I became a fan of this Japanese idol group " Snowman " since last January ( 2020 ).

Snow Man is a nine-member male idol group who belong to Johnny & Associates ( a Japanese talent agency formed by Johnny Kitagawa in 1962, which trains and promotes groups of male entertainers known as Johnny's ).

The group was a former Johnny's Jr. unit and debuted on January 22, 2020.

They specialize in acrobatics and dancing.

In January '2020, my husband and I were watching Japanese TV's music station program, and saw the new debuted Idol men's group "Snowman" on TV.

and I was very impressed with one of the members 's performance with the song " D.D".

His name is Daisuke Sakuma.

He was not the main performer in the group for that song, and the camera did not show him much during the performance on TV, but even in such a short time appearance in it, it was a big impact from his dance, expression for me.

and I felt I wanted to see his performance more. and also while he was talking in it, I really liked his voice and talking.

Most of the members of "Snowman" have a lot of background career and performance skills while they were under Johnny's junior .

Oldest members are 28 years old. and youngest is 17 years old.

My favorite member Daisuke Sakuma is 28 years old, one of the oldest members in that group. and in the beginning, I just wanted to see Sakuma-kun's performance,

but while watching many of their videos which they all talk each other personally, and doing some activities, I found they are really funny and sweet each other , so I started interested in all of them.

They are not just idol group, but have a lot of performance skills, this may be one of the reasons I really enjoy watching them.

But Sakuma-kun is my favorite performer because his movements of dance is really amazing, magical and flexible like he has no bone ?

His acrobat skills are awesome as well, very light and looks easy to do it.

It's not easy to find great dancer I like, so I'm very happy to find him.

Party ! Party ! Party ! ( Daisuke Sakuma)

From the song " Party ! Party ! Party ! " .

This is my top favorite of his dance.

His movements, expression and how he is using his cap with the dance is incredible!

and also how he is using all the details of his body, head, neck, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet movements are breathtaking.

His flexibility is really amazing. Why can he move like that ?

He has classic ballet experience when he was younger beside hip-hop & jazz & Break dance.

so this may be the reason why his movements look graceful and sharp and beautiful.

I've been getting an addiction for his dance. It's just too wonderful.

D.D. Practice dance

This is their first single song " D.D.". The man who is wearing the cap is Daisuke Sakuma.

I like this practice version of the performance because we can see all the member's dance clearly unlike Promotion music video of this song.

and I want to see more Sakuma-kun's woderful dance from beginning to the end, so I prefer this one.

D.D. (P.V)

This is the promotion music video of this song, D.D. Good part of the music video is we can see each member's face more clearly than other one.

For about singing, I like Shota Watanabe's voice. Beautiful voice. and also Daisuke Sakuma's.

I think Shota Watanabe and Daisuke Sakuma's voices are unique so I can know who is singing when I'm listening to it without even watching.

Make It Hot - Dance practice

Crazy F-r-e-s-h Beat

I also love their performance of this . Their leader " Hikaru Iwamoto " created this choreography of the song.

I want to be your boyfriend

The song " I want to be your boyfriend " in English.

I really love this recording studio video of this song.

All the members look so cool while they are singing. and each member's expression is unique, so it's interesting. Sakuma-kun look beautiful.

This song is spinning in my head whenever I watch this.

Who was The Mysterious Masked Messenger who visited Mozart ?

Perhaps the most mysterious legend about Mozart is that of the " Masked Messenger ". This mysterious masked messenger is also known historically as the "Man in Gray" , "The Mysterious Messenger" , "The Gray Messenger". The story of the masked messenger was featured prominently in the movie “ Amadeus ". Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart How much of this story is true ? When Mozart died in the early morning hours of December 5, 1791, he left his final masterpiece, the Requiem , unfinished. A few months later, a completed score of the Requiem was delivered to its anonymous commissioner. How was the Requiem completed and how would Mozart have completed it had he lived? These mysteries have tantalized musicians for over two centuries. Mozart received the commission to compose the Requiem from the “ Mysterious Messenger" in the summer of 1791. The Messenger paid half the commission in advance,

He is channeled by Darryl Anka. Planet earth used to have beautiful clear air, but since a long time ago the air has been polluted everywhere. and the cause of most illnesses comes from the poison in the environment we are in, with the polluted air. Nowadays, it's hard to find places where there is beautiful clean air. and in this unfavorable environment, he is suggesting how to live healthy. Health tips 1. Clear Oxygen According to Bashar, the air after storms and typhoons have gone away, is the most clean ( purified ) and is good for our bodies. However when there is an overdose of artificial oxygen by using tools such as oxygen tanks , this can cause a lack of water, and will weaken cells. So clean natural water needs to be used in a balanced amo

Sweet Food which does not get fat - Warabi mochi

I recently love eating this sweet food that Japanese call " Warabi mochi " which is made of 0 calories food psyllium in my coffee break time. It's sweet food but I use Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener instead of sugar when I make it. Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener is 0 calorie s and 0 glycemic and very similar taste as normal sugar. It is said it's derived from monk fruit, which looks like a small green gourd native to regions of China and Thailand. It's not artificial so it is not bad for health so I feel comfortable eating it. Warabi mochi is a food which is normally made of Kinako ( soybean flour) & sugar & warabi powder and it's one of my favorite foods. However it's high calorie foods so if I eat a lot, it's easy to gain weight. Because Warabi mochi flour is Starch and has sugar in it and is high calorie. So I was not eating it. and then recently I found the recipe of diet Warabi Mochi which is made of Psyllium

Beauty skin care, Ninon de L'Enclos ‘s Secret of her young skin

Besides extra virgin olive oil, I’ve been doing a mixture of another great natural formula since two weeks ago. This information came from Ray who happened to find about Ninon de L’Enclos ’s amazing story concerning her youthful skin. According to the article, Ninon de L’ Enclos is known as a famous French beauty from the late 1600s. She kept her youthful skin until 85 years old when she passed away. Even in to her 80’s she was attracting many young men who fell hopelessly in love with her. She never published her secret of her youthful skin until the end , only telling her special friends about her secret formula. There is no photo of her, but seeing her painting in other websites, she looks in her 30’s when she was 85. According to the article, her face was as smooth and free of winkles in her 80’S as it had been at 20. She hated wrinkles and successfully kept her skin youthful , using her special secret formula. This information blew me away, and immediately

Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin’s friendship Part 1

Frederyk Chopin I’m a long time fan of Chopin’s music since when I was a teenager. Started loving his music from hearing his Polonaise , then Noctunes , Etudes … Frederyk Chopin I was using one of Chopin’s Nocturnes as my background music for my answering machine when I was in my 20s. In Japan, many of his music is famous and used in many TV dramas, commercials, movies, and mostly wealthy bourgeois family scenes. My image of many of Chopin ’s music that I’ve listened to is of a cozy, bourgeois world. From almost all his music I’ve ever heard, I often pictured an elegant, wealthy family’s world or a story about a family who are living in a luxury antique style house. Many of Mozart ’s music reminds me of a social life in an older generation, a story about bourgeois world in a gorgeous luxury palace. For Liszt ’s music, his music is very variety, ranging from an image of a sweet passionate love story for couples, all the way to nightmare horror story type of mu

Franz Liszt’s dangerous love

Franz Liszt was quite tall in his generation, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall , long blonde hair , piercing sharp eyes, pianist' long narrow and delicate hands and fingers. His body build was very slender. People who knew him described his personality as full of charm, charisma, and very knowledgeable. And he loved brainy women. He was the consummate artist. It seems that Liszt loved dangerous love , which thrilled him and gave him excitement rather than a stable, peaceful , safe love. Franz Liszt While reading about his biography, I was wondering why he fell in love with two princesses who were already married. Marie D’Agoult He seems to have had a lot of love affairs in his life, someone found out that he had at least 26 serious relationships in his life ( besides countless other affairs ) but the only ladies he thought about marriage was with these two princesses , Marie D’Agoult and Carolyne Sayn Wittgenstein ?

My favorite ways of Law of Attraction Part 3 - Successful Wishing - Pierre Franckh

Pierre Franckh’s books “ Successful Wishing “ are another of my favorite books. There are series, 1 to 6 , and are not published in English , but I did find them in a Japanese book store, translated by a Japanese translator. Pierre Franckh is a German actor ( Movies & TV) from 1959 – 2003, and is also a movie director and a writer. Since 1996, he published many books and became a best selling author. Franckh wrote based on his personal experiences from when he was a child . I love the way how he writes , it’s very easy to read and direct to the point, very clear how to do it with step by step instruction. Also importance of finding what you truly want. Many people are actually not realizing what they really want and then when they get what they wanted, still not feeling satisfied. Pierre said that before making your wishes and order to universe, it’s important to clear up what you really want and ask to yourself, why you w

Organic foods and healthy living “ You are what you eat ? “

We‘ve been enjoying organic foods since a month ago. Because we care for our health and also organic foods taste more delicious than normal vegetables. Recently, I really feel the famous quote “ You are what you eat . “ is true. Although healthy life comes from balance between mind, body, skin care, good night sleep and activities besides food life . Health is a treasure. Also I realized that “ good blood circulation ” is one of the most important key to keep healthy and look young skin. After being amazed to see Styx’s ageless Tommy Shaw on TV, I started searching about “ secret of youth “. He looks so much younger than his age. Also, there was an interview with Styx on CNN in the morning about a week ago and they talked about what they think are the keys to longevity and a healthy life. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2012/04/23/exp-kyra-phillips-age-against-the-machine.cnn

”The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”　- Albert Einstein　

Originally we were all creative because all children are creative. While growing up, many children lose their creativity by seeing, reading, hearing what many grown ups do and teach. According to a book called " Goal " by Brian Tracy, "Fully 95% of children tested between the ages of three and five are rated as highly creative. Of the same children tested again as teenagers, only about 5% rated as highly creative. What happened to them in the interim ? As they went through school, they were taught that if you want to get along, you follow the crowd. They learned not to question or challenge the teacher or to suggest unusual ideas. In their attempts to be liked and accepted by their peers, they allowed their creativity to die down, like a fire without fuel. " "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grows up." 　－　Pablo Picasso But if we don't use creativity, we lose it. It means that the more we use cre

Charm of Kenichi Hagiwara - Shoken

From Japanese Movie " Ame no Amsterdam (Rain in Amsterdam)" I've been into the late 1960s to 1970s generation since several years ago. I don't know why but I'm very interested in older generation's people, trends, lifestyle, scenery, habit, TV drama, music, films, etc.. and not so interested in new things much. There are many new discoveries through checking out old stuff while reading and watching it, which I didn't know before. and about several months ago, I happened to find a youtube video of a famous Japanese actor called Kenichi Hagiwara who was my favorite actor in 1970s when I was a kid. His nickname is Shoken and he is also a singer of Rock/blues music. Shoken( 18 years old) singing ”Legend of Emerald” Shoken was one of the super stars in Japan mainly from the late 60s generation to early 80s. When he was 15 years old, he joined an amateur music group band called The Tempters as a vocalist. A
