Unai's Room

  I like joker. I have seen many kinds of joker movies such as “Dark Night” and “Suicide Squad”. But I like “JOKER” the most. Last Monday, I saw it again. “JOKER” is a story of a man who has Pseudobulbar Affect. His name is Arthur. He was very kind man and liked to make people laugh. I like him, because he killed 6 people but he didn’t kill a colleague who treated him kindly. I also like his dance and how to laugh.   Joaquin Rafael Phoenix acted Arthur and he got Academy Award for Best Actor. He lost his weight about 24kg to act joker. I think his sincerity in his work is amazing. Like him, I want to get a job that can be devote myself to.   

 I went to grandfather's house on January 1th and saw my relatives and cousins.  We haven't seen for a long time because of covid-19. The youngest cousin was born a year ago and we seven cousins got together there for the first time. I am only girl in us and the others are all boys. We often play with ball, shogi, and so on. I wished my seventh cousin was a girl but I like him because he is very cute.   This picture is a scene we took a pictire together. We tried to please baby with sweets. It must have been funny how desperate we were. But I was satisfied to take good pictures.  

  Happy Year of the Tiger! May the year 2022 be happy and prosperous for you.  I went to a shrine in Fukushima prefecture with my family. In that place, I drew "omikuji", which means a fortune-telling paper strip. It was great fortune. I was so happy. I hope this year will be nice.  I want to try everything I want to do and see a lot of people who have a different culture and idea. And I want to visit overseas. I hope the coronavirus will go away soon.

 Last Sunday, I went to see the live concert in the university band club of my friend. There was a loud sound in the live music club and I was so excited. My friend was singing. It was so cool! I enjoyed her stage. Also, other band group sang "Kaibutu", which is one of my favorite songs,  I was very happy to listen to it!  I want to learn to electric guitar because my favorite artist play it. When I saw him playing at the first time,  I thought it was so cool! I want to become like him. If I get a job, or my life become stable, I want to start learning it as a hobby.   

 In Last week's blog, I wrote that I came to my hometown on Friday. And the next Sunday, I went shopping with my mother. We went to a bookstore and clothing stores in Fukushima prefecture. She bought two books and three clothes for me. I was so happy to have wonderful time with her. On the way home from shopping, we ate Obanyaki with custard cream! But it was not sweet so she and I misunderstood that we had a cold lol.   Anyway, I was happy I went home:)

  Now I am writing this blog in a train. I am going to go back to my hometown, Kitakata city in Fukushima prefecture. It takes 2.5 hours from Niigata city station. I am boring because my smartphone battery is 2% so I can’t use it.  Kitakata city is famous for its ramen. There are 120 ramen shops in there. Kitakata ramen is one of Japan’s three major ramen. The others are Sapporo ramen and Hakata ramen. The soup of Kitakata ramen is shoyu, and the noodle is medium-thick and curly. The famous and popular shops are Genraiken, Makoto dining, Bannai dining, and so on. I wanna recommend you to the ramen of Matu dining or Kikusui. Kitakata ramen is delicious so please try to eat it!  In Kitakata city, there are some strange foods related to Kitakata ramen. For example, ramen burger, ramenchi Katsu, ramen pudding, ramen ice cream, and so on. If you are interested  in these foods, try it!
