My recent music life

Recently, I enjoy music life. I'll talk about it.
last November, I played music on sophia festival.  A lot of people praised my playing, it was very happy memory. I was simulated by it, and I organized my band with my closest friend and my circle member. We decide our participation to live event on december. We supposed toplay music of Red Hot CHilli Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, and Oasis. I practised much, and when I practised together, I think I could best player since my life. I and Closest friend are know each other since our high school. So I think we made a little progress in playing music. It was very happy feeling. To improve our play, I bought some materials connect between bass guitar and amplifer. It yield good results, I could make good sound! The day had came, We play our best gig! I think I could enjoy full of it! I am freshman, but my senior take trouble to come to see us. And praised our playing! 
Good news came to us from unexpected place. My classmate, who proficient in Drums, he plays drum since 6 grade elementary school, praised us and suggest session with him. It was awesome thing!  And we got together at music studio.  surrounded by drums and guitar (they are very good player.) , I feel nervous, but when music started, I found I was absorbed into it. Drums yield powerful groove, so I could play more comfortable. I found what is important for music is rhythm!  after it, we play some blues. We take turns playing solo part, it was very interesting experience. 

It is last article. So i want to finish this blog by My favorite song. It is Red Hot Chilli Peppers' song "Wet sand".

This song's guitar solo is great! I can't stop crying. It also has beautiful lyrics. so I want to introduce it.

My shadow side so amplified
Keep coming back dissatisfied
Elementary son but it's so...

My love affair with everywhere
Was innocent why do you care
Someone start the car
Time to go...you're the best I know

My sunny side has up and died
I'm betting that we collide
The universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen
Are treating me like Benzedrine
Automatic laugher from a pro

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I'd like to get to know
You a little better baby
God knows that I really tried

My what a good day
For a take out bride
I'd like to say we
Did it for the better of

I saw you there so unaware
Those hummingbirds all in your hair
Elementary son but it's so

The disrepair of Norma Jean
Could not compare to your routine

Balarama beauty
Going toe to toe

My what a good day
Just to let it slide
I'd like to say we did it for the better of

I thought about it
And I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The Mother the father the daughter

Right on the verge just one more dose
I'm traveling from coast to coast
My theory isn't perfect but it's close

I'm almost there why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone open up and
Let it show

My what a good day
For a walk outside
I'd like to think we did it for the better of

I thought about it
And I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
The Mother the father the daughter

You don't form in the wet sand
You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do Yeah

You don't form in the wet sand
You don't form at all
You don't form in the wet sand
I do

Aim in 2012

In this time, I want to talk about my aim in 2012.
My first aim is that being man who enjoy everything. I think I was not good man in 2011. My fixed thought bound me and make stubborn man. It was spoiled a lot of fun. It was not good thing. I didn't know joy of university life. I abondoned a lot of fun. I learned from last year that if we entering something, we never know one's good point. So In this year, I want to respect my interest to everything. I want to make myself exposed every good thing. listening real live music, seeing beatiful scene, watching good movies, reading good novels, Eating  a lot of delicious food, I have a lot of things make me fun. That is to say, I want to do everything I hope. But it is very difficult thing. If I do only what I want, someday I have to pay its compensation. So I make my shift switch. When I have a things I have to do, I should focus on it. And When I am free, I make use of time. Enjoy what I like. To gain free time, and do things with concentration, I have to do what I have to do with serious attitude.  In my life from last October, I could have a lot of things I feel happy. I want to respect it.

Second, I want to develop my English skills. When I entered this university, I have a desire being well in English, but throush everyday things, I forgot this passion. So this year, I want to focus on English study. I learned that I never can develop my skills only staying English literarure course in this university. I should start study by myself. I like Japanese, but also I like sound of English. English word suit songs, I like songs sang in  English, It was motivation to study English. I like japanese words translated from English. I like US band Oasis. This band writes beautiful words, I like it. If I become proficient in English, I can enjoy English songs more. I want to be the man!

Third, I want to make everything in order. I am not good at organize things. It reflects to my lifestyle, my room. But sometimes I feel stress about it. I will move my apartment. So I want to make use of this chance.  Don't make a pile of clothes to be washed, throw away dust when I make rubbish, put things where it was placed when I use something, wash dishes after I ate... I have a lot of point to improve.

Fourth, I want to read over 100 books. In last year, I read about 60 books. I know number I read is not important thing, but If I read much, I can have a lot of chance to meet good book. Adding it, Read many books make me understand my taste. I want to be man who can say like or dislike,

new year days 3

In this time, I want to talk about my going out on January 4. I made appoint to go to Nippori with my friend. In my search, Nippori was good place to visit. There are a lot of shrine and temple, a lot of cats live in there. In noon, I waited my friend at Tokyo station. During waiting my friend, I bought a comic book. It was Drifters by Hirno Kota. I like his comics because they have unique characters. He often draw story of war. In hard condition, comic's characters say very cool words. I like it. Drifters is the story about war. In the comic's world, famous historical person (Shimadu Yoshihisa, Nasu No Yoichi, Oda Nobunaga, John of Arc and so on) involved distortion of time, and take to another world. And in this world, they start war.  I enjoyed this comic much, I think this author is good at agitation words. War needs people to have strong belief, so in the war, sometimes we can see agitator. His word make people go to warfare. So agitator use strong words. this expression fascinate readers, and make readers absorbs in comic's war world.

Just finishing reading comic, my friend arrived Tokyo station. we got together, and go to Nippori by Yamanote line. Arriving at Nippori, we did not have fixed plan, so we start strolling. As soon as I turn left from station, we can see temple.  After a little walking, we found Nippori is the place which has a lot of slope. thanks for it, Nippori has very good view. We reached Yanaka Ginza. it is shopping moll which has old Japan taste,Shitamachi Joucho. There are a lot of delicious food smell. grilled bird, Nikuman, and so on. Passed this shopping street, I enjoyed walking much, but I wonder my friend enjoy it or not. But she said it is fun. I was very glad to hear it. walking for 5 minuits, we faced winding paved street. This road is known for Snake road (Hebi michi). we walk this road. we can see some cats in this street. after it, we went to Nedu shrine. Nedu shrine is very big shrine, it is counted for one of the greatest shrine in Tokyo. It has overwhelming history. It is said that it was build 1900 years ago by Yamato Takeru no Mikoto. he is legend person on Japanese myth.  Entering it, we can see a row of red Shinto shrine archway (Torii). It was very beautiful.  I think shrine's red and white colour (we can see it several shrine item) have some connects to Japanese flag colour.  We made a wish, I think This year become good year! We eat late dinner, and when we finish to eat, it became a little dark, evening had came. I knew good place to watch sunset, so we went to there, It is called Fujimi slope. it can watch Mt.Fuji, it was very beautiful.

my new year days 2

I wrote last article, I bought Shigematsu Kiyoshi's novel. It is "Periodic wind Summer(季節風 夏)". I choose this book because situation I like is wrote. This book has 12 short stories. outline introduced one story. it was luckluster baseball players' story. this story is about highschool baseball players, one finished his last game by his own strike out, other is player who never play on game. title is"Before the start after the end (終わりの後の始まりの前に).  we can see from title, they are in the middle between end and start. Their player life is finished, but they still drag thier passion they can't handle with. I played baseball in my elementary school and junior high school life. Our team is not strong, so we always lose for called game. I think I was luckluster baseball player. So I like the story of luckuster baseball player. Reading this story, I remind my end of baseball life. I like baseball, but I was not good player. And I was tired of hard practice. So I found I feel a little joy to end. And my summer vacation had started. I did everything I had wished when I belongs to baseball club. But I feel something not be filled up. One day I had not things to do. I lay around doing nothing, and I watch A movie ( I don't remember its title.). I remember It had impressive sunset scene. When the movie finished, time has passed, sun is about to be set. Just the time, I found I feel loneliness. My life is rolled based on baseball. I remembered everyday's practice. I felt like runnning. I ran the course I ran everyday. Even now, I can remember that feeling. In humid summer night, sweat couldn't stop, breath went out of order, sight was shaked. In the dark night, I ran from light to light. I like something I move. When I am moving, I feel my sense is extended. It is very good feeling. The story has only about 30 pages, but reminde me of a lot of things.

In afternoon January 3, I went to shop for musical instruments. I planned search of my new bass guitar. Bassically, we make bass sound by 3 equalizer on bass amplifer. It was conposed by bass, middle, treble. Most important sound is middle, it is root of sound. My bass too lean mid and high sound. It sounds too noisy, suits strong music. But I like the sound caracterized by low and mid sound. It sounds very sexy. So I went to look for new base.  I have some candidature. I like US band Rage Against The Machine. this band's bass sound  aggressive, abundant low sound. This band is composed by 3 instruments (guitar, bass, drums) and vocal. But yields heavy sound pressure. I respect bass player Tim. So I searched for the bass maker he use.  And find ideal bass. I will mention about it in next article.  see you next time!

My trip to Hokkaido

I want to talk about my year end trip to Hokkaido. I wanted to spend end of 2011 at Tokyo, but my parents said to me. "You become university student, and your brother so, This trip may be last family trip." I heard it, and think it is true. I had looked for chance to do good things to my parents. So it is very good opportunity. To come together with my family, I returned to my birthplace, Yamaguchi. I took monorail To  Chitose airport. During riding it, I enjoyed beautiful scenery. Rainbow Bridge was very beautiful.  When I passed Inspection gate at air port, I felt I slowly progress way to adult. I became the man who can move alone!  I reached Yamaguchi prefecture, and my home. as soon as entering my house, I found my lovely cat. She is tortoise-shell cat, very pretty! but disappointed to me, She couldn't understand me at first. I called her name desperately, and at last she remember me.   When I met her last summer, she got hurt for fight with rival stray cat. So I wondered if she is fine now. I couldn't know good thing or not, She was very fine, rather she became fat cat like a raccoon dog. In Japan, raccoon dog is famous for nickname "ponpoko". It is similar to dog's name "Pochi". My cat looked like raccoon dog, So I teased her " pon-chan". our room is very cold, So family member get together front of stove. But My lovely cat was very shrewd. When someone go somewhere to do something, and back to living room, cat occupy stove space with quiet face.  Including all things, I love my cat!  Next morning, We left Yamaguchi for Hokkaido. But in Ube airport (Yamaguchi) , airline company announced departure was delayed for snowstorm in Hokkaido.  we forced to wait for almost two hours. Plane left airport, but we were announced if Chitose airport's condition is bad, plane returned to Ube airport without landing.  But we could reach Hokkaido.  We moved to hotel near from ski mountain in Niseko. During bus move, I read Maijo Otaro's (舞城王太郎)novel  " Love love love you I love you(好き好き大好き超愛してる)".  This book was recommended by my senior person, but I hesitate it because of it's title. I don't like love story. But when I start to read it, I found this book is usual love story. this book has variable form. it had from too spoken language form to neat written language. It is composed several short stories. I like a story that dream of boy. A boy found he can notice he is dreaming. and he meets dream fixer. dream fixer says dreams become   fraction and divide to people around the world. If all dreams get together, they become one magnificent and very interesting story. but during distributing dreams, dreams get broken and become contradict story. Fixer tell him how to repair dream. it is do kind things for someone. I like this story because it express chaos of dream very well.  In dream, their way to move is camel. But camel moves by hovering. There are several funny expression. it was very interesting. Now, I will devide this topic for homework norm. To be continued.

my new year days

I came back to Tokyo on January 2. and on the same day, I participated in my circle, light music circle's new year's party.  I want see my friends much, so when I see their face for a long time, delight soared in my heart, I smiled.  the place party held was small and witty tea house. it was located at inner part of nallow alley. It was like a building in animation such as made by Studio Ghibli. The party gathered people through generations from freshman to old boy or old girl. So I could enjoy talking with several person. I talked an OB, he works in a famous camera maker. So he made advice to me how to take good photograph. when I taking photos, I usually use flash light. But he said it spoiled the colour subject has. I used my camera to take records of my stroll. But taking picture has a lot of fun. I learned it. Time had passed, talk shifts to serious topic. Our senior said to us, freshman. "Freshman doesn't has strong sense of progress. your average ability is very low." I was shocked this words. Actually, our senior is proficient in playing music. Sometimes I can't find whether I can become good at playing music in senior's age. So I thought I should pile more practice. Skill expand fun of playing music, make us more interesting. So I want to be more familiar with playing music. Now, I organized my band with my closest friend. And we making our original music. So I decide that this year is my music year. I want to be person who enjoying music more. It was very happy party!

On Januay 3, I went out to buy some books. In last year I made one progress. It was that I became a person who can enjoy bookstore.  As before, when I go to bookstore, I couldn't find What I should choose. But In last year I read over 60 books. And became feel fun to choosing book. What story it has? What is topic? Reading  outline on the back of cover, and drifting fancy. It is very interesting thing. Now I think I can stay in bookstore for a whole days!  I started searching interesting novel. I decide to buy novel written by Shigematsu Kiyoshi. Shigematsu Kiyoshi is my favorite writer. He is good at description of real life of kids or tired adults. His story often focus on lackluster life. For example, husband and wife who be about to divorce, girl who can't believe friends, boy can't wrong with classmate, girl does not decide her future so on. His novels often do not have clear good settlement. But it make reader feel something freshing. I think he is good at finding little hope in dayly life. It is his novel's charm. I think.  And I at last I found good novel for me. I want to devide article for homewrok assignment. to be continued!

My new year's days

When New year's day had came, I was moving by car with my friends.  we went to first visiting a shrine for new year's day. We went Hohu Tenmangu. it is one of the biggest shrine in our prefecture. There are a lot of people. So we must be in a row for worship.  Our turn had come. I shooke a bell and made a wish. I hear one story, when you wishes in shrine, you should not tell your wish to someone, and your wish will come true. So I can't write my wish. after that, we enjoyed open air stall. Why food sold in stall is so much delicious? It is my big wonder. We back to our car, and we enjoyed music using car stereo. one friend similar to my music taste. so our talk heat up though it was in the middle of the night.  we go back own house. and get sleep enough. I felt I take sleep for a lomg time.

I got up 3:00 PM. My depature to Tokyo was scheduled 2 in morning. So I don't have enogh time. So I take a stroll by bicycle. I use old bicycle for commute.  this bicycle is handed me by my old brother, It used for almost 10 years. But this bicycle move smooth, and it carry me to nostalgic scene. I follow the way I used to run to go to high school. wind blew in Yamaguchi is actual cold, but including some humidity, so it is cool, comfortable.  I  passed banks by big river. this river flaws in sea, so I could see sea, and big factory faced with sea. This factory had several smokestack, and they emit white smoke. white smoke matches with light blue sky in winter. it was very quiet, and comfortable view.  Actually, I loved my hometown. I like calm scene. Sometimes I can find this phrase. "People who live in urban city live in too high speed." I don't think so, but actually I feel my hometown spend time slowly. It makes me smile unintentionally. If I was too tired, I want to back to my hometown. I think so.

And I reached at my friend's home. I talk a lot with my friend. He said in our conversation, "I want to see you again, so you should return to Yamaguchi prefecture in spring vacation. I am looking for it. Let's go a lot of place. It will be more interesting with your attendance!"  I was glad to hear it. In my hometown, actually I have a lot of happy memory, but there are some bitter memories. I have not put it in order yet. So I think I will never back to my hometown until make everything come to a clean decision. But my friend welcome me and enjoy time with me. It is my pleasure. So, now I will back to my hometown in spring vacation. and I am also looking for it.
