Posted on 30th Nov 2011

I can't believe it's been one year already...I went to see onedotzero this year too. It was the first time to see wavelength though. wavelength is a collection of music video. Motion graphics are really interesting as I can enjoy them as long as 1) I like both graphics and music or 2) Graphics is […]

Anniversary of the end of the war

Posted on 15th Aug 2011

Although I tend to forget about this while in the U.K., 15th of August is the anniversary of the end of the war in Japan (as it's the day the emperor announced Japan's surrender). This day always makes me think of lots of things. Of course, it's the day to prey the soul of all […]

Barlingen International Folkdance Festival (1)

Posted on 31st May 2011

I can't believe this is 1month ago already...It's about my trip to Germany. Our Shishimai website also updated more detailed stories and pictures, check it out! As I hadn't performed Shishimai since I came to London, I was so looking forward to joining them in Germany this time! I was thinking of joining them in […]

13 Assassins

Posted on 29th May 2011

I want to write about Germany too, but this one is first maybe. The film "13 assassins" was released in the U.K., I finally went to see it. To be honest, I was not very keen on Miike Takashi's films...although I haven't watched many of them, I don't like too much violence, and had heard […]

Tron Legacy

Posted on 30th Jan 2011

When I went back to Japan, I went to see Tron. Although I saw it as 3D, it didn't look 3D at all and instead only Japanese subtitles looked like 3D. Was it because of the theatre I went? Or is 3D something like this? Anyway, the film was really good. I actually wanted to […]

The Social Network

Posted on 29th Jan 2011

It's a while ago, but I went to see "The Social Network". It was much better than I thought. I expected something like a typical "success story of Mark Zuckerberg" which sounds a bit boring, but I enjoyed the direction which mixes the time line and its speedy story-telling. It was a casual watch. Although […]

Cousin’s death

Posted on 24th Jan 2011

I'm not sure if I can write this well...but in order to step forward, I decided to post this. It will be a bit long story. My cousin has passed away by a bike accident on the other day. Thank you for everyone who sent me kind words, and I apologize I haven't been able […]

Happy New Year 2011

Posted on 9th Jan 2011

Happy new year, everyone. Although Heathrow airport destroyed part of my holiday before Xmas, I could finally go to Japan and spend the new year there. For those I had to cancel the appointments, I'm sincerely sorry about that. For those I could meet, thank you for your time and it was a fantastic moment! […]

Amazing paper cut art works by Rob Ryan

Posted on 21st Nov 2010

I went to see Rob Ryan's paper cut art works yesterday.  (via @NoriFla Thanks!) I really liked his fine, crisp but simple work, which has lovely "stories" inside. Sometimes the story is sentimental, sometimes happy, I will never get bored looking at these art. It might be interesting if it becomes animation...like moving pictures. They […]
