Japanese Seiyu

Seiyu(声優) is a Japanese voice(声) actor(優) and work in radio, television, and movies. Seiyu, known as "voice actor" perform voice-overs for non-Japanese movies, provide narration, and also work as anime and video game character actors. Sometimes, seiyu sing song for their anime theme songs. In Japan, seiyu are very important because Japan produces many Animes. I like watching animes so I know many seiyu and I have favorites, too. Kugimiya Rie and Miyano Mamoru is my favorite seiyu, because they are acting many animes' voice. Rie's voice is very pretty, and sometimes her voice can be cool too! Mamoru's voice is very handsome or sexy, maybe. By the way, I want to be an seiyu future but not for my job. I want to be this just for fun. I know it's hard, but it sound fun!

Ali Project

Ali project is my favorite Japanese band, consisting of Arika Takarano (vocals & lyrics) and Mikiya Katakura (music & arrangement). I like how Arika sing like devil. She also create and sing many anime theme songs; for example, "The Forbidden Game", "Domain of the Holy Girl", and "Rose Jail Maiden" from anime "Rozen Maiden".

CLANNAD

CLANNAD is one of my favorite animes that I've seen before. This is a visual novel, and actually it was computer game first. The title means "family" or "clan" in Irish. Creator of this game, software company Key is also created animes; for example, "Kanon" and "Air". But my favorite one is CLANNAD.

This anime is a story about people's family and any other relationship. You should watch this or you can read manga by the way.

Boys Lax

I'm now doing a manager of Boys Lacrosse Team. My school is pretty new and this year is the first year that admitted as a real "team". In the team, four 11th graders, four 10th graders and nine 9th graders are playing lacrosse. There are one 12th grader, but I don't know what happened to him, Anyway, they get better and better every day practices. I am hoping to win the next game, Keio NY versus Keio Hiyoshi from Japan.
Yesterday, we start practicing at 3:30. My school cafeteria close at 7:15, but we forgot about that and we finished practice at 7:15. So Coach Jon ordered Chinese food for us. Coach Jon told us that this is for us manager! I had great time there and I want to continue managing this hard work and fun team. I want thank Coach Jon and all team players.

Attention to ALL Keio NY students! Come to the Keio NY's first lacrosse game on March 18, 2009! Our team will beat Keio Hiyoshi so come and cheer us!

Sleep Over!

My friend Shiori came over to my dorm room. I am living in the dormitory for Keio Academy students, as I wrote before. But Shiori is not living in this dorm because she is now living near to our school, she is actually a commuter.

First thing we did was to bake cookies. As I wrote about this before in "Cookpad", in the dorm, there are no oven, so I have to use microwave oven instead. I think we did fine baking cookies, but some were burnt. It tasted like sold cookies, so we were satisfy. I upload the picture of cookies.

Another thing we did was to order Chinese food. We actually ordered with other 3 friend: Hitomi, Manami, and Momoe. We ordered Chinese rice, chicken, soup, etc. It was very good and we had great time talking and eating!

I want Shiori come over to my room again. One thing that I could not do was my homework...

Cookpad

Today I'm going to talk about cookpad, my favorite Japanese cooking recipe website that you can share your original recipe and try someone's original recipes and post the picture.

I am living in dormitory in Keio Academy of NY. I like to bake cake or cookies, but I was having hard time making those stuff in the dorm. Reason why is there are microwave oven in the dorm but oven.

One day my roommate, also like to cook things, and I were trying to bake cookie by using microwave oven instead of oven. My roommate was trying to find the way bake things by not using oven and finally we found this website. Some recipe said you just need microwave oven to bake cookies. We actually did great on this and after that, we cook things by microwave oven every weekends. And here is example of cookpad recipe URL: http://cookpad.com/recipe/693849

And if you want to see my original recipe, visit here: http://cookpad.com/kitchen/1224604

By the way, if you want to try my cookie, ask me. BUT I can not guarantee how it taste.
