Lolita Fashion Presentation

Hello, everyone. What kind of fashion do you like? I like Lolita fashion the best. I'll introduce it. It's one of Japanese subcultures. There are various opinions about the fashion. Some people think that it's "kosupure" and dislike it. The other people don't think that and like it so much. The latter is fans of the fashion. Of course, I'm one of the fans. I love Lolita fashion because it' so cute. It has a lot of cute items. It was made in Japan, but there are the fans in some foreign countries, too.

First, I'll introduce the history. In the 1970s, "MILK," which is a fashion brand, was made. It's called "Lolita's origin" latter. It had made cute clothes for idols, but ordinary people started to wear, too. Then, "Jane Marple" was made by Megumi Murano in 1985. It also creates cute clothes. In addition, indie brands appeared. They made unique and so cute clothes. In the beginning of 1990s, the category of Lolita fashion was completed.

Then, there are many brands of Lolita fashion in Japan. For example, BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT, Innocent World, Angelic Pretty, Mary Magdalene, and Victorian maiden. I like "Innocent World" the best. BABY is famous for the movie "Shimotsuma story." The main character wore clothes of the brand, and it became popular. In addition, the fashion has various kinds. For example, sweet Lolita, classical Lolita, and black Lolita. I like classical Lolita the best.

Lolita fashion is introduce to overseas. Who introduce the fashion? It's pop culture communicates. They were appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and introduce Japanese woman's fashion abroad. Misako Aoki, who is one of them, introduces Lolita fashion abroad. She is a nurse and fashion model. And, there are the fans all over the world.

Some people want to wear the fashion, but they can't do because prices of the clothes of Lolita brands are usually expensive. However, Lolita fashion is easier than you expect because it's also one of fashion. So, I have the solution. If you wear Lolita fashion easily, you should buy clothes in shops except for Lolita brands. The left picture is an example. There isn't Lolita brands. If you wear a flared skirt, a frilly blouse, an under skirt like the right picture, cute hair accessories, you can wear the fashion. You don't have to get expensive clothes when you wear it. Shall we try Lolita fashion?

Thank you!

My favorite music

My favorite music is J-pop, foreign music, classic, and animation songs. I like various music. My favorite singer is Avril Lavigne. Her music makes me cheerful. Her music is wonderful, but I became her fan when her 4th album was produced. I watched her singing on TV then and I got interested in her. Then, I borrowed her 3rd album in the rental CD shop near my house, and I listened to the CD. I liked her songs very much. When her 4th album was produced, I bought it soon. I also like her songs in it very much. Moreover, I like animation songs, too. They are very cute songs and sometimes so funny. I enjoy singing them in Karaoke.

Mr. Bean

It was raining and thundering. Mr. Bean entered the messy room with rope. He turned on the light, took out his stuffed animal, and talked to it. He brought a small umbrella to it because it rained outside. He also took an umbrella for himself and he opened it, but it was broken. He got a paper written "9:00" and a picture of mouth.

In fact, he dreamed then! His alarm clock went off, but he put it into water. He was sleeping. Next, water flowed through a hose. To my surprise, he stopped flowing water with his foot, sleeping. After a short time, he got up suddenly, his eyes closed. He bumped against the wall. He opened his eyes and did strange gymnastics. His nose was caught by his electric shaver when he was shaving. It escaped from it. He took the hanger and it had the paper which appeared in that dream. He took out the clock from water and hung it. He remembered what to do something suddenly, started to hurry, and he went out of his room, having his cloths.  Somehow, he entered it. He put the quiet over his stuffed animal on his bed, and then he went out of his room again.

He ran and rode a car. He drove it and knocked something around it. Driving, he changed his clothes. He turned the steering wheel with his feet meanwhile. He turned around a same spot again and again until he finished wearing his necktie and shoes. Moreover, he would brush his teeth in the car! He was turning the steering wheel with his mouth until he finished doing them. He gargled with water a car shoots. He spat the water in his mouth outside. It splashed a man's hip. His car pushed a parking car and parked his car at the place the car had parked before. He got out of it and he came across a police officer. His pajama appeared from zipper of a pair of trousers. He put it in his car and he went to the dentist.

In the dental clinic, he operated the chair used there by himself while the dentist didn't see him. He played with instruments of the dentist while he didn't do. The dentist's leg was stuck into by the injection of an esthesia, so his legs shook and he fell. He started to treat his teeth by himself. At last, the dentist got up and Mr. Bean went out because he finished treating.

Good points and Bad points

I presented the result of the questionnaires about romance with the members of my group in the speaking class yesterday. The members are Marika, Yuki, and I.  I'm giving good points and bad points. First of all, one of good points is our presentation was going along fairly well in spite of making arrangements little. Then, all of the members could pull each own weight while we gave the presentation. Bad points are we were late for preparing it and couldn't make arrangements, so we couldn't speak fluently in the first half of the presentation time. I will make a plan for a presentation neatly next so that I will be able to make a wonderful one.

Romance

I announced the result of questionnaires about romance with the members of my group in speaking class. They are Marika Yasuda and Yuki Matsumoto. We wrote the result of questionnaires about romance on the vellum only today. We only had classified the data and thought of the layout. We had decided to gather at the study room in the library this morning and write the result on the vellum, but all the members were late. To make matters worse, we didn't have vellum before this morning. We tried to buy it in Maruzen, but it closed. It usually opens 10:00 a.m., so we couldn't buy vellum soon. It was about at ten that we started writing the result on vellum. We decorated it by turns because of our taking class. After all, we announced the result in speaking class without making arrangements.

This is the result. I'll introduce it to you. Respondents are only women.
Q1. Do you have a boyfriend now? The number of "Yes" and that of "No" are almost same. The former is a little less than the latter.
Q2. Did you have boyfriend? The number of "Yes" is large. That's great! Many people experienced romance.
Q3. Did you declare your love for him? The number of No is large. I guess a lot of women are shy or men are positive.
Q4. Do you think your boyfriend is more important than your friends? There are most women who think her friends are more important than him. I think my boyfriend is more important than my friends, but, of course, I think my friends are also very important. Don't misunderstand! By the way, I questioned some boys about the question. They all answered "Yes." I guess there are difference between men and women.
Q5. Do you want to be loved rather than love? The popular answer is "Yes." I also choose the answer, but I respect a little people who want to love rather than be loved because I don't think that people can think that easily.
Q6. Which is his good person? Many women chose "kind."
Q7. How long have you associated with him? The most popular answer is "Under three months."
Q8. When did you kiss for the first time? Many women chose "about one week."
Q9. What do you want him to be the most? A lot of women chose "kind." Do you remember the most popular answer of Q6? It is also "kind." That is very important.
Q10. What do you do if your boyfriend has an affair? Many women people said, "We'll break up with him." Some people said, "We'll forgive him." The reason is various, but the most popular reason is that they think they may also have bad points in themselves.
Q11. What do you think you can't allow his behavior? The most popular answer is hiding a fact.
Q12. What do you think of your boyfriend if he takes a bath once three times? It's a funny question. The most popular answer is "I don't want to approach him." The second popular answer is "I make him take a bath compulsorily." I think the answer is good. There is a funny answer, too. It is that "It's OK if he takes a bath before dating with me."

We told ad lib during announcing in speaking class. That was so hard for us, but I had good experience today because I heard presentations of other group and could know a lot of interesting information.

How to Choose the Right Career

I found the video in EnglishCentral. I chose it because I wanted to know how to choose the Right Career. I haven't decided what career I want. I thought the video would give me a hint about that. After I finished watching it, I felt that choosing a career I wanted was difficult because it needed bravery. However, we will be able to get bright future if we have bravery or get. I don't think I should just seek stability for a career. I guess there are many students who can't decide their own career in the future. I recommend you to watch the video. It may give you a hint about your future career.

Carl Goes Up





I found this video in EnglishCentral. It is a part of the movie, "Carl Goes Up." I wanted to watch it, but I haven't done. Has it been broadcasted on TV yet? I guess it has been done. I'm interested in the movie because I heard it really moved. Hayao Miyazaki, who is a famous artist, really liked the first ten seconds of it and adimired. In addition, the characters are so cute. I want to watch it on TV. I wish it would be broadcasted again. Have you watched it yet? Tell me your impression of it if you have done it.
