Since August last year, I have been traveling often to Sweden. Business trips. People say "Good for you!" whenever I tell this, but actually, it's physically tough. Maybe I'm too old to do this :P What's difficult is…flights. I often take Norwegian air, but they were delayed more than half out of 12 times, the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I went to see onedotzero as usual...however, I missed "J-star" I used to watch every year! No....but here is a quick report anyway. The first one was "Sprites". It was for kids, and the most of the audience was moms and kids! The works were more "cute" type of stuff. The other one was "Extended […]

Okay, so, Alice. Finally I watched it. Although it was on a small screen and not 3D. It was rather...unique...Alice. For me, after all, the animation Alice by Disney is a masterpiece, but I wonder which is closer to the original literature. A big problem is, I'm not that into Johnny Depp... I couldn't understand […]

I know it's nothing new, but I saw the film "Billy Eliot" on the other day. I remember, when I was in Sheffield, I've seen its poster showing a boy wearing boxing kit among girls wearing ballet costume.It's a story about a boy, Elliot living in New Castle with his Granma, father and brother, happened […]

This is about a TV show again, a TV show called "Hai! Karate" on CBBC. Four pairs of a parent and a child visit Japan to learn Karate in order to get closer relationship. It's quite interesting. Looking at "futon" (Japanese type bed) and shouting "Do we sleep on the floor!?", not knowing how to […]

I don't watch drama. I don't think I can watch it every week and feel a bit uncomfortable waiting for the next week. So I used to watchnews programme or comedy show on TV in Japan. Since I came here, I had been looking for my favourite UK TV show but hadn't been successful. I've […]
