TV in Japan

Introduction

I am watching TV everyday, so I think TV is very important for my life. I watch during making up, eating, free time. It is necessaries. It is resource, but also there are learn things. It is one of information tool. There are newspaper, cell phone and TV. I think TV is the best easy to understand, because we can see pictures and listen to the sound. I will write about some points on TV.

Qualities

Recently, there are some qualities programs. I think some bad words are flying. It influence for many people. Especially, children are apt to influence. But, it can’t help it. Comedians has to joke evoke a laugh, so it is very difficult program.

Programs

There are many programs, because stations exist. I think each stations has own characteristic. For example, NHK in very serious station, so it is faithfulness. On the hand I think it’s good, it is not funny. The biggest program is ‘Kouhaku Utagassen’. NHK broadcasts every New Year’s Eve. I watch this every year at my home. I like it.

Commercial

There are many commercial. I don’t like commercial, so I often change the program at the commercial time. People are highly susceptible to the influence of commercial, so it is important to select the right people. Recently, cosmetic’s commercial makes me attract. it is very beautiful. And I went to go shopping to buy them. I’m a lucid character.

Cable

There is cable TV in my house. It helps us often in summer, because we watch the Major Leagues Baseball game at TV. It is not broadcast a commercial broadcasting station. It broadcasts only cable TV. The cable TV is worldwide. And it is broadcasting foreign drama. We can study foreign language also.

Conclusion

Finally, I know about TV। I usually watch TV casually. But I thought there are some effects.

Community life


It is very difficult topic… This is my apartment house. It built Kokubu in Kumamoto city.We have a lot of connection between community and our. I live in an apartment house, so I have some rules, customs, and connections and so on. I meet many people in a day. I have a lot of neighboring people. It is very difficult for me to live in a community life.

First, I think that exchange greeting is very important. We pass people on the front of the house. I live in the first floor, so I have to greet people on the here. If I don’t greet people, it is felling bad. I say just the opposite.

Second, there are two caretakers in my apartment house. He manages our apartment house everyday. He cleans the parking, street, entrance room and so on. Our parking lot for bicycles is terrible. There are a lot of bicycles in here, so we can’t park my bicycle at night. But it become clean on the morning, because the caretakers clean everyday. It is wonderful. I appreciate for them.

Finally, there are some rules. We can’t hang out the futon on the wall except first floor. The dogs can’t walk in the apartment house. We can’t noisily. We attend the board of directors regularly. We can’t hit the futon, because it is noisy and flutter the dust. There are more rules. We live in the rules.

I have been living here for 11 years। My community life is all here. I like my apartment house. I think it is important to help each other. And we must obey the rule. The most important thing is a good relationship with neighbors. Then, we can lead a full life. I return my house everyday, so it must comfortable place. It needs effort to each people. Each people make community life.

Toy Story 1


2007/11/11

John A Lasseter (Director)

Edwin Catmull (Producer)

It was my first time that I saw the ‘Toy Story 1’. I was not interested in CG movie. But it is good CG movie. I knew only the name, the reputation and using the toy. The movie which has been widely discusses lately.

This is very good. I think the present technique is high. CG tends to looks cheap movie. This is biggest fault, but it is contrary to popular that. It uses the effect. The toy became main character. This is a catharsis to make my feel better. My complaint against the CG was run out.

Then, toy has mind and move. It is translate dreams into a reality. It is likely story, but it is first movie. It is nice idea!

And, I think the inset song is so good. I think the songs matches well with the world view and a gloomy mood. It is simple content, but it is not fall into a convention. It is new Disney movie.

I felt regret for didn’t watch this in cheater. I had to go to movie cheater. If I watched in the movie cheater, I was fun more.

The character’s voice is a Toshiaki Karasawa and Jyoji Tokoro. I like both men. Especially, I like a Toshiaki Karasawa. I have watched his drama. It is all nice. I think he is versatile man. He does a brilliant performance and has a unique personality. He can do movie actor too. It was surprise for me.

Finally, I had some ideas। I am a human। I am satisfied with my life. But I think toy world has other fun. If I can go other world, I want to go to toy world. And, I want to see human in a different light. I have some toys. They have mind? I have to careful life. It was good movie.
