 I would like to share with you a concert I went to last weekend.  Last week, an artist named 'Sumika' performed at Osaka-jo Hall.   Do you know the artist Sumika? They are a four-piece band that sings a variety of songs, from fun songs to more somber songs. I am not a big fan of theirs, but I wanted to go to a live performance of the artist anyway, so I applied. However, my friend who went with me was completely fascinated by them and by the end of the concert, we had become their biggest fans. I want to go and watch their concert again!  It was also nice to be able to do a little sightseeing in Osaka while staying there. I was also able to eat kushikatsu for the first time in a while. It was very delicious!  Have you ever been to a concert？

 Today I went to an outlet mall in Kurashiki. I like to go to various outlet malls. However, I feel that the outlet in Kurashiki has the best selection of stores and the best discount rates.This time I went there to buy winter clothes.  Usually I go with friends, but this time I wanted to take my time to choose the clothes I wanted, so I took the train alone. 　It was my favorite store, and because they were having a sale, I was able to get a few cute outfits at a very reasonable price. As a college student, I need to wear my own clothes every day, and I need a lot of clothes. Therefore, this shopping was very worthwhile. Then, I got tired of shopping on the way there, so I took a break for a drink at Starbucks.I drank 'Butter caramel millefeuille frappuccino'.It was very delicious. I was very cold, especially in the outlets without walls or roofs, but I had a great time. I want to go back and enjoy shopping again. Do you often go to outlet malls?

 I would like to share with you a movie I recently saw.  I watched a movie last week with my friends called "Suzumeno-tojimari".  Originally, I did not intend to go watch much of it. However, I went to watch it since my cousin, who is from Ehime Prefecture like me, recommended that part of the movie was set in Ehime Prefecture.I was impressed to watch that part of the story in the movie really took place in Ehime Prefecture.It was far away from my home town, but I was very impressed with the accurate depiction of a place I had been to.  Also, Ehime dialect appeared in the film, which made me feel nostalgic.  The other parts of the story were also very interesting, and I was engrossed in it from beginning to end.  I thought it was a movie that could be enjoyed by people of all ages, from children to adults.If you have time, I hope you will go and watch it.  I would be happy if you could tell me what movies you have seen recently that you found interesti...

 I would like to introduce some of my favorite singers. The first one is YOASOBI. The unit became famous for "Yorunikakeru," but they have also released many other great songs. My favorite song is "Yasashii-suisei". The song starts with a captivating voice and a wonderful melody that brings a story to mind. The second song is "Ryokuousyokusyakai. The group is characterized by their powerful voices and fresh tones. Their songs always cheer me up. I especially recommend "sabotage," which was the theme song for a TV drama. It was the theme song of a TV drama, so many people know it. Whenever I lose my energy, just listening to the music makes me feel a little more positive.  Music is an essential part of my life. Do you have a favorite singer?

 Last time I was back home, I went fishing with my family and my cousin.  My hometown is in Ehime Prefecture, closer to Kagawa Prefecture, but there are many fishing ports in the 'Nanyo' region of Ehime Prefecture, closer to Kyushu, so we drove three hours to get there.  On the way, we stopped at a roadside station to buy lunch boxes and eat them on the beach, and also to eat tangerines.  As a side note, you can often find tangerines floating in the sea in Ehime.Especially in the Nanyo region where we visited this time, there are numerous terraced fields of tangerines, and tangerines sometimes fall onto the road.  We visited several fishing spots, but there were not places where we could catch fish.  However, the last place we stopped at had a tremendous amount of fish and we were able to catch a lot.  We caught about 30 fish (scorpionfish, wrasse, and rockfish), among others.  On the way home, we stopped by my grandmother's house in Matsuyama....

 I would like to introduce three of my favorite cartoons. The first is One Piece. It is a very famous manga and I am sure many of you have read it. Since I hane read it very little, so in March when my entrance exam was over, I read everything from the first volume to the latest issue all at once. I often get bored with Manga, but I was able to read it all the way to the end without getting bored. It is a manga that is not only very interesting, but also teaches me about friendship and teamwork. The second is 'Gin-no-saji'(Silver Spoon). This is not a very famous manga. It is a story about the main character who enrolls in an agricultural high school and while living a fulfilling and unusual high school life, he thinks about what is important in life. He learns the preciousness of life by processing his beloved pigs into bacon and taking care of horses and cows for example. Also, all the food in the manga looks delicious and makes you hungry when you read it. The third is Space...
