
Shizuoka is very nice to live.
We can see a lot of nature and sea in Shizuoka.
If you come to Shizuoka, you can spend comfortably in any season.

It is famous for green tea.
The tea of Shizuoka is know as much as this one of Kyoto.
I like to drink green tea. I think Shizuoka's tea is best one for me.

This picture is Mt Fuji. We can see also it in Shizuoka. Mt fuji is well known as the highest mountain in Japan. That is very beautiful!

If you have a chance to visit, Be sure to come and see Shizuoka!

Nice to meet you!
