Japanese Kimono

I will tell you about Japanese clothes that called Kimono. There are many kinds of Kimono in Japan. For example, Furisode, Tomesode, Mofuku, Tsumugi and Komon. Furisode is primary full dress for unmarried women. The longer the sleeves are, the more elegant they are. They are used for bridal costumes, coming of age day, New Year’s party and so on.

Tomesode is primary full dress for married women. The basic patterns are crane, turtle, pine, bamboo and Japanese apricot. The mothers of groom or bride, matchmaker and married relatives wear at wedding.
Mofuku is used at funerals and wakes. If you have daughter near marriage, you need to prepare it because it’s necessary for wedding.

Tsumugi is used for everyday clothes, shopping, theatergoing and so on. It’s named for each source. It’s very strong and for fashion. In addition, It’s not suitable for elegant scenes.

Komon is used any scenes except elegant ones. The patterns are same in one clothes. It’s for fashion and the most popular among experts at Kimono. It has no rule for coordination so it depends on your sense if you wear it well or not.

New Zealand's Food

Like Japan, New Zealand is an island country so New Zealand sea food is good. We can eat raw fish. New Zealand fish is cheaper than Japanese one. Crayfish is big lobster in NZ.
Wines are popular in NZ because there are many fields of grapes. Its taste is fruity and it’s cheap. The price is NZ$10(\700). There is Kiwis wine. It’s sweet so women may love it! We can taste it in the plane of NZ.
New Zealand dairy products is good and cheap. Ice cream is very tasty and there are many kind of cheese. There are many flavor of ice cream. Half of frozen corner is occupied by ice cream. The most popular one is hokey pokey. It's vanilla and caramel. Tip Top is famous ice cream brand in the world.

New Zealand's homemade cake is pavlova. It's a cake without flour. Instead of sponge, they use baked meringue. It's covered by whip cream and some fruits. The tea towels drawn its recipes are famous souvenirs in New Zealand.

Moon Festival

Moon Festival is held in August 15 by the lunar calendar in China. Chinese eat Moon cakes wishing family’s happy. Moon cakes were developed in Guangdong and its shape is round. Japanese may dislike its taste. There are traditional patterns on the cakes. Chinese present Moon cakes to someone important as their gratitude among friends and relatives.
Malaysians also celebrate Moon Festival and eat Moon cakes. There are many kinds of Moon cakes like cool or low sugar in Malaysia. A variety of packages are one of sales points.

Like Christmas or Thanksgiving, Chinese celebrate it on a large scale. When the moon rises, family watch it together and sing a moon poems. Moon Festival is based on a legend. The legend says Chang Er lived in the moon and she flew there. You might see her dancing on the moon during the Moon Festival.

MOON CHILD

I don't like movies because they are too long. But I saw a movie this summer vacation on DVD. The reason I saw this movie is my favorite vocalist appears the movie. I saw MOON CHILD. It is a fiction and Japanese movie and released in 2003.

I will tell you about this movie. This movie is about friendship of two men. In this movie, there are two main characters called Sho and Kei. They live in Maleppa in Asia. (It is not really town.) The town is terrible and full of violence, drug, crime and so on. They are friend but Kei is a vampire so he doesn't dies. The only thing Kei is afraid is sun shine. He will die if he has sun shine. They fight with Mafia. They make friends with new people but the relation doesn't last long. But Sho and Kei are still friends. During fighting Mafia, Sho is dying. Then Kei makes Sho vampire for helping him. And after that they die together in sun shine because they are tired to live as vampire. It's good and sad story.

hyde, a famous vocalist plays Kei. I like him. He is in L'Arc~en~Ciel, Japanese famous rock band. He is vocalist in L'Arc but, he also plays the guitar, drums, alto sax. He also appears on LAST QUARTER, Japanese movie. L'Arc~en~Ciel is now don't have schedule of concert. hyde is belongs to VAMPS and conducting a long tour now. He came Nagoya from 11th September to 24th for his concert. I went to the concert in 11th. It was very excited and their music was very good.

I think if Japan become like Maleppa or my friend is injured, it's sad. World should be peaceful. I learnt how great friendship is. It doesn't matter if friend is human or not.
