The view of lives
There are a lot of jobs in this world, and we dream to get a job that we want. Some people think that it is great to get a job which we can earn a lot, and others think it is important to get a job which we can feel the contentment for it. In the movie”The Nanny Diaries”, there are two types of people as I mentioned. In my opinion, it is important to get a job which attracts you a lot.
In this movie, Annie Braddock graduated a college and her mother wanted her to find a respectable position in the business world. In this case, her mother think the position of the society is important and the money. On the other hand, Annie found that it is important to feel some fulfillment by doing her job.
I understand the both side of ideas, and I think both of them are right. The key is how we can keep the balance of these thoughts. One way to keep the balance is that “Do whatever you want”. Actually, most of people who earn huge money are doing a job what they wanted to do. It is sounds so egotistic, however it’s the best way to take the idea of both side.

The Way You Wear Your Cloth
There is many way to wear clothes in this world and there is much opinion about it. “Snow boarder Kokubo barred from games opening ceremony over dress code” Japan Today was discussing the way he wore the Olympic dress. In my opinion, we should wear cloth formally depends on the situation.
The problem of the snowboarder was he wore the official uniform informally when he arrived at Vancouver. There were a lot of media and they took picture of him. If he wore it informally not in front of media, it wouldn’t be a big problem. The reason of this problem was because he didn’t think when he need to wear it formally.
We can say same thing about youth who are sagging their pants. If they are pants-sagging when they are hanging out with their friends and wear their school uniform formally, the media don’t argue about their fashion. Because they do it all the time, people take a critical attitude to them.
However, it will also be a problem if they are pants-sagging too much. Showing their underwear to everyone is just disgusting.
It is important to express what they think about their fashion. However, it is more important to think when they can express it especially in Japan. We should not forget that there are rules of this society.

Kumamoto Onsen
Onsen is one of a famous Japanese culture. We go there when we felt tired, when we want to just relax, and when we want to have some fun with our friends, or a girlfriend. There are two types of Onsen. One of them is public Onsen. We take our cloth off and take it with people we don’t know each other. The best point of that is we can talk with those people. Other type of Onsen is private Onsen which we go there with our family or girlfriend.
The famous places of Onsen are Kurokawa Onsen, Tamana Onsen, Yamaga Onsen, and so on. My favorite place to go is Kikuch Onsen. There are a lot of private Onsen and each of them is really cheap even for students. It’s cost around 1500 yen for 40 min. They usually have 10 or more rooms, so we don’t have to wait a long time to take it.
Kurokawa Onsen is the well known Onsen in Japan. There are a lot of Onsen and it looks so historical place. It is because the owners of the Onsen take their hands together for making the place look great. The road is simple, and there are no colorful things you can see. That’s why people love to go there.
Onsen make all people happy. A lot of people from other countries go there to feel the culture, and they become a big fan of it. There are still lots of Onsen I haven’t been to. I wish I go every famous Onsen and become a King of Onsen.

About My Self!
I was born in Hyuga, Miyazaki. I don't remember what I was doing when I was a little kid. However, I remember I had been practicing piano after I came back from kindergarten and I didn't like it. My grandfather of my mother side was a music teacher at junior high school and he was also principle of school. That's why I forced to play the piano.
I was practicing the piano until elementary school. After I entered junior high school, I had decided to join baseball club. The first day of the junior high school, my friends and I were going to visit the baseball club. However, the friend's older sister was in a brass band, so we had to visit there first. It changed my life.
After I started playing the musical instrument, I started to feel the fun of music. It is because I have to play it with lots of people. I was practicing at home and at school. Then, I made my mind to go to the United States for learning music. I was always saying that “I want to go to the U.S. for music”.
I entered Senshu Univ. Tamana high school after I graduated the junior high school. The reason why I went to the high school is that I just wanted to keep playing the musical instrument, and wanted to join a marching band. I was the first student from other prefecture at the time. It was also first time to live out of house, and I was very worried about living there by myself. However, there were a lot of upper grade students who are very kind, and the feeling was gone soon. I could concentrate on playing musical instrument, and practicing the marching band. Still, I had a plan to go to the U.S. for music. I asked some advice for my plan to my high school teacher, and he always said “No way!” However,I couldn't gave up the plan, even if my teacher said so. My father said "yes" when I asked him to let me go to the U.S. My father was always saying that “If you have something you want to do in the future, just do it. Even if you couldn't achieve to your goal, it dosen't mean nothing.”
I was in Narita Air port, and my father and mother were there to say good bye to me. I had a ticket to the U.S. My dream came true. I entered the University of Montana, and I took the music performance major. It was the greatest moment for me, playing trombone everyday, joining the big jazz festival, and making a lot of friends. I did all what I wanted to do there. After that, I made a new goal, become an English teacher and also direct a brass band in Japan, for my life.
I came back to Japan after I spent two and a half years at there, and took the entrance exam for this college, Kumamoto Gakuen University. Now, I am taking some class for getting a teacher’s license, and I also give a lesson to high school marching band, junior high school brass band, and elementary school brass band. There is no happier life than my life.
My life till now was always with music, and it will be the same until I die. There is only one chance to make my life great. I will do my best to make it, with music.
