Blog#10: TV commarcial

Hello, I'm Kyoko. This time, I would like to introduce a TV commercial broadcasted at the first time in Japan.

 

This is a commercial of Hattiri clock store which is Seiko company now. It was broadcasted on August 28th in 1953. However, then some trouble happened and it appeared for 30 seconds without any sound on TV. A staff didn't use an instrument well, and he has taken the film in reverse. Thus some people say we should not think of this commercial the first one in Japan.

In this commercial, a chicken walk to a clock and wind a spring of the back of one. After the chicken and clock smile to each other, the clock goes off at 7:00.
During this description, a narrator sais "This is Japan TV. Please wind a spring of clock at certain time with silent. The clock of Seikousya shows you seven o'clock". (Seikousya is a part of Hattori clock store's section.)

This commercial was made about 60 years ago, so we can't see interesting ideas like modern one. However, the product in this commercial, Commet Flower made of plastic, sold well. I think the little chicken attracted interest of many people.

Blog#9: The Internet advertising

Hello, I'm Kyoko. In this time, I will introduce the Internet advertising and its advantage and disadvantage.

Advertising on Internet is generally called the Internet advertising or online advertising and it means advertisement through pay media. With increasing of the Internet user, online advertising have also advanced. Why do people use the Internet to advertise? There are several advantages.

The first advantage is that you can find only information which you want to know. On TV commercial, you get too much information you don't need then, but on the Internet, you can look for just information you need. The second advantage is that you can order goods soon after you look an advertising. For example, when you want to a computer and get a catalog about it, you have to call or visit the store. However, on the Internet advertising, you can buy the computer only by clicking a button. It doesn't so much time and is so easy. Finally, when you make a page to advertise, you can know responses of who look the page and order some goods. Besides you can communicate with them through the Internet. These merits will lead to making better advertising.

While there are some advantages, there are several disadvantages. The first demerit is that these information have less confidence. As anyone can offer advertising on the Internet, there is also a lot of false and exaggerated information. Thus it is difficult for you to judge whether they are correct or not. Next, the Internet is technologically a developing media, so even if someone lay out a wonderful page, everyone can not look it as what it is.

Now as more people use the Internet, I think, when these demerits are improved, the Internet advertising will be able to be better for us to get information quickly and help our life.

Blog #10: Interesting TV commercial

Hi, I'm Saori. Today, I'm introducing a TV commercial of AURIS. It's one of products of TOYOTA.

At the beginning of the commercial, a beautiful woman who wears only an underwear and a jacket is just walking like on a catwalk. She takes her jacket to be topless with walking and turns around to us by AURIS. Finally, we find she is not a woman but a man.

By this TV commercial, TOYOTA wants to say that the product is more creative than others and they beyond common sense. I chose this TV commercial as a topic of this blog because it has a higher impact than any others. You must get surprised when the woman takes her jacket off to be naked and when you noticed she is a man. That is also an interesting point. This TV commercial is very effective for people who get tired of usual TV commercial. People usually don't like time of TV commercials, so they often don't care the contents. Though, this TV commercial attracts to them by the impact. Also, I think it's impossible to understand what TV commercials want to say only for 15 minutes,  but AURIS's TV commercial has a high impact and makes people want to know about the product and search it on the internet or other medias. In my opinion, this advertising suceeds in attracting people's interest in the product and makes people enjoy TV CM in itself.

Blog #10: TV Commercial

    This is Junsei. Recently it’s really getting cold and we have to be careful not to catch cold.

    Today I want to tell you about the Japanese interesting TV commercial.

It’s “ACUO”, product of chewing gum by ROTTE company.

    The stories are about a guy who has an offensive breath annoys humans and animals.

There’re several stories of him, the first one is that when the man was swimming in a sea, a big shark showed up out of the blue. The man was surprised and tried to escape from it, he rode up to the boat. The people on that boat dived into the sea when that man gasped on that boat. Then the big shark attacked him from the sea, however, the shark fainted and went back to the sea when the man breathed.  

アクオーACUO　海編

ビジネス編

      I think this is really interesting and this can happen to me in daily life, off course this situation never happens though.

This product has series of stories and I enjoyed watching all of them.

 

      The interesting point is that everybody can have a mouth odor, so we really need to care about our mouth and the trouble is that we sometimes cannot realize ourselves. This man is one of who cannot realize odor of his breath. What is more, these TV commercial are appealing the fear of mouth odor by exaggerating the situation.

     In the second story, it is geared to business situations. We can realize it’s important to be careful with our mouth particularly in business by watching this TV commercial. So I can evaluate in this point. But this TV commercial cannot make it clear how their products are different from other breath-care gum products. So people who watched this TV commercial including me will buy mint gum for our breath, but we may not choose this ACUO because there’re a great many of products in shops.   

 

　

    There're products that appeal a cool package like "KISS-MINT" and a long-keep mint flavor like "crolets", so ACUO should also make it different from these competitive gums.

   

Blog #9: Movie Advertising

Hi, I'm Saori. Do you know a serial animation movie called Neon Genesis Evangelion? (新世紀エヴァンゲリヲン)　The animation is very popular with not only young people but also adults in Japan. The third of the series is released next month. The company that made this movie, called  GAINAX, has tied up with other companies to advertise it. This is a product of a pharmaceutial company called Santen Seiyaku. (参天製薬)

 

 

It's an eyelotion colored like robots of Evangelion.

 

 

*This is usual one!

 

 

Also, GAINAX started advertising with a tavern company named Monteroza. If you have same name with one of Evangelion characters, Monteroza gives you discounts. Besides it, anyone who enjoy drink and food at a tavern of this company can get a coaster printed a character of Evangelion.

 

 

Like that, GAINAX keeps advertising until the movie is released. I think it is very effective to advertise a product with stuff that we use in daily life. Actually, I want to watch this movie at a theater.

Blog #9: Pocket Tissue Advertising

    Hi, I'm Junsei. I got a cold but it is lucky we do not have the classes on Friday. This time, I will write about the interesting advertising in Japan. I suppose most of you have ever seen the people giving you a portable tissue paper smilingly near the station. We Japanese call this "pocket tissue" but I'm not sure it is correct. I cannot find the word for it so I will use "pocket tissue" to call them.
    When I use the station to go to the college, I can get pocket tissue with advertising many times a week. In many cases, I use these pocket tissues without trying to see the advertising on it. But the advertising naturally come in my sight when using tissue. But they are always advertisings about the insurance or bank.
    Do you know how much it takes you to advertise with pocket tissues? It's only 4yen per pocket tissue according to the website here. http://www.pt-honpo.com/info/target.html
You need to hire a person to hand them out, it's maybe 8,000yen.(￥1,000/hour) So if you need a thousand of pocket tissues and 1person to hire, it only takes you 12.000yen a day for advertising.
Even if there's other extra charge, it's done with 15.000yen a day.
    I've learned the price of an advertising in weekly magazine and found it is extremly expensive.
This pocket tissue advertising makes the viewers very limited, but you can do with so limited money. This Tissue Advertising is really good for the local companies to advertise, for example, a private managed companies such as cram school, supermarket and cake shop. The person who distributes pocket tissues should be able to decide that what kind of people he or she gives the advertising.
    I really don't know how effective this advertising is, but now that I learned how much they cost money to advertise and the reason I am given the pocket tissues is to notice the companies on them, I will be careful to receive them with saying "Thank you".

Blog#6: LINE

Hello, this is Kyoko. Today, I'll talk about one of social networking services, LINE.

 

 

As you know, LINE is an application for computers and smart phones, and we can communicate with various people all over the world as it translate into Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese. So,many people use it and according to a survey in August 17th, 2012, LINE is used in 231 countries and there are 55,000,000 users in the world and 25,000,000 users in Japan. Why does it come to be used by a lot of people? There are three main reasons, I think.

  At first, we can exchange messages very quickly. LINE is like a chat, so we don't need opening messages as e-mail and we can check and return them soon. The second reason is that we can use various stamps. We are able to express our feelings which we can't show by just words.

 

 

The final reason is that we can talk with LINE at free, so when we want to talk with our friend for long time, it is more useful than a telephone. For these advantages, LINE provides us more smooth communication on network.

 

 

Blog #8:Okinawa

    Hello, this is Junsei. Today I want to write about a trip to Okinawa during this summer vacation. Have you ever been to Okinawa?  I went there to see my friends who are students in Okinawa. It's been about 5years since  the last time we've met. I only went to areas adjacent to Naha because I made this trip so suddenly.
    Talking of Okinawa, what images do you get? I can image the beautiful sea, nice seafood, resort islands surrounding Okinawa and the time that makes me feel it's passing slowly. I also can image a samisen. The tone from it is quite beautiful and I feel a great sensation. I once got instruction of how to play a samisen, but I almost forgot. It's pretty easier than playing a guitar though.
    The weather was not so good, it's almost always cloudy during my stay. I went to the beautiful beach and the local restaurants and the local market. Friends taught me some places that are not introduced on the guidebooks, but it's boring enough to let  me feel down.
     At night we enjoyed drinking, I don't like "Awamori" but there were 2bottoles of  Awamori and we were so crazy to try to finish them. Naturally I spoiled the next day because my brain didn't work.

     I want to go Okinawa again. This is so beautiful sea but it's cloudy.

    In residential areas, there're stones engraved words "Ishigantou" in many places. Do you know what this object means and used for? It was used the same way as "Shi-Sa-", I don't know how to say in English, maybe "a little lion-figured object used to save people and houses from monsters". The monsters were not able to turn left or right at the corner, so people in Okinawa built these stones at the corner in residential areas. So if you find this stone in the city, maybe that city was built in the place where there was once an old residential area. (Because it's not good to break this stone)  

Blog #7: Indonesia

    Hi, I'm Junsei. I'll report that I went to Indonesia with my family in 28th August for 5days. My mother and sister separated from us to go to Bali, my father and I went to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia.
     It's unsafe for Japanese to walk alone there especially at night, so we totally moved together everywhere we went. The purpose to go such a dangerous place was to see the factories. In Indonesia, almost every cars are made-in-Japan like TOYOTA, DAIHATU and HONDA. I saw a non-Japanese car only 5times or less. So demands for Japanese cars have rapidly been increased.  And many companies have advanced to Indonesia. I saw many factories were being built.
    The people in Jakarta are 28years of age on average, so I always could see young people, but many seemed poor, jobless. But by setting up many factories, it creates needs of workers. There were always traffic jams in the expressway when going to industrial area and coming back to city.
    We can't see the people who came as tourists, but only for business. Local people usually can't speak English. Even if someone can speak English, it's so hard to listen because of accent.
    We had a dinner with the Indonesian exectives who operate the companies and I could have a chance to use English. I made it, so I thought English was very important all over the world to communicate. This was totally pretty good trip for me.

              I thought how much we drive a car safely in Japan, because the people there are so rough to drive.

Blog #8: Fort Lauderdale

Hi, I'm Saori!In this summer, I stayed for a month in Fort Lauderdale to study English. Do you know this city? Fort Lauderdale is one of the cities in Florida.

I think there are not many Japanese people who know this city. Actually, I hadn't ever known even the name untill my advisor told me. Fort Lauderdale has great weather through a year and great views, so very popular as winter resort among people who live U.S especially rich ones.  In addition to it, Fort Lauderdale is located very close to Miami and has the airport, so it's very easy to travel to there. This might be one of reasons why this city is popular in America. Though, it's not easy for Japanese because it takes about 18 hours from Japan, and we have to change planes at another airport. That's why, this city isn't very known in Japan, but I recommend this city to you guys.We can enjoy great weather, many beautiful beaches, shopping at huge malls or something that we can't experience in Japan. I'm sure you spend great time at Fort Lauderdale!

 

 

 

 

Blog#8: Lovely cat

 Hello, I'm Kyoko. Recently a baby cat came to my grandmother's home.

She is named Fuzuki  because she came to my grandmother's home in July and in Japan, people call July Fuzuki in an old age. She is called Fuchan by my family and She is so little and sooo cute!! As he is just baby cat, she loves playing with us. When I go grandmother's house,  I always play with her. She responds to not a foxtail, called nekojarashi in Japanese, but anything that move. For example, she runs after even my hand if I move exaggeratedly. Though I like looking her funny behavior, I became happiest when I look her sleeping.





A cat usually sleeps with its body curled up. However she often sleeps with her body stretched. It is very fun for me.

She makes me happy, whenever I go to grandmother's home.

Blog#7: Ohedo onsen monogatari

  Hello, I'm Kyoko Hasegawa. This time, I'll tell you my memory of this summer vacation. I went to Ohedo Onsen Monogatari in Daiba last month with my friends. In this place, you can enjoy taking a hot spring bath, foot bath and shopping. In very wide sparing bath, there are various temperature bathes, open-air bath and sauna. Besides, around footbath, which is in like a garden of the building, there are sandbath, stone sauna and fish therapy. I took only a footboth this time, but you can also enjoy them if we pay some money. Inside of the building, various traditional stores are located in a line and I become mysterious feeling as if I come to a Japanese ennichi or festival.

 I enjoyed many things there, but the point I was most pleased was that I could enter the building wearing a yukata. I could choose a favorite yukaga from some kinds and I walked around there wearing the yukata. It was very interesting for me and made me become feeling which I went back an old era.
  If you have some interests by reading this blog, I recommend going there. You can relux and enjoy talking with your friends long time taking very confortable bathes.

Blog #7: Movie

Hi! I'm Saori. In this week, I went  to the movies and watched new movie in this summer. It's named Okami-kodomo no Ame to Yuki. (おおかみこどもの雨と雪)

It's a Japanese animation. The story is about a woman who got married to a werewolf and got two children of half wolf. After her husband's death, she decided to bring up the children by herself without someone's help.
This movie has not only good story but many beautiful pictures like this.

Through all this movie, I was moved to tears because of the touching story and awesome pictures. As you know, there are many masterpieces of animation in Japan. I think this work is one of them. You should see this movie in this summer! It's sure that you like it!

Blog#6: Sumo

    Hello, I'm Junsei Goseki. Today I want to introduce one of the Japanese cultures, Sumo.

Sumo is a popular international sport in Japan and it has history and tradition that is really being preserved as same style since it started.

    When you do Sumo, two people stand face to face in about 2meters distance, then you have to get your hand on the ground, taking forwarded-posture.

When a referee that called “Gyo-ji” in Sumo says ‘Miatte-Miatte, hakkeyo-I nokotta!’, you start fighting your competitor. You win if you take down your counterpart on the ground. You lose if you touch the ground by your hand, knee or part of your body. The only thing that you are allowed on the ground is your foot.

You can’t kick or punch your person though you can push or throw him out.

You have a limit in your field called “Dohyo”. It is written by Kanji like this: 土俵.

Sumo-field has “土” that means soil or mud and the Sumo wrestler have to fight there.

“俵” means bundles of straw. If you are beyond this “Dohyo” that limit your field, you lose.

So it means you’ll win when you push out your person out of “Dohyo”.

Sumo-wrestler have to wear “Mawashi”. It’s hard to explain what it is,,, it’s simply pant for the professional Sumo-wrestler. They rap cloth around their waist and hip.

So you can hold their “Mawashi” to throw him out.

    However, it’s not so easy to throw the body whose weight is over 150kg.

You need technique and also need to use your brain how to beat your person.

If you go push too much, they use your power and you get disadvantage.

Sumo is not a sport just like pushing people out, it’s a really intelligent sport.

    When you want to watch Sumo, you can go to the Ryogoku Kokugi-kan in Ryo-goku station.

    

    And this is my favorite film. It’s really funny and the story is about college students so good to watch. "Shiko-Hunjatta".

You also can know more about Sumo. There is an exchanged student in the film from British and we can know how foreign people think about Sumo. 

     I don't know about history of Sumo, so you can know about history here.

Blog #6: Tripadvisor

Hi! I'm Saori Nakagawa. Let me introduce about one of my favorite social media.
It's called Tripadvisor.

Tripadvisor is a community for tourists. In this community, we share experiences of some trip that we've ever taken and help each other plan next trip.

For example, if you want to visit and stay somewhere you don't know well, you put the name of place into the page, and the list of many hotels, restaurants or most popular places there with reviews and rating that other users posted before are showed.

 It is sure that it helps you find comfortable, enjoyable places. In addition to it, you can also post photos and see ones of others. There are many nice photos in this community, so I think all of us, not only tourists, can enjoy this site. We can feel as if we went to some places where we have never visited  by seeing the experiences and photos. This site also used as app for free. I use it when I visit anywhere. If you want to experiment what you never have, I recommend you to visit this site. Get the truth, then go!

Blog#2: Takarazuka

Hello, I'm Kyoko. In this time I want to tell you about Takarazuka. On May 24, I went looking to a play of the snow class of Takarazuka with my friends. We could get the tickets for free because a teacher of European world's history asked her friend who belonged to fan club. Fortunately, the seats of tickets were S on the second floor! Thus we could look over whole of the stage from there. Though I watched their play in European world's class on DVD, the live play was quite different. Their performances were all wouderful such as play, song, dance and costume. Of course they were all women, but women who played men looked like real men in the meantime. I was very impressed in their performances, so I want to go looking their stage again in the near term.

Blog #5: Hotel Marques de Riscal

Hi! I'm Saori Nakagawa.
Let me introduce about one of the Frank O. Gahry's works, Hotel Marques de Riscal. The building is located in Elciego, in the Rioja region of Spain.

The hotel was built in 2006. As the name implies, the building is used as a hotel. The roof is called Gehry's wing. Do you know why the roof was colored like this? The area where Hotel Marques is located has been known for production of wine that good tastes, and the hotel also has winery. So, the roof was colored mixture of red and purple associated with a color of wine.

A view from the restaurant is very good. Not only people who stay at Hotel Marques but just visit the winery can enjoy lunch or dinner at the restaurant that is located the top floor of the hotel with enjoying their good tasting wine and the fantastic view. I want to visit and stay Hotel Marques sometime!

Blog#4: EMP Museum

Hello, this is Kyoko. I chose EMP Museum, Experience Music Project Museum, from many of  Franc Gehry's works because I was attracted by its shape when I looked at the picture.

This architecture is in Seattle, and was founded in 2000. This picture is its view from the Seattle Center. This museum is a place where you can see the history and exploration of popular music in the Pacific Northwest. For example, there are many exhibits of Jimi Hendrix. (He was a musician who brought musical evolution in Seattle.) Besides, you can also enjoy making your original music video and CD and trying real live.

At first, when I looked at the pictures of EMP Museum, I thought it was like building covered with clothes of white, red and blue. However, researching the architecture, I saw that it is wonderful buildhing for people who love music. There are many exhibits such as guitar and gallery of Jimi Hendrix, great musician in Seattle, so probably people who is fan of Jimi will also enjoy a lot. I'm interested in music, too, so I want to go there if I have a chance to visit Seattle.

Blog #4 :AGO

   Hi, I’m Junsei Goseki. This time I’ll introduce the Frank Gehry’s latest work,

‘Art Gallery of Ontario’, which people usually call it ‘AGO’ in short.
It is located in Toronto, ON M5T 1G4, Canada.
I can see China town and Victoria University near this museum on the Geogle Map and it’s really attractive to me, To imagine that we have such a beautiful art museum near our university, it’s so wonderful.

    This has been used for museum since it was opened in 1900.
In November 2008, it was under construction for expansion of building and Frank
Gehry was assigned to take charge of this project.
Though Frank was born in Toronto, this was his first work in Canada, this is also his latest work. It’s reopened in November 2008, it took only 3days that sixty eight thousand people visited here with the service that offered free-charge admission and extended its open hours.

    About exhibitions, AGO is famous for its abundant collections of Canadian art, Inuit and Native art from past and present. For other representative art works, there are Henry Moore, who was a British sculptor, Picasso and European art.

    I think it’s a great collection of works by great artists and the building itself is also a beautiful work, so it’s compilation of great art works.

    As I see pictures of inside and outside appearance of this museum, tough I don’t know much about it, it seems to be resourcefully built that we’ve learned in a lecture during our class. Because it seems that they used simple and common steel and wood frames for design. Of course I think they’re sound and also beautiful.

I’m thinking I’ll go to Canada to study next year. I’m not sure yet about it but if I chose to go Toronto, I would never miss a chance to go here.

Blog #3: Election in Greece

Hi, I'm Saori Nakagawa. On June 17, Greece's government will hold election. I suppose that all of you know the nation is facing financial crisis, and it is causing the big problem in the euro zone. The election will be held between the one party in Greece which claims to keep financial austerity as ever and the other which claims to take austerity away. The result of this election could change the future of EU, especially the nations in Europe which have been helping Greece financially, thus people all over the world are paying much attention to it. I think that the election could affect Japanese economic as well as European one, so Japanese people should keep an eye on this event more carefully.

#2: Tokyo Skytree

      Hi, I’m Junsei. This week, I went to Tokyo Skytree.
It was very crowded regardless of weekdays, though it was surely the highest building what I’ve ever seen in Japan.
I took the route from Oshiage Station to get Tokyo Skytree on foot.
It’s a great view to see the tower when you go up from the stairs of the station.
We still can feel an atmosphere of Shitamachi even though this modern building showed up there.
      Off course, I didn’t have the reservation for entering the tower, I just did shopping around there. I really felt Skytree can be a good sightseeing area for tourists because it’s near Asakusa which is so famous for tourists and I really want to introduce this place if I have guests from foreign countries.

      　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Sky Tree photo from Oshiage Station.

　　　　　If you take a route from Oshiage Station to Skytree, you can see this strange building.
When I saw it in the first place, I guessed it was a museum.
But it was not. Answer is here. Before you check the answer, let's guess what it is!
 The Answer for question

Blog#1: My favourite restaurant

  Hi, I'm Saori Nakagawa. I'm going to introduce one of my favourite restaurants. The restaurant is named somuo and serves various Thai and Vietnamese foods. I went to there around a month ago and ordered three dishes, salad, Thai noodle and Green carry. All of them were very very hot but very tasty. Besides, the performance of the waitstaffs was pretty good, and the interior made us feel as if we had been in South Asia truly.
If you want to enjoy Thai and Vietnamese foods, I recommend you the restaurant!

Blog#1: Memories of this GW

   Hello, I'm Kyoko Hasegawa. I'm going to talk about memories of this Golden Week. I spent GW on traveling Karuizawa in Nagano with my friends and old men of a badminton circle for three days. Though it was hot in Tokyo, it was pleasantly cool in Karuizawa, and very comfortable for travel. We stayed with a cottage which my friend reserved in advance. There was nothing around the cottage, and it was so clean and wide, that we could be noisy and talked about circle activity, new works of old men and our part time job the First day. Second day of the traveling, we went to Tariasen in Karuizawa. We could play boat, tennis and soap bubbles there and we enjoyed those things as if we went back when we were children. In that night, we enjoyed a barbecue out of cotage. Men made a fire outside and we cut vegetables in cottage. We drank talking about memories of that travel.  After that, we set off fireworks. They were very beautiful, and the best memory of that trip. I'm looking forward to go on trip with them again.

If you are interested in this cottage, please check this site.

Blog#1 My Favorite Izakaya

    Hi, I'm Junsei Goseki. This time I want to talk about my favorite izakaya.
I often go drinking with my friends in izakaya and have useless talks for a long time, though sometimes it's serious talks.
    My favorite izakaya is 'Wara-Wara' . I think it's cheap and drinks are good, they also have a wide variety of food. It usually cost me only about 3,000yen to drink and eat for 3hours. 'Wara-Wara' has a large number of stores in Tokyo, we can see them in each station, so it's really convenient to get it. Here is a link to Wara-Wara. Wara-Wara

    I also like 'Sekaino-Yamachan'. They have so many kinds of drinks and I enjoyed its unique name, for instance,  a 'Black Devil' and they have many other unique names. It's famous for really nice Fried Chicken Wings.  I was moved when I ate them, they were really nice and spicy a bit, so they have perfect combination to drink!
    If you got some interests with it, you can check it out here. Sekaino-Yamachan
And if you go there with a person having a name like Yamazaki, Yamakawa, you may be more excited.
Because I went there with my friends and one of them was Yamazaki and his face looked like a picture of 'Yamachan' , it was funny.

    Anyway, 'drinking with someone' I think is important in Japan. Though go drinking with my friends is always a great time, go drinking with my boss may be hard time for me if I get a job.

    If you have a favorite izakaya, please tell me. No bar, because I don't like a bar!

Sorry for no picture.

My Golden Week

Hi, I'm Junsei. This is my first post and I'll write about my Golden Week.

 I went to Izu, Atagawa with my friends during the Golden Week.
As you know, the first day on Wednesday was a terrible weather and I had to drive a car from Mejiro station to Izu because I was only one who had a driver license.
I don't know how nervous I would be during driving the car in such a bad weather, I was just tired!
We enjoyed a hot spring there and I think we can proud of Japanese hot springs. It's so beautiful.
 I recommend this place to you for a good hot spring trip.

This is when I went to watch a baseball game on the weekend beforethe GW, I was surprised to see this amazingly wide space in Tokyo Dome.
Giants vs Tigers. I like Hanshin, but they lost the game. It's so crowded. It's so fun tough I felt tired
