Stanley made a plan that The Mask and Tina meet at the park. In the park, Stanley waited Tina. When Tina arrived at the park, she was surprised because there was Stanley not The Mask. They looked sun set together. Stanley said good-bye to Tina and hid bushes and transform The Mask. The Mask tried to dance with Tina again. But there were also the police men in the park. They noticed The Mask is Stanley and he robbed money from the bank. So they tried to catch The Mask. But The Mask moved really fast. So they couldn’t catch him.
Stanley took off The Mask. Suddenly he was called by someone. The person was Peggy. Peggy works writer in Newspaper Company. She watched the truth. She talked to Stanley in her company. But she was also hired by mafia’s boss, Dorian. Dorian took the mask and transformed The Mask. After that Dorian threw Stanley away in the road. The police found him and arrested.
The next day Tina came to jail to see Stanley. Now she knew who The Mask is. She talked Stanley and left the jail. After her left, Stanley heard her scream. When he looked her in the jail, Tina was escaping from Dorian. Stanley wanted to help her. So he decided to escape from jail. He called his smart dog Milo. Milo did good job. He took the key from the police man. Stanley opened door, threatened the another police man, got the car and went to night club to help Tina.
At the night club, Tina was tied by a pillar. And under her legs, there were some dynamites. Dorian was controlling the party. Stanley entered the party and hid. And he tried to help Tina. But he was founded by Dorian’s men. Dorian tried to kill Stanley. But Tina screamed and she said give her one last kiss. Dorian confused but he took off the mask and kissed her. Then Tina kicked the mask. The mask flew a while and Milo caught it. And he changed The Mask. But he saved his master, Stanley. Stanley took the mask and transform The Mask. He won Dorian and saved Tina.
Stanley got Tina’s love. In the bridge, Tina kissed Stanley and threw the mask away.
My opinion
Actually I have watched this move a long time ago. This time I watched this movie with English and English subtitle. Almost I could understand. The mask gives power that who really wants. When Stanley got the mask, he became who he wanted to be. But did he get everything he wants putting on mask? I don’t think so. He got Tina’s love without the mask. The mask helped Stanley to cheer up. In the last scene, he tried to help Tina without the mask. I thought the mask gave Stanley bravery.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Recently I'm crazy about emo music and some acoustic songs. This is The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's song called "Your Guardian Angel". I found this song from my myspace friend's page. I like The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's another song called "Face Down". But this song is also nice song. When I listened this song, I wanted to play this song. So I searched this song in Ultimate guitar. This is guitar tab site. There are so many tabs in this site. These tabs are provided by amateurs or pros or someone. Of course I could find "Your Guardian Angel" I picked high rate tab of that song. And I played this tab was hard for me. So I changed tab which is easier one. I could play this song using this tab.

My guitar skill is not enough though, I want to play some my favorite songs in front of audience. One of my plans in Spring break is playing guitar hard every day. Recently my brother, Hitoshi started to play bass guitar again. He plays some blink-182 songs. Blink-182 is my best favorite band, so some day I want to play blink songs with him.(195 words/ 14537 words)

Story Of The Year is coming to Fukuoka!!!! YEAH!!!

Do you know the band called Story Of The Year??? If you like The Used or some Emo bands, you will like them. Anyways they are coming to Fukuoka on March. Of course I will go their live show. In fact I have watched their live show in Minnesota. It was in warped tour. Each band could only play 30 minutes, but SOTY performed very aggressive and cool. I could see mosh-pit in their live show. I haven't seen before, so it was new experience. I sang along with many fans in warped tour. I have some favorite SOTY songs. They performed "Wake Up" and "Until The Day I Die" in warped tour. These were really good. But they didn't play Anthem Of Our Dying Day" and "Sidewalk". I think these were quiet songs, so it's not good for rock festival. That's why they didn't play. But this time is their live show. I mean its full length show. Perhaps they will play my favorite songs? I don't know... Anyways I really excited about going their live show again. I wanna rock!(182 words/14342 words)

MR 3 Romeo And Juliet

This movie is based on William Shakespeare’s same title tragedy.

Characters: Romeo Montague(Leonardo DiCaprio)
Juliet Capulet(Claire Danes)
Tybalt Capulet(John Leguizamo)
Mercutio(Harold Perrineau)
Friar Lawrence(Pete Postlethwaite)
Story: The Montagues and The Capulets hated each other. They fought about little things. Romeo was suffering for his love. One day he and his friends went to the Capulet’s party. Romeo saw a beautiful woman. Romeo immediately fell in love her. Even though she was the Capulet’s daughter, they loved each other. They decided to marry at Lawrence’s church. But Juliet’s father forced Juliet to marry another person. One day Mercutio fought with Tybalt. Unfortunately, Mercutio was stabbed by Tybolt and died. Romeo got angry about that and killed Tybolt with his gun. Because of killing Tybolt, Romeo was banished from Verona. Before Romeo left Verona, he met Juliet. Juliet didn’t want to marry another man. She asked Lawrence to save Romeo. Lawrence had one dangerous plan. Juliet drank medicine to make it seem that she were dead. The Caplets thought Juliet was dead and the funeral was held. One of Romeo’s friends knew this and went to Romeo’s house. Romeo also thought Juliet died. He drank poison and died. Juliet woke up and noticed Romeo and lying next to her and he was dying. She takes Romeo’s gun and kills herself.
It was a really sad movie. This movie’s world is modern. So character’s fashions are aloha shirts. They use guns instead of swords. The last scene was interesting. I have watched old version of Romeo and Juliet. It was a little different ending. In the new version, Romeo could see Juliet after he drank poison. I think one of lessons from this movie is hatred makes sorrow and never makes anything good.(290 words/ 10860 words)

He pretended to be Ned and went to Horace Green Elementary as a teacher. He had no idea how to teach. At first he only sat in front of the students. But one day he heard the students play. He decided to form a band using the students. He chose his band member from students and taught them rock history and how to play music instruments. All students believe in Dewey’s way. If they win at the band battle, they can get a nice grade. But Ned’s girl friend called the police and Dewey was exposed because he is not real teacher. He ran back to his home.

This is one of my favorite bands, All Time Low. What do you think about this band? I found this band from Warped Tour compilation album. I like this kind of pop sound. But I found out this kind of sound is liked by teenage girls. I think this band has huge girls fans. If I say "I like All Time Low" to my American friend, probably I am looked by gay! haha. I don't know why. Anyways this type of bands like We The Kings, Mayday Parade, Every Avenue, Forever The Sickest Kids are supported by huge girls fan. Because they are looks good? Or something... I don't really know. But I like their music. But I'm not GAY!!!!(120 words/9835 words)

Road To Zebrahead Live Show!

Yesterday I went to Fukuoka to see Zebrahead live show. I haven't been live show since September Weezer live show. So I was really excited that.

In the morning, I woke up at 8:00a.m. I slept a long time, beacause I went to bed at 11:30p.m. That day I had 2 classes. One class is Culural Anthropology class and the other is Outline of American literature class. The former class is 2nd period, so I could go to this class. But the latter class is 4th period. I decided to skip 4th period, because I didn't want to late Zebrahead live show.

Before I went to school, I did some assignment. Because the due is Wednesday. But I couldn't finish these assignments! haha. I went to 2nd period. After that I went to library to find newspaper article. I had another assignment. It's for reading class. We have to newspaper article and make quiz. Actually the day before, I was finding it for one hour, but I couldn't find it. But yesterday I could find quickly. It was lucky.

I left KGU and went to prefectural office bus stop. On the way, I bought 2 "Onigiri" and one coke. 12:01p.m, the bus came. This bus is called "Hinokunigou". I got in this bus. It takes about 2 hours to go to Fukuoka. So I was listening to Zebrahead's songs in the bus.

I arrived at Fukuoka. First I wanted to go shopping. Fukuoka is really cool city. There are many fascinating shops. I wanted to buy Christmas gift for my girl friend. I went to Tenjin Core. But I couldn't find anything good. Then I went to Loft. It was nice shop. There were many Christmas gifts. I bought some gifs and Christmas card. After that I went to Vox. This shop has many skater brand and punk rock brand stuffs. I have been there once, when I went to Weezer live show. This shop is definitely my favorite shop. There are FSAS, Hurley, Vans, DCMA, Lowlife and so on. I decided to buy Hurley's jacket. But it was expensive and I have no money. So I withdrew my saving from ATM. Then I bought it. It was hard to buy it, but it was Christmas present for me? haha.

After that I started to go to Drum Logos. It was a live house. Zebrahead live would be held in there. I have lost my way on February. So I thought it takes long time to go there. But it wasn't. I arrived at there really fast. It was still 4:20p.m. The live open at 6:00p.m and start at 7:00p.m. So I returned to downtown to kill time. I went to Mister Donut and killed times. And I went to Drum Logos again. It was still early, it was 5:20p.m. But there was a line for buy tour goods of Zebrahead. Of course I lined to buy tour goods. Every time I go to live show, I buy T-shirts, but it's expensive. It's 3500 yen, so this time I bought muffler towel. It was cool!

6:00p.m, door was opened. My ticket is early number. So I could get in soon. I put my bags in coin locker. And I waited live start. Actually yesterday, there was a opening act. This band is called Illscarlett. But we had to wait almost one hour. Because show starts at 7:00p.m.

Illscarlett live started. They were so powerful. Actually I have listened their music on Youtube. But I didn't think their songs are good. BUT yesterday I realized I was wrong. They were so cool! Guitarist and bassist were so big. And they were playing with dancing! That was amazing. Their music was mixture. And I found a interesting thing. The singer's face was similar to Daniel Radcliffe. haha.

Finally Zebrahead appeared!!! The first song was Hell Yeah! The audiences were crazy. I was close to stage, so I noticed the audiences were coming in my back. Immediately The mosh-pit was maded by the audiences. It was scary. They were attack to each other. So I escaped there and backed a little bit. Every song was really cool! I think there was no time to break. Because their songs are all high tempo! In fact I only know maybe 7 songs? But I really enjoyed. Ali's body was muscularly and cool! Matty has so nice voice. Ben could speak Japanese very well. I think he is the best speaker of them. Ed's powerful drum perform was so cool! BUT I was really impressed Greg's guitar play! His play was really cool. He could play tapping easily. He sometime appeared front of stage and played solo. I respect him! They played my favorite song "Into You" very fast, so first I didn't recognized that. haha. They played "Playmate of the Year" for the last song. They required us to say "FxxK" haha. It was so fun! Because all of us shouted "Fxxk" They responded encore. They finally played "Anthem" and "Mental Health". "Mental Health" is really funny for Japanese because of lyrics. It was so fun! Thank you Zebrahead and Illscarlete!

On the way to bus stop, I dropped in Yoshinoya. I haven't eaten Yoshinoya's gyudon. So It was the first time. It was cheap and delicious. I got in buss. I was tired, so I slept a little. And I arrived at prefectural office bus stop at 11:41p.m and went home. In my house, my mother still awake. I said "Hello~" and went to bath room. I took a bath. Then I still had home work, so I started to do this and finished 2:30a.m and went to bed~. Such a busy day~!(949 words/9715 words)

QP?

Soooooryyy!!! QP is McDonald's word. It means Quarter Pounder. This burger is new menu in other prefecture. Previously Kumamoto was the only one prefecture which sell Quarter Pounder burger. But it changed. Now every prefecture sells Quarter Pounder burger, I think. So we have to promote this burger. Yesterday I had to learn Quarter Pounder burger again. For example how to make Quarter Pounder?, what is important to make Quarter Pounder?. Then our boss said to me "Show me your operation of making Quarter Pounder". So I made it. After that I could eat it!!! Yeah! It was really delicious!

After job, my part-time job senpai and I decorated McDonald's for Christmas. This year went really fast. This year is almost over. Time flies!(124 words/8766 words)

Lucky!

I got a phone call yesterday, when Hitoshi and I was watching "HEROES". It was from my part-time job boss. Every time I get phone call from my part-time job, I think something bad, for example "Can you work longer? Or can you work Monday?" So I was worried, when I got phone call. Sometime I ignore phone call form my part-time job. haha. BUT this time, it wasn't! The boss said "Your working time changed. Which time do you want to work, form 4:00p.m or 6:00p.m?" When I heard it, I was happy. I was supposed to work from 3:30p.m. I chose form 6:00p.m. So I got 2 hours and half free time! YEAH! I can practice guitar, studying TOEIC or doing home work. Probably I have to do my assignments. All I want is TIME!(137 words/8642 words)

CRAZY THURSDAY!!!

My Thursday is busy. I have 5 classes and part-time job. I will tell you about one day of my Thursday. It's November 27th. Yeah! It's yesterday.

I woke up at 8:00a.m. It takes twenty minutes to go to my university. I had to eat breakfast quickly and leave. First period starts 9:00a.m. I left home at 8:40a.m maybe? I was late first period a little. First period is English literature history. This class is super boring. Always I think different things like... What I want to be?, How to play guitar well, What do I want to do after part-time job... But today was terrible. A teacher gave assignment. I already have some assignment. So it makes me sick! haha.

Second period is Reading class. We learn how to read English news paper. In the class, we have news test. We have to read one article and answer 5 questions. Today's test was the worst record. Yay! Recently I don't study English at all. I should study. haha.

Lunch time: Almost always I go to English Lounge with my lunch box. I want to save money, so I don't buy anything at lunch time. Recently English lounge changed. There are big television, dart, kitchen and computer. Some of my friends was playing game on computer. I watched that. It seemed like fun. So I tried. But it was so difficult for me. Because I'm not good at computer game. I don't have computer games in my house. I'm looks like "OTAKU" but I'm not REAL "OTAKU" haha.

Third period is listening class. Always we listen some tapes of conversation. We separate 12 groups and think about the answers together. Fortunately my group has some excellent students, so I am helped by them sometime. Today also there were some tough questions. I couldn't find answer. But the other student solved the question. Good job!

Forth period is Spanish class. In this class there are only four students. So I can ask questions easily. It's one of good points. This class focuses on conversation. We make some sentences and practice. Oh! This class's teacher is very funny. Always he talkes 20 minutes about everything himself, his thought.

Fifth period is Education psychology class. I failed last semester, so I take this class again. It's required subject to be teacher. Today's class was interesting. The teacher explained some interesting experiments. Pavlov's dog is such a interesting experiment. Today's theme is "learning". Usually this class is boring, but today I enjoyed it.

After fifth period, it's already 5:50p.m. I had to go home quickly. Unfortunately it was raining and I had no umbrella. I got wet. As soon as I backed home, I changed part-time job clothe and ate dinner. I left home at 6:45p.m. It was still raining. I was barely late part-time job. I arrived at McDonalds at 6:59p.m. My work starts 7:00p.m. Today was boring, not busy. I wanted to go home early. But I had to wait until restaurant close. 10:30p.m, our McDonalds closes. After that always we have to clean everything in McDonald’s machines, tables and floor. It takes long time. We finished 11:30p.m.

I went home. The rain is stopped. After backed home, I did 30 push-up and 30 sit-ups. I want to be thin. Recently I gained weight and my stomach is terrible. Then I took a bath. Winter bath is really comfortable. It makes me hot and relaxes. I had to watch Toy Story to write a movie review. I borrowed it rental video store last week, so I had to return it this Friday. I had no choice to watch it on Thursday. I watched it in English and English subtitle. I have watched this movie many times, so it's easy to understand even if I didn't understand English. After I watched this movie, I saw my clock. It's already 2:30a.m. I went to bed quickly.(652 words/8505 words)
