     I will explain about one of the best Japanese animation movies. It is "My Neighbor Totoro". The movie was made in 1988. It's directed by Hayao Miyazaki.      In the movie, there were two girls. One of them was Satsuki, and the other was Mei. They were sisters. They met a mysterious creature called "Totoro" in the forest. Totoro was very big, and so kind. The sisters loved Totoro. When they wanted to meet their mother in the hospital, Totoro helped them with Totoro's friend "Cat Bus". At the end, they ate corn with Totoro.      I like the movie "My Neighbor Totoro" because the sisters were very cute. In addition, I love Cat Bus. There were a lot of charming characters in the movie. Why don't you watch this movie?

     Good evening. December has begun from today. It was too cold every day so I bought a neck warmer last week. It is very warm.      Today I will talk about shopping. Do you like shopping? I love shopping. When I go to a shopping mall such as Youme Town, I often buy things I didn't intend to buy. Shopping is one of my pleasures.The other day I bought a very nice bag. The bag has a cute ribbon. The day I bought it, I actually intended to buy boots, but I liked it so much that I bought it. I can't wait to go out with this bag.      What did you buy recently? And what do you like about it? Please tell me in the comments. Thank you for visiting my blog today. Good night.

     Good evening. It ’s cold today too. I haven't been able to get out of my house because it's so cold recently. Are you able to get up and attend morning classes even on a cold morning? It's very painful for me to get up on a cold morning and wash my face.      I'm talking about books today. You already know that one of my hobbies is reading. Today I will talk in detail about the wonderful books I have ever met!      I've already told you that one of my favorite novelists is Kotaro Isaka. There are many more novelists I like. One of them is Shinichi Hoshi. Maybe some people have read his books in school textbooks. His short short story is really amazing. He has left many masterpieces. Among them, my favorite novels are “O-i Deteko-i” and “Atsusa”. These two works make you feel terror after reading. I think that fear is the goodness of his novel.      I'd like to introduce another favorite novelist. It is Kyusaku Yumeno. ...

     Good evening. It was a very cold day today. What are you doing to protect yourself from the cold? I am recently wearing gloves. Gloves are good. It protects my hands from the piercing cold.      Let's finish the boring story and talk about today's main theme. If you're smart, you might have already seen my blog title today. What I want to talk about today is sleep. How many hours do you sleep a day? I sleep about 7 hours a day. I sleep when the date changes and get up between 7 and 8 in the morning. Did you surprise me that I live a regular life? That's a shame.      I am quite happy if I sleep for 7 hours. However, when I looked at the average global sleep time, I was surprised by the results. Surprisingly, the average sleep time for Americans is over 8 hours. South Africans have the longest average sleep time, sleeping 9 hours and 20 minutes a day! After knowing this story, I feel my 7-hour sleep is less. I will ask you again. How m...

     Today I listened to the English podcast called "A crazy life at an American University". They talked about "Thanksgiving Day". It is an important event for American. The event is held the end of November. American are looking forward to the event. Most Americans spend with their families on the day. And "give thanks" for all good things in their lives.       In Addition, "Thanksgiving dinner" is wonderful! For example, they eat a turkey, a ham, cornbread, sweet potato casserole, pecan pie, mac n cheese. However, all American eat these dinners. There are various dinners for "Thanksgiving Day". I thought that I wanted to know other cuisines of the day.

     I think that the best way to study a foreign language is to talk with people from other countries.      For starts, I can learn native languages from foreigners who live in Japan. Usually I only study English by reading textbook, but I don't learn native English.The more I talk with a foreigner, the better my English skill is. In addition, some people think that going abroad is the best way. But It's too expensive for students to go abroad for studying. Poor students can't go abroad.      So I think that speaking to people from other countries is the best way to study a foreign language.

     Good evening. What were you all doing tonight? Have you already taken a bath? Perhaps some people are already in bed after getting ready to sleep. I just got home and took a break. Today was a busy and fun day. How was everyone? What has happened in the past week?      Now, for those who are sleepy and irresistible, I'll move on to the main subject as soon as possible. What I want to talk about today is about food, as the title says. What do you think of when you hear "food"?      First of all, there are various flavors of food. For example, spicy, bitter, sour. I especially like sweet foods. Sweet sweet chocolate or cakes with lots of sugar. Eating sweets makes me happy. Do not you think so? And there is also a salty taste. I also like salty food recently. There are many high-calorie foods such as French fries and fried chicken. Still, it is delicious and I eats a lot. Why is salty food so delicious? That has a devilish cha...

     Good afternoon,everyone. November started from today. There are only two months left this year. Don't you have any regrets in 2019?      I'm going to talk about my dream today.      My first dream is to skydive. Have you ever skydived? If you have experienced skydiving, please let me know about that experience. Perhaps you might say that skydiving is scary and impossible. I'm actually also. I'm scared to do skydiving. But don't you think that jumping out of the sky is the most wonderful thing? Receive the wind and jump into the sky. How do I feel at that time? What kind of scenery will spread in front of me during skydiving? That makes me excited. Humans can never fly using the wings like birds. Flying in the sky will remain a human admiration forever, but Skydiving will allow you to experience that admiration in a pseudo manner. Isn't that great? I strongly think so.      If anyone reads this blog and wants to go skyd...

     Hello,everyone. How are you? I'm very fine. Today's weather is sunny! It's a wonderful day.      Let's talk about cats today. Do you like cats or dogs? I like cats more than dogs. The cat is cute. That fluffy hair and tail are wonderful. Why do cats so much attract us? Have you ever thought about the charm of cats? Do you say no?......Incredible! The cat is talking to us so much. It's not sane not to hear the cat's voice!      As you know, there are many types of cats. For example, what kind of cats do you think? Scottish fold? American short hair? Or Munchkin? You forget the most important cat type. It's a calico cat. Probably no one don't knows calico. That cat is so famous. By the way, calico cats are sometimes called “tortoiseshell cat”. Japanese people may be familiar with the name “Mikeneko”. I like “Mikeneko”. Among various cats, I think the calico is the cutest. Do not you think so?      For the time being,...

     Hello,everyone. The topic I talk about today is about movies. Do you often go to see movies? I go to the cinema only a few times a year. But I love movie theaters. That unique atmosphere and excitement can only be enjoyed by a movie theater. What do you order at the cinema? Is it popcorn or a drink? It's fun to buy a movie brochure. The cinema is full of charm.      I went to see a movie last month. The title is “Kaguya wants to tell you”. The outline of this movie is as follows. An excellent vice-student president, Kaguya Shinomiya and the student council president, Shigane Miyuki, will have a romantic war. It was Sho Hirano who played the role of Miyuki, and Kanna Hashimoto who played the role of Kaguya. The performance of the two was great. The screenplay was also very interesting and I wanted to read the original manga.      My favorite scene is the summer festival. I was impressed by Miyuki, who was trying to show off t...
