There is a small town in somewhere on the earth. There has lots of snow in winter. A little girl Towa is living that town. Her mother and father are loving her so much and her aunt also loving her. One day Towa asked her mother "Why I do not have a grandfather?" mother answered "Ofcourse you have a grandfather." "I have never met him, why mam?" "I think he is very busy. Certainly, he wants to meet you." "Poor grandfather!" Towa started to think about this christmas. "If mygrandfather is not busy, certainly he will come to christmas party. If he can absent his job ...get inspiration!" One day before christmas her mother asked her "What presents will you wish for Santa Claus?" "That's secret!" That night Towa wished for Santa. "Please send us much snow! And send my grandfather to our party!" That year's christmas, that town had heavy snow. Every shops were close. So every people in that town can enjoy the time with their dear. Towa's grandfather ofcourse came to her party with large present. "Hi Towa! I missed you so long time!" "Me,too grandpa! Merry christmas!"

HIV/AIDS

Japanese Foundation for AIDS Prevention

Japan Stop AIDS Fund
HIV infection is still spreading. It is therefore important to know correct preventive measures against HIV as well as to deepen the understanding of PLWHAs. In 1993, the Japan Stop AIDS Fund was established in order to collect donations which represent a growing individual understanding and sense of goodwill. The donations are to be spent for supporting PLWHAs and for promoting correct knowledge for the people. The Japan Stop AIDS Fund supports non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working for HIV/AIDS issues by distributing the donations among those NGOs.
How to distribute donations
1. Beneficiary NGOs of the donation and the amount of the benefit are annually decided and announced.
2. Beneficiary NGOs and the amount of the benefit are fairly decided by the steering committee, which consists of distinguished learned persons of the society.
Activities entitled to be beneficiaries

A. Social supports for PLWHA

B. Telephone counseling service

C. IEC activities on HIV/AIDS

I think people discriminate person who catch HIV/AIDS. This phenomenon occurs because of lack of knowledge of HIV/AIDS. To teach knowledge of HIV/AIDS such people, Japanese Foundation for AIDS Prevention needs money so I hope many people donate to this fund.

My Neighbor TOTORO

My Neighbor TOTORO

My neighbor TOTORO is one of big hit movie that was directed by Miyazaki Hayao. Miyazaki Hayao is famous person all over the world. The animation movies that directed by Miyazaki Hayao has very beautiful story. Those movies express about importance of nature and My Neighbor TOTORO express about that and importance of human relationship. Now I introduce summary of this movie. This story picks up somewhere in Japan and age is thirty years before from now. One family moved to a house which built in local. The member is father, mother, Satsuki(older sister ) and Mei(younger sister). The house was very old “It looks like a haunted house.” Satsuki and Mei said. Then they started to explore the house and Mei saw ghosts. It was pretty “Susuwatari” which are one of ghosts they live in old house and they stain old house with soot and they move to another house when people move to that house. Therefore Satsuki and Mei liked their house (because it is real haunted house)!! A grand mother took care of Satsuki and Mei lived in next house. She was very kind person. Satsuki and Mei’s mother was in a hospital for a long time. They had endured that loneliness. The grand mother knew about that so she liked and loved them. Satsuki and Mei also loved her. One day Mei played in the garden alone because Satsuki went to elementary school. At that time Mei found something transparent life. Mei pursued that because that fascinated her. When Mei passed through bush, there was a hole made by camphor tree root. And she went into the hole and she kept on running when the hole was end, she felt on something soft. That looked like enormous mole. That was enormous ghost…TOTORO!! Another day, Mei went there with Satsuki, but there was not the hole so Satsuki teased Mei. But Mei was not liar, TOTORO was prudent and TOTORO accepted only harmless child so he vanished the hole. But they did not know about that so Satsuki kept on teasing Mei but they lived at peace. One day a doctor called Satsuki and Mei’s father but there were not a phone in each home so a woman who had a phone in her home answered. The woman told the grand mother and she went to Satsuki and Mei’s home. They were very surprised and felt fear. Satsuki thought she had to call her father to tell that so they went to the woman’s house. When Satsuki called her father, an idea came to Mei’s mind she thought if her mother eat corns that Mei grew, with the grand mother, she will be fine. So she left for the hospital alone but she was lost. Every one in that village looked for Mei desperately. Satsuki ran through the village when she was at a loss, she remembered that Mei met TOTORO! She went to TOTORO’s hangout, that time there was a hole and Satsuki into the hole and she kept on running. When the hole was end, she fell on something soft that was TOTORO! Satsuki asked TOTORO to look for Mei and TOTORO granted it and TOTORO called “Nekobus” (Nekobus is a bus but that is huge cat. The passengers get into cat’s stomach. If you imagine “Nekobus”imagine a bus which painted like cat.) “Nekobus” flew and they could find Mei. TOTORO took Satsuki and Mei to the Hospital. Mei put the corn on the window. When their mother found that she said“I feel my daughters stand by me.” Satsuki and Mei heard that in “Nekobus” and the ending came. Many people moved by this movie. This movie’s story was written by Miyazaki Hayao and he also playwright this movie. And he directed this movie. This movie released in 1988 since then many people fascinated by this movie. While thirty-five days that movie mobilized about eight hundred thousand sixteen hundred and eighty people. And that movie got five hundred million and eighty eight million yen. That is amazing fact. This movie is animation so I introduce dubbers. Hidaka Nariko played Satsuki. Sakamoto Chinatsu played Mei. Itoi Shigezato played father. Kitabayashi Tanie played the grand mother. Takagi Hitoshi played TOTORO.
I do not like some movies that was directed by Miyazaki Hayao because his world view is hard to understand for me. So when I see his movie, sometimes I’m afraid. But I like My Neighbor TOTORO because of good story. I have older sister so I feel connection with Satsuki and Mei similar to our connection which with my sister and me. Mei is a naughty girl and also I am. Satsuki loves Mei and my sister loves me. So when I watch My Neighbor TOTORO I always remember youthful days. My Neighbor TOTORO picks up countries side so the audiences feel Satsuki and Mei live freely. When you bear a baby where do you want to live? City or countryside? I want to live in the countryside because there are many risks in the city. There are many dangerous seductions in the downtown. So I do not want to live in the city. I want to live in the countryside and let my children to play out side if I do that my children may be able to meet TOTORO!!

I'm glad because many people read my blog and asked about my town. I said my town has only one junior high school so some people think that school is very big but that is not correct. yhere are 480 students in that school. And it takes 20 minutes from my house to junior highschool by walk. And most beautiful sight in my city is sunset. To protect that sight I do not want anything new in my town.

Megune's Town

2005-11-01T21:52:00.000-08:00

Today I talk about my town. Megune's town is large but there is boring because Megune's town has rich nature. People proud of their town, so flooding nature is not bad for them. But when young people （especially teenager）want to spend a good time, there are noplaces to go and spend time. There are noshopping malls, amusement grounds and pubs. So when people want to spend a good time, they go to next town. Megune's town is large, so some pepople take 40 minutes to go to next town!! Megune's town is surrounded with woods, so there are much snow in winter. Winter will come soon and enerything will freeze. Ponds, ground and roads will freeze, so when you drive a car in Megune's town you must pay attention. Megune's town has four elementary schools and only one junior high school, so every stuent of same age know each other. I think that is good situation to bring up children. Megune's town has rich nature and land prices are cheap, so when you became old and build house, please move to my town and live together.

Welcome!
