LEGO WARS?!

Lego wars

From Japan Today

“Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith” is opening to the public at any minute in Japan and, these days, I hear some people talk about it. Because it’s the last of a series, funs has placed more expectations on it.
Anyway, what I’d like to talk about is not about the movie but the video game! Look at the picture above!! It’s so funny isn’t it?? I’ve never seen such an interesting video game. The most attracted point is all character is LEGOs’ doll. The story is also extensive in Lego world. I’d like to try it. It seems a little bit easier, doesn’t it?? In fact, only can the people who have PS2 or GBA do the game, so I can’t. If you buy it, please tell me the impression.

Ummm...

The New York Times: Travel

I can’t believe it!! I found the article about Japanese Made café from NYT. For years, Japanese readers of manga, and watchers of anime, or adult cartoons, have told that their No. 1 fantasy figure was the French maid. In this article the new style café was take as if it is a cool, new trend of Japan. However Japanese girl and women (I don’t know how boys thought) don’t have good images when they listen the word, “Made”. So please don’t get the wrong idea about this.

Jenkins fianlly meet his mother

From the article G.I. Deserter to Visit U.S. - New York Times

As the article says, Jenkins and his family could finally meet his mother, 91 years old, in the U.S. For Japanese it reflected impressed reunion, but for American, it wasn’t seemed so. “We don’t have to allow such an American soldier who deserted his Army and fled to North Korea” This is the way they think. This news was played up to some both local and big newspapers and they wrote the article with hard-eyed. In evidencethis article’s title has a word, Deserter, for him. In Japan, Media never use such word for him on headline.
I think these differences arouse because we have no idea for the army and they have. I know not counted sin against his escape exerts a bad influence on armies in Iraq, but I can’t really understand why they are so strict. I thought it’s a kind of militarism.

Be cool !!

Cool-Biz fashion (right:prime minister of Japan)

From ASAHI.com


When I talked with one American woman, she said, “I was really surprised that Japanese men wore jackets and ties on such a humid hot summer. Now I get used to see the situation, but when I saw it first, I can’t believe it!!” For me, growing up in Japan, the sites aren’t seemed any strangeness.
“Cool-Biz” named by the Environment Ministry is the new man fashion with no jacket or no ties (or none of them). As she said, Japanese office men really wear them in hot summer. According this article, Japanese government is asking the new style to save our earth.
Comparing with putting on them or not, the difference of skin temperatures are distinguished. So if men adopt Cool-Biz more, the time of using an air-conditioner would be reduced and it also helps to reduce the amount of CO2.
This new announcement seems a little bit oddly and exactly it does for non-Japanese. But it will make Japanese middle aged men who don’t care about their appearance more pay attention to what they wear, too.　Environmentally and economically (except ties industry), their effects will works good.

Movieing with BABY

From the article of Japan Today

One of the major Cineplex complexes, TOHO Cinemas at Roppongi Hills, started new useful service in October 2003. The service, the Mama’s Club Theater, is for mothers with their babies and little children. Every Thursday, using morning time when it isn’t so clouded, the theater makes the second screen friendly for them. I’ll show you some of the example; the light of the theatre isn’t darker so that mothers can go out if something happens for children, the air conditioner is checked more frequently than usual and the sounds is set lower not to feel uncomfortable for children. To do that, Mother could come to be enjoying the latest movies. Moreover, these services make mothers come because there are people having same circumstances. So if children are crying dulling being screened, no one care about it.
I think these good system must be introduced. Because of DVD’ diffusion, most theaters are now trouble with decline of the viewer. Japan is aged society so it might not spread. However, using the Mama’s Club and watching a movie might be a new style to communicate with other mothers on such a rainy day.

☆★Thanks again★☆

you can see it??

I got a birthday present from my three friends. It was a gorgeous pendant with chain. I loved it will outstand when I put it with simple clothes.

Dear Hiroko, Marie, Yuri

Thank you for your present and letters (and Purikura). I’m surprised that you went to Shinjyuku to buy my birthday present despite of the busy days. This necklace will take an active part of my summer clothes.
