My favorite

I think I will write about my best favorite through my campus life.

Do you know the contrabass? It is a sorting of pitch extent. “Contrabass” is under “Bass” Then, it is the lowest register.
I play the contrabass in the KGU orchestra club. I will write about CONTRABASS the musical instrument today.
It is the biggest stringed instrument in the orchestra. I guess you understand the size very well if you look at this picture which the contrabass with the cello. It has many names. There are “double bass”, “bass”, “wood bass”, and “upright bass” and so on. It has 4 or 5 strings, these each string’s open notes are G, D, A, E, and C when you see the contrabass from front of it. We play the musical scales how to push these strings by player’s left hand’s fingers.
I play the contrabass which has 4 strings and the size is about 180 cm. It is 3/4 of full size. This is most popular type in Japan.
When we play the contrabass we need a bow. There are the 2 kinds of bows, French-bow and German-bow. I use German-bow, because it is easy to exert pressure to strings for me. There are many users of German-bow among the contrabass players. I know a French-bow user in Kumamoto only one. There is the difference of 2 bows. It is the shape of grip. The German-bow is got ready like tuck up in right hand. In the other, French-bow is got ready like pick grip up with player’s right fingers.

Please look at this picture. The contrabass is got ready like this. I think it is like the figure holding 2 people when I looked at this first. It is very quiet and simple sound. If I compare with the violin’s brilliant sound, I think the violin is the king; the contrabass is the big castle. Then, I think the orchestra is not made up without the contrabass.

I like the contrabass but I did not like it first. I played the clarinet when I was a junior high school student. But, I was not like the clarinet; I want to play the flute very much really. It is same when I entered KGU orchestra club too. I wanted to play the flute but there were many people in the flute part at the time. I thought I compromised the oboe or the faggot. I was like wood-wind’s sound. Then, I was recommended the contrabass. The contrabass part was not having many players. The senior student needed me.
Now, I thank the senior student very much! I could meet the contrabass; I could enjoy playing the music. I like contrabass the best among the instruments of an orchestra.

Why don’t you think deeply about your favorite? I guess you can see your new surface.

Book Review# 13 [Pinocchio]

It is very famous story in the world. Pinocchio is a movable puppet without control! He made from a piece of wood whose it is able to talk.This story is Pinocchio the puppet's adventure story.

It is very warm story I think. At last, Pinocchio could be a real boy. It is like "AI" the movie. "AI" is the story of the pet robot which has a mechanical brain.

I thought his dad swallowed by whale but this book was written it is shark.
I wonder is there the shark possible swallow the man. If there is that big shark, I am frightened.

Book Review#12 [Stories of Dolls]

This book is like "The stories of Snowmen" Many cute dolls can move when people don't see them.

The book has 3 stories about active dolls. They are all girls.

I think there is a hope from adults for children. It is what we must handle anything carefully because its have own spirits. If children think so, they will handle anything carefully.

I think this book is good for reading for little children.

Book Review#11 [The speech of John Fitzgerald Kennedy]

This is the book about John Fitzgerald Kennedy the 35th president of America's speech. I major a seminar of "Speech English" last year. I studied about Bill Bradley's speech and I wrote a English essay about it. It has the original English text and the text translated to Japanese.

The speech is very difficult because it needs the audience's concentration and approval. I think a good leader must be a good speaker.

It is difficult to me, I stopped reading half and I will try to read deeply from now I think.

Essay6# My favorite movies

I will write about 2 movies I like.

The one of my favorite movie is “The Notebook” It is American movie, 2004. I watch the movie with my friends at KGU library at 2 years ago.

The story is a romance. Noah and Allie are childhood friends. Noah is a local country boy, he is poor. Allie was born rich, she grow up be loved by her parents. They are first lovers each other. Then, they loved with each other, there were many obstacles by Allie’s parents, a world warⅡ, and Allie’s other betrothed. In the period which they separated, Noah lost his best friend at a battlefield and Allie was a nurse for damaged solders.

And there are other situations on the love of Noah and Allie. But, after long time, Allie doesn’t remember about Noah and the love with him. She has Dementia. Noah is sad about her forgetting about him day by day, he try to remain on her memory to read Allie’s diary. Allie remembered about him when they died.
The end was happy, but it was very heartrending sorrow. The story is very beautiful love I think. I like this movie.

The other movie I like is “Detroit Metal City” It is a Japanese comedy movie. I went the theater with my friend last summer. The main character is Johannes Krauser II the singer of metal music. He is very crazy, vulgar and violence at the front of audiences. But he is a boy who plain, tender-hearted and coward really. His really name is Souichi Negishi. He loves Yuri Aikawa the journalist. She was the student of university which he attended. Yuri hates Johannes Krauser II, but like Souichi as only friends. The story is Souichi’s melancholy recording of growth as the metal music singer.

This is very funny movie! But there are dirty representations in the movie a little. I recommend you when you want to laugh or get depressed. I guess you will be able to get little vigor. Especially, I like the sight what Souichi and his mother’s conversations. It is the scene I was impressed. It is not only comedy movie.

Book Review 1-10 [Sleeping Beauty]

This is one of the stories I like in the world. I performed a play on the stage at the kindergarten when I was 4 years old. I was role of a witch.

You know, Sleeping Beauty was waked up by the prince’s kiss. But, do you know why she must sleep at her 16th birthday? There is course at her parents. They did not invite only a witch at their daughter’s birth cerebration. She was angry so much. To tell the truth, she used the magic of death to the baby. “On your 16th birthday, you will prick your finger on a spinning wheel and, DIE!!!” But a witch used a magic too. “You won’t die. You and everyone else in the castle will fall into a deep sleep, but only a kiss from your true love will break the spell”

I guess you know the end of story.

This is romantic story I think.

Book Review 1-09 [The stories of dogs]

This book has 3 stories. I choose the book because I like dogs. But, this book is tedium. These stories look like each other.
The dogs render distinguished service. All stories were so.

I don’t recommend you this book. You think you have read stories like the book someday, I think.
