They are heros who help people.

But they are not real.

Real people do not have superpowers.

I think Christmas should be a national holiday in Japan too!

If you agree with me please send an Email to The Democratic Party of Japan.

Click on this link to send them an Email! http://www.dpj.or.jp/english/contact.html

Tell the Prime Minister  that you want a real Christmas in Japan!

If you do not think Christmas should be a national holiday in Japan, please tell the Prime Minister!

Today`s new word: Tricky

Tricky means skilled in clever tricks or dodges.


This soccer player is so tricky!

He made the defenders look foolish.

He pretended to kick the ball three times.

My Christmas plan

This Christmas will be special.

My son, Brian was born this August.

This will be his first Christmas!

My wife, Brian and I will go to Ireland for Christmas.

My mother lives in Ireland.

Photo by  http://www.flickr.com/photos/irisheyes/

She hasn`t seen Brian yet.

I want my mother to meet brian.

I`m sure she will be very happy to meet her grandson.

But Ireland is very far from Tokyo.

I`m worried about the trip.

Maybe Brian will not like being on an airplane for a long time.

photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/vox_efx/

I hope he will sleep and drink milk.

But he might cry and annoy the other passengers.

I will make a small gift bag to give to nearby passengers.

It will contain a note and a pair of earplugs.

The note will say:

"Hello,

My name is Brian.

I am only three months old and this is my first time on an airplane.

If I get scared I might cry. I`m sorry.

Please use the earplugs and enjoy the flight!

Love, Brian."

Don`t use your cellphone too much!

These days everyone has a cellphone.

 But maybe they use the cellphone too much.

Cellphones stop communication.

Make sure you don`t use your cellphone too much!

There is no custom of putting up lights for Halloween.

But now, some people want to put up Halloween lights.

I think this person is crazy about lights!





I think, soon, every holiday will have lights.

 This is a bad idea.

 I want Christmas lights to be special.

 If we can see lights so often, we will get tired of them.

My Summer

This summer vacation was very enjoyable.

I didn`t go to another country.

I didn`t travel in Japan.

I stayed in Fuchu almost everyday.

Fuchu is very exciting in summer.

I went to see a fireworks display in Fuchu.

It was held in the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu.

I sat down on the grass with my friends, ate snacks and watched the fireworks display.

It was amazing!

I also went to a festival at Okunitama Jinja in Fuchu.

Okunitama Jinja is very beautiful.

I ate delicious festival food.

There were so many people at the festival.

It was exciting.

Watching the fireworks display and going to the festival were fun, but something important happened to me this summer.
My baby was born in Fuchu!
My baby`s name is Brian.
He is a boy.
I am happy because he is a healthy and happy boy.
I enjoyed this summer very much.

JEDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know Jedward?


Jedward are a singing duo.

They are twin brothers named John and Edward.

They were born in Dublin, Ireland.

They had to change schools because they were bullied for their hairstyles and love of pop music.

They first appeared on the TV show "X Factor".

X Factor is a singing contest.

One of the judges, Simon Cowell called them "not very good, and incredibly annoying"

Actually, they can not sing very well but they have a lot of energy.

Many people attacked them but also many people supported them.

Roger Taylor (the drummer of Queen) said that "Jedward are not great singers, but eight-year olds love them... there's nothing wrong with that."

Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said they were "not very good".

But Jedward did not listen to the people who attacked them.

Jedward`s album is called "Planet Jedward"

My Golden Week!

I had a very nice Golden Week!

I didn`t leave Fuchu.

I just relaxed in Fuchu everyday.

But my Golden Week wasn`t boring.

There was a big festival in Fuchu.

So many people came to Fuchu.

I couldn`t believe it!

The streets were crowded.

At Japanese festivals, you can eat a lot of food on the street.

Usually, in Japan, you shouldn`t eat food on the street.

But at a festival, it is ok.
