Blog#9: Interesting Advertisement

Hello! I' m Natsumi Shiraishi.

I will introduce an interesting advertisement which I’ve seen these days.

Cecile, which is a mail-order dealer firm, is now trying to strengthen recognition of a brand named ‘’ANITA RENBERG.’’
As the part of this plan, this company advertise in Shinjuku Station, where more than four thousand people pass on.
 
 
 
Look!!! There are many models who wear lovely clothes in the advertisement.
The advertisement has a function called Touch Device.
If you want to buy the clothes which are worn by the model in the advertisement, you can get information about the item by touching your smartphone to the Touch Device.
 The Touch Device is very epoch-making system.
By use the Touch Device, you can see the information about the item, buy it, and moreover get coupon for 1,000 yen.
Do you get to want to buy, don't you?
The principle of the company is that  customers can buy goods whenever they want wherever they want.
As soon as you see the advertisement, you can buy.
 
I think it is getting more important for advertisement to cooperate with smartphone.
 
Incidentally, the model in the advertisement is named Cecil Kishimoto.
Her name is similar to the company's name.
 
The company's HP is Here.

Blog#7 My summer camp

Hi, Rina Hanamura. How was your summer vacation? I wanted to go abroad, but I couldn't. I went to Sugadaira in Nagano for training camp of rugby football. It was cool but sometimes cold, so we started a fire in the fireplace around the middle of August.


Manegers' work in the ground is to run to give the players in the ground, bind their affected areas with taping not to injure these areas and to do best performance, give patients rehabilitation, do first-aid treatment and so on, so we have licences to do first aid.

They are teammates of my age.

Blog#8: BBQ in Hakone

Hello!  I'm Natsumi Shiraishi.
Today, I will talk about a trip to Hakone with my friends.

My homeroom class in university has got along well regardless of gender. We had planed BBQ after the test of first term.
We went to Hakone from July 30th to 31st.

The first day, we assembled Shinjuku and went to supermarket to buy food and drink. We bought so much food.
Then, we took bus to Hakone. About 2 hours later, we arrived at a cottage, at once started BBQ!
We ate grilled meat, vegetable,and fried noodle....anyway so much!!!



In the evening, we did fireworks, and waited up for talking.

The next day, we went to Lake Ashino, and play in the water.
I rode a swan boat with my friend Mao.

It was a short trip, but I had a pleasant time, and got to like more my classmates.

Blog#8: My home

 Hello, I'm Rina Hanamura. I will move to Gaienmae from Ueno in December, so I will introduce Ueno and Gaienmae.

I live in Ueno, Tokyo. There are many tourist in each season. Particularly, in spring,they come to see cherry blossoms in Ueno Park, and in winter they visit Ameyoko to buy foods to cook is osechi-ryori that Japanese eat during the first three days of the New Year.





Gaienmae is near Aoyama. There are more shop-restaurant, and clothes than Ueno, and also Jingu stadium where it hold the fireworks display in each year. 
I recommend both place,so you should come here.






Blog#7: Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum


Hello! I’m Natsumi Shiraishi.
 

Today, I will introduce one of my summer vacation memories.

I went to Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno on September 6th.

I’m not so much interested in arts, but my mother likes museum, so I was taken by her. First, I was surprised to see many people in Ueno. I didn’t think Ueno was so crowded a place. But I understood the reason that there was zoo, a lot of museums and shopping malls.

 
The main arts in the museum was Johannes Vermeer’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring‘. Do you know Vermeer? He is a very famous painter typical of Dutch arts of 17th century. He painted about 30 works, and his works are exhibited transferring world.

 
There were Rembrandt’s, Frans Hals’s, Rubens’ works besides Vermeer’s. I had taken to Frans Hals’s work named ‘Laughing Boy’. The boy in the painting looks like live.

 
After we went to museum, we moved to Ginza and enjoyed shopping. It was a very happy day!

 

I recommend you to go the museum if you like arts, even if you are indifferent to. You will be attracted.

 

The museum’s HP is here.

Blog#4 Opus Hong Kong

 Hello, I'm Rina Hanamura. I checked Frank Gehrey's architecture and I will introduce it. The building is Opus Hong Kong in Victoria Peak and is built in 2012. The mountain overlooks the night view of Hong Kong, so it is famous as a tuorist spot. This is Opus Hong Kong.
 
 
 
 
 Compared with his other works, this building is seemingly restrained. But to my surprise, one room of the building was sold for 4,360,000,000yen. This is the most expensive room in Asia, and second in the world. This is the view from the room.

Blog8: Musical "CHICAGO"


Hi, this is Fumika. How are you? I’d like to write about a musical I watched this summer. I love musical, especially “CHICAGO”. The first time I watched it was in last February, at Broadway, N.Y. It was amazing, so I hoped I could watch it again. A couple months ago, I heard a piece of news from my friend that the “CHICAGO” would come to Japan from Broadway! That was exactly what I wanted! I bought the ticket immediately and I got a good seat. It was performed at Akasaka Act Theater. Ryoko Yonekura played the heroin. I like her, but she was not so good when compared with other Broadway’s casts. The story of “CHICAGO” is in 1920s, a woman whose name is Roxie killed her ex-boyfriend. But she doesn’t want to be arrested, so she hire an able lawyer and make up a story. Meanwhile, she becomes famous because of her crime, and reporters treat her like a star. Velma, who also is a murderer and famous, but because of Roxie, her fame would decline. In this musical, they express crime and fame with song, dance and joke. I was impressed by the songs and dances, and laugh at the jokes. I really want to recommend it to everyone to watch. Here is "CHICAGO" official web site.
 



 

Blog#7: My Summer Trip; Northern Europe

     Hi, this is Fumika. Today I’m going to write about my summer trip. I went to northern Europe with my family for 10 days. Even it was summer, northern Europe was cold. Firstly, I visited Oslo, Norway. I could see the famous painting, “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. It wasn’t so big, and there was despair in the painting. Next day, I went to Flam by train. Flam was like a small village and surrounded by beautiful nature. A fish I ate there was really delicious. I board a ferry to go to Bryggen. The ferry would go down some fiords for 5 hours. The fiord was the main purpose of this trip, it was beautiful and magnificent. Secondly, I visited Helsinki, Finland. I enjoyed shopping there. The prices were ever cheaper than Japanese ones, moreover it was sale season. At a market besides the sea, there were many kinds of freshly picked berry. At night, I ate reindeer meet. In Finland, everybody eats it and it was tasty. Lastly, I went to Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm had beautiful old-fashioned buildings. So I enjoyed a walk for many hours, because it was fun that you just walk in the street. Next day, I visited the old town Gamla Stan. I could see the palace and the Diet Building there. I tried a local food called pytt y panna which is made by potatos and beef at a popular café, the taste was a bit iffy for me. Northern Europe is a good place, beautiful nature, many shops and delicious foods, everything are there.
