MR6 Lilo & Stitch

I watched “Lilo & Stitch”, which is one of animation movies of Disney. I had not watched Disney movies for a long time, so I was a little bit nervous.

Stitch is a prototype made by Jumba Jookiba. The character is very wild like a monster. He has a strong power enough to destroy everything and it is his instinct. Moreover, he can reflect bullets, count faster than computers, and see things in the darkness. However, Union army is going to kill him because he is very dangerous for them. He escapes from there to use a small spaceship and he gets to the Earth. He is very injured by Union army, he falls over and Earth people save him.

Around that time, Lilo is living as she likes. She is mischievous and her classmates don’t like her. She has a sister, Nani, and Nani is unable to control her. One day, Lilo insists on her request that she want to have a pet like a dog. Therefore, they go to a pet shop and Lilo finds Stitch there. She likes him very much, but he doesn’t like her. She buys him gladly, but she gets upset because he behaves at will. As the time passes, they get friendly, but he is caught by Union armies. Lilo gets involved in his problem, but finally, the boss allows him to stay with Lilo. After that, he and she are good friends.

Finishing watching this movie, I thought it is interesting, but is also predicable. I could predict the whole story and it is correct. I don’t think it is boring, but I expected surprising things like a sudden reversal. Lilo and Stitch are afraid of loneliness. I was moved some lines that Stitch said “I’m lost” over reading “An ugly duckling” and “My family, I found it by myself” (I don’t remember the real lines). Finally, I have a doubt. It is that some people say Stitch is pretty cute. I don’t think so. There is no accounting for tastes.

Japanese cultures

Japan has lots of cultures. Many people without distinction love almost all of them.

One of the most famous cultural places is Kyoto. Kyoto has Japanese traditional cultures and historic architectures like Kinkaku temple, Kiyomizu temple, and so on. Many sightseers go through these cultures and are enslaved by their attractions. Some of them have much knowledge about Japanese ancient culture than that of Japanese. So much, Kyoto has great attractions for everyone.

Other popular culture is Japanese animations and cartoons. Pokemon and Ziburi series, Mononoke-hime and Tonarino-Totoro, for example, are loved by most of the people irrespective of age. Dragon Ball also is very popular around boys in U.S.A. and Australia and many other counties. Many Japanese animations are televised in Europe, America, and Australia.

At last, Japanese foods are popular in many counties as a health food. They are introduced in a health TV program. But some of them have peculiar taste, so foreigners can’t eat them. Natto and Aojiru are the typical examples. In contrast to them, sushi is the common food in Europe and U.S.A. In France and America, the shapes and taste of sushi are different from the Japanese. I have ever heard that a chef at a restaurant put chocolate source on it. That’s amazing!

Japanese cultures are very popular and changed those shapes or contains by many people’s hands or devices. Japanese cultures have been existed as the international ones all over the world.

Book review 2-12

I read, “Forrest Gump” made by Winston Groom. This is a warm and funny story about a good-hearted young man from Alabama, Forrest Gump.

He’s an unusual man, however,　he is very tall and good footballer and has a special power to play the harmonica without teaching from anyone. After college, he becomes a soldier and goes to Vietnam, where he meets two people, Benjamin and Bubba. He is active in the war, but he loses Bubba. After that, he meets the President of America, he goes into space and his best friend, Sue, is an ape. Sue did some funny actions in the story.

I think it is a little boring because it is different from that of movie. The existence of Sue and Forrest’s activities on Chess and Arm-wresting are not showed in the movie. I think these are an original story of this book. I recommend this book to read another story of Forrest Gump even if you like the movie’s scenario.

I read this book, “The Room in the Tower and other ghost stories”. The stories are mysterious and horror.

The first story is about a woman in a black coat. The main character was a woman who had an elder sister. The sister married a man and they stayed in Dublin, but she got ill and wanted to visit her hometown. The younger sister was happy for her visiting. However, she was dead on her way to home. After that, she also went to Dublin and married a rich man. She had a wonderful time, but she met a strange woman in a room of her husband’s house. She was afraid of her and she decided to return her hometown. She got the real happy life with her father and mother.

The second story is about a lost man and a mysterious house. One day, Imray disappeared and one of his friends started to look for him. He could not find him and he got a room of Strickland’s house. It was a good place, but there were some strange things. He saw a face through one of the windows from the garden and he saw a brown snake in the corner of the ceiling. The man and his guest attacked the snake and broke the ceiling. Suddenly, a thing fell down to the floor and it was Imray. He was killed by someone. The murderer, Bahadur Khan who is a servant of Strickland, admitted that he killed him. The mysterious story ended.

The third story is about a room in a tower. There was a dangerous woman in a picture in a room in a tower. A young woman married an older man and arrived at his house. But his dead wife was still there. A dead man walked through a house every night because he wanted the people there to catch his killer. Sometimes the dead returned…

I am too tired to write.

After reading this, I thought that it was not so scaring. The reason is that I am an adult and the stories are for children rather than for adult. I will read more horror one someday.

Yellow jackets

A few weeks ago, I heard a terrible story from my mother. The story was about a nest of wasps in an entrance of a forest.

One day, my mother and my little brother went to the entrance to clean my family grave. On their way to home, downing a gradient, he found some wasp flying about a tree. He noticed them and they followed him. He escaped from them in a hurry and went home as soon as he could. My mother was also safe. The big problem spread to neighbors. Finally, they decided to call a wasp buster. The staff worked well. The battle between him and wasps took about two hours and he could get rid of almost all them from there. He put honey with poison around the nest and there was no wasp after that.

Wasps are very dangerous. Their one or two attacks bring an enemy the death. Please be careful!

My new cell phone

I bought my new cell phone 2 days ago. The reason was that my old one did not work well because of the accident of the battery and electronic circuits. It often turned off the power suddenly, so I was in trouble. Then, I decided to buy a new one. The cell phone is wider and thinner than the old, but I have not got used to it. The buttons are a little bit different from the old, so it is a little difficult to control it easily. The model is W53S and I bought it for free by using discount points. Then, I have a big goal, which is keeping the new cell phone well at least for 2 years because I took a safety service. If I want to gain a profit, I must use the micro phone for 2 to 5 years without any troubles. The goal is very hard, however, I am sure that I can do it.

I will get a seal for decorating my cell phone on this Wednesday. I am looking forward to getting it.

Book review 2-10

I read “Alice’s adventures in wonderland” written by Lewis Carroll in last Sunday.

Alice was lying under a tree with her sister and she saw a rabbit wearing clothes. She followed him and she arrived at a strange house. There were many kinds of strange things. They brought various magical phenomenons and made her big and small. She also visited intriguing worlds and met a baby who was able to change himself a pig, a griming cat who was able to vanish, a person who was enjoying his tea ceremony endlessly, and a pack of cards. Finally, she found herself lying under the tree. Was it a magical dream or real things? She was under the tree and talked with her sister.

I had never read this story since then, so I could read this with fun. Every character was individual, so it became my memorable story. I wondered why the queen of cards was so selfish. Perhaps, all characters have fit minds. The stories are very creative and you may be confused by the story, but you will get used to it soon.

A Year-end party in Yamaga

I went to Yamaga with my family and my father’s friends as a year-end party. We visited an Izakaya, Sanroku. It was located outside of a town. Mountains and forests surround the house and some cell phone sometimes doesn’t work well. I have been there once and there is famous for Jidori, chicken meat. The menu is many kinds of meats of chicken. The food of third picture is Sunazuri, sashimi of chicken lever. The texture was a little hard, but it tasted good. The blocks of chicken were not cut small, so we had to cut them with scissors. They were so tough like rubbers and it took a little bit long time to burn them. We had a good time at the party.

MR5 School of Rock

I watched “School of Rock” made by Richard Linklater in 2003. This movie is comedy and the main character is Jack Black (as Dewey Finn).

He loves rock very much and has a passion to rock. However, He was fired from a bind and he spent dull time whole a day, but he heard news that a private school needed a teacher in stead of the former. He wanted a job, so he agreed the request. The school was very a famous school and the principle was very strict to keep the school well. He became a homeroom teacher, but he suffered from the atmosphere of the class. One day, he saw that the students playing their instruments well in a music room. He was moved the scene and asked them to play rock music. At first, they didn’t like rock, what is worse, some student were not interested in rock. Then he decided to force them to like rock and make a rock band with them. Their hearts got wilder and wilder. Everyone was in the rock world. The project went well, but it ended up wasted by a notifier. He gave up his goal and returned to the fallen life again, but pupils came to his house to wake him up and join a rock music competition. Although their team didn’t get the first prize, but the team got very popular and the schoolmaster got happy so much. After that, he enjoyed his life with teaching and playing rock.

After watching this movie, I was surprised the content because it was very unusual and very creative. The funniest scene was the ending. Dewey said a farewell lines with singing a song and the lines were for viewers. A comedy movie made this funny thing come true. I also like the character of Dewey. It is a great thing that a human has a big dream like him. The goal makes him/her hard. Although his actions were eccentric, they were the amusing points. I felt lucky to watch this movie.
