Detroit Metal City


I recommend the Detroit Metal City. This movie comes from the comic which is produced by Wakasugi since2005s. The title originates from Detroit Rock City of “kiss”. The comic has a large following. There are many TV personalities who are fan of it too. For example, Nagasawa Masami, Kimura Kaera, B`z and so on. It has the hightest ranking in Amazon.com which is big mail order site. You can find many coarse words when you read it. It is sold in Hong Kong too. Hong Kong limits to sell it for saving children. This is reason that most people are addicted on the comic, a few people hate it.

The main actor is Kenich Matuyama who plays the part of the man who is wishful for a pop musician. He is a famous actor for his brilliant acting.



"this kiss is raspberry taste because you ate a piece of cake just now’’ Main character tried to be musician by this song, Raspberry kiss. But he have to be guitar vocal of death metal band because he made a mistake the music office he belong to. This band’s name is DMC. It gains high popularity among young people. But he is not happy because he does not like this kind of music. It is funny that he hates his song himself.


Thought,I have not read the comic. I enjoined watching the movie. Some CDs which is used in movie is sold now. you can enjoy not only watching but also listening to CDs. The movie is on now. If you have a free time, please go to see the Detroit Metal City!!

My Summer Vacation



I enjoyed my summer vacation. I went to Tokyo to meet my friend who is my high school classmate. Meeting my friend brought back many memories of my high school days. Now she lives in Tokyo and studies the art in the cram school for university to get in the art university. I went to her apartment at night. Her room was not comfortable because it was narrow and dirty because she put on a lot of pictures. She and I slept in her room.


Next day, we went to shopping in Shibuya I bought clothes in 109. 109 is clothes’ shop for young man. I was puzzled what to choose because every clothes is very cute and cool.

We went to Takesita Avenue and Rahore in Harazyuku. I had never been to Rahore because it is new building. We did not buy anything in this place because every thing that is sold is expensive for us. I think that it is shop for adults.

We enjoyed shopping in harazyuku Avenue. This avenue's map is it! There are a lot of clothes’ shops and restaurants and booths of food. I think that this avenue is funny because there are a lot of interesting shops. Such as shops sells strange clothes and some customers were very showy dressed. I bought two normal clothes. One is green one-piece and another is black jacket. I was happy because I took to clothes I bought. My friend also bought two clothes. She seems to have been happy.We ate an ice cream and a hamburger and a crepe at noon. Takesita Avenue is famous for crepe. If you go to Takesita Avenue, try it!

At night we went to the restaurant and talk about our new life. I am pleased that she enjoys her new life in Tokyo.


Last day, my friend had to go to cram school for university. I felt sad. But I said to her goodbye. I went to Sunshine city alone in Ikebukuro. First I got lost through not knowing the way. Losing my way upset me badly. I have been to sunshine city three times. But then I was child and I just followed my father. Finally, I asked the woman who looks so king the way. Sunshine city was crowed with people. I bought accessories and cosmetics. It was lucky to buy a cosmetic because it is cheaper than it which I found in my hometown before. I was happy when I was in sunshine city. But it was unlucky that I had a little time then. I had to go to Sinzyuku station soon to get in a bus that goes back Gifu. I went to Sinzyuku station and chose some souvenirs hurriedly. I slept in the bus because I was so tired. But I had a nice time in Tokyo.

Fast Food


Today, there are many kind of fast food. Fast food is loved by many people because they can eat it very fast and easy. It is good for people who have little times. However it is not good for our health. Almost it is high calorie and used many salty and fatty. On the contrary, because there are few vegetables, there are few vitamins or minerals. Fast food lacks nutrients. The life you always eat such a food causes high blood pressure or hyperlipemia. Almost American often eats it. The results are as follows. There are a lot of people who is overweight in America.


However, all fast food is not bad in health. The rice ball is said as the representative of the Japanese fast food is not high calorie. You need to choose such a low calorie fast food sometimes. When you are busy, it is very convenient fast food, but we should choose fast food and keep company well.
