Book review 2-3 Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is an American actor and film producer. He became famous during the mid-1990s after starring in some major Hollywood films. He received a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award nomination for his role in the 1995 film “ Twelve monkeys”.
Now, he is cited as one of the most attractive men and regarded as a Hollywood A-lister. I think there are no person who don’t know about Brad Pitt.
He was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma. His parents were high school counselor and track company owner. And he has one brother and one sister. As soon as his birth, they moved in Springfield, Missouri, and brad grew up there. When he was high school student, he was involved in sports, debating, student government, and acting. And, he began to be interested in acting.
Brad studied about acting and got a very small role in the 1980s TV program. He learned more about acting from every role.
In early 1990s, he has played some famous movies. For example, true romance, legends of the fall, and interview with vampire. These famous films pushed Brad from” star” to “super star”. After these films, everybody knew his name. In 1995, the magazine PEOPLE gave him an award, ”He was the Sexiest Man in the world”.
He made two more super star movies. It is Apollo13 and SEVEN. He became more famous after these Films.

In his private life, he got married with Jennifer Aniston in 2000, and got divorced with her in 2005.
And now, he has a domestic partner, Angelina Jolie. They have 3 step children, and 3 own children.
Angelina is eager to philanthropy and charities. So, brad began to interest to it. And in winter of 2006, brad gathered a group of housing professionals together in New Orleans to begin a project. It is called Make it Right. In this project, they finance and construct 150 new houses. This activity gathered many attentions, and 13 architectural films are involved in the project, and are donating their services. Brad and philanthropist donated for 5 million dollars.

On Thursday, I went to downtown to eat out with friends. These friends are my transferred friends. Their name is Takako, and Mika.
It was a first time to eat out with them, so I was looking forward to. Sakaso, where we have a dinner was Japanese style restaurant, and had many Japanese dishes like yakitori, and sashimi. We have talked many topics that usually we don’t talk deeply at university as ate some dishes. For instead, our steadies, future dream, things about study, and so on. It was a really good time, and by all means we want to eat out and talk with them!! (110 words)

class reunion!!

On Monday, I held a class reunion when I was 2nd grade in my high school. Actually it was not deliberate reunion. First, one of my friend (maybe she is an organizer, and now she is returning home on vacation.) called many classmates who is living in Kumamoto now. I am of course living in Kumamoto, so I was given a call from her. I was on my way to my tutor student’s house when my phone called. So I joined to this reunion after the tutor. I met some of my friends after an interval of 3 years, so, I reminded good memories in my mind.
2nd grade class in my high school was soooo funny! Class room had been full of laughing every day! Some students made us laugh and imitated our subject teacher. I hated to study, but I liked to go to school, especially to my class room!!
Now, everyone is working at their own interesting field, for instead, nurse, teacher, apparel industry… their eyes were brightening with hope and zeal. Now, I am a student, so I thought that I also want to get a job that I eager to do.









These Some Pictures are that when we are driving. Of course the driver didn’t drink alcohol! After the reunion, we drove through the downtown and enjoyed chatting. We had a really really good time. I want to hold class reunion again absolutely! In this time, it is necessary to do deliberately! (250 words)

SATC is back!!!!

Hey everyone! Are you enjoying your own vacation?
Lately, I watched SATC on WOWOW. It was rebroadcast but really exciting and fun as expected!
Oh, by the way, do you know SATC? SATC is abbreviated of Sex and The City, and is American TV program that is broadcasted from 1998 to 2004, for a total of six seasons, and it got many awards, Emmy awards, Golden globe awards, etc…

This program set in New York City and the show focuses on four women in their mid-thirties. These women discuss their sexual desires and fantasies, and their pains in life and love. The show often depicts frank discussions about romance and sexuality, particularly in the context of being a single woman in her mid-thirties.
This show has four heroines who have attractive personality and way of live.

Carrie Bradshaw is the main character of heroines and she is the narrator of each episode. She works on her PowerBook in her apartment and writes her weekly column “Sex and the City” for the fictitious newspaper The New York Star. These articles are focusing on the different aspects of a relationship. She is known for unique fashion sense (particularly footwear. “Manoro Brahnik” foot wear.) by New York citizens. She is house-proud and heavy smoker.


Samantha Jones is the oldest and most sexually confident of heroines. She is an independent business woman, and made a go of the business. Now, she is an executive of own company. She is confident, strong, outspoken, calls herself a “try-sexual”, and has a number of relationships in the show. But one of her best qualities is her loyalty to her friends.


Charlotte York works in art gallery and has had a conventional upbringing. She has traditional attitude about relationships and is the most conservative and positive of the group. She is the one who places the most emphasis on emotional love, and a true romantic. She is always searching for her “knight in shining armor”. She likes elegant fashion, and her fashion and way of thinking is placed opposite position of Samantha.

Miranda Hobbes is a career-minded lawyer and has extremely cynical views on relationships and men. She graduated Harvard Law school and Carrie’s best friend, confidante, and voice of reason.




These four heroines are living in NEW YORK, and growing up through pain in love, business, and their life. Their attitude and friendships in these situation have strike a chord with numerous women in twenties and thirties all over the world. The last parts of each episode always give us purposeful thinking.


And, this program has one more remarkable point. It is each heroine’s fashion! Their individual fashion sense expresses their lifestyle and colors the story more gorgeously. And surprisingly, their fashion set a trend in real world at that time! The fiction TV program has changed the fashion of real world. That’s interesting!



Young woman who is wondering in love or interesting the trend probably will like this program. And, in this year after 4 years of end of this TV program, SATC will be a movie! Carrie and other attractive characters will be back! Wow, that sounds wonderful! The movie version has been already released in U.S, and it will be released in August 23, 2008.

Ahhhhh! I am aching with watch it! (548 words)

Now, I am listening to this music.


One Republic is an American Rock band formed in Colorado. After a few years of moderate success, they have since drawn mainstream attention with the release of their single "Apologize," which has sold in excess of 7 million singles worldwide. The song, according to Sound Scan Data, is one of only two songs that have reached 3 million legal downloads in history.

A remix of "Apologize" was featured on Timbaland
The band was formed by songwriter and Grammy-nominated record producer, Ryan Tedder and his high school friend, Zach Filkins, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Since the summer of 2006, One Republic has consistently been ranked as one of the top musical acts on MySpace due to heavy promotion within the online community. The band was beginning to get exposure on MySpace, becoming the number one unsigned act on the site. The band caught the attention of a number of labels, including Timbaland. The band signed to the Mosley Music group, becoming the first rock band signed to the label.

On tour, the band has been noted to cover popular songs
"Umbrella" by Rihanna- Like a number of acts in 2007, One Republic covered Rihanna's hit single, "Umbrella."　(203 words)
