Book Review 1-08


Today, the book which I chose is "RETURN TI EARTH". The story is as follow.

Some people are have a telepathy, just a little. They know what another person, perhaps a brother or a sister, is thinking. If you know someone really well, you sometimes know what they will say before they say it, but are they sure it's all right? To know 'everything' that other people are thinking and feeling, and to know their thoughts that are secrets in their minds in every minute, every hour, and day after day. To know everything is also that you can not refuse.
One day, Harl traveled through the time and space to a distant planet. He returned to Earth after many long years away. Ellen who was Harl's girlfriend and a scientist wasn't interested in space travel, because she wanted to change life on Earth to do something very new, very exciting, and very different and she believed her experience will success. Thus, Harl said goodbye to Ellen and went traveling space.
When Harl went back to Earth, environment on Earth changed drastically, so the world was a very different place. In the world, some of people grew to be adults, but other people were all right when they were young children. However, they began to die like flies, one after the other when they were about ten or eleven years old, because human have got bad minds, so they looked at themselves deep down inside. It was not comfortable to think about it. They hid from their true selves and when they spoke, they didn't always say what they thought or felt, so they also hid from other people too.

That is why I think 'telepathy' is so terrible and I don't want to have the ability. How would you feel this story? Do you want 'telepathy'? Is the 'telepathy' really great? As for me, I answered 'NO'. How about you?

Book Review 1-07


I read this book, "JAWS". This story is very famous as a very exciting film which Steven Spielberg made and the film made him world-famous. Most of people went to see the film and cried out in the cinema because they were so afraid.


Amity is a quiet town near New York. One night a young woman went for a swim in the sea, but she didn't come back. In the next morning, the police found her dead on the beach. Brody who is a good police man thought there was a shark near Amity, so he tried to close the beaches, but business people in the beach didn't listen to him because the only way to live is to sell something to eat or to drink and so on. However, another victim was found, so Brody, Hooper, and Quint went to kill great white shark.
Eventually, only Brody was able to survive and killed the shark.
I was not feel fear when I finished reading this book because I think the movie is more interesting and more powerful than the book, of course.
Here is a wiki page.

Essay5 The Worst Day In My Life

I can remember clearly the day when I had a lot of misfortunes. I think it is the worst day in my life.

The morning on the day was rainy so I went to my university with my umbrella. It was so far so good but I found that I forgot to take my commuter pass with just when I got it, so I went back my home to take it. Then, I rushed back to the Yatsushiro station and managed to catch a next train. In the train I got sleepy so I didn't know when I arrived at Kumamoto station. Because I got off hastily the train to change trains there, I left my umbrella in the train but then I didn't find it. I found it when I left Suizenji station. It is too late then. The train had gone. Therefore, I hurried through the rain to my university and I got wet in the rain. As a result, I was soaking wet all the day because it was rainy when I also went back home.

That is why that it started forgetting my commuter pass all, so I have always taken care not to forget something since that day. I think the day was my worst day.

Watching movie!

The last Sunday, I went to watching the movie, "The Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" because I like this series and the actors, Johnny Depp, Orland Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, and Keith Richards.
I was interested in the story when I watched the first story, so I watched the second movie, too.
Through the series, I think it is the amusing stories and characters, especially "Captain Jack Sparrow".
Wiki page of this movie is here.


This is a movie's trailer. If you have not watched this movie, please check it out!

Book Review 1-06


Today, I read this book, "SHERLOCK HOLMES short stories" because I'm interested in the stories of Sherlock Holmes. There are three short stories in this book, for example, THE SPECKLED BAND, A SCANDALIN BOHEMIA, and THE FIVE ORANGE PIPS. In this occasion, I will write about THE SPECKLED BAND.

One morning, a young woman, Helen Stoner, came to see Holmes and she asked him to solve a case which is that her younger sister died 2 years ago. When her sister died, she was only thirty and her hair was already grey. Now Helen's hair is just like her hair, so she thought that she was also died because her hair turned grey. they had a stepfather and his room is next to her sister's room. she said her sister heard strange noises such as a whistle and a minute later the sound of falling metal from his room when her sister died.
Mr. Holmes decided to help her, so he went to her house and investigated the case staying overnight there. There were a lot of wild animals and the gypsies. He searched her sister's room and he found clues to solve the case. these were the bell-rope and the air-vent.
He said that the criminal was a snake. The snake came through the air-vent and down the bell-rope, and on to the bed, so the snake bit and killed her.
However, the real criminal was their stepfather because he masterminded the snake, so the sound of a whistle and falling metal to order the snake.

I was surprised that their stepfather was the criminal, so I enjoyed reading this book.

My favorite band on TV!

Yesterday, I watched the TV show, "ROCKET COMPLEX" which is an access program in Kumamoto because my favorite band got on the TV show. The band is "the pillows".
They released a new CD, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!", so they appeared on the TV show to promote the CD. Of course, I bought it.
They talked about their new CD, for example, "What did they express in their CD?", "What made you decided to write music?" In addition, their promotional video was broadcast in the TV show.

This is the promotional Video!

MEGA TERIYAKI!!


I had a "MEGA TERIYAKI" for lunch on Saturday.
I think probably this hamburger is about twice as big as a hamburger, so I have a full stomach and tastes better than "MEGA MAC" which is a first "MEGA~" series.

Book Review 1-05


I read "GHOST IN THE GUITAR". When I found this book and looked at this book cover, I thought it was cool and interesting. So, I read this book.

Katherine, main character of this story, and Tom, her boyfriend, spent happy days in their band, Steel City. Member of the band were Katy (Tom called her "Katy"), Tom, Aruna and Danny. Katy played the Keyboard and Tom played the guitar. Aruna was their bassist and Danny was their drummer.
They practiced their instrumental to win "The Battle of The Band". It was a big competition for bands because the winners of the competition were able to make a CD at a local record company. They hope their own CDs so they want to win the competition.
One day, Tom's guitar was broken through Katy's carelessness so they went to buy the new guitar but they had only a little money and couldn't buy most of the guitar.
A few days later, the trouble began. Suddenly Tom can play the guitar very well, but he seemed to be a different person like changing another person. He was always very kind to everyone but then he was always angry. Katy wondered how he changed. She investigated his new guitar so she knew the secret of the guitar.
The truth is ghost’s work. The ghost is a great guitarist who died 20 years ago. He and members of his band couldn't win the competition so he was angry. After that, he died in a car crash. The guitar Tom bought was his one so the ghost inhabited the guitar.
As a result, Tom went back to be himself because Katy broke the guitar. However, the ghost wasn't such a bad person because he just wanted to win the competition.

Through this story, I sympathize with Tom or the ghost because they just wanted to play the guitar well. I also like playing the guitar and think so. I think it wouldn't hurt to be possessed by the ghost if I play the guitar well.

Essay4 My Memorable Day

I have a lot of memorable days so I will talk about one of my memorable days. I think it is a trip to Yokosuka with my family.

When I was 18 years old and a cram school student in the summer vacation, I went to Yokosuka because I wanted to go “hide museum” in Yokosuka. I’m a big fan of hide. I had never been there, but the museum was going to close in September of that year so I once wanted to go there anyway. Of course I was a cram school student so I had to study more and more to pass university entrance exam, but I thought I lived to repent if I didn't go there.
When I went there actually, I was deeply moved by a lot of displays about hide such as his guitars, his photo, his stage costumes and his hand written song lyrics and so on. After that, I went shopping in “LEMONed SHOP”, which was produced by hide. There are many goods of limited edition so I bought the goods.

That is why my memorable day is this trip. It was quite special trip for me so I know I’ll miss him forever.
