No music, no life Vol.10

I love music very much, so I cannot live without music. I wanna many people to know so many awesome music because many people probably don't know about this music. Thus, I will show you a lot of bands or musicians whom I thought are awesome, entitling "no music, no life".

This time, I will introduce "zilch" to you. "zilch" is a Japanese and American band or unit. The band was put together by hide in 1995 (also please see No music, no life Vol. 1). The members are hide(vocal, guitar), Ray McVeigh (guitar, programming), and Paul Raven (bass), but the members are flexible, that is, the member without the three member varies according to the project. The characteristics of the sound is "Punk", "Heavy Rock", "Grunge", "Alternative Rock", "Industrial Rock", and "Electronica", and so on. Therefore, the band started from now, but then, hide passed away. Unfortunately, they released only one album, "3.2.1.".

More information about them is here, and another one is here.

This is one of my favorite song, "ELECTRIC CUCUMBER"!

Test is coming soon.

Next week, tests will start. I have to take 11 tests from January 22 to 31 and to write some reports. It will be hard to me especially the tests of teaching, so I have to study harder on Thursday. The day, I will take 2 tests of teaching.

Book Review 2-14

Today, I read this book, "JUMANJI", which has already been famous in the world as the movie in 1995.

In 1869, two boys buried big box made by wood in the ground in forest. In 1969, Alan who was a sheepish boy found the big box. The big box is a game named "JUMANJI", so he played the game with Sarah who is his girl friend but the result of the game really happened, so he was drawn into the game board.

26 years later, Judy and Peter found the game box in the attic and played it. Immediately, mosquitoes, monkeys, and lions appeared. Peter tossed dice and then Alan returned to real world. He became 38 years old. He decided to stop this nightmare to end this game with the sister. The three players continued the game and finally Alan finished first. Then, animals, jungles, and hanter returned to the game board. The next thing he knew was that young Alan was in 1969. He threw the game box into a river and then he got married with Sarah. In 1995, they saw Judy and Peter again at the Christmas Party.

I enjoyed reading this book. I want to watch the movie because I hane not watched it.

New Year's Party

Yesterday, I went to a New Year's Party because one of my friends proposed that we held a New Year's Party. Of course, I went to the party in the fun. In the party we drunk, sang songs, and talked about my friend's news. As the result, the party became like class reunion because the most participants were my classmate in my high school.
I enjoyed the party very much!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! It is the beginning of a new year!
In this year, I wanna get more English skill, especially conversation ability, and become playing the guitar well.
By the way, I went to shrines to pray, I mean, New Year's visits to shrines. I also bought lucky charms and draw sacred lots to tell my fortunes of this year. The fortune was "Tyu-kichi".
