Happy New Year. On New Year’s Day, I went to a shrine with my family in the morning and prayed for a good year. Waking up early was a little hard, but the cold air felt fresh and clean. It made me feel that a new year had really started. There were many people at the shrine, and everyone looked happy and calm. The lively mood was very New Year-like and left a strong impression on me. After praying, I drank amazake. It was warm and sweet, and it made my cold body feel relaxed and comfortable.
After that, I went to my grandmother’s house and spent time with my relatives. Many family members gathered there, and the house felt very warm and cheerful. There was a lot of food, such as sushi and sukiyaki, on the table. Everything looked delicious, and it was hard to choose what to eat first. I enjoyed every dish, and I ate more than usual. While eating, we talked about recent events, school life, and old memories from the past. We laughed a lot, and time passed very quickly.
Some relatives were people I do not see very often, so I was happy to talk with them and hear how they are doing. Spending time together with my family and laughing was very fun and meaningful. I felt once again that New Year is a special time. I was able to start the new year in a positive way, and it became a New Year I will remember for a long time.

Today in class, we talked about the topic “Can Japanese comedy become part of the tourism industry?” I thought that Japanese comedy can become a tourism resource if people make enough effort. There are some problems with Japanese comedy. For example, many jokes use puns and wordplay, so they are hard for foreign people to understand if they do not know Japanese well. Also, some comedy is based on Japanese news, history, or traditions, so people from other countries may not understand why it is funny. However, I think there are also positive points. Not all Japanese comedy depends on language. Physical comedy, such as funny movements, facial expressions, and actions, can be understood by people from different cultures. This kind of comedy is easier for foreign tourists to enjoy. In addition, if shows use English subtitles or give simple explanations before the performance, foreign audiences can understand the story better. Learning a little about Japanese culture through comedy can also be a fun experience for tourists. Because of these reasons, I think Japanese comedy has the potential to attract foreign visitors. If comedians and theaters think more about foreign audiences and use simple ideas to help them understand, Japanese comedy can become one reason for people to visit Japan.

Today was a very exhausting day because I had two tests back-to-back. One of them was a Korean test, and although I studied very hard for it, things didn’t go the way I expected. When I first looked at the test paper filled with Korean sentences, my mind suddenly went completely blank. I tried to remember the grammar and vocabulary I had reviewed, but the stress made it difficult to think clearly, and I couldn’t answer all the questions. It was really frustrating, and I felt disappointed in myself because I wanted to show the results of my effort. Still, I know that language learning is a long process, and experiencing these moments is part of getting better.
Tomorrow, I have an important presentation at university. Last week, my presentation went a little too long, so I want to reflect on that and make sure I improve this time. Tonight, I’m planning to review my slides, organize my main points more clearly, and practice speaking so that I can keep the presentation within the time limit. I want to explain my research and the issues I discovered in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. I also hope that I can speak with more confidence and stay calm. Although today was difficult, I want to use this experience as motivation to do my best tomorrow and give effective presentation!!

Hello.
I left school early the day before yesterday because I was sick. And the next day, I was absent from school, and it was my first time taking a break since I became a university student, so I felt guilty and regretful. But my mom said that I looked very busy and tired recently, so getting some rest would be good for me, and that I hadn’t caught a cold. When I heard this, I felt that it was okay to rest once in a while, and at the same time, I was happy that my mother told me this. From now on, I want to take a rest some times and do my best. Also, I had another small trouble the other day.
I was so sleepy on the train that I missed my stop and went past my station. I noticed it only when the announcement said it is the last train. I was in a hurry and felt a little embarrassed, but looking back, it was almost funny. This made me realize again how exhausted I had been without noticing it. Since then, I have been trying to go to bed earlier and take better care of my health.

Today, a person who teaches acting to actors as a special instructor for class came to me. He said that unlike the general image of Hori Productions actors, there are many people who are more interested in various things than expected and want to take any drama content for now. I was a little surprised because I thought actors were choosing to play the role carefully. At first, I thought this lecture was about acting like someone, but in fact, it was a class where I learned how to think differently and perceive differently for each member through group work and simple games. In order to understand the other person in the process, I was able to learn that there was no need to over-impress or reversely obscure my values on the premise of the existence of various ways of thinking. I think there will be more opportunities to engage with people from different backgrounds and values in the future, but I wanted to be a person who could accept their ideas without denying what I learned today and to keep broadening my perspective so that I can communicate with others more openly. I realized that this kind of flexible mindset will also help me grow, both in daily interactions and in any creative work I may face.

Hello.
Recently, it has become very cold. I can live more comfortably than in summer, but trains are not comfortable. In winter, trains use heaters, so when I wear a thick coat or when the train is crowded, I feel very hot. Sometimes I wish they would turn off the heating.
Yesterday, the plan for my class reunion was decided. The Coming-of-Age ceremony is soon, so I feel it is real, and I am excited to see how my classmates from junior high school have grown!! I often remember old school days when I see a friend’s from junior high school and it makes me nostagic. I want to control my diet before the ceremony, but I love sweets and eating, so it is difficult. However I will try hard so that I can see some change in my appearance and feel more confident. I hope the day will be fun and full of good memories.

I had a listening test today. I listened to the audio many times, so I could write everything down, but I’m not sure if my answers are correct. Since I started taking the listening class this semester, I feel my listening skills have improved a lot. I can understand English conversations more easily than before. In December, I will take the TOEIC test, so I want to study hard and improve my English skills even more. I especially want to focus on listening and reading practice to get a higher score. Also, I want to take good care of my health. Recently, the flu has been spreading, so I always wash my hands, gargle, and wear a mask when I go out. I try to eat healthy food and drink a lot of water every day. If I get sick, I can’t study or concentrate well, so I make sure to get enough sleep at night. I hope to stay healthy and keep studying hard. My goal is to do my best in both English and health, and get a good score on the TOEIC in December!!

Hello. I started a new part-time job recently and I go to training. I made new friends, and I am happy about that. But now I work on holidays and days off from school, so my week is very busy. I don’t exercise much, so walking a lot may be good for my health. I like eating and talking with customers, so I have done many part-time jobs, all in the food service. Sometimes I feel tired, but I enjoy my job. During training, we learn how to prepare food and provide customer service. In customer service practice, we're taught not only how to use the register, but also to avoid using incorrect Japanese and to confirm orders, ensuring we can provide thorough hospitality to customers. It's a bit stricter than my previous part-time jobs, but I feel it will benefit me in the future. I'm not just pouring my enthusiasm into my part-time job; I'm also working hard to study for the TOEIC and other tests coming up this winter.

Hello. Today is the day I've been waiting for a Halloween party with my high school friends! After school, we're meeting up in Shibuya to grab some food and hit up karaoke. I'm so excited! Today I have classes from the first period to the fourth period, but I have something to look forward to, so I think I can push through. Speaking of Halloween, the last time I went to Shibuya, there was a person who was cosplaying “IT”. It seems really and very scary also everyone surprised it. Halloween is prohibited in Shibuya this year, but some people were cosplaying. I heard that Halloween is a big event abroad and I really want to go see it because I like horror movie!! Japan is not huge scale of Halloween and Christmas but I think family assemble scene is big event like New Year and “Shitigosan”. I like the most event is New Year. Which event do you like best?

Hello. This week will be very busy for me because I will should done English homework and application documents for the Seminar also this weekend, I'm going to Kamakura for a school assignment and to Shinagawa for my part-time job orientation. I don't dislike it because I chose it myself, but not getting enough sleep seems like it will be a huge burden for me. I hope I can get good quality sleep even if it is short. I recently deleted TikTok from my phone. It is fun and easy to enjoy with short videos, but I think it is harmful because it is addictive and loss my time. I stopped watching with TikTok videos after deleting the app, but I’ve been watching more videos on Instagram Reels. This is extremely harmful, but I can’t delete Instagram so I hope short videos disappear. What do you think about TikTok or short videos?
