The color of Mr. Shigeru.

Shigeru Matsuzaki is most popular singer inJapan. His voice is more soulful. However, a lot of Japanese loves his cloying charactor. In fact , his hit song is only "the memory of our love (Japanese title: Ai no memori)".There is the famous point of Shigeru. It is his skin. His skin is too black as Japanese. In Japan, if you will ask "Who is black person?" , someone will answer "I think that it is Shigeru" .  There is a rumor that Shigeru sunburns daily.  

The TV program "the spring of Trivia" arrenged "the way of making his skin color by watercolor". Might not the one such a project never taken up in the United States. How?

The site is written Japanese only. It is written "Shigeru Matsuzaki" the Brown tube. The master of making watercolor dispensed Yellow , Chinese Red , Green & White. By the way, Sakura Creypas is a company of the most famous painting material in Japan. If this can be obtained, you can also easily draw the face of Shigeru Matsuzaki.

It's joking site.

When iTMS opened in Japan, the users of 2 channel bordes bought the song "The memory of our love/Shigeru Matszaki" beforehand. The song acquired 1st place. The song is a song announced for about 30 years in old times. However、Mr.Matszaki always sing his big beauty voice, when he enter some TV program ( variety show). The existence of man who has already sung has a special meaning as a gag. This is a legend made up in his long singer life.

About PM Koizumi's ability as idol star.

Now in Japan, hard election campaigns are to be watched everyday. <BR>
This election is sudden dissolution of the House of Representatives declaration by Koizumi. Many dietmembers(anti postal administration reform) bear a grudge against Koizumi. Kamei, Watanuki, Noda, Kobayashi, Arai etc. They were expelled from The Liberal-Democratic Party because of the difference of thought. Their mistake is just to belittle scary of Koizumi. The fact that Koizumi is an odd person is what the people and the prime minister know well. Half the number of Japanese supports this odd prime minister. I also support Koizumi. I think that Japan is should change. <BR>
Mr. Kamei makes attack to Koizumi everyday. But, he doesn't have refined art of conversation and fashion sense. Therefore, he can't follow it repeating the gaffe. I was surprised his comment at the press conference room for a foreign press. "Koizumi's despotism is more brutal than Hitler. I am a fortune like the Jew sent to the gas chamber. But I will not die." As for man, does the idea ability become duller by the enmity like this?

If a trivial comment is reported every day, Mr. Koizumi is reversely raising the approval rating. Yesterday, he entered the event that the disaster was experienced. He took the earthquake experience car and experienced the shake that equaled a Great Hanshin Earthquake. His comment "The earthquake is scared. Antiearthquake measures are necessary. " Koizumi sais easy comments only. "I reform Japan." "I break bad old systems." "The life is various. The works is also various. The company is also various." "Do you say that I did something a bad thing?"

I will say as a representative of the foolish people. I vote for the person who said it is interesting. Even if the just argument is described, I don't want to hear a difficult politics theory.

Such oracle by the Fortune teller.

The fortune teller advised me, "Put off your important decidion" or "Now, you need to take a rest" . The oracle is very precious for me. But I certain think that the fortune teller said "Put off ..." and "Rest..." last week and the week before last for a long time.

By the way, I am Leo. If the fortune teller says to Cancer, "Hurry up your decidion!!" or "Right now!!", As for Leo, an important post is preceded by Cancer. Then I thought whether I was going to check the horoscope of all constellations. But If only Leo is said " Rest..." and all other is said "Hurry up ..." , I am awfully disappointed. Thus I stopped to check the other horoscope. I was known the truth that I didn't want to know. It is the truth that I am quite Chicken.

I am a lacquer ware maker.

Today, I explain about my work.Because I must review my English lesson until next class. Doing my homework is done just now. Thus, I begin writing about my factory & the work.

I am from Kyoto, Japan. I majored in sociology education field at the Univercity, but I entered the special school of the lacquer ware making again. Now I work for my father's factory. Our factory has 1Boss and 1apprentice. The factory is located in Kyoto Japan. We make and repare lacquor ware. But We waited for some orders. It was good up to now even so. I think that it is difficult to continu the work by current way because the social environment and person's thinking changed. I narrowed choises to two. The first choices, sell it a lot making a lot of bargains. Another one, sell good quality lacquer ware for those who love about lacquer ware. I chose the latter. I think that at first, I study English and I appeal to the fan of Japan traditional on the internet. Maybe, We must not persist in ancient custom. It doesn't mean flattery.


Next, please let me explain our commodity. My father has high quality technology concerning the lacquering. So he has made the lacquer ware that have used in Japanese traditional tea celemony(Sadou, cha-no-yu). Now, my father is making the Natsume (;tea powder case) for tea ceremony head of a school. This is very honored among workperson in Japan. But a lot of person can't buy it because such commodity is very expencive.

If so, I only have to make the commodity that even a general person can enjoy. At first, I lacquered rabbits and frogs on my snare drum. I am a drummer in another side. My music companions were very envied for the lacquering. The lacquer is painted to any one except on glass and mirror. Wood, steel, earthenware, plastic, leather...and so on. This might belong to the idea of reform. I picked up the lacpuered PC in last column. Because that is splay technology, parhaps, elegance must be different from the handmade commodity. It is difficult to distinguish splay tech from handmade only photo. But If you confirm it touching, you will understand the difference. It is the best difficult point to make the people who do not know lacquer ware touch first once.
