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)

MR 2 School Of Rock

I have watched this movie twice. I like this movie because this movie is about rock. First I want to introduce this movie’s main characters.
Dewey Finn: He loves rock music and formed his own band, but he is left out of his band by his bandmates. He lives with Ned Schneebly. The actor is Jack Black. Rosalie Mullins: She is a principal of Horace Green Elementary. This school is very educated school. She is very strict with children, but in fact she is funny woman. Ned Schneebly: He lives with his girl friend and Dewey. His job is teacher, but it’s not full time job. He is weak-minded.
Story: Dewey was left out his own band. He wanted to play in a band again, but he had no money. One day he was in Ned’s house and got a telephone call for Ned. 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. All the students were disappointed in him. But the next day all the students got on a school bus and picked Dewey up to play at the band battle. They did a great job at band battle, but they didn’t win. But there was an encore. They played again. The student’s parents and the principal watched their show and they changed their mind. After all Horace Green Elementary made an After class School of rock.
The lesson of school of rock is to cooperate and do something together and get happiness. First Dewey used students to make own band and do live show on band battle. But he learned the meaning of a true “Band” from the students.(370 words/ 10570 words)

MR 1 Shrek

I would like to introduce about Shrek. Shrek is computer animated American comedy movie.

Shrek is an ogre. He lives in a swamp alone. The people are afraid of him because of his power. They tried to attack him. But they fail. His appearance is not good, but he has a pure heart, a sense of humor and bravery. His voice is Mike Myers. His Japanese dubbing is Hamada.
Donkey is a talking donkey. That’s why he was sold by his owner. When he ran away from soldiers, he met Shrek and became his friend. He is very talkative and also has a good sense of humor. His voice is Eddie Murphy. His Japanese dubbing is ???
Princess Fiona was trapped in a castle with Dragon. and is very beautiful. But she has secret. When sun goes down, she becomes an ogre. She also can fight and is strong. Her voice is Cameron Diaz. Her Japanese dubbing is Norika Fujiwara.

Plot: Shrek lives alone because the people are afraid of his face, power and anger. Lord Farquaad must find a princess to become the king of his country. One day Lord Farquaad chose Shrek to save Princess Fiona. She is caught in Dragon’s castle. Shrek and Donkey went to the castle to save Princess Fiona. Princess Fiona was disappointed by her saviour. Because of the saviour was ogre. Shrek also didn’t feel good about Princess Fiona because she didn’t like him. But on the way to Lord Farquaad’s castle, Shrek’s gradually changed his mind. He liked Princess Fiona. But Lord Farquaad and Princess Fiona were to be married . At the wedding, Shrek came and told Fiona he loved her. Shrek and Princess Fiona kissed and her curse was broken. Both Shrek and Princess Fiona became happy.

This movie contains many fairy tale characters like Pinocchio, Robin Hood. I was interested in Shrek’s changing feelings. I think it because of Donkey. Donkey told Shrek many things. I watched this movie by DVD. There are many extra segments. My favorite is Shrek in the swamp karaoke dance party feature. Shrek’s character sang and danced with popular music.(365 words/10200 words)

All Time Low

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)
