Tokyo

I went to Tokyo with my friend last Saturday because I watch a concert. We left about 9 and went to Tokyo. Then, we went to Odaiba. We had lunch in a restaurant. We could see sea and beach there. I felt a kindly breeze. Then, we went to Yoyogi gym because we get concert goods. However, we didn't buy concert goods because there are a lot of people. Probably, there are more than 3000 people. Then, we went to Sibuya and my friend bought clothes in 109. Then, we went to Takeshita street.

Then, we went to Yoyogi gym at 5. The concert began from 6. I was so excited because I could see my favorite singer. Everyone was so cool and cute. There performances moved really me and a lot of fans. July 10th is the birthday of celebrity a member. So, we all sang a birthday song and kept her birthday. She was very happy this surprise. I also felt happy. I enjoyed the concert and the concert became a cherished memory in my life. After the concert, we bought concert goods. I bought towel.

Next day, we got up about 7 and we had breakfast. We left a hotel before 8. Then, we went to Yoyogi gym to buy concert goods. We stood in line for about 3 hours. When we were standing the line, we listened their rehearsal out of Yoyogi line, we listened their rehearsal outside the Yoyogi gym. I was so excited. We bought 3 concert goods each other.

Then, we went to Akihabara and Asakusa. I was in Asakusa for the first time. I thought Asakusa is historical townscape. I watched Kaminarimon, and took pictures.
We ate buckwheat and dumplings. They were so delicious.

Then, we backed Kumamoto. This Tokyo trip was became great memories in my life. And, I became love the group more. I want to go concert again. Their shining aspects were impressed me. They live life to the extreme to make each dreams reality. I support them in the future.

second game

I played a football match yesterday. We won the game and the score was 2 to 0. I didn't score a goal, but I recorded an assist in the game. I was happy that I recorded an assist. However, it is regrettable that I didn't score a goal. I aim to score 8 goals in 4 games. I only scored 2 goals in 2 games. So, I have to score 6 goals in 2 games. I try header!! My team aims at full victory and we won all games now. We use good coordination between DF, MF and FW more and I want to aim the top.

My team is a close knit team. I think if we never give up until finish games, we can aim at full victory. Yes, we can!!!

Japan has four seasons in a year.

First, spring. A lot of cherry trees come out in spring. The cherry blossom is the national flower of Japan. I went out to see the cherry blossoms. Many flowers also come out. They are so beautiful.






Second, summer. Many pople go bathing in seas and pools. We also go to summer festivals. Many boothes are opened there and I often eat a shaved ice. It is so delicious. I also like to watch rocket there. Rocket makes me happy.










Third, fall. My favorite season is fall because my birthday is in fall. And, Food is so delicious. I especially like persimmons, pears and chestnuts. Many leaves turn in autumn. Trees aflame with red and yellow leaves are so beautiful.









Finally, winter. It snow in winter and grounds are covered with snow. We can go skiing, snowboarding and skating. I went skating once a year when I was an elementary school student. I like skating very much. I want to go Sapporo snow festival because craftsman makes building, character or person by snow. I also want to enter a kamakura.
