KAIJI

I watched a movie named KAIJI on TV several weeks ago. It was about some games like gambles. People who have much debts can take part in the games. If the players fault, death or hard work wait for them. Main characters are Kaiji Ito played by Tatsuya Fujiwara, one of the debt collectors played by Yuuki Amami, one of the organizers of the games played by Teruyuki Kagawa, and one of the players played by Kenichi Matsuyama. Kaiji challenged 3 games and he won the final game, but his prize money are cheated in the end. The story is continuing and the sequel will release next year.

My Favorite flower

I think almost girls or women like flower. Of course I like many kinds of flower, for example, cherry blossom, rose, lily, sunflower, cosmos, and so on. Though I like flowers which are sold at a florist, I like wildflowers better. For example, I love violet, dandelion, Michaelmas daisy which is called SHION in Japanese, and so on. When I find a flower, I take a picture. I took some pictures yesterday, because I went to Takachiho-kyo with my family. I could take pictures of camellia and some wildflowers. I didn't know the name of the wildflowers, so I want to search it. As you can see one of my topics named “My Favorite season”, many wildflowers bloom in Spring. I'm looking forward to coming next Spring from now on!!

My brother's birthday

November 21st was my brother's birthday. He became 12 years old and he wanted to go to somewhere so my father decided to go to Takachiho-kyo. It is in Miyazaki prefecture, but near to Aso, so we had to wake up early. There are beautiful deep blue river and some people were canoeing. There are also beautiful mountain with colored leaves so we took many pictures with it. It was warm day so we had a very good time there!! When we went back home, we ate cake and I gave him a present. It was a jigsaw puzzle of ONE PIECE, because he likes the characters of ONE PIECE. He was pleased so I was happy, too!!

My Favorite class

My favorite class is American Literary History. We watched many DVDs of American Literary in the class, for example, The Last of The Mohicans, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, and so on. We watched whole of that's three DVDs, because we must write report about them. I chose Huck Finn in spring semester and we had to write about Gatsby in autumn semester. Teacher tells us interesting information about authors, literary, or movies sometimes. By the way, I like American Literary so I read some books when I find interesting one. I wrote about it in my blog's book reviews before. For example, I read Little Women, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The House of the Seven Gables, and so on. If you don't understand a literary in class, I recommend that you should read the book about it!

ZOO KEEPER

In Zookeeper, the animals at the Franklin Park Zoo love their kindhearted caretaker, Griffin Keyes (Kevin James).

The animals, in a panic, decide to break their time-honored code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk!

ZOO KEEPER is really interesting, and I think it looks like Night Museum, because the animals can talk human words. Main casts in the movie are Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, and Leslie Bibb. Kavin plays Griffin Keyes who is a Zookeeper, and he decides to leave the zoo in order to get a girl! The animals in the zoo love him, so they are in a panic. ZOO KEEPER will be in theaters on July 8th, 2011. I'm looking forward to watching it in theater!! If you want more information of it, you can go to the website of ZOO KEEPER:)

Honey and Clover

I watched a DVD a few weeks ago. It was Honey and Clover, and it is called HACHIMITSU to KURO-BA- or HACHI-KURO in Japanese. Main characters are Hagu played by Yu Aoi, Takemoto by Sho Sakurai, Mayama by Ryo Kase, Ayu by Megumi Seki, and Morita by Yusuke Iseya. I like him recently, because he played Shinsaku Takasugi in Ryoma-Den which is a Japanese historical drama. Shinsaku Takasugi is one of my favorite Japanese historical people. By the way, HACHI-KURO is about love, especially, one-sided love. For example, Ayu loves Mayama, but he loves Rika who is his boss at an office and she is a widow, and Takemoto loves Hagu but she loves arts... However, Morita and Hagu may like each other. If you watch HACHI-KURO, you will feel love, I think:)

My Favorite animal

My favorite animal is cats. I don't have pets but 2 cats come to my house sometimes from the next house. One is a white cat, and the other one is a tortoise-shell cat called MIKE-NEKO in Japanese. I think there are many kinds of cat, but I like American Shorthair the best. I want to have the cat in the future so I try to take care of the next door's cats! They like dried bonito called KATSUO-BUSHI in Japanese, and dried small sardines called IRIKO or NIBOSHI in Japanese. When I hold them, they are very soft. However their long hair are attached my clothes or fall on the floor so I don't want to keep my cat in the room. In conclusion, I like cats and I want to have my cat someday.

Q10

I watch a drama every Saturday's night from October. The name of the drama is Q10, and it is called "cute", not "Q-ten". Main characters are Heita played by Takeru Satoh, and Q10 played by Atsuko Maeda. They are high school students, but Q10 is a robot. Their teacher played by Yuji Tanaka named Kyuto Karen to Q10. Main theme of the drama is youth of Heita, Q10, and their classmates who have problems about love, future, family, and so on. I think Q10's talking and moving are so funny. For example, Q10 called Waka-Danna to Heita because she likes listening to Japanese RAKUGO. I'm looking forward to watching next story!

Characters of Harry Potter

There are many characters in Harry Potter's series. For example, Hogwarts' students and teachers, other wizards, Muggles who are not wizards, and so on. Harry is only one people who arrive against Voldemort's magic. Lord Voldemort is a dark wizard and he killed Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter. Harry lives with the Dursleys who are Muggles and last relative to Harry's real parents. The Dursleys hate wizard and magical power so they hate Harry, too. Rubeus Hagrid who is one of teachers at Hogwarts took Harry to Hogwarts. As you can read, there are Harry's enemies like Voldemort and Harry's supporters like Hagrid in the wizarding world. My favorite character is Sirius Black. He is a godfather of Harry so he wanted to live with Harry but he couldn't. He killed by Bellatrix Lestrange who is one of the Death Eaters. Unfortunately, Harry's supporters gradually killed by the Death Eaters or Voldemort. There are many characters so you can find your favorite character certainly:)

Books of Harry Potter

I've read all series of Harry Potter in Japanese before. I respect Yuko Matsuoka who is a translator of this series. I think her translation is wonderful because she can translate English funny words, like slang, perfectly. For example, Fred and George Weasley who are Ron's older twin brothers' jokes and the terms in the wizarding world. After I read her translation, I got to like Harry Potter and I thought I want to be a translator! I have the book titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in English, but I haven't read it yet, because reading British English was difficult for me before. However, I think I can read it now, so I'll try to read again someday;) If you watched the movies only, I hope you to read the books in Japanese or in English once!!

Actors of Harry Potter

I've watched the movies of Harry Potter series before. I like actors in the movies. Harry Potter played by Daniel Radcliffe, Ron Weasley by Rupert Grint, and Hermione Granger by Emma Watson were very cute, because they were very young at Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone which is the first story. They grow up along the story, of course, so they are cool now. Other actors, for example, playing teachers at Hogwarts are also nice. However, there was a sad thing about Albus Dumbledore who is the principal of Hogwarts. Richard Harris who played Dumbledore until Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets died in 2002, so Dumbledore is played by Michael Gambon from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. By the way, you can watch Harry, Ron, and Hermione's growth, if you watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which is the last story released on November 19th in Japan!

My Favorite vacation memory

My favorite vacation memory is visiting Ohita with my family last summer. First day, we went to a large bridge named YUME-OH-TSURIHASHI. When we crossed it, it shook and it was wet a little because of a light rain, so I felt scary. After that, we went to YUFUIN and there were many shops to buy something, and there were many sightseeing places. Next day, we went to an aquarium named UMITAMAGO. There were many beautiful fishes, penguins, baby otters, a wooperlooper, and so on. I thought jellyfishes were very fascinated because they were illuminated beautifully. We could see dolphins’ show and it was excited. My father and my brother went to Mt. Takasaki during my mother and I went shopping. My brother said that there were many monkeys. We had very good time then!
