'Jolene' 1976 by Olivia Newton John  This is another memorable music/song which I really loved.  However I didn't know who was the singer or what title of music until 2 days ago.   When I first listened to this song " Jolene " , I was 13 years old, in the first grade of middle school in 1976.    In the middle school, I was belonging with an Acting club for 3 years in the school 's club activity which all the students needed to join and which was in Friday afternoon, also after class.   It had many kinds of categories, which are indoor and outdoor.  I chose acting club, because I was interested in that but I also admired to belong with tennis club and Kendo club.  However when I joined the trial for all of them, tennis club and Kendo club and also all the other outdoor activities, they required to run marathon for training.  Marathon was one of my most disliked things , so I canceled t...

2014 - 2015 Figure skating season is already coming up ! Since this year's Sochi Olympics , several top skaters are not competing this season for a variety of reasons. We both miss Daisuke Takahashi 's skating in competitions. also it's something strange feeling Mao Asada is not in the competition this season, who had been always competing in seniors almost for 10 years. Also Brian Joubert .  He had been continuing to compete for a long time. I always love to watch veterans skating.  My favorite times are still from 2006 ( it's the year I started watching men's skating )  to 2008.  but I enjoyed to watch 2004 to 2005 seasons as well.  In any case, there is a fresh feeling  in the air this season's skating competition world. This season, my husband and I are looking forward to seeing the programs and performances of Jason Brown, Alexander Johnson, Samantha Cesario,  Polina Edmonds, Eelena Radionova, Katelyn Osmond , Kanako Murakami, Ha...

What music do you love to listen to in Autumn season ?  It's cloudy and cool here in Tucson today.  Usually I don't feel much Autumn air here because it's a desert place and usually summer continues until November.  But today, I feel like Autumn came up here.  My favorite music for Autumn are Piano music " Energy Flow " by Ryuichi Sakamoto and also " Longing/Love " by George Winston .  I always listen to these music every autumn season.  Very touching.  Ryuichi Sakamoto 's Energy Flow      This is one of my all time favorite music.  Very beautiful and imaginative.  I would love to see a great artistic figure skater skate to this music someday.  Longing / Love by George Winston from the album Autumn   I love all the music which is in the album "Autumn" .   I picture Forrest whenever I listen to this music.  After the boiling hot summer has gone, it tur...

Finally, these items arrived here ! Especially the DVD of the Robbin Williams movie " What dreams may come " ! We've been looking for the DVD of the movie since last month around August 11, after hearing the sad news about Robbin Williams. I remember that there was one DVD of " What dreams may come " was in the Barnes and Noble's book store here when we went there on August 4.  But I was looking for another movie at that time so I didn't get it then , but was planning to get it the following week. Then when we went to the bookstore on August 11, it was already sold out.  so we looked for it many other places, but it was all sold out, so we purchased it in amazon.com and waited for it coming here until this week . So I'm so glad to get it finally. It's so strange when we were not looking for it , we could easily find the item, but when we wanted it and looking for it, it was hard to get it.  Why ?    I've watched t...

Recently, we are into wine and have been enjoying tasting a variety of wines from different countries every weekend. My favorite wine so far is a French wine called " Lacheteau Vouvray " which has a dragon image on the label of the bottle. It has 11% Alcohol, richness with acacia, pear and almond aromas. I drink about two glasses of that wine each night of weekends. My husband loves Italian wine, so both of us drink different one. Until I found this French white wine, my favorite wine was always a German wine called " Katz" which has the image of a black cat . When I was staying in a ski village in Nagano, Japan, there was a boy who was studying to be an Italian foods chef.   I was often joining parties with the hotel workers , and in one of the parties that boy bought several wines which were his recommendations, which were German and Italian wines. and one of them was that Katz, and I really loved that taste at that time. The boy told us ...
