Music Festival!!

June 27th, at Kumanoto Prefectual Theater, Music Festival(MF) 42nd was taken place. This is the stage which all music club of KGU play. We always hold MF in June, and this stage is the first performance for freshmen. However, Mandolin Club isn't so. From this year we decided that freshman of mandolin club can't play in MF because the skill is not full. We want freshman to do basic practice. So this year we played high skill music with only upper class students.

We played "Godzilla", "He is a pirates", "Summer " and "Ashitaka Sekki". All of four are popular music, so if we make some mistakes, the audience will recognize. It is hard for us. But we practiced on average 3~4 hours every day. We garadually get confidence. And on the stage I could play all music without hurrying. After our stage, many people praise us. It is very happy. This MF has no regret, I think.

Furthermore, I have the other duty an the captain of Mandolin Club. Every year, the session of dean is put in the program. Look the picture. At this stage I danced with this costume!! It was ver embarassed, but very comfortable. This day is the most memorable day in my life!!

BR1-9 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

In my childhood, I love to read abroad old tales. Of course these are written in Japanese. And my favorite story is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. When I found this book written in English at the library, I was very happy and soon decided to rent. However after reading I realized some different point between "Japanese Snow White" and "Original Snow White." I will explain a little.


At first, I was surprised because the bad queen is the mother of Snow White. I can't believe that the queen tried to kill her daughter! Sometimes old tales are cruel. The queen killed her daughter with poisoned apple. It is same to Japanese one. But after that is a little different. The bad queen died because she fell from cliff. However in this book how to die is not same. In this tale the bad queen was killed by prince who fell in love with Snow White. The prince took hold her and made her put burning-hot iron shoes on her feet. The queen made her dance to death. How cruel!!!


I love this book because Snow White recovered with the kiss of prince. But it is also different. Snow White could wake up because the coffin bumped against trees and piece of poisoned apple flew out from her throat!! I think it is interesting but a little practical.


Through this story I could find reading old tales in English is interesting because there are some differences. I can rent some other books in the library, I would like to keep reading and reviewing in my blog.

No Music, No Life??

June 14th, I appeared two music concerts. One was taken place an Uto. The other was at Kengun Bunnka Center. Both were mandolin concert. Now, I think to appear two concerts in a day are a little hard, but I could feel pleasure.

One concert is Ajisai Mandolin Concert. Ajisai is called Japanese hydrangea in English. There were many Ajisai, and I could see the sea in front of the stage. It was beautiful. Playing mandolin with Ajisai and sea was comfortable! However, sometimes strong wind blew and the sheet music was turned up, unfortunately. Through this concert, I could have new friends. I could meet various generation people. After the performance, audience said it was great!! I was grad. Others of mandolin club looked happy.

The other concert is private. I appeared as an individual, not mandolin club member. In fact I'm a member of a quartet named "Hathigenn Koubou(八絃工房)". I was a little tired because of Ajisai Concert, but I could do my best. At the practice, I could not play well, but in this day, I could best playing!!

If I'm asked that what is your symbol of my university life, I will answer it is Mandolin. Mandolin could be separated with my life. It will be continued forever.

BR1-8 The Little Red Hen

This story is a little ironical, but provocative.

The main character is a little red hen. She lived on a farm in a little white hen house. She had three friends, a glossy black cat, a big noisy duck, a fat brown rat. One morning, the little hen found some grains of wheat. When she found, she hit upon a good idea! She can eat bread with these grains! So, she asked to her friends. "Who will help me plan the wheat?" But three friends said only "Not I". The red hen asked many times. "Who will help me cut the shoots down?" "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill?" "Who will help me make the flour into bread?" She asked to help many times! However, her friends answered "Not I". The red hen got angry and said "Fine! I will do by myself!!" And at last she had baked the BREAD by ONLY herself. The bread was warm and soft. The red hen asked her three friends "Who will help me eat the bread?" At the moment she said so, three friends said "I'll eat the bread!" with smile. However, the red hen cried "Oh, no you won't! I'll eat it ALL BY MYSELF!!" And she did.

I think this story is pleasant. And I learnt we can't get anything without suffer hardships. It is thoughtless to want something with no cost. Her three friends could recognize the importance of cooperation. If my friends need my help, I will help them. And I want to share our joys and sorrow.

The first class begins at 7:30 a.m. and I had to prepare for all lessons. After I back home, my head is full of so many home works.


In such a distressing every day, I have the only pleasure. It is club activity. I was a member of Kyudo club. There are 6 members. We were very good friends each other. After graduation, sometimes we promise to meet and talk in Kagoshima. During high school life, Kyudo is a emotional support for me. If I were not the member, I would leave school. I am so thankful for Kyudo club.


These two memorable days told me many good things. I can recognize the importance of making extra special effort. To accomplish something is a hard work, but after finished, it is essential treasure for me. Because I entered Kagoshima Central High School, I could be stronger than then. I want to make the most of this difficult and significant time.
