September 13 - Birthday Party

I met my friends at Ala Moana Shopping Center at 10:00 am. We had to choose a present, because we were going to go to the 2 years old birthday party of Don's friend's boy. We didn't know what an American 2 years old boy likes, so we worried. Eventually, we bought a toy of Thomas in LEGO's store. Don came to pick us up by the car at 12:00 pm. Don came to pick us up by the car at 12:00 pm and we were headed to Kailua. We stopped in Nuuanu Pari Lookout and it was nice view. It was very cold but wonderful view. Next, we stopped in Don's home in Kailua. There were 3 large dogs. The picture above is Don and Enzo. Enzo was a gentle and smart dog.



We moved into back in the mountains and arrived at the luxurious mansion. I was surprised a breadth of the home site. There was a swimming pool. The father showed us around his house. It was very gorgeous and neat house. The mother said to us, "You can eat anything as much as you want." We swam in the pool as we like and ate something as we like. I thought we cannot do so in Japan.



The birthday boy and his brother made a hit with the birthday present we gave. They absorbedly played on the toy completely ignoring us. lol. But we were very glad! We had a good time, so I was happy to be there. My last weekend in Hawaii was so wonderful.

Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel

I bought Mariah Carey's latest album "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel." I was really looking forward to its release. The artworks are photographs taken by the same situation as the old ones. So you can compare present her and past her. In addition, the booklet of Elle mini-magazine is attached inside. Album discography, personal belongings and private photographs are inserted. The CD includes the songs like the songs of time of her debut which were called "adult contemporary music." You can feel 90s' Mariah Carey by those songs again though her recent songs used some rapper and tended to hip-hop music. I love her 90s' songs though I like her recent hip-hop songs too. So I really liked this album. I like "Angels Cry" the most in this album. It is a very comfortable and gentle melody. Please listen on YouTube under and get this album soon!

Coming Soon Movie

http://www.thetimetravelerswifemovie.com/

This movie title is "THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE." The original is Audrey Niffenegger's first novel. It is a bittersweet SF love story. I have read this book so I'm really looking forward to this movie. It will be released in the United States on August 14.

The hero Henry has uncontrollable time travel ability. When he is 36 years old, he meets the heroine Clare age 6. It was the first meeting of them. However, for Clare, Henry at that time was the man who had come from the future. She comes to look forward to Henry's coming though she was surprised at first. Since then, they spend long time together beyond the time-space. At last, they meet in "now" when Henry is 28 years old and Clare is 20 years old. Henry's time travel ability is a kind of illness. Even though Henry and Clare face many difficulties, they nurture love.

To be honest, I had felt painful when I had read this book. It is because problem of befalling to Henry and Clare is too cruel. However, I was impressed by the depth of their love. When I watched this trailer, it seemed to re-create of the mood of the original faithfully. In addition, I was glad of Rachel McAdams playing Clare. I really like her. I think she is perfect for Clare who has an inner fortitude. I have ever watched movies of Rachel of "HOT CHICK", "MEAN GIRLS", "THE NOTE BOOK", "RED EYE" and so on. She is so wonderful actress. I recommend you watch her movies. I also recommend you read or watch "THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE." Release in Japan of this movie is undecided, but would release surely though it is just my expecting.

TAMANA

If you want to enjoy summer thoroughly, you should go to the fireworks event.

I went to Hanako's house in Tamana with Maki, Chihiro and Yumi on August 7. The purpose of our going to Tamana was to go to the fireworks event. It was very hot, but fine day. We didn't wear a yukata (Japanese summer kimono) because it is very hot and messy. Only Hanako wore it because she were going to go to the fireworks event with her boyfriend. Maki, Chihiro, Yumi and I got the best possible position for to see fireworks. Then, we were able to see it in just under. I was impressed by the beauty of fireworks very much also this year though I have seen fireworks there every year. I recorded a video of finale of fireworks with my digital camera, so you can see it in the video above. Maki and I put out at Hanako's house after the fireworks event had finished. Hanako and her family were very kind to us. I really appreciate to them. I enjoyed very much. However, I was sorry that Rika could not come there because of the part-time job. I think that she got tired so much because of the part-time job on that day. I wish all of "THAT'S SAKAMOTO" can gather next.
