Shyohei often wondered what there is at the end of this holizon. World where the navy space and sky blue crosses with nothing, or a quite unusual world where the horizon eventually swifts up and deforms as if it is on the surface of four dimentional twist in the long distance. Such an imagination for color and geological world helped him develop his talent as an artist, he said.
>>21 Shouhei often wondered what lied beyond the horizon. A world where nothing exists except for the intertwining of navy space and blue sky? A mysterious world in which the horizon spirals and waves like a 4-dimensional coil? He explains that these images with vivid colors and intricate dimensions are what gave birth to his artistic sense.
>>45 For the last several days, it has been cool in Tokyo. You are lucky because you got to stay here while the weather was cool and nice. It had been really hot before you came.
>>48 Thank you for teaching me many things about India. There were two things that were especially memorable. First is that in India people speak many different languages. I guess that means Indian people may need a translator even when talkig among themselves. Second is that the percentage of buddhists in India is not so high. It was rather surprising.
>50 I don't recommend you to come Japan in summer because it is too hot and humid. Spring or autum would be better. In spring, we can see beautiful cherry blossomes blooming through end of March to early April. With fall it will be nice from October to mid Nobember. You should spend at least ten days seeing Tokyo and surrounding areas. You may sneak slowly into every small streets.
>>50 Japanese summer is not only hot but also extremely humid, so I don't recommend you visiting Japan in summer. Spring or fall would be nice. If you like to come in spring, come in the end of March or the beginning of April. The cherry blossoms will be in bloom. If you like to come in fall, come in October of in the middle of November. The weather will be perfect. Also you would want to spend at least 10 days visiting in and around Tokyo. Then you can enjoy walking all the little hidden streets of Tokyo.
【解答】(1)I suppose that everybody have promoted mutual friendship with telling the recent situation each other and enjoying ordinary chat over some cups of alcohol. However, enjoying talking ----- to be extreme, it ends up to the act of talking itself ----- is the best means to maintain their relationship well, so the contents of it fundamentally might have nothing to do with it.
(2)All of you might have experienced of telling what’s new over a cup of liquor or making a normal conversation each other in order to be better terms with your friends. But since enjoying making a conversation, to put it in the strongest terms, the conversation itself, is the effective medium to keep a good connection, the details of it may be far from the nature.
Most people promote friendship by talking about personal news and things that really don't matter as they drink alcohol. However, it's not too much to say that what we talk about is inherently no more important than the conversation itself to maitain the relationship of trust.
It's been a year since the day I last saw you. My feeling for you still stays the same in my heart. Maybe I'm thinking of you now more than that. I hope you come back to Japan as soon as possible. And I want to spend a wonderful time together much more than a year ago.
But a number of notable performers, including country singer Lee Ann Womack, Latin Grammy nominee Jaci Velasquez and Christian rock band Third Day, are slated to appear at next week's Republican National Convention in New York (Aug. 30-Sept. 2), bucking the left-leaning industry trend. Anti-Bush acts are making their case in song, such as those on the "Future Soundtrack for America" (Barsuk) and "Rock Against Bush" (Fat Wreck Chords) compilations. Others will do it on stage through outings like Vote for Change swing state tour, which boasts high-profile artists like Bruce Springsteen (news), Pearl Jam, the Dixie Chicks (news - web sites), Babyface and John Mellencamp (news), among many others
But will it matter when they do? According to a Billboard.com poll, the answer is no. Of 3,482 voters, 75% said the opinions of recording artists and other celebrities do not influence their political views. Only 8% admitted that they could be swayed, while 17% said their views were "sometimes" altered by the opinions of artists. Despite the influx of artists on the political scene, there are opposing views. People shouldn't vote for a Presidential candidate just because a rock star says so," veteran artist Alice Cooper (news) says. "And that's true whether it's Bruce Springsteen or Alice Cooper... I think that the rebellious spirit of rock'n'roll doesn't mix well with political fundraisers and electoral campaigning

>>78 The most enjoyable was a camp on July 18 and 19. We went to the camp with 12 people including my mothers friends. We enjoyed BBQ and fireworks on the 1st day, and went out for boating and hot spa on the next day. Outdoor-cooked soup and ribs were quite good with the BBQ. After the BBQ we tried fireworks together. We used some ready-set packages.
Then we held a surprise party. July 19 was my mother's birthday. Two of mother's friends brought a home made birthday cake for her. As she was not noticed beforehand, she was quite surprised and pleased. We went Yamanaka Lake on the 2nd day and rode a swan-shaped boat, which was capable for six at a time. My foot got tired after approx. 30 minites of pedaling. Then we drove onto a hot spa, which made me quite releaved. We got some traffic jams on our way home, however I want to go again together.
>>98 I've been fine, thanks. I'll go shopping tomorrow. Damn it, summer holidays are almost over! I wish I had some more holidays. What have you been up to? こんな感じはどうですか?
When we took him to the hospital, the vet told us that it was too late and he was inoperable. He recommended that we take a good care of him and feed him well as he had only a half year left to live. However, it is very hard for us to do nothing but await his imminent death.
>>104 We took our dog to a hospital. The doctor said, "I'm sorry it's too late, nothing can be done to him any more. He will probably live only for another six months, so let him eat whatever he wants to eat while he is alive and treat him well." It is such a devastating situation for us just to have to wait for his death.
>>104 When I took my dog to a veterinary hospital, a vet said that your dog can't undergo an operation beyond cure. And he added that its life will be believed by him to be within 6 months of death so that let it eat whatever it like and cherish it as much as you can now. It's nothing but very bitter for my family members who don't have any choices exept for waiting for its death that will come soon.

We took Dog(犬の名前知らんけど) to the vet and he/she said that there is nothing he/she can do about it. Six months is all we have and all we can do is just to feed her/him good and take good care of him/her. I must say that just waiting for the time to come is the most tough thing for me and my family.

In Japanese, there is a curious expression "Mikka Bozu (lit. Three-day Friar)", meaning a person with little perseverance. The epitome of "Mikka Bozu" might be found in keepin journal. Not many can persist in writing what they have done and felt day in and day out, without feeling to tedium to continue. But some of those who accomplished this diurnal tedium task leave most of the work to their posterity. And, to the writer's most delight, these precious long-lasted journals sometimes come to the public.
