❤ LOVE ❤

Today, I tell you about my favorite music and singer. My favorite singer is 'Mr.Children'. Do you know them? They are very famous group in Japan. So, I think that they have wide appeal.
First, I tell you about them. They formed 'Mr.Children' on January in 1989. On May 10th in 1992, they debuted through released minialbum 'everything'. In August of the same year, they released 1st single 'kimigaitanatu'. So, they have released many CD or album until now. You have been to sure to listen their songs.
Next, I recommend you some their songs. For example, 'kimigasuki', 'Any', 'HERO', 'OVER' and so on. Every song is wonderful!! But, of all others I like 'Dakishimetai' best of all their songs. Because, the words ring in my heart. This song was released on December first in 1992. This song is collected album 'KIND OF LOVE' or 'Mr.Children 1992-1995' too. Please listen it.
Finally, I introduce their activity from now on. They started concert from August 6th. Regrettably, I can't go it. Someday, I want to go to their concert. And, they will appear on television program. Please watch them if you are interested in their song.
I'm a fan of them forever!!!

Book review 1-12: NEW YORK

It is one of my dream to go New York. I haven't been to US.
This book told me about New York. So, I could understand about it.
For example, I was taught about food, sport, museum, parade and so on. I interested in New York and US more than until now. I want to go New York someday.

Joyful☆

Today, I played basketball and volleyball with my circle of friends. I like playing basketball very much.
We played three games. It was very hot in the gym. But, we could enjoy.
After the game, I went to Joyful with my friends. I ate strawberry yogurt parfait. My friends ate powdered green tea parfait, a shaved ice with strawberry syrup on the top or set lunch. We shared each other. And, we drink some juice.
Today, I very happy.

busy!!

Yesterday, I was very busy. Because I worked part-time. I register in temporary employment agency. So, I have to work various place. Yesterday, first of all I worked Chinese restaurant in hotel. So, it finished, I had to move Japanese restaurant. I worked there for three hours. I was very tired. I have to work tomorrow. I think that do my best!!

Restaurant ☆


I will talk you restaurant that I want to go. I looked for it by a monthly magazine.

First, I looked for Japanese restaurant. I want to go 'motuya'. Because, I like 'motu nabe'. In addition, I hear magazine said that this restaurant renew today.

Second, I looked 'dining bar' or 'restaurant bar'. 'Jungle Hearts' in the magazine caught my eye. It is 'simotori'. Dish looks very delicious.

And, I want to eat the world's dish. So, I found 'A-un' and ' kobento garden'. We can eat American food or Asian food. It is cheap. But it looks very delicious.

Lastly, I introduce you to Italian and French restaurant. This restaurant's name is 'BONNER'S CAFE'. I have been to there. I ate an omelet containing fried rice. It was delicious. I want to eat another menu. This cafe is in 'simotori'. Please try to go to this cafe.

Many restaurant that I have not been are in Kumamoto city. I want to go to restaurant or bar with my friends if I have a chance. So, I want to find my favorite place.
