I celebrated my friend's birthday the other day. She became 19 years old. She likes to eat, so I treated her to shabu-shabu. We went to Shabuyo. The shabu-shabu was of course delicious! The waffles I baked myself were very tasty!
There are so many things I want to do with her. I want to go out to eat again and travel. And next year, on her and my birthday, she and I are coming of age, so I want to have a drink with her.
I came back my local home in winter vacation.
First, I met my high school friend. I was so happy to see her after a long time. We went to illumination. There were many colorful and cute decorations. My favorite one is wisteria flower's illumination. We took a lot of pictures and had fun. However, it was very cold!!!!
Second, I welcomed a happy new year with my family. We ate a lot of delicious food such as mochi and "osechi". It is a food served during the New Year's Holidays( January 1st and 3rd). Of all them , I like the "Kurikinton" is the best.
I spend special holidays!!!!
In the acoustic circle, I played guitar, sang and played piano. We performed four songs, so it was hard to practice. However, I spend wonderful time. I played a song called "Answer" on the piano. I played a song called "Ai wo tsutaetaidatoka " on the guitar. I sang a song called "Kinmokusei no yoru" and a song called "Cinderella Boy". I enjoyed this concert.
In the a cappella circle, we performed A whole new world from Aladdin. I was in a band freshman year. I'm glad I could make it work well.
My artifact is a guitar. It made of wood and metal. It color is wood brown and cream. It is as big as sitting hight. So, it is heavy. There are 6 strings, which are flipped to make a sound. I play with a string-plucking tool called a pick.I can play 6 strings at the same time or one by one. I can make something sounds. I usually play 6 strings. I play the guitar and sing myself. I play using a progression called chords. There are 156 chords. Among them, I play with simple chords. For example, C, G, D, and A etc. I hurt my finger because I hold down strings strongly. People who play the guitar often have hard finger skins.
My cousin gave me a present to celebrate my high school entrance. He says, “ Congratulations on your entrance!” I was so happy. So I say, “ Thank you so much.” During the high school, I was in a band with 6 people. The group member is only girls. We performed at the school festival. My part is vocal and guitar. I enjoyed playing in front of a lot of people. I cherish this guitar because it has those memories. Another reason I like it, My favorite musician is playing the guitar very well. My favorite musician is “ Aimyon”. Her song is so cute and interesting. I practicing her song because I want to like her. Now, I belonging to an acoustic circle. I continue to practice it. And, I want to play way to arpeggio. It is a way to play one string at a time with your one finger. I want to play the guitar more well. My artifact has great implication for my life. I appreciate for my cousin. Thanks to my cousin for giving me a guitar, I found a hobby and I get a lot of memories.
This guitar changed my music style. I used to like K-POP. However, I like Japanese rock style now. I became fascinating about music of using guitar. Starting some instrument is affect music tastes. I think many people who play the guitar maybe say “I like acoustic style music and rock band”. On the other hand, I think many people who play the violin maybe say “I like classic”. It is cultural influence.
Then, as digitalization progresses, EDM and vocaloid are becoming popular. In my opinion, many people would like animation. That’s why, they also like EDM and vocaloid. So, the number of songs that use acoustic guitar has decreased. The trends of songs has changed in the last few years. Currently, sales of acoustic guitar is decreasing. It is a problem of society.
I went to my favorite cafe with my friend last week. It is "&cafe". It located at the west exit of Niigata station. This cafe has fruits sandwiches, egg sandwiches, and some sweets. Then, I ate avocado egg sandwich. It have three slices. This bread is fluffy, and sweet. It was full of volume and very delicious!!!
In addition, I ate Croffle. Croffle is a combination of waffle and croissants. It is a croffle with cream, ice cream, and fruit sandwiched between them. I choose strawberry croffle. It is crispy, sweet, and sour taste. So, I think it is so delicious.
This cafe has many wonderful sweets. So I love &cafe. If you like sweets and cafe, You should go to this cafe. I recommend &cafe!!!
First, I walked around yahiko park in day time. It was sunny day so autumn leaves red is so clearly. It was raining according to the weather forecast, but I was very happy that it was sunny. There are various colors in the autumn leaves. Red, orange, yellow, and brown. I like yellow the best.
Next, I went to Yahiko shrine. It was as powerful as it appeared in the movie. It has a traditional taste. I made a donation and made some requests.
Yesterday, I went to Machida Shouten with my friend.. It is famous ramen shop in Takeo Inter. It was crowded even at 9 o'clock. I waited, but it was so delicious. I ate miso ramen. I like miso the best among taste of ramen. This shop's miso ramen’s soup is rich! I recommend this ramen shop!!
After eating ramen, We went to McDonald’s. I ate “Sankaku choco pie cookies and cream”. It released on November 10. It's the second favorite of the three flavors. No.1 is sankaku choco pie black. No.3 is sankaku choco pie custerd. I like every McDonald’s food! I want to go eat every time a new foods comes out. Next time, I want to go eat black sunder thunder fleury.
