Movie Review#OCEANS


I watched OCEANS at the movie theater. It is the documentary movie about the sea. The navigator is Rie Miyazawa. She is the famous actress in Japan.

“What is sea?” A boy asked so to an old man. He could not answer. The story was started by this question. Can you answer? There are many fishes and marine animals in this movie. These are our friends because we live in the earth with each other.
Human killed many marine animals. We should stop the excessive hunting.

We can learn about life of the earth I think.
I recommend you this movie! I think you should watch the movie at the theater. I guess you can feel like you are in the sea.

Movie Review#The Notebook




This movie was filmed America, 2004. This is love story. This is a novel by Nicholas Charles Sparks originally. I like this movie when I watched it. I will write about this story and my review.

The old man read a diary to the old woman. It was real love story of writer. She was in sick, and she grew senile. He loved her very much, but it was secret.
In a festival in Seabrook Island, South Carolina, Noah Calhoun met a very beautiful girl. Her name was Allie Hamilton. She was born rich. Noah said love to Allie, but she refused his love firstly but she was fell in love with Noah unnoticed. This love was a first love of Allie. Noah and Allie loved each other very much, and they were together whenever. One day, they did not back to home too late. Allie’s parents were worried so much; they looked for her with a search party. Her parents banned Allie to meet with Noah. And Allie had to go to a faraway university. Allie cried because she loved Noah. It was same Noah. But she leave the town, they could not meet for long time.
Noah entered an army to fight in World War Ⅱ. Allie was a volunteer nurse after her graduation. Noah lost his best friends in the war, and he returned to home. Lon Hammond the soldier was cured by Allie in a hospital. He loved her, and he want to marry with her. His home is rich and he was a lawyer. Allie’s parents agreed with their marriage, but Allie was not happy because there was Noah in her mind. Noah made a home for living with Allie. He believed he could meet and love with Allie again. They were met again, but she came to Noah to say a report of her marriage. But they loved each other again like some years ago. Allie was troubled with 2 men so much. But she chose Noah. They married finally.
That is all of writing on the notebook. So, the old woman was Allie, and old man was Noah. But Allie could not remember Noah. They were in a hospital, they died with each. The just before their death, Allie remembered Noah.

I t is very sad and sweet story I think. I think Japanese can watch easily this movie because I could feel sympathy on the Allie’s or Noah’s mind.
I want to visit to Noah’s new home. It was very cute house, and the home had his heart to love to Allie.

Valentine’s Day



In Japan, Valentine’s Day is a day which girls gives chocolates and says love to boys. It is a custom only Japan. I think I will write about Valentine’s Day.


The origin of Valentine’s Day was Juno’s birthday in Rome. Juno is the queen of gods and goddess and she is a goddess of marriage and home on Roman myth. The next day was the festival of harvest. In the festival, men draw lots. The lot was written names of women. They should be with each other during the festival. The couples fell in love almost. The emperor Marcus Aurelius Claudius Ⅱ banned marriages of soldiers because if they leave their lovers in the country, their fighting spirits were failing down. Valentinus the priest allowed their marriage secretly. The priest was executed by the emperor at Feb. 14. It is reason that the Valentine’s Day is called “Lover’s Day”

In America, people give flower, cake, or card to own sweet hearts. It has no relation with sex. There is not White Day like Japan. Chocolates are bought for presents at Feb. 14. This custom came in Japan.

In time of before World War Ⅱ, Valentine’s Day was came in Japan by foreign people. Confectionery companies speeded the custom for sales result. Ordinary, women give some chocolate or present to men in Japanese Valentine’s Day. It is unique what women say love to men with a chocolate in Japan. In other countries, the sender is men almost.

My campus life 2006-2010

I attended to KGU for 4 years. I will try to remember these 4 years for I will be able to know things what I could study in my university.

First, I will write things when I was a freshman. I felt a fresh atmosphere when I was at front of the prefectural theater. I was surprised there were many boys because I attended to a girl’s high school. I was wearing suit first time. The entering ceremony was very large scale I thought. I arrived to there a little late; I did not watch the performance of orchestra. I entered this orchestra club but I did not know about the club when this time. There were really many people in the prefectural theater! After the ceremony, I went to class room at building 4 to listen to the orienteering. The professor said “please make a note…” but I have not a pen. I asked to a girl which sitting next to me “Would you lend me your pen?” She said honestly, “Yes, here you are” She is my friend whom I made it first time in KGU. The freshmen should to show orienteering of circle activity. The orienteering was opened at front of the buildings at KGU. I went to go there followed the rule because we could not back home without entering some club. We could get a yellow ribbon when we decided to enter some club. I entered the association of Lacrosse. Lacrosse is a one of the ball games, using a stick fitting up a net on the tip and little gummy ball. This is not diffusion in Japan; I want to do this sport at least once. I went to cherry-blossom viewing with members of Lacrosse team that night. It was not enjoyable for me because I felt the party was very terrible. And I knew the club did not play lacrosse after I entered this club! I thought it is not having meant to belong to Association of Lacrosse. The activities were playing some sports or the drinking party. I did not want to do mean fewer things. There are many playing circles in KGU. I did not want to do activity only making friends, I wanted some skill at the circle activity, and sure I want friends on the activities. I retired the association of lacrosse soon I knew the import of activities. I thought I wanted to play some music. I had experiences playing the clarinet and piano when I was a junior high school. I thought I went to make a study some music clubs. I want to play the flute. This was my hope since I was a student of junior high. I could not play the flute because I could not win the scramble. The flute was very popular for girls. I visited to practice place of the orchestra club because my 2 friends belonging the club. There were 3 people in the part of flute. The head of club played the flute. She said, “We need you to our club, but we have not a vacancy in flute part. Please think again about you will play the instrument?” There were 2 clubs what I might play the flute. These are the orchestra club and Latin mood music association. I had not my flute, and I should buy it for I belong to Latin mood music association. The head of orchestra club said “We need strings instruments players really! Do you dislike these?” I said “…I want to play woodwinds. Can I play the oboe?” The oboe part had not member at the time. If I was in the oboe part, I could not learn the skills. I was sorry but there was a man playing the contrabass in the room. The contrabass part had not freshman. The man was very kind and he said charm of the contrabass. I thought he love the instrument, I want to be able to love own instrument like him. I decided I started to play the contrabass. This is story of my encounter with the contrabass. I had 13 friends whose same yeas old with me at orchestra activities. I like the contrabass sure, and now, I think my choice was not wrong. Well, I had many lectures of university. I had 4 periods in a day on average. It was ordinary for every freshman. I majored in Spanish for the second language. I could not understand the difference with English. For example, there are sentences without subject words. I try to get up in the lecture, but I slept in the lecture of Physics or Biology often. I was bad at the science. It is not changed now. I could enjoy the campus life. Maybe I could spend the time meaningful the best in 4 years. I had many friends; and my first love in this year. I could enjoy to study, work, play the contrabass, and love.

Next, I will write about what I was a sophomore grade. The starting of this year was our performance at the entering ceremony. There were many freshmen at the prefectural theater. I saw the sight feeling a longing for. I had my first junior of orchestra club. I could have a junior in the contrabass part. I was glad to meet with him. He is the head of our club now. I was a librarian at our orchestra in this year. I managed our scores and instruments. I was happy to take part in management of the orchestra although I was a sophomore student. I did the club activities very well, and I neglected the lectures. Well, I had to play the contrabass on the top of contrabass part although I was a sophomore because my senior retired our club. It was very suddenly, I could not play the contrabass well yet, I was surprised at the fact. I try to play my best. I had to play all music of the regular concert in this year of necessity. I had mental anguish of sense of responsibility because I had to connect to the support players. It was very important work, and the seniors should do this works. I was very uneasiness whether I did a failure for them but they said “Do not worry! We will support you on the skills of playing surely!” I was helped from mental anguish by them. I could not play good performances on the regular concert stage I think, but I could get very high experiences of music in this year. I could have an enjoyable life in this year. I was pleasant my university life really, but I lost love with my first boyfriend in this year. I was very sad but I could be happy with my other friends. I thanked my friends because whenever they are my supporters. I could get my truth friends in this year.

Next, I will write about when I was a junior student. This year is very bad because our club could not do any activities during 1 year. I was despaired because I could be a liaison inspector of our club in this year. My works were having connections with outside orchestra groups smooth. So, I thanked to support players very much before the year, I wanted to contribute to our club on the aspect. We committed an offence. It was the reality that we should clean activities during this year. It was ordered by the student council group, I asked to be able to practice again and again. They allowed us to practice individual, well, one of us borrowed a practice room and we used it. I was grad to practice the contrabass. I belonged to another orchestra team. Then, I like “Aus der neuen Welt” of Antonín Leopold Dvořák. I thought I wanted to play this music at once during my campus life. I could play this music in another team; I invited from some my orchestra club’s members. Well, I majored in a seminar of Speech English. I was interested in the famous people’s charm to move audience. I studied about Bill Bradley’s speech of “Gun Control” I was a manager in this seminar. In spring semester, I wrote a report in Japanese about rhetorical techniques of Bradley’s speech. I fall semester, I wrote my conclusion to read his speech in English. I was very hard to write only 5 pages report. I think I was greener at English writing than now. Sure, I am not good at English, but I could not write only 5 pages. And, I tried to study harder than before this year. And I went to internship to a hotel. I studied how to work in hotels, and waiting on customers. I could good skills in there. I tried to do job-hunting positively from this year. In the last of this year, I had new boyfriend.

I am a senior. My campus life will be ended by my graduation. In this year, I belonged to the student council team “Cheering Party” I assisted to opening our school festival. I got up very early during the festival was opened; we should guard to save people in our university. Well, I was very hard to job-hunting. Now, in the entire world, we are in the dull business. There are 2 reasons why we can not find jobs. First, the workers do not retire the company because if they retire the work, they can not find a new work, or it will be difficultly. Second, companies do not want to employ many freshmen because companies can not pay salaries to their employees. These are the reasons of the difficulty of finding employment I think. I can not find my job yet. I think I should try to get my job never give up.

I think my campus life was good for me. I could get many things in KGU. I want to redo again if I can it.
I love my campus life! I with my junior spend weighty from now.
