probably,

it might be a good day today. I know the next typhoon is coming. It is raining, already. And it is so cooler than yesterday. I'm listening the music 'alone'. It is also nice as the environment of today. Everything seems to be disappearing into the air. I'm drinking a cup of coffee. It is so tasty. Thanks.
Now, I'm listening to "you are not the only one" by Mai Kuraki. It is one of my favorite songs. This song has taght me what the hip hop music is. So I listened to this by the "repeat one" mode of iTunes.The contents of the song is pretty and a bit different from the title.

This song is, like most Japanese songs, mixed with English lyrics. So the singer 'Mai Kuraki' and some wrappers are sing Japanese and English song and wrap. They did that so fast. That's very interesting.

it's a surre day.

I don't know what day it is. I think I just spent my day usually. I went to the staba cafe near the nearest station. I was able to spend around two hours over there. Then I returned to the parking lot of the public library.
I didn't drop in at another place. I just went through the road in front of the high school. It might be a fantasy.

before noon

I'd like to go out around this noon. I plan to go to some spots in Osaka city district. It is one of the beautiful city.
Recently, I got a good camera, and I'd like to try using that. Before that, I need a piece of DV tape. There is a good electric hardware store in front of the nearest station. The small trip may become good one, I think.

By the way, I found some nice blogs in the world. I'll show you them in the near future. I enjoyed most of them.

September 24, 2004

what is that?

I also browsed some blogs in English. There are a lot of people writing their thoughts. It is interesting, but...,

From a Japanese view point, most of their sites were too individual. When I visited San Francisco last summer, I felt that so much. I saw a lot of people who had excessive self-consciousness, especially in the younger people.
When I stayed there almost eight years ago, I didn't felt like that so much as the stay at the last year. Their self-consciousness seemed to be stronger and stronger every year.
Because I'm an ordinary Japanese who lives in Japan I don know whether that is good for US people theirselves, or not. But I think that it became more difficult to live just as an ordinary person. 

Let me say that concretely over here.

You may see such scene on tv or something as many interviewers makes some questions to an famous actor or actress. How do you think why they ask him or her so much earnestly? I think that is just because that is their business. If they record the talk of the actor on papers or videotapes and edited that to send to their editors, they can make living.
On the other hand, if a person makes some question to a person, that situation is not of their business. So the relationship between the persons was usually flat.
But if a person thinks that he or she is as great as a famous movie star or professional baseball player, he or she thinks that it is natural to ask some questions to him or her. In such process, their relation is being divided. If you think that the others should ask me first, the other person also thinks like that. As a result of that, nobody talks to anybody at first. That attitude will never make good relationship among people.

What is happening in Japan? I don know. But, I think, the things I wrote here may be one of the largest points between eastern and western culture. Those points might perplex especially people from the other sides.

Finally,

I think the new autumn will also have come to my city. It is already. Probably yesterday is the last day that the temperature increased to more than 30 degrees centigrade (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
It is so cool. Most insects in my room seems to have gone. If the temperature becomes more than thirty degrees Japanese people say that is a real summer day (manatsubi). In this year Osaka had more than 89 real summer days. That seems to have broken the meteorological record of the city.

a curve ball

it is a dizzy Sunday. I took a nap for around three hours. I'm still sleepy at all. And I know that in some countries Sunday is now just beginning now.
I will sleep again from now on because that nap is not enough for me. Last night, I stayed up all night and some customers came in the afternoon.
There is also no baseball game as yesterday. I'd like to spend my time in front of TV with hope and despair. I like 'Hanshin Tigers' and the team may be in B class (less than four degree of six team of the central league). I know some rumor that a nice pitcher of the team will go to the major league baseball in the next year. That is one of the turning points of the team.

September 18, 2004

anyhow,

i wrote something about last summer in my Japanese weblog. It might be better than usual pages.
I'm driking somd coffee which I made at this breakfast. It was one of very tasty one. It is already nine o'clock in the night, and it was so quiet over here.
One of my favoite musical album 'Portlait in jazz' ia making my time in my small room.
Today, because of the strike of Japanese baseball, my favorite team 'Hanshin Tigers' doesn't play game.
But, mysteriously, this night is going on as if nothing happened. The music surrounding me is storongly going on.

well,

first of all, it is not so easy to keep blogging every day. But I would like to try it as much as I can.
Today, the strike of Japanese baseball was decided. It was the first one in Japanese baseball history of more than seventy years. I don know what effect this incident makes. I'm just waiting for the tomorrow to come.
Right now, I want to spend my time of two hours for reading. I'm going to go to the family restaurant which is open for 24 hours a day. I'm listening to the music of John Coltrane "Live at the Village Vanguard: The Master Takes". It was one of my favorite musical albums.

September 15, 2004

Oh yeah,

Anyway, this is my blog. I'm looking for any interesting one. But I still didn't find it.
I know there are many ones, but sometimes those were difficult or too long for me.

It was very quiet night over here, and so long night, too.
Most music were over, and I changed to listen to another ones. I have long hours.

matcha Frappuccino

This is also one of the English blogs in the world. I don know how man sites there is. Probably, a lot.

It was still hot in the western part of Japan. I'm looking for the time to sleep. It might be far. Tonight, I'm also waiting for the daybreak. I don think I can sleep before I see the light. It might be the light of hope.

Listening to the music, I'm just waiting.
I'd like to drink matcha Frappuccino. It is very good. I like this one. But probably, this is Japanese region special menu.
First of all, this matcha is from Uji in Kyoto. Uji is one of the famous places of Japanese green tea. Uji matcha is the flavor of this Frappuccino.
I’ve understood the reason why matcha Frappuccino is so tasty. I like this one. I'd like to go to buy another one tomorrow. Thank you.

flash?

I need to know much more about 'flash' software. I'm not sure about this one. Probably I have to get a book of this. But I would try to use this soft for the time being.
Today, I saw a couple of a foreigner and a Japanese girl. They talked to each other very much. There were some customers. Most of them were reading something or study with some concentration. The music on air in the shop were some familiar jazz. I like such atmosphere. I was drinking some coffee in the cup. If I bring the cup to the shop the shopper reduce the price by twenty-yen. I can save such anytime.
I spent ninety minutes or more over there. When I returned to the parking lot it was almost eleven. I just paid two-hundred yen on the machine of the management.
Probably because the coffee was too strong I felt dizzy a lot. I got two cups of water from the shopper. But that didn't seem to be enough.

September 12, 2004

If you are

Going, going, I was going somewhere. I didn't know where it was. But, anyway, I was going to some place in the world. I didn't notice what I was doing.
It is one of the scenes of my dream which I saw. Probably because the night hours became longer and longer, my sleep also became a bit longer.
I don seemingly like the night, acutally. I like daybreak. I'm just waiting for the time to come. My room has the window pane of frosted glasses. It was still dark, and didn't have any color. I'm just waiting for the dawn. I think I sitll need two more hours.

Autumn

It is already Autumn over here. How about is your place?
It is pretty cool. I think I have already got out of the hot nights. A sort of music made me feel in the mellow mood. Pretty good. I am sleepy, actually because it is pretty cool night. I got a good mail from a lucky girl. And I also felt I'm also lucky.

September 9, 2004

so nice

I'm listening to the new CD by Utada. Its title is "Exodus". This is amazing music. Because I live in Japan I can have bought this CD at September eighth. Probably this will be in store at Octobeber fifth in US.
Probably, she will be 'Ichiro' in the musical world.

September 5, 2004

process or not?

Threre might be the tendency that the process was taken more importantly than the conclusion. I thought that the web itself wasn't ripen yet.
When you read a book, do you have more interest in the paper than the story? The condtion of the web was still in such. I don like it, but I would never be in such way.

It hailed heavily around here at about three o'clock in the afternoon. It stopped after thirty-minutes' raining. And now, it was very nice eveining. The sun reapperead among the crowds.

What am I

What am I thinking? I'd always like to write that on something like this. I'm listening, and I've already written my thought in Japanese because that was natural for me.
While I'm listening to this music I want to find something in me. Although with this, I think that I'm listening to another music in my mind. Am I ditracted? Maybe or maybe not.

this is ...

Because of the reducing of the number of hit of the page he made some countermeasure. He put a piece of picture and music on the page. After a short break he checked the number of the hit. The counter showed the digit 2. That was maybe the minimum number. He knew that. But he had to start at such number, and he couldn’t stop it at all. He was just in his room. He needed to take a bath.

something

I don know what I should writed over here. It might be difficult if I don have anything about something.
It was seven-thirty in the afternoon. I am just in my room in front of my laptop. Because I took late breakfast I didn't have dinner yet. I don have plan to go out tonight. I would do something just in fornt of this laptop.
