Blog#2:Chinese political scandal

 Hello, I'm Chiyui Hagiwara.

 Speaking of the latest Chinese news, The Chongqing scandal occurs. The Chongqing scandal is an incident in which the Chongqing's mayor Bo Xilai was dismissed. He was expected to became a central member. (It is "Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China". Only nine members control China!) However, this possibility disappeared by this scandal.
 The cause of scandal is in his wife. The suspicion of homicide is applied to his wife. It is unknown whether she committed homicide. However, I think that the true reason for resignation will be in a different portion. Because, there was criticism the new left Bo's policy in center. Moreover, he is populist and lone wolf. Such man is difficult.  Therefore, he might be removed by central member.

 Please access this site, if you have interest. It is the site of the magazine which I referred to when I write this blog.

Blog#2: Olympics in 2020

   Hello! I'm Tomoko Yamazaki.
   In this year the London Olympics will be held. However, I will talk about the Olympics in 2020. May 23 (24 in Japan), Tokyo was selected for a site proposed for it with Madrid and Istanbul. September 7 in next year, the venue will be decided. Though the evaluation of Tokyo is good, people don't have an enthusiasm much. I think that the one of the reason is because it costs a lot to invite the Olympics. Shintaro Ishihara the Governor of Tokyo said "The struggle starts from now on." As for me, I'm not so interested in sports, but four years before I watched the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics on TV, then I was so excited. So I'd like to watch Japanese one too. This is the official website "Tokyo 2020."
   Thank you for your reading.

Blog#1: About my interest

 Hello, I'm Chiyui Hagiwara.
 I like world history, I learned world history in the high school days. Above all, Chinese history was particularly interesting.
Talking of Chinese history, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is popular in Japan. I like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" too. However, I think modern Chinese history is more interesting. 
 I think you understand the interest if you  read "WILD SWANS". This is my favorite book. Please read if you have free time!

Let me write about the day I went a concert.

May. 12. 2012., I went the violin recital held at Suntory Hall (Akasaka, Minato-Ku, Tokyo).Our viola teacher gave us tickets for free!


Most favorite music in the concert program was Chaconne from Partita No.2 in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004) composed by J.S.Bach (1685-1750).



It's my most favorite violin music.Yasuko Ohtani, the violinist, is the truly excellent player.We were extremely impressed by her technique.It was so fabulous and beyond description.

It was so good day.I'd like to visit Suntory Hall again.

See you again!

Blog#1:Todaiji

Hello! I'm Yuta Yamanaka.

 I went to Todaiji on spring vacation. Todaiji is located in Nara. Todaiji is a very big building and holds the biggest Great Buddha in Japan.  When I saw this Buddha statue, I was amazed by this Buddha statue. Regrettably, because Photography of the Buddha statue was forbidden, I was not able to take a photograph of the Buddha statue.

But I was able to do good experience.

Blog#1: The solar polar magnetic field

Hello! I'm Tomoko Yamazaki.
Do you like science? I know little special knowledge of that, but I think it's quite interesting. The other day, I found the news about the solar polar magnetic field. It seems that the north polar region is only reversing from minus to plus polarity. Please click here.
I'm surprised! There is much wonder in the universe, isn't there? Also, it seems that there is a possibility that the earth will be cool. I don't hope it get be so cold.
Well, let's look at the website of National Astronomical Observatory of Japan Hinode. You will know the detail of the sun.
Hinode, the satellite observing the sun is great!
Thank you for your reading.
