His Wall, My Wall
He loves someone, hates someone, entreats someone and despairs someone. Someone who meet him are human. All of them are human. He loves human and fears human. But he is also human. So, he is distressed. I think that he might as well hate all of human. But it is not so easy, so it bothers him.
In this CD, he pines for a girl, feels the wall between everyone who around him and him and see himself as he is. I feel his cry and sob in everywhere in the songs he wrote. I can understand his fear very well. So, my heart is ready to break to listen to his songs, but also I feel so deep love with him.

Japanese Politics Changed
Yesterday, I went to vote for the first time. It is said that the young aren't interested in political things, but I don't think so. This time, so many people including young people have been paying attention to politics. So the voter turnout was pretty good.
The first thing I'm interested in is about an annuity. The LDP government gave rise to be a hole in the situation of an annuity. I think it is monstrous. Thanks to the very hard work of the old that I am today. But some of old people can't receive an annuity. Such problem is unacceptable. So, I really hope that this problem solve as soon as possible.

Human
I was delivered by their songs in my junior and senior high school days. I spent a difficult time, so I really thank to them. Their name is Japaharinet. They have various expressions. Sometimes they sing cheerfully, sometimes they spill out their insanity, sometimes they grieve for human, and sometimes they fall in love like their first love. I was charmed with their human-likeness. I cried and laughed with them. So, I'm here now.
Unfortunately, Japaharinet spilt up before. But I'm still a big fan of them.

Can You Hear Me?
I bought a CD "Stairway Generation". This is the CD of Base Ball Bear. I have many CDs of them, but this one became my particular one. I listened this song for the first time, I felt something in the lyrics. All the lyrics was written by the vocalist, Yusuke Koide. He showed his feelings and bittersweet memories of love in his teens in the lyrics. But in this new song, there is his doubt, loneliness, fear and thirst.
The reason is his recent state. I read a music magazine and I knew that. He had two terrible sad things and he felt various wall. For example against other people, music and himself. His mind wavered horribly. But he decided to show his real feelings in the lyrics. And, this song was finished. I was also troubled almost same things, so I was really impressed by this song.

Movie
I want to watch one movie. It's "MW". MW is a Japanese movie, and the author of the original work is Osamu Teduka who is the most famous caricaturist. He produced so many popular cartoons, such as "Astro Boy", "Buddha", "Black Jack". He took the readers with him, and he has still many fans. But there is the only production considered taboo in his cartoons. You know, MW is that. Among the many of his productions, MW forms a distinctive feature. It have been said that filming MW as a live-action movie with real actors is impossible, but now made a live action movie to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Osamu Teduka's birth.
The story began from 16 years ago. In one island, Okinomafune-jima, all the islanders were slaughtered except for two boys. But the holocaust was covered up by a government. Today, 16-odd years, one of the survivor, Michio Yuki became a handsome man and a foreign capital bank clerk elite. But his real aspect is a vicious criminal. Michio began to be avenged upon a government and the world.
Other survivor, Iwao Garai became ordained a priest. Iwao tries to release from the past through prayers. And Michio repents over again after he commit a crime with Iwao. Iwao wanted to deliver him from agony. They are firmly bound together by rigid ties, and struggling against their past.
In the movie, Hiroshi Tamaki plays the part of Michio. Hiroshi Tamaki is a so popular hand-some actor. He acted many TV dramas and TV commercials, such as "Nodame cantabile", "Love Shuffle". And Iwao is played by Takayuki Yamada. He is also popular actor. He has inimitable presence, and he is said that he is a talented actor. He acted various productions. For example, "CROWS ZERO", "CROWS ZERO Ⅱ", "Densya Otoko". One of the reason why I want to watch this movie is I'm fan of Takayuki Yamada. I really want to watch it!

What Is Beauty?
They are 椿屋四重奏 (tsubakiya-sijusou). The members are starting from the left, Ryota Kodera (drams), Takashige Nagata (bass), Yuji Nakada (vocal and guitar) and Takuro Yasutaka (guitar).
This band is often expressed with one kanji. It's "艶". It means glossy and luscious. I think the reason is a vocalist, Yuji Nakada's voice. He sings captivating love with his seductive voice. So, when I listen to their songs, I'm taking over their distinctive atmosphere.
October 11, I will go and enjoy their live concert. It is my first their live concert, so I'm looking forward to it very much.

BOOK REVIEWS #10 (The story of Chocolate)
This story tells the history of chocolate. So many people participated in advancement of chocolate.
The beginning of chocolate's history is a thousand years ago. The people lived in the rainforest in central America, Mayan tasted pods of cocoa trees. They let the beans of cocoa trees rot under banana leaves, and dried them in the sun, then ground the roasted beans into a paste, and in conclusion stirred them in water with spices. They drunk them for pleasure. But to tell the truth, it was very bitter. And then, Mayan began to cultivate cocoa trees. Even more, Mayan kings and priests drunk it every day, and cocoa beans used as tool of a ceremony in a wedding, or as money. Chocolate is so important for Mayan. In evidence of that, they painted cocoa trees on their pots, walls... everything!
Hundreds of years later, a group of merchants visited Mayan village to find exotic goods to dedicate to their emperor. They are called Aztecs. Mayans presented Aztecs cocoa beans. Aztec merchants brought back them, and emperor had a liking for them. But getting cocoa beans was hard for Aztecs, so poor people couldn't get them. A chocolate dream of the poor spread rapidly. They thought that chocolate came with the god, Quetzalcoatl from a paradise. They built grand temples to deify Quetzalcoatl, and offered chocolate drinks.
In 1519, a Spanish explorer, Hernan Cortes invaded Aztec. They had many battles. Emperor of Aztec, Montezuma wanted to make peace, the battles ended. Montezuma gave Cortes chocolate drink. But Cortes kept Aztec under Cortes' control. In 1528, Cortes carried back so many treasures of Aztec including cocoa beans. After that, Spanish prince, Philip heard about the drink, and sent to central America for some Aztecs. He got chocolate paste from them, and made it more sweeter and hotter. A gossip of chocolate spread, and drinking chocolate is all the rage with rich people.
Improvement of many equipments brought big business of turning cocoa beans into chocolate drinks. In 1847, an English chocolate maker succeeded making chocolate bar by trial and error! With this as, so many chocolate makers started making chocolate bar, and there was a trend for trying to give birth to new style of chocolate. In 1883, one candlemaker made delicious milk chocolate.
By the 20th century, the today's methods of making chocolate bars accomplished, and so many chocolate makers competed to invent new great chocolate. In 1907, Milton Hershey made new shape chocolate. It named "Kisses" and it was a big hit. In 1912, an American candy maker, Howell Campbell made first mixed chocolate snack. He stirred peanuts, caramel and marshmallows into chocolate, and he called it "Goo Goo Cluster". That same year, another big invention was born. A Belgian chocolate maker, Jean Neuhaus invented hard chocolate shells to stuff mixed chocolate in them. After that, so many factories (large or small) got heated about making original chocolate snack.
In 1824, John Cadbury opened a tea and coffee shop in England. He also sold original chocolate drink. After his shop succeeded, he organized a cocoa and chocolate factory. In 1911, Frank and Ethel Mars began to sell homemade butter-cream candies. In 1923, a melted milk chocolate bar they made caught on! It was nougat with caramel and milk chocolate on its top. After that, in 1941, their son named Forrest invented never melt with body temperature chocolate snack. It's sugar-coated chocolate drops. They named it M&M's, because the chocolate drops were made by Mars and an American, Bruce Murrie gave some money for their project. Now, we can buy it all over the world.
I really like chocolate! But I didn't know the history of chocolate. I'm glad to know about that.

BOOK REVIEWS #8 (JASON AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE)
This story is about long ago in Greece. There was a boy, Jason who was to have been the king of the island Iolcos. The throne was stolen by his uncle, Pelias.
When Jason had grown into a fine young man, he decided to get back his throne from Pelias and visited him. But Pelias set troublesome conditions as reward of the throne. It was to bring the Golden Fleece which was far away in a place, Colchis. Jason accepted his demand unwillingly.
After that, man named Argus built his ship. And Jason collected the crew. Then, so many people hoped to join his adventure. They were Orpheus (a musician and a beautiful huntress), Hercules (the strongest man in the world), North Wind's twin sons (who has wings on their ankles) and so on. Jason received all the people. Jason named the ship Argo and crews Argonauts.
After a departure, they had many obstacles, for example a battle with so big and hairy king Amycus, removing Harpies and escaping from clashing rocks. But they got through them in cooperation with crews.
At last, they reached Colchis. Jason visited the king of Colchis, Aeetes. And Jason told him the reason why came here. But Aeetes attached a condition that digging up a field with tame two bulls and sow the field with dragon's teeth. Jason and crews didn't know what to do.
At that time, there was a person who tearing her hair out in the palace. It was Medea, Aeetes' daughter. She fell in love with Jason at first sight and heard Aeetes' impossible condition. She racked her brains how to help him. Then, she asked the goddess, Hecate for help. Hecate told her to make a magic potion with herbs from the woods and Medea obeyed the order. She asked Jason to drink completed it. Everything is ready.
The next morning, the battle with two bulls started. Two bulls had huge brass hooves and sharp, scary horns. They also breathed out fiery breath. But it had no effect for him with the magic potion. Jason had no trouble tamed two bulls and discharged his duty.
And then, where he'd sown the teeth, soldiers were growing out of the ground. Jason couldn't compete with so many soldiers, so he threw a big stone into the ground. The stone killed one soldier. Just then, soldiers began to look for the culprit and killed each other. Jason avoided the crisis.
At last, time came to get the Golden Fleece. But Aeetes planned that his army will burn Argo and kill all the crew tonight. Medea overheard that plan, and she let them know about that in a hurry. So Jason instructed his crews to hide in Argo and went out to get the Golden Fleece with Medea soon.
The Golden Fleece was hung from the massive oak tree's branches and guarded by vast and scary snake. So, Medea put the snake to sleep with the magic song. Jason took advantage of a momentary chance and got the Golden Fleece!
After that, Argo departed soon, but Aeetes who heard the news chased after them. After all, Argo was surrounded by his army. Just then Medea proposed one idea. It was to kill her brother, Absyrtus who was in charge of the ships. They practiced that idea and Medea killed her brother with her hands.
The strategy succeed, but Medea was tortured by a feeling that her has done wrong. So, they stopped at the island to ask the gods for forgiveness. Circe who is a beautiful enchantress said "The gods have forgiven you!" They felt easy to heard that and they went back to Iolcos with the Golden Fleece. Finally, Jason became a king of Iolcos and Medea became a Queen.
This story is rewarding to the reader for me! ... I know the summary is too long, but this book has so many good scenes!

My Family
Several years ago, I visited their grave for the first time. In Japan, an aborted fetus and a miscarried fetus is called "mizuko". Mizuko is held a memorial service with other babies who lost their lives. And there is "mizuko-zizou" with them. Mizuko-zizou is a guardian deity for the spirits of mizuko. I was surprised to see the place. There were many many confectioneries, toys, tricycles... All of them are present for the babies. Mizuko is gathered together, so we can't find the personal space for each babies such as ordinary graves. But I was glad see them very much. I felt just as I could see my older brother and younger sister. On the point of going home, I told myself that "I'll visit here again."
Young people today don't visit graves of their ancestor or their relatives very much. And I also one of them. But I think that it is very important to express our gratitude to them.

This is a Japanese rock band, Base Ball Bear. They are young, but have real ability. So now they get attention.
They went to the same high school. A beggining of the band was a school festival. And then, they accumulate several experiences with support from many people.
One of the attraction of them is their special characters. Yusuke Koide who is in charge of vocal and guitar (the left in the front row) is clever and humorous. When they appear on TV or radio, always he talks a lot and makes everyone smile.
A drummer of the band is Daisuke Horinouchi (the right in the back row). He is always brimming with vigor, and delight everyone. But also he is really considerate man.
Shiori Sekine is a bassist and a chorus (right in the front row). As you can see, she is the only woman in this band. Also, she is one younger than others. And she is pretty and naturally a bit spacy. She is a charming girl!
Finally, I'll introduce a guitarist, Shouhei Yuasa (the left in the back row). He is a very taciturn person. But his unreliability brings put female fan's maternal instinct. He is loved by so many people.
It is said that their songs have a feeling of after school. Their songs reminds us of bitter sweet memories of our first love. But meanwhile, their songs are filled with life and death problem. With that emptiness and sweet-and-sour flavor, they attract me very much.

Pretty Animal For Me
The reason why I like them are some facts. First one is their eyes. I think their eyes are so pretty! I went to a pet shop before, I saw one lizard. I gazed at it all the way. Then, the lizard began to doze. The eyes was about to close entirely, but kept at it to be awake. The lizard repeated that over and over looked very pretty for me.
But to tell the truth, I have favorite animal better than lizards. It’s dinosaurs. I like them very much since I was little. But you know dinosaurs don’t exist now, so I can’t see real dinosaurs. Therefore, I like lizards. I think lizards look like dinosaurs very much. Actually, “saurs” means “lizards”. Do you know that?
I can understand people say lizards are unpleasant. But I hope that such people try to see lizards even just a little moment when they go to a pet shop. Perhaps they can find some good things about them or understand what I said. First of all, please see their round eyes fixedly. You may be surprised at they have beady and pretty eyes.

Second one is their songs. They make their own songs. So, there are so many honest feelings in their songs. Things about love, life, society and so on. All of them startle me. Especially, we can feel their life-sized feelings or affection from their love songs. I will introduce one phrase of them.
"That woman isn't exist.

I will introduce the history of BEAT CRUSADERS briefly.
In 1997, Toru Hidaka (the center in this picture) formed BEAT CRUSADERS with Mr.Iwahara. So, when BEAT CRUSADERS was born, the number of members are only two! And the form of this band is one guiterist and one dramer. It's so eccentricity!
After that, BEAT CRUSADERS changed the member over and over several times. The form of the number of members became four people gradually.
In 1999, BEAT CRUSADERS accomplished an indie debut with the first single "NEVER POP ENOUGH E.P.". BEAT CRUSADERS worked energetically. In this time, the number of members are four people, Toru Hidaka, umu, araki and thai. BEAT CRUSADERS became known to so many people, and their fan increased rapidly. Everyone recognized all their works go smoothly.
But in 2003, the shocking occurrence happened. All the member except Hidaka left. And just then, the contract with the record company has expired. The member is only one and the expiration of a contract... Everyone thoughts "BEAT CRUSADERS is over..."
But, after only three months, BEAT CRUSADERS came back!! Moreover, the number of members became five! They are Masahiko Kubota, Taro Katou, Keitaimo, Masheeta and Toru Hidaka. It's a miracle member! And BEAT CRUSADERS moved to a new record company "CAPTAIN HAUS RECORDINGS". In fact, the company is run by new member, Kubota! And all new members works several bands. So, every member is belongs to BEAT CRUSADERS and others! Every such news surprised everyone!
In 2004, finally BEAT CRUSADERS achieved a major debut. It was the start of an easy advance.
ext, I will present about five special members!
First of all, Toru Hidaka. Without he, BEAT CRUSADERS would not exist! He plays the guitar and vocal. He is very clever. He studied abroad in America for a year when he was a university student. And to tell the truth, he worked for one record company while they were active in music when BEAT CRUSADERS was four. He was not only a musician but also a businessman!
Next one is Masahiko Kubota(right in this picture). He plays the bass and chorus. He is also clever. In BEAT CRUSADERS, Hidaka and Kubota are the brains. And he really likes reading and taking pictures. He is so gentle and clever, so he has many female fan.
Taro Katou plays the guitar and chorus(left in this picture). He really likes guitars and playing it. Actually, I like his cute voice! And he has a beautiful wife. He is the most youngest person in this member.
Keitaimo is a keyboardist(the second from the rightmost). In reality, he couldn't play the keyboard till he joined BEAT CRUSADERS. But now, his skill of keyboard is great! And he also has nice wife.
Last one is Maseeta(the second from the leftmost). He is a dramer. His brilliance of dram performance is strongness. And I really like his performance! He also has cute wife and last year, his first son was born! So, the number of his family is three!

About My Club Activity
Our main activity is volunteer work. For example, visiting to some homes for the aged or disabled, helping to run some events of their homes. All of them are not easy for me, but they are very very fun!! So, as I finished such activity, I am exhausted entirely, but I am filled with a sense of accomplishment!
I got many good things through the club activities. I learned a basic way of using wheel chairs. And also I take to having more wide field of vision, for example, I think "Can the people who need wheel chair go down this street? This street is too narrow for them ..." on my way home.
I will graduate from this club in November. It's really sad, but by the time, I enjoy many activities with my fellows!!
