    Setsubun is a Japanese custom.

    Today (February 3rd) is Setsubun. It's a Japanese custom to bring luck.
    Many Japanese are going to perform a special ritual called Mamemaki.
    Mamemaki involves throwing soy beans in their rooms and at the entrance while saying "oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi."
    This phrase means "evil out, luck in." 
    After they have thrown the beans, they eat the beans, one for each year of a person's life.
    For example, a 20 year old man would eat 20 beans.

    Positive thinking.

    Refrigerator is empty in my new room. And I am sick and alone. How do I think about this situation as a positive surrounding? I have one idea. These past three days, I ate much more food than dairy products. So today is my fasting day to rest my stomach. Thanks to my fever, I am able to write this note on the bed, afterward participate in verbling, find a new job by April. By the way, a certain famous male singer in Japan with a high-pitched voice said "When I catch a cold, I kept eating lots of medicine. And then suddenly, I found that my voice was getting higher and higher." Do you believe this story?

    Day off

    Today was my day off. I went to a spa at noon. After that, I went to a snow festival with my friend. Have you ever been to a festival like that? I recommend you to go there in the evening. You can enjoy beautiful colored snow with light. To tell the truth, I don't like winter and freezing air but I've taken many pictures of snow in this season somehow. These is a lot of snow in my town so it is difficult to ignore it... The reason is simple: snow is beautiful. At last we went to dinner and had a fantastic meal of sushi. Sushi is my favorite type of food. I loved it! Gochisosama desita.
    I had a very hard time two days ago and it seemed to last for a long time. Today, I slept as if I were dead, saw beautiful things, had great meal, and faced the present reality. I feel alive now.
    Good night everyone.

     

    I know the Japanese language has the "o" sound in front of certain things, like "おすし、おさけ." But this "o" sound never happens in front of English words =] This was a good notebook entry. 英語の勉強頑張ってね

    I am listening to japanese songs in a Yakiniku restaurant. 

     

    Almost is japanese idle units' one. 御免なさい、でもわかりませんこの文です

     

    The girl's voice is cute but a little childish.

     

    Now it has changed. It is a ballad which is sung by a man. It has a beautiful melody.

     

    英語の勉強頑張ってね
