My high school

Hallo!! Some of you introduce your highschool, so today I introduce my highschool.


They are my classmates. There are only nine men in my class. People who belonged to Interenational-education course were class 1 or 2, and I don't know why but most of who entered the course had been girls since the course was established. There are 6 other class which are normal-course. However I think there are little differences between the classes. We were very friendly without regard to male or female, of course still now.


We were not bound by school rules. We could color our hair, have our ears pierced and wear own clothes, not school uniform. I really enjoyed the highschool life. All events, like sports festivals, school festivals and picnics were really exciting for me. My friends and I often stayed at classroom and chatted about study, what would we do after graduatinon, something funny happened these days and love. I had a lot of pleasant time with them.


This is the picture of the team I belonged to.
I had played basketball. We did not have coach but only a teacher who always attended practice and games, so we thought practuce menu and strategy how to play. That was very good experience for me because when I was a junior highschool student, my coach was very severe and I felt like that I just played as he comanded. I learned a lot of important things from the experience.
My teammates are funny and good guys. They played basketball seriously, but after finishing practice, they were always full of fun. I like the team and teammates. You can find more information about Senri highschool to click here.
Thank you !!

My favorite novelist

Today I'll talk about my favorite novelist, Otsuiti.

In 1996, when he was 17, he came out with his novel" Summer,fireworks, and my body (Natsu-to hanabi-to watashi-no-shitai)'. The novel won the prize of non-fiction Jump novel. In 2002, he wrote "GOTH" and won the mistery grand prix. After that, he have enjoyed popularity. Now the movie "Calling You(Kiminisika-kikoenai)",the original he wrote, is being screened.

He writes two completely different type novels. One is about case of murders and death, the other is about sad feelings.
Examples of the former are the novels I write above this paragraph, and I suggest you should read "GOTH" and "Zoo(this book includes the other type too)", if you can read very cruel scenes. The stories are very exciting and you will be deceived by the author.
Examples of the latter are "Calling you" and "Wave length of Lonliness". What I want you to read are "Future forecast ", which is written in " Wave length of lonliness", and "Calling you". The stories made me feel kind of sadness and warmth.

I'm glad if you want to read them and read. Thak you!!

Baby hatch

Today I'll talk about "Baby hatch". That is a big problem in Japan now.

Letter One

She uses her experience that she has worked with children and their parents for a long time to make her points. By using it, she can emphasize that she understands their minds and feelings. So people can trust her and her points become persuasive.



Letter Two

She uses a piece of news that young girl and her boyfriend abandoned their child to make her points. The news is an example which describes feelings of parents who have a problem about bringing children up. It makes people sympathize them and her points become forceful.


My opinion

I don't think Baby hatch is good answer. We have to stop abandoning children before it happens. Baby hatch may save lives which might be killed. However is only saving their lives really good for them? I don't think so. Children saved by Baby hatch will be suffered from living without parents. I think it is so bad and sad not to live with parents at least during infancy. So before making Baby hatch, we have to think and carry out ideas which help the parents who are seriously suffered from bringing up their children. And also we should give them opportunity to learn and be trained for preparing to become mother or farther not only physically but mentally. I think it is good to teach youth what are parents too.

Osaka castle

The picture I have is only Osaka castle. So today I'll talk about the castle.

Last summer I went to Osaka Castle to make a report as an asignment. Have you ever been there? That was the first time for me to go there. At that time I was studying Japanese history, so I was interested in Osaka castle.






The castle looked not so big. It was small. Because it was rebuilt, there were many screens to show the story of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the castle upper stairs. It had an elevator, too. They disappointed me because I wanted to see something old.

I could see some antiques down stairs. I wanted to take pictures of them, but it was forbidden. That's why I put only a picture of the castle. I don't have other good pictures. The antiques were very interesting for me. There were armor, weapons, letters, picture scrolls, and the replica of gold teahouse made by Hideyoshi. I thought the teahouse looked not so good. It was too brighted and my eyes felt tired when I saw it.

What impressed me most was the structure like defensive walls, batteries, and fosses. I thought there were great ideas of people who built them and comanders. I imagined the situation when the samurai were fighting.

You can check when it opens and how much an admission fee is to click here, and you can learn about Osaka castle a little to click here.

The following movie is about Osaka castle in April. So there are a lot of beautifu cherry blossoms.



If you are interested in Osaka castle, please go there this summer.
