夏祭り／日本語のクラスへの歌 (Japanese Summer Festival / Song for Japanese Class)

今年の夏祭りも楽しかった！浴衣を着て、ほかのところで弁当を買って、祭りに行った。今年、食べ物のために、待ち行列を作る必要がなくて、よかったです。前年は一時間以上まで食べ物を待っているときがあった。そのとき、おなかがぺこぺきになってしまって、どうしようもなく、待つしかない状況です。今年、カラフル水ヨーヨーも手に入った！友達のおかけでね。私はそのゲームが下手です。＞＿＜　まもなく、写真～～

(This year's Summer Festival was fun! Wearing the yukata, buying the bento elsewhere and went to the festival. This year, for food, I do not have to necessary queue for it, I'm glad. I had to wait for more than an hour for food last year. That time, my stomach was growling and in a situation that nothing can be done except to wait. This year, I even gotten the colourful yoyo water ball! Thanks to my friend. I'm really bad at playing that game. >_< Without wasting more time, pictures~~~)

天気がよくて、本当によかったわ！！ (I'm really glad that the weather was good!)


さってと、実は、わたしは受けている日本語のクラスに歌詞を作った。それは一年前だった。レコードをしたいけど、歌詞と歌は奏で合わなかった。そして、歌詞をもう一度直した。この歌の旋律は「TARI TARI」というアニメのOPテーマ「潮風のハーモニー」からです。どうしてこの旋律を選んだ？私はいつもこの歌を聞いているとき、クラスの楽しかった時間を思い出したの。ぜひ見てね～

(Well then, actually, I made song lyrics for my Japanese class which I am taking. That was one year ago. Although I wanted to do recording, the song melody and the lyrics didn't really match. Then, I re-make the lyrics. This song's melody is from opening theme "Shiokaze no Harmony" of the anime "TARI TARI". Why did I choose this melody? Every time when I'm listening to this song, I remembered the enjoyable times in class. Please take a look~~)

アニメ：SHIROBAKO、夏祭り (Anime: Shirobako, Japanese Summer Festival)

最近、「SHIROBAKO]というアニメを見ている。まるではじめてそんなに楽しんでいる。このアニメにはあるアニメを作った会社を中心している。アニメを作るのは大変だと分かるけど、そんなに長いプロセスがあってこと、知らなかった。

(Recently, I'm watching an anime called "Shirobako". It's like the first time I feel so enjoyable. This anime centered on a company making anime. Althought I know making anime is tough, but I didn't know such long processes exist.)

彼女たちはそんなに頑張っていて、アニメの仕事を目指し、すごいと思う。私は昔もアニメの仕事をするかと考えていたが、そのアニメを見て、私はそんな仕事をしなかったほうがいいかもと、つい思っている。だって、描くのは楽しいけど、仕事にすると、そのように楽しめるかな。すみませんね、楽しいことを教えたったけど、いつの間にか、少し暗い話になってしまった。

(I think it's amazing that these girls work so hard and aim for anime-related jobs. Even though I also thought of doing anime-related work in the past, after seeing this anime, I just thought that it might be good thing that I didn't do such a job. After all, even if drawing is fun, when it becomes a career, will I still be able to enjoy like that? I'm sorry. I wanted to tell fun things, but before I realized it, this became a slightly gloomy story.)

上の写真はアニメ中の監督。性格はとても子どもっぽいが、頭の中にイメージがあれば、汽車のように、すぐまじめに全てをストーリボードに描ける。

(The picture above is the director in the anime. His personality is very childish , however, when he has images in his mind, like a steam train, he is able to draw out all into the storyboard quickly and earnestly.)

制作進行たちの仕事は制作が進んでいく大事な人。左の男性はちょっとダメな人間です。余計な言葉を伝えたので、他の人に喧嘩させた事情になった。それに、文句が多くて、他人のせいは自分のせいといつも言って。右の彼女は主人公の一人です。仕事をすごく頑張っている人。左の男性は彼女が優しいと思うから、彼女に援助を求める。

(Production assistants are important people who ensure that the production advances smoothly. The guy on the left is a hopeless case. As he conveyed unnecessary words, it became a situation that caused others into quarreling. In addition, he has too many complaints and always say that the fault of others are not of his. The girl on the right is one of the main characters. She's someone who works very hard at her work. The guy om the left asks help from the girl because he thinks she is nice.)

キャラクターはまだたくさんですよ。よければ、ぜひこのアニメを見てね～
(There are still many characters. If it's ok for you, please watch this anime~)

いよいよ、あしたは夏祭りがあります！一年一回浴衣を着て、そこへ行くの！大勢の人々がいるから、食べ物キオスクもゲームキオスクも長蛇の列だが、楽しみに！夏祭りの情報は下のリンクがあります。

Anime/Movies, Food, Random Stuff

It's been a long time, I blog the whole post in English. Lol. Suddenly just feel like blogging in English. (x_X) But I think I should say sorry to the Japanese people who are reading my blog.

英語でブロックするのは久しぶりです。だから、今、そうしたいんです。すみませんね、日本人の人たち。でも、英語が上手になる機会ですね。（X_x)

最近、私のブロックを見ている日本人が増えている。すごくうれしい～～みんな、ありがとう！
(Recently, Japanese people reading my blog is increasing in number. I'm very happy~~ Thanks, everyone!)

The recent anime/movie I'm watching is Shingeki no Kyojin (Attach on the Titans) live-action movie, Psycho Pass movie and a chinese movie called "Monster Hunt".

The movie was really not bad, especially parts whereby they flew in the air with the devices and when Eren transformed into a Titan. However, I don't really like the weird romance going on in the movie.. >_<

I think the movie was awesome! The characters inside the movie had tried their best to speak better English, though it still felt weird. (x_X) But, they had put good effort in speaking English! I think the movie still has a continuation after finishing the movie. Can't wait for another Psycho Pass movie!

I went to watch this Chinese movie "Monster Hunt" because my mum wanted to. I had heard from my friend that this show was really funny, but it didn't turn out as funny as I expected it to be. (x_X) Nonetheless, it was a pretty good show for a laugh. It's a mixture of 3D graphics for the monsters and real people acting in the movie. Story plot was interesting and the ending was unexpectedly good.

Recent food which I had tried is as follows:

Mushroom Spaghetti

碳 (Tan)

I ate these at Stateland Cafe, Bali Lane. The dessert was yummy!

I ate those at Shinjuku restaurant, Cuppage Plaza. It is an authentic Japanese restaurant where a lot of Japanese people in Singapore ate at. Totally delicious!~

And now for the random stuff....

I bought this Monster Hunter pig for my boyfriend's birthday! It's so cute and nice to hug! I love talking to it too! ^_^

I bought this at a supermarket in Singapore. It was expensive but one of my favourite Pocky flavours!

Recently, I drew this Luffy 4th gear picture for a colleague. This is the first time I draw Luffy, seems like it looks pretty OK. ^_^V

That's all, folks~~
