Move to Newlyn

Its a song title from the british band, The Subways.
I love this song.
It reminds me of the days in Europe.

Move to Newlyn by the Subways

I'm gonna move to newlyn
Find the light inside of me
Sail the irish sea to dublin
What will life ever make of me?

I see the kids play in the street
In their world so happily
My cousin rick he still believes
There's a world he's yet to see
Carry on or fade away
Eventually there comes a day
We all see we are the same
With different things we choose to say
But what will you say?

I'm gonna hitch up to glasgow
Learn all the tricks i ought to know
An open book is still a mystery
So what will life ever make of me?

I see the kids play in the street
In their world so happily
My cousin rick he still believes
There's a world he's yet to see
Carry on or fade away
Eventually there comes a day
We all see we are the same
With different things we choose to say
But what will you say?

Over and down though hills and towns
In sunshine and in rain
No holding back, relif in that
I'll never feel the same
I'll go my own way

I see the kids play in the street
In their world so happily
My cousin rick he still believes
There's a world he's yet to see
Carry on or fade away
Eventually there comes a day
We all see we are the same
With different things we choose to say
But what will you say?

Two members from this band are now traveling around Japan and I could meet them yesterday. it was really really an accident meeting. After I wrote about Periscope in this blog, I wrote to fanmail to Periscope. then, they wrote to me that they are now in Japan and they wanna meet us. It was really pleasure to meet them.

Skagen Denmark

Today, My mother bought me the watch "Skagen" of Denmark in Mitsukoshi, Shinjuku. My watch of Seiko, which I have used for a six years, has become out of order, so she bought me the new one. Thanks a lot!

Skagen is a watch brand of Denmark. I really like watches with leather. So, there was no hesitate to choose this one. This watch is very simple and classic one. I love the color of this leather. and Of course also one of reason that I choose this watch is... it is made by Danisch designer^^ yeah I love denmark!!!!

The brand name Skangen is the city name of Denmark.
I hope I can go there next summer!!

"She Moves In Her Own Way"

So at my show on Monday
I was hoping someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey

So now you pour your heart out
You're telling me you're far out
You're not about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things

Well uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day

And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered furs and spangled boots
Looks are deceiving
Make me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams, honey
Yeah

So wont you go far
Tell me you're a keeper
Not about to lie down for your cause
And you don't pull my strings
'Cos I'm a better man
Moving on to better things

Well oh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
Well oh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day

yes I wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs
yes I wish that we never made it
Through all the summers
They're keeping us instead of
Kicking us back
Down through the suburbs

But uh oh, I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show just to hear about my day
But uh oh, oh I love her because she moves in her own way
But uh oh, oh she came to my show just to hear about my day

Notting Hill

As I wrote, I went to Notting Hill in London. As I expected, Notting Hill was a cute city. There are beautiful houses with various colours.

The Secret of Garden

I saw this movie when I was ten or eleven years old. Today I happend to find this movie in my house. Then I watched it. I remember the feeling which I felt when I was ten years old. I used to be always amazed such a Britisch accent, britisch clothes, britisch Villa. I envyed the child who were in India because of thier parents jobs. In this movie, the clothes which children wore were so elegant and beautiful and of course the scenes of gardens, too.

I wish I could habe such a house and such a secret gardens.
