My friend had come! My friend had came! She visited to London and Brighton from Ireland. We hadn't met for about 10 months so I was happy to meet her finally. Thankful for visiting :)

Recently, someone told me that my soul and mind seem to be died and I should recover with friends, family or someone. I was surprised but I agree with her and thought the place will be not here. I know that lots of people are misunderstanding about my character because of my English skills and attitudes. Also, my friend who met me in the uk said that I am completely different from before living in the uk. .

Okay, I understand everything why I was in deep thoughts. I'm thinking of next way right now.

I should have a confidence She told me that I've already got skills because she could understand my English. ”Don't worry too much and let you have a confident about your abilities.” she said.

When I talked with her, I cried but it was not sadly drops. Actually, I'd been losing a confidence of my belief, skills and mind. So I couldn't imagine about my future, my life and anything anymore. However I can choose my life at the moment. I do not necessary feel pressure from anyone.

I joined the Pride parade for the first time. In August, fortunately, I could join the LGBT festival at Brighton. Many LGBT people joined the festival who kissed and hugged each other on the street and everywhere. That was an extremely wonderful atmosphere. Actually, I've been interested in LGBT since I was a teenager. After that, I studied about sexual minority at a university. I'm not a sexual minority person but when I was secondary school student, some friends told me that they were the sexual minority and they had a lot of problem in Japan. Therefore, I've known that they sometimes don't feel free to love. I imagined what LGBT people felt to join the festival. I thought that some of LGBT usually could not express their emotions of love in the public place and in their life, could be. Therefore, They join the festival and finally, they can feel free to express love. I was so happy to see their expressions of love....

Why "Superdry" seems to feel odd and strange for Japanese. Why "Superdry" seems to feel odd and strange for Japanese. Today, I'm going to talk about "Superdry" because some people gave me comments about it. I hope you could understand Japanese feelings after reading this post. I think "Superdry" is a famous fashion brand for European and Japanese. Why is it famous for Japanese without real shops in Japan? The reason why they print Japanese words on their items, regardless of whatever it made in the U.K.! Moreover, they are almost strange Japanese words. According to Wikipedia, a brand designer inspired from Japan and came up with this brand ideas as travelled to Japan. Incidentally, "Super Dry" is one of the famous beer brand in Japan, therefore somepeople think that he would came up with naming idea when he drank. You would be surprised if you thought it made in Japan and it was your favourite brand. In the first place, this brand logo is so funny for Japanese because it's grammatically incorrect. Actually, many Japanese may feel odd when we just see their logo. 極度乾燥(しなさい) = Superdry(Must be) I think that Japanese may translate and recognise it meaning above. Actually, We usually don't use "(しなさい)", I've never seen it in my life. Especially, ( ) and しなさい are not combined to use generally. Also, we surely have a few questions why they use "imperative form" for fashion brand name and what it does mean "You must be super dry". I guessed it wants to tell us "You must wear Superdry" but they should have used more words and grammatically corrected words if it wanted to tell their message. Many Japanese may think this brand's logo means "You must be extremely dried situation". Therefore, we feel so strange just to see it. That why it's familiar with the brand in Japan. In addition, they also use lots of incorrect Japanese words on their items. If you are interested in this topic, please comment it! I'll describe and post a note next time :) I'm extremely happy to write this topic at last because it's so funny for me!!!

The booming of strange Japanese words I found that many strange Japanese words are printed on fashion items in England. Honestly, I couldn't stop laughing so I was grinning to myself.

Apparently, Japanese words are booming, especially for European fashion culture that likes tattoos and fashion items. Because when I walked on the street in the city centre, I've seen that many people were wearing items that were printed with Japanese words.

"Superdry" is the most famous fashion brand. It is made in the U.K. They make good quality items, but unfortunately they use lots of funny Japanese words for their fashion items. If I got a order that I have to wear it in Japan, I absolutely would feel embarrassed..

{ English Diary } Do you know 500 types of SUSHI? One day, I found the following book that title is "500 SUSHI". I was surprised because I've never seen 500 types of SUSHI. Do we have many types of sushi? I don't remember.. mmm... Also, I couldn't imagine. What was happen the SUSHI...? "Stained Glass Window Futomaki" is beautiful, but I've never seen, and I thought It isn't Japanese traditional sushi!!! Please, don't misunderstand about sushi for the book readers. I think sushi is more simply food.
