this semester is going to finish. I feel it was very long.


In this weekend, I cleaned my room for the first time in a long time. Using this opportunity, I organized books which I finished to read.

This is my collection since I started to live alone in Tokyo. they reach 34 books. By arranging like that,I satisfy myself with this quantity. But there are alot of books that I want to read. So I need more time. books gave me energy. When I finish to read books, my impression of books made me more positive or more thoughtful about something. So I will respect this valuable experiences. I usually buy books at second hand book store. this place is very interesting for me. Sometimes I can nice book at very cheap price.


When I started university life, about three months have passed, but I don't accustome my style to new enviropnment. But I could make some friends, so my life is not so bad.


In  my previous article, I talk about Bob Dylan's song. I study about it, so I want to pick up Bob Dylan.


I'll introduce Bob Dylan's song Forever Young and talk about my idea, what is youth? Firstly, I'm going to give you plain explain about Bob dylan. He is very famous singer song writer in US. He is praised by Allen Ginsberg. The Rolling Stones, well known band in Britain,choose him “world's most great 100 singers in history” as No.7.Now, I'd like to talking about this song. He made this song for his son. So, this song is warm. And he wishes hapiness. Following is this song's lyric.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

The word “May” expresses his hope.And say “May you stay forever young”. In fact, being young is very good thing. But we can't stay young forever. Is it simply his wish? What is youth? I think being young is enjoying everything freshly. I want to introduce very interesting translation of this lyrics.Recently, this song became a picture book.Interestingly, this book translate The Phrase “Forever Young” into the words “beginning days”. It says everyday is your beginning days.
Our life with filled with new days. So, if we enjoy our days, we may keep our youth.
I think loving everyday's life keep us young.So, I want to make a conclusion in this words.
Let's enjoy colleage life!


My home work is going to finish. I think this experience is worth trying. I always practice only reading for exam, so through this homework, I can practice writing in daily life. I'll practice more and more! good bye.

July has started.Recently,summer vacation approaches to me, and I become more rude. So I want to change my attitude. But when I face desk, I always stop thinking. I sometimes hear "it is not true motivation move human, but one's act produce one's motivation".  I think it is true, but this first step is very difficult to put into practce. There are lot of time which can use for only me in summer vacation. So I want to make use of it well.

I always stay home, so I don't have enough topic about this blog. So I want to talk about summer. When I went my way to home, I heard a sound. it is like glasses hit each other, tinkle-rinkle.  This is Japan's special feature of summer season, it is called "hu-rin". When we hear this sound, we feel cool although outside is very hot.  Sound can change human's feeling, it is very great thing! I like a lot of sounds, water flow, rain, cutting vegetables, breeze shaking trees and so on.
I'm going to travel to Hiroshima prefecture in this summer vaction.There is several delicious food, okonomiyaki,Chinese noodle. In hiroshima, we can see streetcars. this is very expensive and tasteful transportation. I suppose to met old friend there. I am looking forward to meet he. He is very nice guy. He is Hiroshima university student. I want to visit Onomichi with him. Onomichi is very famous tourist spot in Hiroshima prefecture. This place has very japanese townscape facing with sea. Houses are crowded in hill. So old japanese road wind along these house, and called "town of hill". In this town, a lot of cat inhabits. Cats match this old japanese landscape, so this town is often featured on cat magazines. I like cat very much. But real factor that I want to visit there is another one. It is my favirite animation, "Kami-chu". It is story about junior high school student who becomes japanese kami(like god). In japan, people believe kami dwell in everything and called Yaoyorozu no kami(countless god). Have you ever watched the movie "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi"("Spirited Away" in English)? If you have watched it , you can understand that a lot of kami exist in Japan. In this animation,"Kami-chu", a lot of kami come on stage, and they are very cute and kind. So I like this animation. This animation locate Onomichi as stage, and landscape is drawn  elaborately.  When I watched this animation, I started to admire to go there. This is the biggest reason. But also I am looking forward to meet my friend. So this trip will ought to be very joyful trip.

I am university student, so I will be not able to enjoy summer vacation close future. So I think I make use of it! this joyful time is very short! So enjoy full of it!  Happy forme, there some friends enjoying this summer eith me!

Today, I'll talking about cat and litertaure.
I read Paul Galico's two books.He is American writer. He is very famous for his love to cat. The title of two books are Jennie” and “The Silent miaow”. These stories feature on cat. First, I'll talk about “Jennie”.This story's plain plot is that, Peter, this story's hero, is eight year old boy.
He like cat very much. So, oneday, he sees very cute little cat.
He feel like to touch this cat, and he foot into traffic road.
At the moment, a car crashes into him. He loses his consciousness.
When he come to consciousness, he notice he becomes white cat!
His cat life begins. This is plain introduction.
But there are a lot of danger. He verges on death.
Then, he is rescued by fellow cat, Jennie.He knows nothing about cat's way of the life, Because he was a human previously.
Jennie is kind enough to teach him the way how to survive in cat's world.
I think this is most interesting point in this story.
So, I'll introduce you one cat's way of the life through this story.It is grooming. Jennie says, “First rule is that, If you cause any kind of doubt,groom yourself.”
according to her explanation, every cats must not disturb grooming. And if you are involved in any situation and challenges, groom youself, and every thing is all right!
It is very interesting lesson! This is very interesting guess.
When you see cat grooming, this cat may have some problem.



By the way, have you ever thought cat understands about human?
I think people who have cats often this phrase.
it is not true that human have cat, but cats have human”. I had had cat. So I think so.
If you read “The Silent miaow, you should understand intelligence of cat.
Interestingly, this book applies the form that cat writer wrote for cat.
This book filled with tips for cat's life.
In first chapter, this book explain how to conquer human's house!
This book's atuthor, female cat says, “ you can change everything within one night. Human's house, even tradition no longer be their property, and then, human become living for cat.”
When I read this book, I found we, human is very silly creature, and cats are very clever.



I like cat, so I feel these two story very interesting. cat is very selfish and lazy, but very cute.
I had had a cat in my parents' home. she always neglect me except feeding time.
She always want feed very early morning, but I sleep yet. So she meiw with a loud voice in front of door to my room.
For her, it is merely a action to feed, but for me who silly creature, it is like a love from her.
I wake up willingly, and feed her.  But when I move to Tokyo, there is no person who awakes me.
So now, I'm very lazy oversleeping man.  I want to change this habit. but it is very difficult.
