Vacation Plans

My vacation plan is this! First, I want to start part-time job after my tests will be finished. To tell the truth, I wanted to start part-time job when I became sophomore student. However, I had a lot of assignments in this grade, so I thought I will not be able to be compatible both studying and part-time job. That's why I'm looking forward to starting part-time job in summer! Also, I want to go out with my friends a lot. My university friend will go abroad for studying in summer vacation, so I will not be able to see her for a long time. I want to make memory with my university friends for her.

" 'Please will you share your food with me?" said the little old man"

The story of "The Golden Goose" has memory for me. I performed at a stage of municipal hall when I was a kindergartener. I remember it a little.

Fantastic Day !!

On June 29, I went to a live at Kumamoto with my university friends. It is flumpool’s live. Flumpool is a Japanese popular band. I like the band since junior high school. This live is one of the tour. This tour is their 5th anniversary tour. Although I went to the band’s live at Fukuoka in April, I went it with my high school friends then. Both these two lives are same tour.



We were looking forward to the live before months. We often talked about the live and watched live DVD once together! The day had come!!




I met many friends at the hall. They are university friends and high school friends. They seemed excited!


I and my friends's seats were eight raw, so we talked "the seats might be far a bit." However, we were very surprised when we checked the seats's distance. The seats were near the center of the stage, so we could see the stage very well! We were all very glad and more excited about it.


The moment the curtain rose, great cheers "kyaaaaa!!!" arose. The hall had been filled with surprisingly enthusiasm since the live started. That's why vocalist of flumpool, Ryuta Yamaura, said "Kumamoto is fantastic! Today's enthusiasm of Kumamoto is the best, I think!!" during the live. Also, each members' tension was so high!, so we were glad to see it.

I was so excited during the live, so I jumped and shaked my arms with their songs. Thanks to that, my legs become muscular pain the next day. I enjoyed the live very very very much!! In addition, I came to like flumpool more than before!

After ending the live, we were stupefied. After that, we talked with excitement. The day become unforgettable day!! I would like to go flumpool's live with the members again!!!

Udooooon

Today, I went to a noodle shop with my family.  It is in my hometown, so we often go there. It's name is Umenoya. It is my favorite noodle shop.

My favorite menu is a set meal which is a bowl of rice topped with tempura and udon. Its udon is mini size, so I recommend women to eat it. The restaurant's udon's soup is, if anything, strong. That's why I like the restaurant' udon very much!  A bowl of rice topped with tempura is taste good too.

Also, there are tatami too, so you can relax. If you go to my hometown Ozu, let's go there!

At the previous day, the member's exeutive committee brought in a lot of equipment parts to hall. Then, because a rehearsal started, we worked as own role. Because my group's job was stagehand, we were very busy all the day. However, it is good experience to me because I had such experience a little before.

At the day of playing, we were very busy too but I could learn a lot of things. First, I could listen and see all 7 music clubs. 7 clubs are light music and Latin mood music club, swing band club, chorus club, mandolin club, guitar cub, modern folk club and rock club. These are different type of music, so I could listen to music which I often don't listen. In additon, I could see players from a different angles usual, so I could see and notice various things. Furthermore, I could get to know each other through executive committe.

Although I was tired and very busy, I could experience a lot through this executice committee! I enjoyed a lot!

" 'Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of us all?'
said the new Queen"

The story is famous all over the world. I know the story needless to say. But, the book's story was different from the story which I know. Snow White died once but she woke up by kissing from the prince. I think the story is known. However, the book's story was this. Snow White bit a poisoned apple and died once. After that, the prince appeared in front of Snow White and he fell in love with her at first sight. Although he was going to take her to his palace, seven dwarfs argued with the prince. But in the end, they agreed. Then, the prince and his servants tried carrying the coffin. When they lifted it, the apple flew from Snow White's mouth. After that, she opened her eyes. It was so funny! It isn't romantic. I like the story I know better than the book's story.
