iKnow!

I have joined another SNS again…well, I don’t expect much from its feature as SNS, but it’s a website for English leaners. It may be a bit difficult to become a good English speaker only with this, but at least it looks good enough to learn vocabulary. You can remember some words by “repeating” them. Afterall, that’s the most quick way to remember, isn’t that? Perhaps we need to have time to use them in actual conversations after this site… Oh, is the SNS for that? Anyway, it seems the intermediate and advanced course provide a quite good selection of […]

“Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse

When I listened to the track “Back to Black” on the radio, I really liked it at once. Now I bought her album and actually the whole album is really cool, I think. Her voice is quite unique and she uses it very well to sing classical soul or R&B. And still, it doesn’t sound old-fashioned. My favourites are “Tears dry on their own” (I want to listen to this on a beautiful day), “Rehab” (I am Japanese and didn’t know the meaning of “rehab” at first), “Back to Black” (Sounds so cool), but above all, “You know I’m no […]

Kabuki @ Hakata-za February

It was the kabuki stage I was really looking forward. I went to Hakata (2hours by airplane). Woo Hoo! On start time, Kantaro started to announcement. He appeared wearing Montsuki Hakama (Formal Kimono), and gave us a greeting. He always looks smart! Well, it sounded like a wrestler. Mic perfomance? The first act was “Yoshitsune Senbon-sakura Tokai-ya / Daimotsuno-ura”> In the scene Tomomori kills himself by diving into the sea carrying a big ancher, it is really famous that the actor fall down with his back. This time, the actor was Shido… Well, I’m afraid to say this, but the […]

“Yours Truly, Angry Mob” by Kaiser Chiefs

It’s been a while since I went to HMV last time. I bought some CDs and am feeling so happy, I’ll write about them one by one. The first one is, well, I know it’s a bit too late, but Kaiser Chiefs’s “Yours Truly, Angry Mob”. Actually I listened to it when it was released. But I didn’t like “Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby—” so I didn’t buy it. But why, it sounds really cool now. I was so stupid not buying it. Some tracks are like “I predict a riot”, cool beat and dance tune, still being rock, and some […]

Is this iTunes’s bug???

I’m enjoying Radiohead on big volume now. An annoying week finally ended. Unknown bugs and errors, working for 33hours without sleeping, argueing with sales reps…Sorry I can’t reply to your messages. I don’t have much energy on weekdays… Well, now I’m using iTunes but…I can’t see the reason, perhaps the recent update, but it changes its ganre into Japanese words. I mean, it changes “Rock” to “ロック”（katakana, Japanese) automatically. I changed the language setting to “English” and now it looks OK. Is it a bug? Or software’s specification? Isn’t it annoying a bit?
