"Yuck    Hikaru-chan    You ate kimchi didn't you"

'You have a good nose my Kuma Chang. Yes I ate kimchi~!'

"Ugh     You go away    Yuck    Yuck"

'My Kuma Chang, your face looks so stern (lol) Aww even with squashed face you look so cute~! *hop* *hugs*'

"Aww    Yuck    Yuck"

Loveliness

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

I went out for a walk early in the morning for the first time in quite some time, since Kuma Chang took my Su-fami away from me.

The first outdoor photo in 8 months . . .
Ha, ha ha ha . . . (;^-^A)

Whew, I seldom take pictures while taking walks, but this mass of fallen sakura petals on the ground caught my eye and I took out my ke-tai before I knew it.

Those sakuras blooming on trees look pale pink through the sunlight, which is so pretty, but the fallen sakura petals piling up on the ground could give you a different impression. The pink looks deeper, shows some pale-purple-ish changes in the shade, with soft-looking like velvet.

I stared at them for a while, given the heart-skipping feeling like finding a pretty little girl matured into a sensuous adult woman when meeting her for the first time in years. Looks like it smells good.

I can feel even the comfort of the cool ground.

I'm more fascinated in this kind of quiet aspect of beauty than those sakuras in full bloom - am I a contrary person, or a wabi-sabi-conscious Japanese-ish Japanese?

When I come to think of it . . .

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

They really look the same *lmao*

Should Tamori-san cosplay as Kamesennin in M-Ste, maybe I can cosplay as Kuririn! ! !

Oh no, dammit!

Just what the heck does gootjob mean~!

I meant to write goodjob . . .

It cannot be called a goodjob in multiple meanings > to myself

I've done it

I meant ESO, not NASA!

ESO did a gootjob! Stay at it NASA*

NO to Love-come(Romantic Comedy)

I think it'd be nice if the rapper-sans seeking any interesting lines to rhyme may cover "Boku wa Kuma" > to all the rapper guys and girls

It's been exactly a week since I started playing Torneko, and now I completed both "A Little Mysterious Dungeon" and "Mysterious Dungeon" levels! I never expected I would watch the game credits in just a week . . .

Maybe I'll try Torneko 2 after I play Torneko a little more, until fully satisfied!

Aww, while I'm doing things like this NASA has found the planet that has a similar environment to Earth . . .
(-^*b) Goodjob! > NASA

YO man

Treasures found

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

I found these Piccolo Kewpie and Kamesennin Kewpie which I'd been looking for, while I was putting my stuff in order ! ! ! ! !

I got them on impulse at KIDDY LAND in Harajuku and loved them much, but then I lost them somewhere, which made me so sad.

I'm so happy~! Just how cute they are !
Piccolo is the character I love most in Dragon Ball. He's such a shy type of guy, which makes him so adorable(-o-)

Let's see, to what sort of thing shall I attach them? I can't name my ke-tai 'cause it's already got lots of stuff attached right now.

Late April

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

The early summer weather is suddenly here in Tokyo!
A couple of days ago the temperature was in mid February level which was fairly cold!
Extreme weather is here~

"You know lately the temperature swings pretty wildly in a day, so you have no idea of what to wear to go out~" That's what a friend of mine said. I kept quiet like " . . . ", then my friend went "Oh yeah, don't mind it, I bet you don't care about that kind of thing much, 'cause Hikaru would be staying at home most of the time, right?"

Bingo~ (*^o^*)

Over the past week I've been pretty much hooked on "Torneko no Daibouken" which I started playing recommended by a friend of mine, and I've been struggling in the mysterious dungeons every night till the morning. My Su-fami, is a used one. The game gets frozen whenever I give even a small shock to him by mistake. He's such a cute little guy . . .

What a great! and interesting game this is! I've been so into one single game for the first time ever since I was hooked on Tetris!! Big kudos to my friend who recommended this game to me!

We hear a lot about Wii, PS3, DS and stuff like that in the media lately, but I say Su-fami is the best .:*:.(*^-^)

Toruneko no Daibouken is the best, featuring a fat old guy as the main character.:*:.(*^-^)

Hiroshi~

I almost spewed my coffee when I saw the official site of Chibi Maruko-chan drama version with the new casts

(' O ' ) Hiroshi . . . ! Hiroshi!

He looks too much like the original manga version!
This could be the most precise case of the live-action casts of mangas ever
*flutters* |(' o ';)/ = /;' o')/ *flutters*

Knut is bloody cute

Once in my life, I hope I can do Mushaburui(trembling with excitement and courage) before I die ! !

That's what came up to my mind in Tokyo where the sakura trees have already bloomed.

You know, lately I'm so so into Michael Jackson~.

When I first heard "Dirty Diana" a long time ago, I felt the similar sort of excitement that I did when I heard the beginning part of Sting's "I Burn For You," and I went like OMG I didn't know you got this great song Michael! You're incredibly cool ! ! ! You're a superhuman! (- in a good way, of course . . . you know . . . )

So, driven by excitement I bought his greatest hits album. Recently I listened to it again after ages and found that I loved Michael Jackson in the early days (by the time around "Dirty Diana" release)~. I can learn so much from his music of course, but what thrills me most is . . . his singing . . . just can't believe . . .
o(- . - o) He's great, so great, too good singing and voice

If I name two greatest singers of all time, that would definitely be Misora Hibari and Michael Jackson . . .

My friends often ask me "How can I sing well?" when I go to karaoke or something like that with them . . . (I wanna know it myself) Put simply, the key point is how to start, stretch and finish singing each musical note, right? If I compare it to jumps of figure skating, it could correspond to takeoff, rotation and landing, I should say?

I say you've got infinite possibilities about that, I mean - even if you just sing "Ah~*," you've got lots of options just for how to start singing it: you could start on key, slightly descending downward from up to down, or ascending upward from deep bass sounds to lighter ones. You've also got options about what to do with your voice volume - turn up full blast, start sensuously by hitching your voice to your throat, or start at low volume.

After that, you choose whether to use vibrato or not; put a big wave to the volume or not. Whether to sing open and cheerful by increasing breathing quantity or sing with gloomy voice by limiting breathing quantity.

Lastly, you decide whether to fade your voice out or just break off; how long you stretch your voice; whether to add some sounds with your mouth and breath after the song is over, to show your characteristics. Blah blah blah! The list goes on and on and on!

Michael Jackson works out all those kind of things just perfectly . . . He always makes best choices, and he sings just too well.
(T o T) Oh~ Michael

By the way, you can clearly tell who plays well and who doesn't if you listen to guitars and basses this way.

Those people who've got nice grooves and rhythms, should especially be good at finishing the song. They can stretch their voice where it should be stretched; they can make a clean cut where a clean cut should be done! It's where everyone thinks "Ah, so you finish the song at that point!"
(Great R&B/Soul singers are crazily good at doing this!)

I'm not sure if this could be tips(?) to sing well, but your singing could sound a little better than now if you try to be conscious of how to finish each phrase at least - even if you think it's too hard to be conscious of each sound.

I myself gotta do my best too . . .

Sometimes I really feel like punching myself for my too messy singing (T o T)

"Beat It" kicks ass, seriously (T o T) *weeps buckets* *cries hic cries hic cries* The guitar sound almost knocks me out (*^o^*). o O What the heck is this . . . OMG . . .

Sakura~

I'd say Japanese really love sakuras(cherry blossoms)~.

The image of sakuras may often come with various emotions, since you'd often come across and remember sakuras at each turning point of your life, like graduations, enrollments, initiations, and such.

I myself don't have a special feeling for sakuras that much . . . or rather not at all, probably because I grew up in the system that had graduations in June and enrollments in September. I strongly feel I'm missing some valuable things as a Japanese . . . ! ! ! (I've never done Hanami either, by the way)

So, the other day I went on a walk for the purpose of viewing sakuras, to take its beauty into my heart!

And you know what - Oh! There's a sakura tree here! There's another one over there! Hey I never thought I'd see a sakura tree in this place! Tokyo's got a lot of sakuras in bloom, which amazes me. So all these sakura trees are planted just for this one week out of one whole year! Amazing! Bravo!

I saw a lot of sakura trees, and filled up my heart with the beauty of them. Sakura petals fluttering in the wind are so beautiful. I wonder if there are any other flowers that drop lots of petals at one time like that?

On my way home from such a nice walk . . .

I saw Marc Panther san coming out from his home*


That's why the memory of sakuras in my heart has come with Marc Panther san in the sleeveless shirt.

I remember Marc Panther san was nicely tanned . . .

Kuma Chang in current-year

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

. . . He looks pretty same as usual, huh.

That's natural because he is a kuma.

So, new school/business year has begun. A big cheers from me to all of you who have made a fresh new start! Bon voyage!

I also cheer for the people who have been suffering from Noto peninsula earthquake.

A week has passed from that time. In Tokyo I feel time goes by fast, but the days may be going by much more slowly over there. Some of them may not be able to browse the internet yet I guess? I hope everyone can return to their old life as soon as possible.
