RING Ring ring ...

I like calling. But only who know each other well, such as friends. When I call my friends, I often ended up a long call. Even if we are far apart, I can hear her or his voice and feel her or his feeling directly by calling. In spite of LINE, I can see only letters and stamps. I can't imagine their real feeling. But the best way is to meet and talk to her or his face.

Unique Noodle shop

The other day, I went to a noodle shop with my band members after finishing the band practice. The noodle shop is on my way from the studio. It is at street of Hakuzan. Its name is Ippaku.

We all visited the shop for the first time. When enter the shop, we were surprised because the shop was so fashionable! I can't think it is a noodle shop. Also, the menu is unique a little. There are common noodle too, such as laver noodle. But, some unique noodles attracted attention. For example, "milk noodle" and "tomato and cheese noodle". Especially, milk noodle is limited in winter. So, we all ordered milk noodles.
 

The taste looks like carbonara pasta. It was a new sensation to me. We promise to visit there together again. And I want to try to eat the other noodle next time.

BR 2-06: The Musician of Bremen

" 'Let's run away! We can go to Bremen and join the town band.' said the four friends"



I didn't know about the story well. I knew only the characters(animals), an ass, a dog, a cat and a chicken.  I thought the animals become musicians before I read this book. However, they never become musicians at last. I was surprised they decided to join the town band to stop their owner's mean action. Each of them were cruelly treated by different mean actions. So their backgrounds looked like. Because of that, they may be able to be in unison.

BR 2-05: The Gingerbread Man

" 'Run, run, as fast as you can You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!'said the gingerbread man "
 


The illustration is cute. So, as I began to read, I thought it may heartwarming story. But it is not. This story seems look like the RUNAWAY PANCAKE. These are eaten by animals nothing to do with the two sweets at last. I wish they didn't run away. But if foods are alive such as this story,  all the foods may run away because they don't want to be eaten.

BR 2-04: The Frog Prince

" 'If you promise not to throw me out of the window again... Princess Poppy, will you marry me?' said the Prince"

 
 
 
The story's pattern that the princess wake up by the prince's kissing is often seen. Such as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. However, it was an opposite pattern in this story. The prince wake up by the princess's kissing. In addition, the prince was a frog when the princess met him for the first time. Although the frog (the prince) was not good image at that time, at last, they got married. It was interesting!

Piano no Heya

My favorite place is drawing room. I call the room "piano no heya(piano's room)" from when I was young. There are piano, music player, sofa and PC in the room. I often go there to listen to music and relaxing! I think that it is the most comfortable place of my house, so I often spend time at the room.

BR 2-03: CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS


He is a very famous person on the world histry. In addition, I think the story of "Columbus's egg" is known for everybody all over the world. The story means it is important to be a first person who start something.

It is a bit funny for me that he has been thinking America is India forever. At the age when various things have not developed, he didn't fear death and keep to adventure. If I were him, I couldn't keep to adventure. He is a brave man!

Review3: Romeo + Juliet

 
Today, I watched “Romeo + Juliet”. This story is based on Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare and it is modern version. I have heard the story about Romeo and Juliet, but I have never read the original written by Shakespeare. Also, Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio acted as Romeo. In this movie, DiCaprio was very young and handsome, so I was fascinated by him. The contents are as follows.

In Verona Beach, there are two mafias that have extensive authority. Those are the Capulets and the Montagues. They are rivals and often fight. Each of those families have one child. There is a daughter in the Capulets. Her name is Juliet. There is a son in the Montagues. His name is Romeo. Both children have never met each other before a party.

At this time, Romeo had a crush on Rosaline. On the other hand, Juliet was suffering from unwanted marriage proposals. One day, the Capulets held a party and Romeo joined the party with his friends. At there, he fell in love with Juliet at first sight. By his enterprise, they came to be in love. However, they didn’t know they were from rival families. It was a big obstruction for them. But, because they both loved deeply, they married at the church. After that, because of their loving, her cousin killed his best friend. He was very angry about that and killed her cousin. By this crime, Romeo was banished from their country. Romeo and Juliet felt so sad. Then, Romeo took consul with Catholic priest and decided to go another country. After that, Juliet’s father asked Juliet to marry another person strongly. But, her answer was “no”. Her parents tried to abandon her if she refuses to obey her parents, so she asked for help tfromo Catholic priest. Catholic priest gave her a sleeping pill and asked her to play dead. Unfortunately, her false news (she was dead) was told to Romeo. Romeo became very sad and decided to die next to Juliet. He went to church and said good-bye to Juliet. After that, he drunk a poison. At that time, Juliet woke up and saw him. After she saw he was dead, she shot herself and was dead next to him. A small trouble of families caused this tragedy. This story is a one of the biggest tragedy.

In this story, too many things are going wrong. But, these may their (Romeo and Juliet) destiny, I thought.
