J-POP

recently i was interested in j-pop very much. last year i always listened the foreign music because i thought j-pop became bad these days, but my music life changed since i went back to my hometown in winter vakation. i met and played with my high school friends. when they drove, went to karaoke and using personal computer, they were singing or listning to j-pop. i automatically listened to them, and i gradually started to think j-pop is very good. now i am addicted to j-pop. i listening to j-pop count down in radio until midnight and singing along the radio. maybe my voice is released from my room and my neighbors must be my singing voice, but i don't mind because i like singing song. nobody cannot disturb my hobby!! let's go to karaoke before i am going to leave for south africa!!

Oh, Shit!!!

as i posted last blog, i joined the ceremony which was held by kansai tv. the number of people who took part in the ceremony was 112, and 4 of them would be selected to join the ceremony in aultlia for 10 days by the stuffs of kansai tv. it was so difficult to be selected. when i had a rest in waiting room in kansai tv building, i was called by one of stuff in kansai ty. i did not know why i was called, and i listened to him. he told me i was selected to one of the candidates of the members who would go to austlia. i was so surprised and happy because i would be able to go to austlia for 10 days by free because all the money would be paid by kansai tv. next, he told me when i should go austlia. it was from Feb. 15th to 25th. oh, shit!!! i will be in south africa in that time, so i reluctantly refused his proposal..... how unhappy i was.

Opernball in Japan

Do you know what the opernball is? Most of people probably do not know it. The opernball is traditional Austlian ceremony in which new adults like us take part. since 4 years ago, the opernball is held in Japan, too. the sponcer is Kansai TV. I was sugested to participate in it by my older club mate, and i decided to join it. there were practices for five days. we practiced chorus, handbell and dance. chorus and handbell were so easy for me, but dance was difficult. it took for me long time to remember the routine. the real opernball was held in last Tuesday. there were many spectators, so I was little nervous, but I did my best!! I kept smiling during the dance. it was very good experience for me!!
the twin TV star, Mana-Kana was invited to this ceremony as the guests. i saw real Mana-Kana!! They were very cute!! I was so excited!!

Coming Of Age Day

My Coming Of Age Day was very very memorable!! There are two reasons. First, I could meet a lot of old friends. There are many friends I have never seen since Jr. high graduation. We lookde more aged than before, but our feelings are still young!! We saugut to return to Jr. high students. After the ceremony, I went to the Jr. high class party. We drunk drunk drunk and spent all night with karaoke. I could have a very very good time! Second, there were many people who changed from when they had been Jr. high students. It was interesting to observe their changes. Most of the girls became beautiful because of good kimono and making up!! They were really beautiful. I met the girl who had been an idol of my high school. She was very beautiful! Though the time I chatted with her was short, I was very glad. If I did not join the Coming Of Age Ceremony, I must haven't feel that happy experiences. My Coming Of Age day was excellent!!

Hello from Tokyo

hey everyone!! i am in Tokyo now. i am staying at one of my friends' house living in Tokyo. his university is in Tokyo, so he is living in tokyo. i had thought i wanted to visit tokyo someday before my studying abroad in south africa. i went to tokyo by using only local trains because it was so cheap, but it took so long time, about 10 hours. on our way to tokyo, we visited yokohama which is famous for the china town and went there. there were so many chinese restaurants!! i was so excited because all the dishes the restaurants served looked very yummy. we could not decide which restaurant was good. at last, we chose the buffe style one. it was very good. i was so satisfied with the dishes.
there is two things i was surprised. first, it was the amount of people. we can't find any places there are no people. second thing is very useful public transportation. it is more useful than that of osaka!! the public transportations, in particular the trains, were like a spider web.
