long time ago

I finished test today.
I don't get new topics.

This spring is very fast to come and warm. It is a strange. I think most people feel this.

Akihabara is moving

This building is new. The building built last year for Computers.
The building built for computer technology. It named “UDX”. Our government wants Akihabara to be center of computer technology. However the program is not success now. Because the government thought many companies would want to move “UDX”.


Actually there were few companies which moved to UDX.

A university to relate to CG and computer technology founded newly did not function. I develop into the issue of suit without offering a class to a student. The university depended on a plan of the government. However, the problem is not taken up at all, and there are few people knowing it. I think that I seem to be a fool. I took tremendous money and failed. And the maintenance cost is paid by a tax because a tenant does not enter.

In addition, all the old row of houses along a city street has been got out of order. That kind of only value was lost really. Would not the people who planned it understand it to be to be able to plan mutual understanding even if the place where a computer and Internet were terrible did not move?

Christmas lights

I went to search a Christmas present on Sunday around Tokyo station. The tree is in the building called “maru-bill”. The area is called “maru-no-uti”. So we cut the name shorter than correct name.
Maru bill has many shop. But I could not find good present......

It is very good time to walk Tokyo, Ginza, Yurakutyou. I could spend fan time. Because these towns is very beautiful.

I will graduat from a university.

I graduate from a university soon. I subscribed for clothes to wear at the time of graduation ceremony. This is slightly different from a kimono with clothes called a petticoat. In the Meiji era, a woman comes to study for the first time, and a style when I go to a girls' school is these clothes. More hues were different in those days.

GO to IKEBUKURO

I went to ikebukuro. I went to Ikebukuro to watch a movie named the devil who wore Prada.
I like late show. It is not expensive. And late show is silent.


Ikebukuro has image of "not stylish town". The town is big but little country-like. So I like ikebukuro. I am not stylish. Ikebukuro is a dirty town.
But there is a big bookstore in Ikebukuro how many, and there is a department store, too, and there is a movie theater, too. In addition, there are a lot of game center and karaokes, and it is the town which is convenient to go out to play.
In Ikebukuro, there are person of a catch or a lot of tissue places, but I am persistent, and there is not it from Shibuya, and there are few people from Shinjuku, too. As for the human being walking Ikebukuro, citizens of Saitama exceed 60%; is a town of a country-like image what so that there is a joke. Therefore it is the town which can feel relieved for me.


I forget to take picture of Ikebukuro, so I will take picture next time.

Recently

Rcently we can hear Christamas song throughout Tokyo.
Everybody talk about Christamas Ev. Everybody don't want to spend only one.
I will spend only one, becouse my boyfriend will have his work even Christamas. It is troublesome job to find friend with me in Christamas.

"Be loved hair""Be loved fashion""It comes to be loved if you do this"...
A book and a magazine written in this way sell well.
I think everyone feel lonliness. I always feel so, but I don't dislike lonliness.
I dislike that I make oneself look different.

I went to Shibuya yesterday. There are many stylish people in Shibuya and I know it and am crowded and do it.
Though I intended to buy cosmetics and went to a counter, I was tense and was not able to buy it after all. Though I wanted to become beautiful, cosmetics were too expensive, and a sold person was fierce, and it became deplorable and I cried and returned.

Then I went to fashion store. I felt sadness when I tried on turtleneck. I found shabby of me. My waistline is not great and my face is not graet. I don't know the way to become stylish.

Fashion is difficult. Oh, it is so, and there is woeful in shibuya.

Yubari city is financial crisis

Yubari face a financial crisis. This city is thinly populated region and most aging society in Japan. There is in "hokkaidou". This city does't have industry. It was once coal town. Now special product is only melon. The region is closed half a year by snow.

I think it is very bad news. Terrible! Tokyo people is terrible. News said that "whose do have responsibility? Yubari's people should solve somehow own themselves. Don't want to help."

Tokyo system is kept by other countries, however nobody know that in Tokyo.
I came from Nagano, so I watched Tokyo's rubbish was throw into our rivers and mountains with legal and unlegal way. Though I love these mountains. Countries is stick with bad ones and dirty ones and dangerous ones by center city.

This is same thing in wolrd. Japan is rich, Japan crach foreign's forest.
I should't forget such things, but it is terrible news.
I think we should protect children and old people's lives.

Akihabara's history

Akihabara start as a food market.
The market moved to a neighboring town "okatimati" "ueno" "tukiji".
Then Akihabara came to sell parts such as radios after the second war.
Akihabara has tradition as a part shops.

By the flow, shops of household electrical appliance came to gather.
So Akihabara became most famous as a town of an electric appliance in Japan.
Akihabara's neighboring town is "music town". The town is "Kanda" "Otyanomizu".
Kanda has Greco guiters. The Greco guitar was made with Matsumoto of Nagano (hujigen-gakki). And the Greco guitar was sold by Kanda Shokai in 60's.
So, a CD of music came to be sold in Akihabara, too.
Akihabara changes afterwards as a town of a part shop of a PC. Next game, animation, Manga, etc.
But now, Akihabara is not Manga town. Akihabara became a town for a tourist.
I am otaku, so I have a lot on otaku.

Illustration's are still seen everywhere in Akihabara. There is a maid coffee shop, too, and there is it in a costume play year.
But, as for it, it has been stolen an article for tourists. A tourist came to come to watch a figure of otaku. And the otaku who was the undeeply which wanted to attract attention of a person came to play it.

Real costume player has one rule, they don't do at a public place. That kind of manner matched in old days.

Though it was happy that I was in Akihabara quietly as otaku.

Akihabara always changes. This town is special space.
I loved for otaku town. But it is lost.

I know it is nomal change. Akihabara is a town satisfying greed. Therefore a town changes if a kind of greed changes.

Therefore I was able to make myself at home there so far. Because it is matched me. I think that a different person should make himself/herself at home now.

about bon

We usually call obon. Sometimes Japanese language use “o” when word begins. O + a word.
“o-bon” is a festival. We dance in night. Drums are beated.
Some area has some story. Every story is different. There is a difference in an area.
Sure, there are the almost same story too.

I talk about one of stories. If you join ring of dance, you could see dead persons. They dance together ours. Dead persons want to see live person…family and lover. It is special nights.
Old days “o-bon” is romance chance. “o-bon”dance makes couples and hasbands and wivis and children.

We watch fireworks. We eat special stand. The stands are administered by “yakuza”. Some yakuza is very darkness and dengerous people. But this yakuza is old type yakuza. This yakuza is not so bad. Old sort yakuza has some severe rules. One of rule is “Don’t injure a citizen except a yakuza”.

Almost young Japanese don't know obon story. No no, It is not only young person's problem. Adult forget too. 40-60age people unlike and aren't intersted in old custom. Because they were so busy so far. They love only rat race. They don't know other world except rat race.
When they were young, They decided to throw old story away. They wanted to be only only winner. They wanted to be rich. They believed that if I could be able to become rich, I get happy life. (I know it is mistake. I know money is great, but there are someting what we can't buy.)
So Japanese can't talk about our world to next generations, Japanese culture and old story is lost.

Each area has each festival. Example for “Hirosima” has a famous Event. It s called “tourou-nagasi”. It is possible to join only people of an area. Because this ceremony is a personal things.
They go to liver and carry little ships. And they flow those ships on liver. We can see many ships. The ships are about 20-30 cm. The ships have little fire. The fire is for dead people. The fires cheer up a heart of a dead person. We believe that. It is very beautiful and mysterious view. When we watch that, we feel little sad, however I think such things is beautiful mind, isn’t you?
