Dear Class,
There will be no hokou lessons on 12/21 as I said. Please have a good holiday and if you have a chance to watch the movie "White Christmas," which was my plan, please do!
See you on January 16th. That will be our last class. We will have an exam in January during exam period. I am now thinking of having a speaking test. I will give you the details on the 16th after we have 3 film presentations. Presentation groups - please bring the DVDs to class and your handouts and notes. Let us enjoy the last class together to the full.

Blog#14: My favorite CM

Hi, I'm Ayako Kawanaka. Today, I want to introduce my favorite CM(commercial).
I love CM very much. It is so short, but a lot of massages and informations are concluded.
The best CM I like is "Soft Bank"'s CM. It is so popular as "Otousan sireas" . May be most of people know a white, cute dog.  He is a talent dog from Hokkaido. (His real name is "kai".)


I love this one very much. In Ichijyoutani, Otousan and his family discoverd the hiro of Showa's special effects, Ultra-man. Surprisingly, Ultra-man deliverd mail. Otousan's wife, Okasan said that "Great. In spite of his youth, he deliver mail for the earth."But, as you know, Ultra-man could not stay the earth over 3 minutes. When his chest lump on and off, he suddenly pedaled bicycle too fast. Otousan ran after and said "飛べばいいじゃないか (The best and simple way is fly away)" I like this comment because it makes me smile.
CM has full of devises, so it is so fun to see. I'm looking forward to see more variations of this series.

Blog #14: Chojuku

Emika Yura
Recently, it's gotten cold. So, please take care of yourself in this cold season. By the way, in this blog I want to introduce my favorite TV commercial. I like "chojuku" 's cm. Well,  "chojuku" is a bread which is sold by PASCO. In this work, Satomi Kobayashi is chosen to be the image character.
I like the scene that she make appetizing dishes by using "chojuku" bread. In the woods she is cooking for little guests. A little twin sister eat her dishes. I feel relaxed by watching this scene.
Also I pay attension to these dishes, they look like so delicious. So I want to make it at home. PASCO's homepage has those recipes and we can watch the cm. If you want, please check it!

Blog#14: Tokyo Gas Story

Hello. I'm Ayako Muto. The cold weather has set in. I hope that you are not catch a cold.
 Today, I introduce Toyko Gas company's commercial. People call it "Tokyou Gas Story".

 Do you know "Tokyo Gas Story"?  It is love story and it is related to Tokyo Gas products. An appearance actor and actress are Tumabuki Satoshi (the part of the hero of the story) , Konishi Manami(she act the part of tumabuki's former girlfriend), Azuma Mikihisa(the part of  Konishi's former boyfriend), Kiritani Mirei(the part of Azuma's sister), Tanoshingo(the part of Azuma and kiritani's sister). I think this commercial is very mysterious and I can't predict how does it end. That's why I want to watch the next installment of the this story.
 If you watch Tokyo Gas Story, please tell me your impression.  

Blog#14:My favorite commercial

 Hello, I'm Mio.
 It is very cold. In this season, I cann't live without a kotatsu.

 Today, I want to introduce my favorite commercial. First please watch it!
 Have you ever seen this commercial? This commercial was made by Toyota Motor Corporation. In this commercial, famous acters and an actress performed Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Jaian and Suneo. Moreover They was schoolchildren in the original, but they are 30 years old adult. Doraemon is one of the most famous Japanese animation and comic, so the commercial become the center of public attention.
 Now, the third story "Nobita no Dorabanare(Nobita don't reply on Draemon's help)" is broadcasted. This is my favorite story. The third story is this!
  

 In this story, Nobita wanted to drive a car for Shizuka he like very much, but he didn't have a driver's license. Doraemon took "Dokodemodoa(The door that we can go everywhere)" and "Takekoputa(If you attach it to your head, you can fly)" from his pocket to help Nobita. Nobita said "I don't want to reply on any tools!", but finally, he asked Doraemon to took "Dokodemodoa".
 Once he decided that he did not reply to any tools, but after all he reply on the tool. I think that this is the most interesting point.

 If you check homepage of Toyota "TOYOTA ReBORN", you can know detail. Please check it!
