Which do you often go to supermarket or convenience store? If you live your parents’ home, you may go to convenience store more often than supermarket. On the other hand, if you live by yourself, you may often go to supermarket. I also often go to supermarket to buy material to cook. Generally, people use each shop with their purpose because the two shops have good points. Actually, there is a supermarket near by a convenience store around HJU, but each shop has special roles for buyers needs. I’ll talk good points of them for our life, our health and the environment. Then, I’ll judge which is better by comparing whole aspect of them.
1. Which is better for our life?
One of the biggest differences is that there are more processed foods at the convenience stores than super markets. It is good for us when we don’t have enough time to cook. For example, people who live by themselves especially buy processed foods because they have little time for house works, part time job and so on. Thus, convenience stores are very useful for our busy life. In addition, we can use many useful functions at convenience stores like ATM, postal delivery, Internet (at some stores) at anytime. Convenience stores make our life more effectually, so convenience stores win!
2. Which is better for our health?
If you think it with your long life time, can you keep eating convenience stores’ food? There are some chemical seasonings in processed foods to keep them fresh or delicious, so it may cause bad effect on your body. On the other hand, there are a lot of fresh vegetables, fish, meats, so you can cook and eat them peacefully. We can select the best food for our body at supermarkets. Moreover, we can polish our cooking skills! Supermarkets win!
3. Which is better for the environment?
When we think about economy, it is very clear! I think almost everyone say supermarkets are better for economy because they are positive not to use plastic bags. Not only the movement, they also cooperate to collect plastic trays, cartons of milk, so it is very good for the earth. In addition, supermarkets try to sell merchandise by cutting prices from evening, so foods won’t be waste, but convenience stores don’t try selling remain food and throw it away. It is big problem of modern people because we should use things with appreciations for the earth. Then, supermarkets win!
In conclusion, convenience store is better for our life, supermarket is better for our health and the environment so supermarket win in this battle. Then, supermarket may be good for these three aspects, convenience store has many other good entertainment points. Since that, it is difficult to decide which is better, but we should reconsider other side of convenience.
Let’s use things with respect!

Three Reasons Why Comedy Duo “DOWNTOWN” Succeeded
Almost everyone knows “DOWNTOWN” because they are one of the greatest comedy duos in Japan. I also respect them of their high level of sense of humor. Generally, a comedy duo has a straight man and a funny man except particular duos which have two funny men or changes their parts, and so on. This duo, DOWNTOWN has originally style, too, and it said that they has became a model of comedian duos in Japan. The straight man is Masatoshi Hamada called Hamachan and the funny man is Hitoshi Matsumoto called Matchan, you see. Their combination is polished spending long time from their distressing time to now. Then, I’ll talk about the reasons why they succeed that I think, skills of straight man (Hamachan), sense of humor of funny man (Matchan), and their trusting relationship.
1. Skills of Hamachan
Skills of Hamachan mean his comments and reactions for every Matchan’s funny jokes. Since the more straight men comment and react to their partner’s jokes well, the more they emphasize humor of the jokes, I think Hamachan’s great reactions make their Manzai (comic backchat) or conts perfect. This duo won’t able to work well without him.
2. Sense of humor of Matchan
Before the straight man works, he needs his funny man to joke, so almost all time Manzai or conts start with Matchan’s talks or jokes. Then, he shows his great sense of humor as a funny man. First, his talk isn’t strange but very usual, but he takes it to joke in the end of the talk. Though he often jokes with ironic, he talks it with humor so everyone doesn’t be unpleasant. He is a professional of wit.
3. Their trusting relationship
Ultimately, if there is no trust during duo, they can’t make good show even each person has many good points. Hamachan and Matchan recognize their partner’s character and ability each other, so they can do their best on the stage. Moreover their trusting relationship makes them comfortable and brings out the best in them. They have best relationship as best friends.
In conclusion, they have own great ability and skill as a comedian, and they can show their deep capacity with their partner. These days, there are many comedians and they are trying to be the best comedians like DOWNTOWN.

Yamzaki Masayoshi’s Music Album with Orchestra “WITH STRINGS”
Yamazaki Masayoshi’s music album is one of my favorite music albums. About three years ago, my friend gave me the CD as a gift because I like him very much. Whenever I listen to the CD, I can enjoy his quiet singing voice and great sounds of orchestra, so I recommend you to try listening to it. I especially like its tasteful voice, performance of orchestra and selections of music.
First, the reason I love this CD is because I like his singing voice very much. Although he is seldom loved by the people of my generation, he has the great healing voice and they should become his fan. When you are tired in your busy life, try listening to the CD! When you are sad about your love, try listening to the CD! If you listen to the CD after a heartbroken, you can’t listen to it without tears. His tasteful voice makes you relaxed and cheered.
Next, I’ll talk about the performance of orchestra of this CD. I like this one because harmony of the orchestra and his play of the guitar are excellent. The songs of introductions and interludes are full of plays of all kinds of instruments, so you can enjoy not only singing voice but also melodies.
I also love the selections of music very much. There are a lot of my favorite songs like “One more time, One more chance”, “セロリ” and “ツバメ” in the CD. There may be some songs which you don’t know, but the songs are worth listening. I think his world view is well expressed so your world view will be widely.

Sweets-Links post
Sweets – Links post
Eating and cooking sweets is one of my hobbies. I like most kind of sweets, especially cakes, muffins, custard puddings. I’m looking forward to come my birthdays and Christmases every year because I may have chances to eat them. On the days we sometimes eat a cake made by ourselves. It tastes nice but we have to eat same kind of cakes, so we sometimes want to eat other one. Then I go sweets shops.
When I think something to give someone’s special day, for example their birthdays, I often give sweets as a gift. Then, I go some sweets shops and I choose the best sweets that mach my images. I especially buy roll cakes, fruits tarts, shortcakes, and so on. It takes long time and I can’t find the best sweets easily, but I enjoy the time to choose every time. Though I can enjoy that, when I haven’t much time to go shops, I have to choose one quickly. Then it came to my mind to use the Internet because I can find sweets even I’m in my room. In addition, I can meet more sweets than I walk around. If you want to look lots sweets around Japan or foreign countries, you can search at “Sweets Gallery”.
I also like cooking sweets for coffee break and presents. If there is enough flour, sugar, eggs, I can make easy sweets like cookies, pan cakes, or puddings. It tastes good because I made it by myself, so try cooking! If you don’t know recipes much, you can refer to “スイーツランド”. You can look many recipes of various kinds of sweets.
As well as the site ”スイーツランド”, you can look some sweets recipes at “UCC”. There are not only the recipes, but also about coffee, so you can more enjoy coffee brake. Since I like coffee very much, I was very interested in the site to look at. You will know about the history of coffee, how to brew good coffee, question and answer, and so on.
I also love tea, so I like looking this site by Japan Tea Association. You can many kinds of tea and you will enjoy looking even you don’t drink it.
If you have much time, please try to cook sweets and you will be very relaxed and enjoy it. Sweets bring you happiness.
