Simon & Garfunkel:A hazy shade of winter

2007-06-20T23:52:00.000+09:00

"A hazy shade of winter" was the theme song of Japanese drama "Ningen・shikkaku" in 1994.
The drama made me an impression,so the song remained in me.

The song's tempo is lightly,but its melody make listener feel sad.
Because the song's image is "a winter good-bye".

But the drama's theme didn't matched the song,I think.
"Bridge over troubled water" matched the drama's theme rather.
Final time of the drama,"Bridge over troubled water" was played at staff roll.
Exector thinked like my thinking?

Queen:Another one bites the dust

2007-06-18T19:18:00.000+09:00

I knew one of the famous rock band "Queen" at elementary school.
Because "We are the champions" was used at field day.
But I didn't mind the singer.

Several years after,I read the occult comic.
It used many European songs in the comic.

One of it was "Another one bites the dust".
I was very interested the song.
#I can't write the reason deeply(^ _ ^ ;)

It made an impression for me.
It's sound likes driving,and mysterious.

I still like this song.

John Lennnon:Imagine

2007-06-17T00:58:00.000+09:00

I practiced to sing "Imagine" at junior high school's English.

Junior high school's English teacher liked music.
So she made us study English of singing European music.

We sang it easyly.Because it is slow tempo and it's word is easy to remember.
I can sing it still now in Karaoke( ^ ^ ).

The song shows John's messeage.
"Imagine all the people living life in peace."
We never forget the word.

Green Day:Minority

2007-06-15T01:43:00.000+09:00

First time I heard Green Day's music was six years ago.
I borrowed their best album 'International Super Hits' from my university's senior.

"Minority" is eighteenth song of the best album.
It is cheerful and airy song.

They sing "I want to be the minority".
They want to go their own way.
It is important for us not to be affected by other people.

But it is important to hear the advice.
We have to acquire our sense of proportion.

Stevie Wonder:Sir Duke

2007-06-14T02:27:00.000+09:00

I have a friend who loves Stevie Wonder's musics.
He secured two seats of the concert in Japan on February.He planed to go to the concert with his friend who loves Stevie Wonder's musics,too.

But they quarreled each other before one week of the concert.
And my friend asked me to go the concert!Sure,I went to the concert.

Stevie Wonder looked younger than real age.His voice was clear and powerful,so I was overwhelmed during the concert.

"Sir Duke" is one of his most famous song.The song's rhythm is light and funny.
When he sang it,all of the audience rose to their feet.The moment was a highlight scene of the concert.

After the concert I challenged to sing "Sir Duke" at karaoke.
But I couldn't( > < ).
I need more English skill to sing up-tempo song like it...

Oasis:Whatever

2007-06-13T00:32:00.000+09:00

Oasis is English rock band.It is formed by Gallagher brothers.
They are impressed by The Beatles,so they covered some The Beatles' songs.
For example,"I am the Walrus".

"Whatever" is the best song of them,I think.

It's melody is like a river,and make the listener feel free.
I recommended my university's senior the song,he liked this song too( ^ _ ^ ).

The song was played in car commercial five years ago.
But I forget what car commercial used the song(-_-;).

The Beatles:Across the Universe

2007-06-11T23:58:00.000+09:00

The Beatles is most favorite foreign artist of mine.
Their musics evolved between 1962 to 1970.
So,before they disbanded,they created many good musics.

"Across the Universe" is the best song of them,I think.
It's music is slow tempo and has dark mood.
But John's voice is very powerful! And it contains hope.

But there are two problems.
I don't know what language of middle of the word and why John used Hindu word(-_-;).

Business trip at Sapporo again.( > < )

2007-06-07T23:29:00.000+09:00

Tomorrow,I will have to go Sapporo at business trip.
Purpose is to do additional operation.

Cause of occuring additional operation is recognition difference between we and sales department.
It is a simple miss,but we made custmors annoy.
We will not make mistake such this case.

But tomorrow is Friday.
I can go sightseeing at Sapporo?

Business trip＠Sapporo

2007-06-06T23:50:00.000+09:00

I went to bussiness trip at Sapporo yesterday and today.
Purpose was to supply new nursing system program.

Operation was on schedule and succeed.
Because I and colleagues prepared perfectly.
We have to keep not to trouble customer in mind.

But I didn't have any time to visit Goryokaku,Erimomisaki,Akanko etc...
Next I visit Hokkaido,I will go sightseeing!

It is important to argue hardly?

2007-06-04T23:49:00.000+09:00

Today,I argued with my boss.
The agenda is "How do we offer programs better?".

But it was a very diffcult agenda.I and boss had differ opinion.
We blamed the opnion each other...

Then,I sayed just one idea by chance.
It triggered to solve the problem!

To argue hardly is the solution of problems?
But too hardly,it is cause of quarrels(sweat).

My immediate targets

2007-06-03T19:16:00.000+09:00

My immediate targets are next five things.

1.To get Financial Planner's grade 3&2.
2.To get over 650 points at TOEIC test.
3.To get more better Spanish skill.
4.To get more better tennis skill.

I will write this blog as many as possible to get over 650 points at TOEIC test!
And I have to go to my perents' home to get the spanish dictionary and textbook.I used them my university years.

It is hard to achieve the targets.But I believe "If you say give up,its end of the game".
I never say give up and I'll do my best!

Golden Week

2007-05-07T22:17:00.000+09:00

I had nine straight holidays in 'Golden Week' this year.
During Golden Week,I enjoyed lot.

First,I practice playing tennis.
I will play the tennis game with my friends next Saturday.
If I lose,rivals call me "Empty man".So,I have to win the game!

Second,I ate delicious pasta.
"Ghiottone" is good and low-priced Italian restaurant.
It is located at near Ikebukuro-station's west exit.
I will go there one of these days.

Third,I watched movies "Spider-Man1,2,3","Letters from Iwo Jima" and more.
The most impressive movie is "Spider-Man3".
At the movie,I studied "It is the most difficult and important to forgive myself".
I will remember the word forever.

Spider-Man 3

2007-05-04T00:51:00.000+09:00

Yesterday,I watched the movie "Spider-Man 3".
I lile the series movie.
Because,it isn't simple action movie.

I think the movie's main theme is "With great power comes great responsibility".It is said uncle Ben in 1st movie.
Everybody wants greate power.But if I have great power,I can use the power rightly?
There are many thing watcher have to think in this movies like this.

My favorite word in the movie is "You will start the most difficult thing.Forgive yourself.".
I think it's important.
So,I will found the problem of mine and forgive myself.And I forgive the others.

Does notebook computer user need a mouse?

2007-04-11T23:45:00.000+09:00

I have a notebook computer.And a mouse was addition to it.
It is very good design and match with notebook computer's design.

But I used it few times.Because I use a touch pad.

It was difficult to use it perfectly.But,I did it.
It's advantage is user isn't exhaust with it,it doesn't need wide space,and using it is cool( ^ ^ )

...Am I minority?

Burger King's challenge

2007-04-09T21:43:00.000+09:00

Burger King is one of the most famous fast-food restaurant in the world.
And they advanced Japan in 1996.

Their feature is very big size burgers,Frenchi fries,juice.
My first impression is "It is the biggest foods I've ever seen!",that time.

But they retreat from Japan in 2001.Because,McDonald's Japan and others sold low price burgers.And people placed a special emphasis on price.Not size and quality.

On June 8th,Burger King's fast-food restaurant will open at Shinjuku this year.
This time,they will be able to survive in Japan?

My carrying things

2007-04-08T23:59:00.000+09:00

I always carry wallet,commuter pass's case,my home's key,degital camera,card case,shoehorn,collapsible umbrella,and mobile phone.

Mobile phone is very important,because it can access internet and manage my schedule.
And mobile phone can substitute degital camera,but don't.
Because I watched the Japanese movie "Heavenly Forest" last year.In the movie,camera is very effective role.And I was impressed the movie,so I always carry it.

Card case don't need at private essentially.But it is said that the person always carries card case don't miss a business chance .

And the other things have the reeason.
It comes my experience and memories.

"KIOSK" is "Kiosuku"?

2007-04-05T00:08:00.000+09:00

East Japan Railway Company runs the stand called "KIOSK" in station.
It is pronounced "Kiyosuku" in Japanese.
And I like the name.

But they changed its name to "Kiosuku" at July 1st.
Because it invited misleading by foreign people sometimes.

It is a sad occurence.But I will call it "Kiyosuku" forever!

My Chinese memory

2007-04-03T01:19:00.000+09:00

I went to China at high school trip 9 years ago.
It was not only sightseeing but also international interchange!

In advance,I wrote to Chinese student and he replied to me.
In China,we met at Beijing,and talked with in English.
We enjoyed walking,trick,and card game.

But I had to go back to Japan.
We said "See you again!" each other.

I haven't carried out the promice.
I'll be back to China and see him.

Plagiarism?

2007-03-29T23:49:00.000+09:00

I am interested in the news "Noriyuki Makihara crib from Ginga Tetsudo 999".
It's a very sad news.The song "Yakusoku no Basyo" is my favorite song,and very good melody.

Main issue is whether Noriyuki Makihara knew the phrase "Time never betray dreams,so dreams shoud not betray time" or not.If judges acknowledge Makihara didn't know the phrase,Mr.Matsumoto will be sued for slander.

But I think its dispute is very waste.They should use their ability to creative activity.
I hope this suit will reach an accomodation.

Today's suprise

2007-03-27T00:15:00.000+09:00

Suddenly,my friend called me with excited tone Today.
He got Tokyo Disney Sea's pair invitation.

Yesterday,we played bowls in Ikebukuro Rosabowl.
And we applied drawing ticket.
It's first prize is Tokyo Disney Sea's pair invitation!

We think there was no harm in trying,but he gets ticket.

I hope him to enjoy Tokyo Disney Sea,and buy us souvenir( ^ ^ )

"Mutekiya" is very good Chinese noodle shop!

2007-03-26T00:39:00.000+09:00

I went to Ikebukuro to play bowls yesterday.
After game,one of us said "I want to go Mutekiya for a long time.If you hate to waite in line,let's go to Mutekiya!"

Mutekiya is a famous Chinese noodle shop.And always filled with people who like Mutekiya's Chinese noodle!

Of course we waited for a long time.But after eating "Honmarumen",strain is lost.It is very delicious and moderate spice.

I'm pleased with Mutekiya.And I'll go there again,soon.

The Tokyo gubernatorial election in April,2007

2007-03-21T00:11:00.000+09:00

Next month,We'll have the Tokyo gubernatorial election.
Candidates for govenaor are various.

Mr.Ishihara is incumbent.He is famous and has achivement.But,it is said that he embezzled Tokyo budget personally.
Mr.Asano is former govenaor of Miyagi prefecture.

Main issue is to attempt to bring the 2016 Olympic Games to Tokyo.

It is first election since I became the citizen of Tokyo .
I think well before I will use franchise.

Horiemon will be back?

2007-03-17T02:26:00.000+09:00

Yesterday,Livedoor's former president Mr.Takafumi Horie was sentenced two years and six months in prison.

He was treated as a hero of the time,two years ago.But,now he is offender.Government used him as the advertising media and made a fuss of him.It depends on time.

But he showed that dream would be realizable.
He make it up to people and will be comback,I believe.

I don't definitely like Horiemon,but I will cheer Mr.Takafumi Horie.
