Feel Good Drag Long time no see, guys! My summer vacation is over. Fire works festival, EMINEM's Japan tour, SUMMER SONIC (big music festival), my friend's wedding... I could enjoy many events. At SUMMER SONIC, I watched ONE OK ROCK, Lostprophets, Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, and more. Lostprophets was the best act for me. These days I mostly listen to Christian music. For example, Thousand Foot Krutch, Skillet, 38th Parallel, Anberlin... Anberlin's 'Feel Good Drag' is awesome! I'm a Christian, and sometimes being a Christian is so hard in Japan. But Christian music always cheers me up. Music is my motive power. I have a twitter account introducing cool Christian music. If you're interested in it, please check it out. Account name is @C_music_bot. What Christian artist do you recommend? In my graduate school, the fall semester has started. I'm studying American history in some classes. They show me how little I know of it. My thesis is John Irving's works, and I'm making study of a relationship between Irving's works and Charles Dickens' works. I've made intensive reading of 'The Cider House Rules' by Irving. In this semester, I'll focus on 'The Hotel New Hampshire'. I like his novels so much. I'm happy that I can do research into my favorite thing. Lastly I post a photo of the station in my hometown. I love Takamatsu, the land of Udon.

Take It Away I listen to The Used lately! I'm in the season of term papers:( I can't wait for summer vacation. It'll be amazing. My birthday, live concert of EMINEM, SUMMER SONIC (Japanese big music festival!), homecoming... and so on. Do you guys have any plan for this summer? I have to mention Skype. Some guys asked me my Skype name. I'm sorry I don't have an account. And I won't get it cuz I'm not good at talking and I'm lil busy. In Japan, most people use Skype only to communicate with close friends. Maybe we Japanese are not familiar with it. At last, I post a photo of my cats:) I love cats sooooo much! There are 6 cats in my parent's house. I think dog lovers are the majority in Japan... Too bad.

Do You Want To 'Do You Want To' is Franz Ferdinand's song! So cool. Thank you guys for your messages! I've read all message. I'm sorry that it has taken so long to reply. If you have any questions or something, you can communicate with me via facebook. Please send me a message. As you know, I'm a graduate school student. I lead a busy life. Maybe I will more busy because July is the end of term. I gotta struggle against the deadline of term papers... It's so fearful!:( I take an oral presentation class. At first my presentation was really really terrible. I've made a presentation five times. In the last class, my professor told me that my presentation was improving. I was glad to hear that. I have to make one more presentation and it's the last one. I'll try to do my best! But honestly speaking, I still don't like to speak in public.
