The Cove ~as a tradition~

I believe every country in this world has own cultures. Some of them look very strange to others. We should try to understand their original culture. However we compare it with ours.

A movie, won an Oscar, “The cove” is telling us how the Japanese doing the dolphin slaughter. It is a Japanese traditional culture to catch dolphins and use as tools, and it is not slaughter to catch dolphins for Japanese.

If you think it is slaughter, we can say killing cow and pig is the same. However, we don’t think it is. The key of this topic is the way we kill the dolphins. We stick a pike into the dolphins’ body and a lot of bloods are coming from their body. The beach is turning to color of red and the dead dolphins. We can see it from the movie.

A lot of people think it is just the dolphin slaughter, but it is our traditional culture and it keeps our lives better. That is what we should understand.

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.

Justice will prevail in the end

These days, the WikiLeaks group is on the television about leaking the classified information on the internet. It is hard to understand what problem will happen after they put the information on their web site. However, we know that they are just telling the truth that we need to know.

I will support what they have done today. We have the rights to know what the countries in this world are doing now, and the things it’s very important. The case of North Korea is one of those examples. The situation in North Korea is getting worth day by day, and we should keep our eyes on them to keep our lives safety. WikiLeaks find out the truth that Kim Jong Il was unlikely to live beyond 2015, which is good for us because they might lose their power as a country. If I live in South Korea, this information makes me feel easy about the situation between those two countries.

What they are doing now is investigated by the U.S. government about the leak of U.S. classified information. However, I am sure the justice will prevail in the end.

How to solve the Sleeping problems

There are a lot of problems about sleeping. Sometimes we can’t fall asleep, we feel tired when we wake up. Here are solutions for these problems. First, if we are tired, we are trying to sleep as long as possible. However, it is not good idea to sleep as long as possible. If you sleep more than on other days, the rhythm of your body will be different from normal. Then you will spend the day with your body feeling bad. The best way to avoid from that tiredness is to sleep earlier than normal day. If you usually go to bed at 12, then go to bed at 10. Second, if you are stressful every day, you will be tired even if you sleep in long time. Studies suggest that when you are stressful you probably want to go back to bed again when you wake up. On the other hand, if you feel everything is going great or you are having fun time, your body and mind are released from stress, and you can fall asleep very well. Therefore, you should spend time with your friends or do some exercise outside to release your stress. Third, when you take a shower or a bath. The temperature of the water is really important. When you are falling asleep, your body temperature is going down. It helps your sleep. So, when you take a shower or a bath, you should set the water temperature lower. It’s really important to have a great sleep and feel great when we wake up. If we feel tired when we wake up, we don’t want to do anything. When you solve the sleeping problems, your life will be happier.

Studying English

I believe the English is the world language. Most of people in this world can speak English, or studying English. There are some experiences you will have by studying English. One of the experiences you will have by studying English is that you can make a lot of friends around the world. As I said already, people are studying English at school in the world. If you can speak English, you can talk with most of people who are from all over the world. Other benefit of studying English is that you will know how the Japanese is great. I have been to America for two and half years for studying music. I also studied English at the college. It was really hard for me to read books in English. I found that it is happy to study in Japanese and understand in Japanese. I also found that Japanese culture has really long history. The biggest benefit of studying English is that you will know how you don’t know about Japanese history. There are chances to talk with exchange student from America if you are in English major, and usually we will start to talk about Japanese history. However, most of Japanese people don’t know how to explain Japanese history in English. I was one of them. Then they will start to study Japanese history in English or study how to explain in English. By studying English, you will know Japanese history, and you will find a lot of foreign friends, and so on. English make you as world wide person.

The Differences and Similarities Between Japanese Education and American Education

Education is the most important subject of keeping this world safety. When the world war ended, American government changed Japanese education system for keeping the peace. Therefore, there are some similarities and some differences. First, there are “Home school” system in America, the people, who decided to do “Home school”, don’t have to go to school everyday, but their mother or father have to teach to their child for each subject. They also have some tests as normal student. However, Japanese education system doesn’t have the “Home school” system. Japanese students have to belong to school till 15 years old. It is one of differences between Japanese education and American education. Second, Japanese students have their own classroom, and the teachers has to move the classroom every time. However, American students doesn’t have their own classroom, therefore, the students has to move for next class. The benefit of having their own room in Japan is that they can communicate with their classmate a lot, and make a strong connection between them. Third, the Japanese and American education system has “second language requirement”. Both countries students required to take second language class at school. Usually, Japanese students required to take English class. In America, there is Spanish class, German class and so on. The purpose of having the second language requirement is having an international view. There are differences and similarity between two countries. However, both countries have the importance of education’s idea. I believe it is the biggest similarity of two countries.

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.

Christmas.

Oh, it is already Christmas day. I can not believe that it have been a year since the last Christmas. I have done a lot of things this year. I went to Miyazaki a lot for teaching marching band. And also junior high school and elementary school in kumamoto. I had really good time with them as I already told you. I think I had great experience this whole year. My high school got the first prize and I was there and share the greatest time with them and their teacher. Teaching music is really difficult and fun! It's depends on how you can teach them in easy word. The music will change if you are great conductor or great teacher. Isn't is interesting?

I also studied a lot this year. I think... Almost every night, I was in the library and I was finishing my homework! And I finished every one of them!! How am I good student! I will be junior next year. So, I should be ready for everything I have to do next year. I think I am very ready for every thing. Well, I hope so.. Anyway, I will reach my goal next year, and the goal is get more higher score on TOEIC test and get 300,000 yen. I can do it!!!

Do you have any plan for this weekend? I think everyone of you have. I want to go to Aso for watching some beautiful illumination which I saw on the TV. It was really beautiful and a lot of people were there to enjoy it. It may take more than 1 hour to get there. I also like driving my car so it is not big problem. I have to drive more than 3 hours when I go back to Miyazaki where my hometown is, by the way.

If you have any present for me, just give it to me whenever you want: )

It seems like snowing this evening and I hope so.

Have a great holiday and happy new year!!!

I went to teach marching band so many times at his school and i also learned a lot of things from him. I can not believe that he is not going to be at junior high school anymore. but i hope he will keep doing music job. and be my goal forever. I am here because of he. thank him for being my teacher and teaching music for me. I want to be a teacher like him. Teaching some subject of cause, but also teach very important things for life. He did it and changed my life in a good way. I am still doing music and teaching music for a lot of people, i think it is because he was there.

The last practice

We had last practice for marching band competition today. They looked really nervous, so I said some funny jokes. They didn't lough,but it was so funny I am sure. Then, they started laughing because they thought I am such a poor man. The last show today, they did really great jobs. We couldn't get a gold prize, but I thought it's doesn't matter. What we need is that the day practiced hard and the mind not to give up so quickly.

I am really proud of them.

Punk'd

This is the best tv show!

You should see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



http://www.mtv.com/videos/punkd-full-episode-ep-808/1560332/playlist.jhtml

I was watching this show evry day with my friends.

I've got it.

I' got a new computer!

My old computer is broken long time ago. The screen was not working when I turn on the computer. So, I couldn't do my assignment at my home. I had to go to library or computer room every time for finishing my homework. It was really pain in my neck.

Now, I have a new computer. It was really cheap, however it is really smart and works so quickly compared with the old broken computer.

How old is my "old" computer? I think HE is 80 years old. I bought it three or four years ago. I don't know it true or not, but I think computer get old sooner than dogs.

I am not so picky for a computer but I really love it. I can connect it to a TV screen and watch movies or play computer games with big screen. It sounds really good, isn't it?

I used to have "hp" computer, but this time, I bought "Dell" computer. Of course I want to have better computer, however I don't have enough money to buy expensive machine such as "SONY" and so on.

The big problem for using the computer is that I can not use Internet now. I am living at my apartment where is not connected to the Internet since I moved to there. Well, still I have to go to the computer room for doing my assignment. Oh, no........ It is getting worm and worm. I think I should connect to the Internet as soon as possible.

I've got the red one! It is cool! I think...

Great golden week.

I think it was a great golden week. But I hate the end of the day of week. Not only me. Everyone hate it.

the first and second day of the week, I went to Keiryo junior high school for teaching marching band. It is fun to talk to them and teach. I also learn a lot of things from them!

I really feel that junior high school student are changing now. When I was a junior high school student, I had break time a few times during the practice time. However, now, they are having more break time to drink water and hide from the sunlight.

I think it is really important to save them from those dangerous things. However, the student's mental is getting weak and weak, I really feel it.

My teacher who taught me when I was a junior high school student, said that " I can not be hard on them, because they will not come to school because of it."

I understand we need to careful for them, but being too careful makes their mental more weaker. It will be problem when I become a father or school teacher, or already it is.
