However, I have ever ate only 3 tastes until now. Umaibo is very cheap, so I buy it when I have little money.

I like cheap sweet, but the cheap sweet shop decreased. The cheap sweet shop near by my house disappeared, too. I’m very sad. I hope to revive it.

My favorite writer is Kenji Miyazawa. His story has dream. My recommendation is “The night of the Galaxy railroad (Ginga tetsudou no yoru)”. I think the story is very sad, but I read it again. When I finish to read it, I feel strange impression. Now I remember, this story appeared victims of Titanic! It’s very old.

“The morning of bereavement(Eiketsu no asa)” made me an impression. This is the poetry when Kenji lost his young sister. I studied it at my high school class. It’s first poetry that made me cry. We can recall this poetry’s condition. He liked his sister very much. In addition, his expression is good. Please read it once.

Another my favorite writer is Soseki Natsume. His work “Dreams at Ten night(Yume Zyuya)” is very good and short. Therefore It’s easy to read. I watch the cinema that it became the movie, so I will write this blog next.

+。･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

Her songs melody is to my liking. In addition, I hail from the same town with her. I like to look at passing views over listen her music from the train window. Her songs go well with night view!

My favorite songs are “The message of lipstick (Ruzyu no dengon)”, “Choco language”, and “Come spring (Haru yo koi)” etc. “The message of lipstick” is the theme song of “Mazyo no Takkyubin” as you know. I like this movie, because it gives us dream! (I believed we can fly to use a broom if we practice hard when I was young*＊) I often watch this movie and listen this song. (However, this song is older than this movie!) I want to make my children listen it if I can have children.

Yumi Matsutoya made many wonderful songs. Therefore, I don’t understand why did she hardly appear Kohakuutagassen?

+。･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････+。

Today, I write about “My Halloween”.

I went to Zinbotyo, Korakuen, and Itigaya with my old friend after the double school. We always meet every 31. Yesterday was Halloween, so we played long time.

First, we went Zinbotyo. There is my school. We went a general store. It’s very cute stop! There sell handmade goods (ex, beads goods or cloth). We were puzzled about which to choose. We bought a ring and a brooch after one hour. The sum total of price were 2000 yen. I like those items*＊

After shopping, we came in a coffee shop. The shop name is “Sabouru”. I entered there for the first time. The coffee shop’s atmosphere is a little dark, and very nice! We ordered milk and a chocolate cake. There are very delicious. I especially recommend ice milk. We talked about one hour, and went out.
Next, we went Kyoritu women University, because my friend wanted to go to our school. She said Kyoritsu classroom’s impression is like a cram school.

Second, we went to the Korakuen, and rode the Ferris wheel. The night Ferris wheel is very beautiful! I think I never to be tired of it if I ride it again and again.

Finally, we went to Ichigaya, and came in Hosei University (There is my friend’s school). There has a very tall tower. We went up the top floor of there, so I could see Tokyo tower. I like night view, so I satisfied this Halloween.

+。 ･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

However, my only regret is I couldn’t eat 31 ice cream! In fact, our true purpose was this.

Today, I write about "My favorite comic".

My favorite comic is ＊Honey and clover＊. It's very cute story.
I read it this year for the first time. At first I didn't like it, because this story is a little bit dark. I became to be afraid of loving. I thought that I want to sell this comic. However I became to like this story! I don't know why I became to like it.

I like the character's fashion. It agree my favorite fashion. I became to wear a skirt many times since I read this comic. In addition, I was interested in handmade the influence of this comic. I will make accessory on my own. It made me not a little maiden.

Another reason why I was interested in this comic is "a clover". The clover of four leaves has an important meaning by this comic. I love the clover of four leaves. I looked for clovers of four leaves well since I was young. I was good at finding it and took some clovers at home. I know the joy that found the four leaves and the happiness. Therefore I come to miss very much when I read this comic, because the place where I had ever found the four leaves has already disappeared.

+。･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････+。

Now, I write about "My favorite town" today.

My most favorite town is Chofu now. Chofu is a wonderful town of about 20 minutes from Shinjuku in Keio Line. I loved Chofu since I was a high school student. I like atmospheres of Chofu very much.

The first favorite is Jindaiji in Chofu. I didn't look at the so wonderful shrine till I go to here. （A Shrine near by my house is very small.） A lot of branches line up in the site of the shrine. Soba, oyaki, and dango etc. My recommendation is "soba Bread". It is very delicious.

It is "Kitaro teahouse" the most interesting in those branch. I went to there with a friend last time. There is the teahouse which Kitaro who Shigeru Mizuki original motifs. There is right full of Kitaro. Not only mention a souvenir shop, but the decoration of the teahouse was strange. I ate Anmitsu there, and a rice cake had a shape of the Medamaoyazi. It was pretty and was weird.

A souvenir was only an interesting goods. A particularly interesting souvenir is "Hurikakebaba".（"sunakake" is not!）My friend bought it. I intend to hear an impression of the taste next.

④Enoshima

Hello, everyone. I was able to take a rest slowly ,because my school was this one week school festival and was absent*＊

･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････+。

Not a newspaper article, I intend to write it about Enoshima today.
On last Saturday, I went to Enoshima with a friend. Enoshima is the sightseeing spot which is famous so as to often appear to the television. It is natural, Enoshima is a wonderful and beautiful place.

We can consider many souvenir shops to enter Enoshima first. A lot of attractive things such as a steamed bun or a rice cracker sell there. I bought a lemon pop taste apricot stone (It’s very rare!) and shell-shaped ice cream. Those were very delicious.

We pass the shopping district, and be able to see a Shinto shrine when I climb the severe stairs. We arrive at the observatory when we walk more. There is charged, but is worth paying money. We can watch very beautiful scenery. The landmark of Yokohama can look from there, too.

We walked more. We went up the slope and went down the stairs and arrived at the rocky place. We can watch the sea close from there. There were a crab and a beautiful fish. I was tired of walking, but was able to watch a lot of very good things.

Enoshima was a very good place. I want to go once again.

③Death during 'training'

Hello, everyone! I’m happy recently, because Kinmokusei come out! My favorite flower is Kinmokusei, so I feel joy*＊

･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････+。

Today, I read the article “Death during 'training'”

*content*
The death of a young sumo wrestler is shaking Japan's sumo world, which is still reeling from the yokozuna Asashoryu scandal. Tokitaizan, a 17-year-old wrestler, died shortly after a practice session, apparently because of exhaustion and a beating he received from his stable mates. The sumo association needs to rethink its culture that tends to rely on violence to train young wrestlers, as well as revise its system of education. It is also reported that the stable master had hit him with a beer bottle and some senior disciple beat up him the previous day because he had tried to run away. A probe was not initiated until after the wrestler's family members demanded one. Although the police are seeking criminal charges, it is regrettable that they did not act immediately.

+。･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

*comment*
　 I feel that there are many scandals about the sumo recently. I do not intend to blame it about the scandal of Asashoryu, because he does not give another person a great trouble. A problem is a scandal of Tokitsukaze. I do not know the sumo industry, but think that I am hard to forgive such Lynch. In the first place I dislike Spartan discipline pro-physical education party, so their act is hard to understand me even more. Do all the sumo wrestlers get over the education and come to fame? I read words called "The collapse of the national sport" with a newspaper, but I am worried about correspondence of the sumo society in the future.

②Nova may close hundreds of schools

Hello, everyone! My tooth hurts today, because my tooth was shaved badly by a dentist the day before yesterday. I don’t like dentist!! However, I must go to there next week….

･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････+。

Today, I read the article “Nova may close hundreds of schools”.

*content*
Nova Corp., reeling from an advertising scandal, is planning to close at least 200 of its 900 or so schools by late September to turn around its struggling operations, sources said Sept. 20. The nation's largest language school chain is mainly targeting money-losing branches, but some of the 200 branches are being closed for failure to pay rent. The scandal prompted many students to end their enrollment, and contract cancellations will likely rise. At its peak in June, Nova had some 480,000 students. But Nova admitted in August that total enrollment will likely plunge 19.2 percent year on year by September.

+。･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

*comment*
I often heard about Nova’s scandals recently. If I remember right, Nova raised another scandal about exaggerated advertisement. I liked “Novausagi” and Nova’s commercial message, so I lament these scandals. A major company should not cause such a scandal. The teacher of my high school days is from Nova. Perhaps she will be disappointed. How will be about this company from now on? I want to watch that interesting commercial once again.

①Tokyo to Yangon: Hand over Nagai's camera

Hello, everyone. I’m unwilling today, because I must go to school to listen to the guidance about job hunting. However, I will hold on it!
Now, I will write content and sentiment about various news articles. I want to read articles as many as possible.

･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････+。

Today, I read the article “Tokyo to Yangon: Hand over Nagai’s camera”.

*content*
The government will urge Myanmar’s junta to return a video camera believed used by a slain Japanese journalist to film clashes between security forces and demonstrators in Yangon. Nagai’s camera was not among his belongings returned to Japanese authorities. However, Myanmar has claimed all of Nagai’s belongings have been returned. The Japanese Embassy in Yangon is looking into the situation, while Deputy Foreign Minister Mitoji Yabunaka, who is visiting Myanmar, was expected to “strongly request” the return of the camera during meetings with Myanmar officials. Then, Japan asked Myanmar’s deputy for a full-scale probe into Nagai’s slaying and punishment of those responsible for his death.

+。･･･････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････････

*comment*
I don’t know well about this accident in Myanmar, but I lament that Nagai’s death. It is reported that he went the risky position on purpose, because he wanted to film and report the real condition, Myanmar people feeling. He was a brave man. I yearned for journalist ; the job for a time. However, I became to be afraid of it, because the job accompanies danger. I think Japan have the right what take the video camera that Nagai used for dear his life. I hope that the camera return to Japan and Myanmar’s dispute was finished as soon as possible.
