POLYSICS

POLYSICS is one of my favorite musicians. I have gone to their live held in Okinawa (Namura Hall) on February 22nd last year. I know them and I listen their music, but this was first time I saw them. Their music is very interesting for me. And their live performance was very cool. But my friend who went to this live together was struck dumb with astonishment. I wanted to post a movie, but I couldn’t, so I post link. This movie is their live at Rock in Japan Festival. Music is I My Me Mine. It is one of my favorite music of POLYSICS. How do you think about them?

my nail


When I got up in this morning, a nail of my foot broke. I don’t feel pain. But when I found it, I feel pain very much. I can’t strip it, so I deal with it a band-aid. I didn’t remember where I broke it. And, I often make bruise when I sleep. I think that I watch out for my act. And I also make bruise when I drink alcohol, so when I drink, I want to act more quiet.

BOOK REVIEW 1-5 JUMANJI



I read a book name is JUMANJI. The reason why I want to read this book is that my friend name is Kumi said this story becmae a movie and it's very interesting. I didn't know this movie, so I read it.
JUMANJI is a board-game. How to play is that someone throws the dice, and someone goes to square which is number of the dice. It is like Jinsei game. But it has a quite different point. It is that sentence which written in square happen in the real.
First, in 1969, a boy, his name is Alan, found JUMANJI. And, he played it with his girlfriend name is Sarah. When he opened it, he noticed a sentence which written about this game. And he read it. “Do you want to leave the world behind? Then this game is for you. The first one to finish and shout Jumanji wins the game.” They started to play it. And things which are very strange happened. And, when Alan threw the dice, worst problem happened. He went to square which his number. And he read a sentence written in there. “Go to the jungle now, and wait! Somebody must throw a five or eight.” And he was getting smaller and smaller, and the board began to pull Alan into it. And Sarah ran out of the room, and out of house.
After then, in 1995, Peter and his old-sister Judy found JUMANJI. And they also played it. So, things which are very strange also happened. And when Peter threw the dice, he threw a five or eight. And a man appeared. But they didn’t know the man. He is Alan. And Peter and Judy heard his story, and they asked Alan for finishing this game with them. First, Alan said “No”, but he decided to finish it. And Peter, Judy and Alan started it together. But when Peter threw the dice, anything didn’t happen. And Alan noticed lack of member. First, Alan played it with Sarah. So, they looked for her, and started it four members again. Many things which are very strange happened. Big mosquitoes, black bats, monkeys, lions and hunter appeared. And they got over them. And when Peter threw the last dice, JUMANJI finished.
This story is very interesting for me, too. I excited. I thought I want to play it, but I also think I don’t want to play it. I want to watch this movie very much.

BOOK REVIEW 1-4 THE USA


I read the book name is THE USA. The reason why I want to read this book is that I’m interested in America. I don’t know about America well. So, it was very interesting for me to read this book. I want to write its memorable parts.
First, I was impressed by American history. I took the EnglishHistory class last year, and I learned about histories of America, England and so on. But then I was not interested in history, so I don’t remember about it now. And, I want to quote outline from this book. “There were no people in America 30,000 years ago. Around that time, the first people probably arrived in Alaska from Asia. They traveled south and became the North Americans Indians, and the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas and other peoples of Central and South America. Later came the Inuit (Eskimos) of Canada and the Arctic. But there are only few of these early peoples in America today.” I know that America has many races like Japanese, Chinese and so on. So, I satisfy of this story.
Next, I was impressed by the book written about black Americans. I have heard that black Americans were discriminated against. They were slaves. But now, I think that it stops. Many athletes are black Americans. I respect them. Then, I want to quote something. It is written as “USA facts”. First, “A story about the hard life of slaves called Uncle Tom’s Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, was one of the most popular books of the mid-nineteenth century and made a lot of people see that it was wrong to keep slaves”. I have heard Uncle Tom’s cabin. I have not read it, but I think I want to read. I know that black Americans had been discriminated, but I don’t know details of it. Next, “Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass were famous slaves who helped many other slaves escape from the South to the North using a route called the ‘underground railroad.” I don’t know Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. But when I read it, I thought they are grate men.
When I read the book named “THE USA”, I learned many things about United States of America. And I thought I don’t know about America well. I want to learn not only English, but also American history.

BOOK REVIEW 1-3 U.F.O.s


I read the book named U.F.O.s. The reason why I want to read it is that I’m interested in space.
This book is written about Unidentified Flying Object and aliens. Do you think that they exist? I think that they exist somewhere in space. Because, many things called parts of UFOs and aliens were found. But I think most of them are hoaxes. Actually, this book is written so, too. And, this book also says, believing and not believing depend on us. I don’t have confidence that the reason why I think UFOs and aliens exist. But I want to believe. I watch many movies and dramas which appear UFOs and aliens. Above all, I like STAR GATE which is an American drama. I think this drama gives us many dream. And, I want to think that space has many planets like the earth. And, I think that space is very wide, so planets like the earth (these planets have any animate object) exist. This idea may not true, but I want to believe. If there are any planets which have any object like human exist, I want to go there and see them.
