Adventure

My sister and I went to NAKAZUBANSHOU-EN.
No special reason but we haven't been there before so went there.
 





It's old Japanese garden.
It was built in 1688 in Marygame-city.

It's not big and easily walking around.
There are many big and successful pain trees.


 I made this video...   I have vacant time. :-)

SUGOMORI

I often hear [巣ごもり (SUGOMORI)] in news show something.
Original meaning of the word is birds stay at their nest but now we use it as people stay indoors.
It means that it's bad economy so people don't want to use money.

The number of overseas travelers will decrease the year-end and New Year holidays.

Average annual salary and bonus have been decreasing so I agree people are SUGOMORI. haha.
But it's wonderful that family stay at home together and having nice time. :-)

KANJI of this year


There is something an annual event this season. (12th December)
It's KANJI of this year.
It's chosen by a vote.

←This year 's KANJI is [新]
[新]means new.


 The reason are:
･New administration in Japan.
･New president in America.
･New influenza virus.
･New world record:
in many swimming players by new type of swimming-wear.
Japanese base ball player Ichiro had set a record for hits in a season in major league.
･･･and the rest.
　　　

I haven't been login here over one year...:P
I'm too lazy to write English sentences. haha.

However I made a video about Marugame castle.
I put on it here.

I'm beginner making video so I'm not sure video is good or not. :-)

He is very diferent from other team's mascot characters.
They are cheerful and cute but he is very unique,funny, but sometimes cool and acrobatics.

I can't understand waht he do sometimes.

His a master was ビートたけし [Beat Takeshi].
You might know him as 北野 武 [Takeshi Kitano]. It's a film director name. (More information...Takeshi Kitano in Wikipedia)

Hideo Higashikokubaru dicided to stand for election and quit a comedian,went back to his hometown Miyazaki prefecture.
Firstly we didn't think he won... but he has been getting his hook in us.
And then he won the election.
Since then he became fanous more than he was a comedian. haha.

He has been very busy.
We watch him in TV nearly everyday.
Miyazaki prefecture has got many problem about financial affairs and something.
So far he can't settle about them because he works only a few months BUT he really good work for publicity Miyazaki.

Kawaii!!

I saw a TV programme about Japanse culture in other countries.
Among them,it's interesting that some French people use Japanese word 「Kawaii」.
[Kawaii] means pretty,cute,adorable.
However,Japanese young girls say [Kawaii] for a lot of things.
Perhaps,it imply many meaning as young girls...for exsmaple COOL,INTERSTING and so on.

There is new young slang, Kimo-Kawaii.
This word is unite [Kimoi] with [Kawaii].
Actually,Kimoi means CREEPY,DISGUSTFUL,UNPLEASANT...haha...Yes,Kimo-Kawaii means creepy BUT pretty.
It's such a strange word!
Please don't use this slang in formal situation! :P

It means chortle,laugh,smile...
When we write that in Japanse,（笑）.
[笑] this KANJI means chortle,laugh,smile and read [Warai].
And then,we write only the first letter [W].
I guess that firstly,people want to explain quickly in chat and game.
So,they had choice only one letter.
And then,we use it in blog and something NET place. (It's only casual situation.)

The team got the victory with senior high school baseball summer championship this year and he did particularly well!!

He is called as ハンカチ王子[Hankachi-Ouji].
It means a prince of handkerchif.
Why people called it?
Because,he wiped the perspiration off his face in games.
