Blog#6:My favorite singer

Hello, I`m Yuta Yamanaka.

I am sorry that renewal of a blog is overdue. My most favorite singer is an American singer's "Joe". I like soul music these days. Soul music has the power of relieving my heart. I like all music which he sings, but especially my most favorite song is "All The Things". When I listen to this song for the first time, I was enchanted by this song. Please listen to this music. I am glad if this music also gets you to be pleased.

Blog#6: ALI PROJECT

Kasumi Matuso
I like ALI PROJECT Which is a music group. Two peoples are ALI PROJECT's member, Mikiya Katakura(composition and arrangement) & Arika Takarano(words and vocal). Genre is various, for example, dark Rock, voluptuous Gothic, glamorous Lolita, etc.

My favorite song is 'territory of a sacred girl(聖少女領域)'. This song is using of the animation's theme song. This animation is 'ROZEN MAIDEN'. I think that this song very match with this animation. I listened this song in this animation's opening and I like this song and ALI PROJECT!

Blog#6: Pick an apple!

 Hi, I'm Chiyui Hagiwara.
My favorite song is " Ringo mogire beam". This title will translate " Pick an apple! beam". It is animetion's theme song, and singer is Otsuki Kenji. I'm not quite familiar with his action. But, I think that he is individual singer.
 This song have inferiority complex in places. But, this song's melody is beautiful. ( I like piano's melody in this music)

 By the way, this song's singer is not only Otsuki kenji. Some female singer are joining in this song. There is a person from Gakushuin University in that!

Blog#5: My WALKMAN

Hello! I'm Koshi Mochizuki.
This is my Walkman (mp3 player). I had lost my Walkman in last summer, so I bought a new one again in February. I think mp3 player is very useful and I carry this Walkman everywhere I go.
I'm now a member of orchestra in Gakushuin, so I listen to much classical music especially. Every time listen to lovely and cool music, I am so energized by the power of music.
Sometimes, however, I cannot help feeling the demerit of a media player. The easier we can listen to much music, the more we listen to slackly and loose, I think. A German music critic, T.W.Adorno (1903-1969) also points out this like me. We must treat music with great care.
What do you think about?

Please listen! (I love and often listen to this tune.)

    These are manicures which I have. I have a lot of manicures. They have various color variation! My favorite color is orange. When I'm six years old, I bought first manicure. This color was orange. Orange color cheer up me.

    I like to paint my fingernails. But I can't pain it recently because I'm working part-time as a clerk in a ONIGIRI(=rice ball) shop now. To paint nails is prohibited. I want to paint my nails in the summer holiday!
