Blog#11: The commercial

Hi, I'm Maho. The commercial I chose is this. Please look!!
This is SEIYU's commercial. SEIYU is a company name. This company sells clothes, foods, drinks and house furnishings. This commercial focuses on house furnishings. This commercial's ad target is the people who begin a new life. It was on air in spring few years ago. In Japan, there are many people who begins a new life  in spring because the people go to the next grade or enter a shool or company.  So we can watch the cherry blossom flowers in the commercial. The flowers is a symbol of japanese spring.
It takes place in home and SEIYU. In this commercial,  a couple moved new house. They bought table, curtain, dishes and Japanese-style bedding.  While the commercial, a song was played repeatedly.The song said "SEIYU にとりあえず行けや". It has two meanings. The first meaning is going to the SEIYU store tentatively. The second meaning is saying a rival store's name, NITORI and IKEA. The massage of it is selling many products in our life in SEIYU.
I like this commercial, especially song. This song is very catcy, so it stickes in my ears. I think SEIYU's commercials are very funny every time.  But I have never gone to the SEIYU,  I want to go there.
 
 

Blog#10:My holidays

Hi, I'm Maho. During the school festival, I went to school only the last day. The other days, I went to Okinawa. When the only day I came to shool, I sold a tapioka drink.
I went to Okinawa in order to get a diver's license. I went to Saipan few years ago, I did experience diving. I was so surprised and excited !!! Since then, I wanted to get it.
The first day in Okinawa, I was diving all day. It was more harder than I thought. The suit was so heavy on land.
But the second day, I went to Kerama islands by boat. Kerama islands's sea is much clearer than that of yesterday. There are more fishes and corals. It was so beautiful !!! I want to go to diving right now :)
Before I went to there,I heard blue seal icecream in this class. So,I was looking forward to eating it . Fortunately, the shop of blue-seal was near the hotel I stayed. So, I ate it everyday. The ice creams were so delicious.

Blog#9: My friend Mizuki

Hi, I'm Maho. I'll introduce my friend, Mizuki.
According to the MIzuki's blog, we have gone to the same shool for eight years. Mizuki said that since we  entranced the university, we were better friends. I think so too. But I knew her since we entranced the junior high school, because she was well-know for comming from Osaka. In winter, she put on an orange knit hat. It was noticeable XD
This photo is when we graduated from high shool. We presented a teacher a large square card. Do you find Mizuki and me?  Mizuki is the far tallest. haha.. 
Few month ago, we went Tokyo Sky Tree. We were shopping and talked a great deal.
She is interesting, kind and diligent in everything. I respect her honesty. I hope that we are good friends in the future.

Blog #11:Introduce a TV commercial

Hello, everyone. I'm Yuki.
I'll introduce my favorite TV commercial.

  Do you know an acerola? And, what you imagine when you hear this word? 
Speaking of product of acerola, I think that you imagine this. Look right!!
This is a NICHIREI ACEROLA which is a type of beverage made by Suntory Corporation. (A brand owner turned from Nichirei foods into Suntory Corporation in 2010.)

  The women of 20-30 generation is the ad target. The concept of this product turned from health into beauty with a renewal in 2010. Riisa Naka(仲里依紗) who is a Japanese actress and Yasuko Mitsuura(光浦靖子) who is a Japanese comedian appear in this TV commercial. Two of them are the age of the target of this product. They dance on the beach and  grass.The dance is energetic and characteristic. You can this TV commercial at home and in train.

  Please look at TV commercial.

   I think that you can't forget this TV commercial. And You can't help singing a song when after you listened to music ;) As can be seen, an image color is red. Red is called "bitamine color". I think that this color give us more power. I think that the conpany want us to be health beautifully. They express
that this produst made to bask the blessings of nature and sun . And the dance express that it is important to be happily. It understand from the text of the song.(written in Japanese)↓

♪たたたたたいよう 楽しくたいよう
ビタビタしたら ミンミンするよ
たたたたたいよう 明るくしたいよう
たたたたたたたら たたたらら
目覚ましかけずに 今日また早起き
となりの芝が 青かったら
うちの庭には 花をうえよう



 When I watch this TV commercial, I always be happy and sing together. Also I cannot do to dancing♪ And we would lile to drink. It is not only me, but also everyone who watch the TV commercial. I think that this is maximal effect of this CM.
  Shall we dance with me??

Blog#11: My favorite TV commercial

   Hi, I'm Yuri. Today, I'll introduce my favorite TV commercial.

  
   This is my favorite TV commercial. This TV commercial made by TOKYO DISNEY RESORT Corporation. I think that everyone are targeted in this TV commercial. This TV commercial's character is a woman. The woman has a good time in Tokyo Disney Resort. This TV commercial is animation that express the woman's lifetime.

Blog#11: An impressive TV commercial for me

     Hi, I'm Mizuki Endo. Today, I'll introduce an impressive TV commercial for me. At first, please look at this video :)

     This is my favorite TV commercial series to introduce trip tickets to Kyoto, and was made by JR Toukai (Japanese electric railroad company).  These TV commercials are broadcasted in spring, summer, autmun, and winter or more times.
     I think the ad target of this TV commercial is mainly everyone except children. And I think that the reason of promoting man narrator is to target not only women but also men. I think it's producer's intention.
     And this TV commercial take place in Kyoto, almost at temple or somewhere able to look cherry blossoms and colored leaves. In many cases, there is no people and animal. But sometimes, bonzes and maiko-sans appear. And in every TV commercial, at first, the name of the place appears. And narrator says something to have something to do with the place. And at last, a set phrase appears, 'そうだ、京都行こう(Now then, I'll go to Kyoto).' Though these TV commercial series have been continuing since 1993, this narrator has not changed.
     As I also think so, the company want to think us 'そうだ、京都行こう(I'll go to Kyoto)'sincerely. And many of us could and can think so, this TV commercial has continued by now. Every time when I watch this TV commercial, 'Ah, this time is here...' I think. And I look forward to this TV commercial. I think it is very effective.
     I'm sorry for writing a long sentence. Thank you.

Blog#10: My holidays

   Hi, I'm Yuri. I didn't go to school festival, so I had holidays! Then, I'll tell you about my holidays.

   I went to the spa of Goura (強羅温泉) with my friends. The spa of Goura is in Kanagawa and near Hakone. The spa was very good and a Japanese-style hotel which we stayed was very good, too. We stayed at Kiritani Hakonesou (桐谷 箱根荘).

   By the way, we went to an outlet store in Gotenba. That store was very large, so I was tired. But I bought some goods and drink. I was surprised at this drink. Do you know this drink? It is made from chocolates. I think it is very very good taste! So, I love it!!  You can buy at GODIVA.

This holidays were nice memories for me!!

Blog#10: School Festival

     Hi, I'm Mizuki Endo. Today, I'll tell you our school festival!!
     I belong to a law circle(司法研修会) and we sold the tapioca tea (we prepared maccha flavor, milk tea and caramel flavor). And look at this!

     This signboards were drawn by us. I have no sense for drawing, so I only painted the words various colors. My friends had the words drawn.
     And Maho, I and another boy sold the tapioca together while walking. As the boy has a lot of friends, we could sell 19 cups of tapioca for an hour. We made it! But I forgot to take pictures...
     And during the afternoon, my friends in high school days came to our school festival to go to Iseya Yusuke's speaking. We had lunch together and we had very good time.
     To sum it up, I enjoyed the school festival. Thanks for buying our tapioca!!!

Blog#10:DisneySea♥

  Hi, I'm Yuki.
  I didn't go to school festival. So It was a holiday for me during the period of the school festival.

  On November 5 , I went to Tokyo DisneySea with my friend. This is because what went to DisneySea had a certain purpose. It was to see old friend. Because he works as the cast of  Venetian Gondola.
  His name is Yuuki. He is very humorous person. I like his smile.

(From the left, Nobue, Yuuki, Yuki)
  We rode gondola. Of course a gondolier is he!! His "Santa Lucia" (A gondolier supposed to sing the song) made me happy. I want you to ride his gondola if you go to Disney Sea.
    And we were able to ride the new attraction "TOY STORY MANIA!". The attraction's design is very very cute!! And I was the feeling that became the toy.










After that we watched show. It is A Table is Waiting. Then I took a lot of photographs. I love Disney's characters, I had a good time.
 Also, I love DisneySea's night view. We can watch various scence every theme parks. I always get power in dreams when I go to DisneySea.

Blog#:10 Movies

Hello, I'm Higuchi. On November 1, I went to theaters and watched three movies. All were very good movies. So I'll tell you about them.

One, it is 『フタバから遠く離れて』. This movie is a documentary. It is an earthquake disaster on 3.11. This movie has a message which  feelings of Futaba peaple  and the present situation after an earthquake disaster. It was very very very intersting.  This movie told me that I didn't kwow, TV and newspaper didn't ever report us. It was truth or real fuct. I think that movie and art have a role which they tell us truth or real fact. This movis was such a work.

Two, 『白夜』. Do you know it?
Robert Bresson made it. He is so famous movie creater. This movie was barely went on long time. And there is not DVD. So this movie was said that it is a phantom. I'm lucky that I have such a chance to watch to it. The story is love. And the original is Dostoevsky(ドフトエフスキー). His most famous fiction is 『罪と罰』. I like it. I like him.

Three, 『アウトレイジビヨンド』.
 
This movie is perfect!It is a work of Kitano Takeshi. He is my most favorite movie creater. I love him and his works.  Peaple think it is YAKUZA movie, so they don't  want  to watch it. But it is different. And you think so. You are wrong! Compositions and direction, construction, cut editing,  casting, idea are excellent! Acters are so cool. All performance are very good. Acting of Kitanotakeshi and Miuratomokazu moved me. 『アウトレイジ』is also very good movie. Please let's try to watch 『アウトレイジ』 and 『アウトレイジビヨンド』.

On Nomeber, I'll go to theaters to watch two movie, 『CARLOS』 and 『倫敦から来た男』. The time of 『CARLOS』 is about six hours. It is very long. But I want to watch it.
