Hi everyone! Happy New Year!! I had a good time with my friends in my hometown. Also, I went to Hokkaido with my family to meet my grandparents. I met them after a long time, so I was very glad to see them. It snowed a lot in Hokkaido and it was very cold. In any case, I enjoyed myself with my family! I’ll do my best this year, too!

My winter vacation has started since today. During this vacation, I want to hangout with my friends more than last year. Last year, I can’t make university friends because of online classes. I could learned to get along with those who are in my university but we couldn’t meet face-to-face. However, many universities started face-to-face classes in this year, so thanks to this, we could get along with my friends more than online classes. In any case, I want to hangout a lot. I’m going to be with my friends in my home town when the new year comes. Although I’m looking forward to seeing them but I want to see my university friends not only friends in my hometown. Owing to face-to-face classes, I can make a lot of friends through an year. I was very glad to make friends. However, university is really big, so we may not be able to see. Therefore, I want to play with my university friends much while we have time during winter and spring vacations. Anyway, I’d like to spend a great time either alone or with my friends. However, I must study more during this vacation. I’ve be already second-year university student. I need to think about my future soon. I want to inquire great English skill through university life, so I should study. In my university, my friends are studying a lot. I’ll study more in oder not to lose them.

My favorite character is “Hattori-kun”. He is a main character of Japanese famous animation, “Ninja Hattori-kun”. I have two reasons why I like him. First, Hattori-kun is very kind person. He helps many people around him ,even though it is trivial. Also, I is a hero of justice, so he defeats many enemies. The appearance is really cool! Second, he is sometimes very cute. He sometimes make a mistake, then he is panic. This appearance is very adorable. In these ways, he is very kind and cool but cute, therefore I like this character. I watched “Ninja Hattori-kun” for the first time when I was a second-year high school student. I have often watched the movies, dramas and TV animation on Amazon prime video. My mother likes Japanese animation, so she recommend that I watch “Ninja Hattori-kun”. Actually, I thought this animation isn’t so interesting. However, it was really interesting and wonderful animation, beyond my imagination. While I was a second-year high school student, I always watched it when I had free time. Although I couldn’t watch it during third-year high school student, I can watch it today because I’m a university student. I’m very glad to come across this animation and I appreciate my mother to recommend. Now my instagram profile picture is Hattori-kun. lol I’ll watch this animation from today on, too! Also, I want everyone to watch “Ninja Hattori-kun” :)

My favorite hobby is music. I like to listen to music and play the guitar. So, I’d like to talk about these topics today. First, I’ll talk about the hobby to listen to music. I often listen to music to relax and make me happy, but actually, I think listening to music is exciting, I don’t know I’m relaxing truly when I’m listening to music. lol In any case, I enjoy listening to music. In particular, my favorite musician is sacanaction which is famous rock band in Japan. Their songs are really exciting and their concert is very fantastic. I went their concert when I was a high school student. I was moved to watch their performance. Anyway, I want everyone to listen to their songs. Second, I’m gonna talk about the hobby to play the guitar. I’ve played it since I was high school student. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in the guitar. However, I like singing, so musical teacher in my high school recommended that I play the guitar, and he lend me his guitar. I often practiced playing the guitar after school. It was too difficult for me to play it but I kept practicing. Eventually, I could play the guitar in front of my classmates and teacher. It was really precious experience for me. I’m playing the guitar in my university musical club today and I’m enjoying playing. I highly appreciate my musical teacher. In these ways, music is essential hobby for me. I love music.

Hello everyone. Yesterday, I checked the ranking of Spotify that whose songs I listened the best. I listened to THE CHARM PARK’s songs the best. Maybe, there aren’t many people who have listened to his songs. However, he makes wonderful songs, so I want everyone to listen to his songs. The time when I listened his song for the first time was last year. I often listen to radio. When I was listening to the radio, his song was played. The song was “Still in Love”. I was really impressed and I investigated THE CHARM PARK soon. He is Korean American and he is acting in Japan. He can speak Japanese, English ,and moreover he is good at singing and playing the guitar. The experience I listened to his songs for the first time was shocking for me, so I’m introducing THE CHARM PARK to many friends. Also, I want to go to his concert someday. His performance at the concert is very fantastic, therefore I think I should watch his guitar performance once in my life. lol Anyway I’m very glad to come across THE CHARM PARK. I want to listen to his songs from now on, too! Also I want more people to recognize him.

My last trip is Hokkaido. I went there alone in summer vacation when I was a second-year high school student and I went there to see my grandparents. They live in Hokkaido, so I often go there in the vacation. My last trip was a really good time for me. I could hangout with my friend who lives in Sapporo and I could eat a lot of dishes in Hokkaido. Also, I could talk with my grandparents too much. I was very glad to do these things. And moreover, it was my first trip by myself. I was nervous but it was a good experience for me. However, my last trip is the time when I was a high school student. These years, I can’t go anywhere for travel due to COVID. I’m a second-year university student, therefore I want to go somewhere gradually. Now I’m planning to go to Taiwan with my university friend. I’ve never been to foreign countries, so I’m looking forward to go there. In Taiwan, I want to communicate with people there and visit the Night Market, there are many delicious dishes in Night Market. I want to enjoy my myself well. In any case, I wish COVID will be over soon!

Yesterday, I went to Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture for university training. Kamakura is one of the most famous and popular cities in Japan. Before the day, I studied Kamakura a lot. Actually, I was not familiar with Kamakura very much, so it was really precious experience to learn it. I studied about the scenery in Kamakura. Kamakura combines traditional architecture and modern architecture, so it tends to be a problem to be complex. I was interested in this problem, therefore I studied this topic. Also, Kamakura is protecting the nature. Decades ago, destruction of the nature for urban development was a quite serious issue in Kamakura. People in Kamakura were resisting this project. It was first national trust in Japan and called “Oyatsu soudou(御谷騒動)”. I focused on the interaction between traditional and modern, and the nature in Kamakura yesterday. And moreover, I took about one hundred pictures, so I’ll look into Kamakura from now on. Anyway, I had a good time with my friends. However, I want to go there for sightseeing in the next time! lol

I finished reading the book “Longing” the other day. This book is written by Mieko Kawakami who is a famous author in Japan. By the way, my boom is to read books these days. Actually, I didn’t like reading because I wasn’t good at concentrating on something. Therefore, I always listened to music when I commute to university by train. However, my friend recommend me to read the book “The woman in the Purple Skirt”, written by Natsuko Imamura. Her book was really easy to read, so I complete reading it soon! Thanks to my friend and her book, I like reading a little but I want to like reading very much, so I’ll try to keep doing it. Now I’m reading “The Door into Summer”, written by Robert A. Heinlein and translated by Masami Fukushima. Actually, British and American literature is very difficult to read. Before, I’ve read “Hamlet” but I couldn’t understand the detail after all. However, I think “The Door into Summer” is relatively easy to read, so I’ll do my best to complete. Thank you for reading my passage.

Hello, everyone. Today’s weather is great in Tokyo. I want to go somewhere but I have a part-time job today. By the way, what hobby do you have? My hobby is to take pictures. I think everyone around the world should visit many places to take pictures if everyone has free time! lol I have two reasons why I like to take pictures. First, because my mother liked to take them. When I was a junior high school student, she take me to many places to photo. Actually, I wasn’t interested in doing it. However, my parents gave me a camera for my sixteenth birthday. I was very glad to get it, so I often took many pictures on Sundays. Second, because my high school friends loved to photo. When I was a high school student, I belonged to photography club in my high school. I made many friends in it. They are really good at taking pictures, therefore they taught me how to take them better. Thanks to them, I learned to take good pictures. In this way, now I have a great hobby of taking pictures. I really appreciate my mother and my friends.
