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 #12 (Rapunzel)

Rapunzel is a famous story written by The Brothers Grimm. A disobedient girl, Rapunzel is a main character, and others are wicked witch and brave Prince Hans.

One married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Rose lived in a small house on a beautiful garden. But the garden belonged to a wicked witch, so nobody can enter it. One day, pregnant Mrs. Rose wanted green vegetable in witch's garden. Mr. Rose went down into the garden with terrible fear, and pulled up a rapunzel. At that time, he was discovered by the witch! The witch said that she would eat him. Mr. Rose requested leave that for his life. Then, the witch suggested to give her a baby in exchange for quiting to eat him. At last, he accepted her demand.
As soon as Mrs. Rose gave birth to a girl, the witch appeared to take the baby. And the witch named the girl Rapunzel. Mr. and Mrs. Rose lost their precious child.
And then, Rapunzel became more beautiful as her grows older, and also she had long long golden hair and blue eyes. For fear that someone would snatch Rapunzel, the witch shut in a tower with no door in the weird, deep forest. Rapunzel had to be at the top of the tower. And the witch climbed the tower with hung Rapunzel's long hair from her room.
Rapunzel spend boring days, because she saw nothing special, had nothing to do. One day, one prince named Hans happened to pass by the tower. He noticed Rapunzel, and she asked him to the tower to seek help from a restraint from the witch. Then, they thought out a means to escape from the tower. It was that Prince Hans bring a ball of silk, and Rapunzel make a ladder from them.
Their plan was going along smoothly. The ladder became longer, almost completion. But one day, Rapunzel made a slip of the tongue by vocal about Prince Hans. The witch became enraged and transferred Rapunzel to the middle of the desert to never see him! At night, Prince Hans not knowing that, climbed the tower as usual. But the top of the tower was unusual. There was no beautiful girl, but there was a wrinkled old woman. The witch sneered, and pushed him off from the top of the tower. Fortunately, he was saved from death, but he lost his sight.
Prince Hans didn't give up. He was searching Rapunzel everywhere for months. Finally, he got intelligence about a beautiful girl with long golden hair and blue eyes from a camel seller. He hurried to the desert by a carriage. And then, they pledged to meet again! Rapunzel threw her arms around his neck and began to cry filled with joy. Just then, her tears fell onto his eyelids. And surprisingly, his eyes began to operate normally!
After that, they got married and lived in Prince Hans' castle with their children named Pumpkin, Lettuce and Sprout!

Rapunzel is very famous story all over the world. Of course I know, but I have never read it. So, I read it for the first time. And I felt the strength of love and women. Rapunzel is so wonderful story, I think.
