Oh, you like to watch movies?
What kind of movie do you like to watch?

I really love JIBURI series and I especially like TOTORO.

Because I remember that when I was so young and I watched the movie for the first time.
What JIBURI movie do you watch for the first time?

I watched the movie of JIBURI series is Kiki's Delivery Service in my first time.

I really like JIBURI series, but I have never watched it. How content is it?

Have you never watched Kiki's Delivery Service?
Are you like JIBURI?
I can't believe it.

Actually I have never watched it.

OK, I tell you about Kiki's Delivery Service.
The Heroine of this story is Kiki.
She is thirteen years old and her mother is a Witch.
Kiki must choose the way to spend life.

How did she choose?

She must choose that she live as a human or a Witch.

If she became a Witch, What kind of life style she have?

If she decided that she becomes a Witch, she must live alone, so Kiki left the house and went to different town.
In there she learns various things and grows up.

It's nice story.
I wanted to watch it, so I'll rent it and watch this weekend.
Thank you for telling the story about Kiki's Delivery Service.
Next I'll tell you my favorite JIBURI movie.
I like TOTORO, but I recommended you watch Grave of Fireflies.
This story is so sad, but you can know the terror of war and the history in Japan.
Please watch it once time.

I know the movie, but I have never watched it, because I heard the story is too sad . Although I'll watch it to learn the fearfulness.
There are other a lot of good movies, so please watch them all.

Episode 033 - Hanshin Tigers Talk

Hello, everyone.  My name is Takafumi, this is Masatoshi and Masaya. This is KSU Student Podcast.

1: Hi, How are you?

2: I'm fine, Thank you.

3: Me too. How about you?

1: I'm fine too.  Recently, I’ve been interested in baseball because "the premier 12" was very, very exciting.

2: Oh, it's good.

1: But, I don't know about baseball very much. It's a shame listening to basic knowledge on baseball...

3: We’ll teach you all about it.

1: Thank you. First, I want to know about "Hanshin Tigers".

2: I see. "Hanshin Tigers" is a professional baseball team in the central league. The Tigers’ home ground is in Hyogo. It is "Koshien.”

1: I thought that the Tigers was baseball team in Osaka.

3: Tigers were created in 1935. Then the name was "Osaka Tigers". In 1961, it was changed to "Hanshin Tigers"

1: .Oh, the Tigers have a long history.

3: .Yes. This year is the Tigers’ 80th anniversary.

1: But I don’t think that the Tigers are a strong team.

2: Umm, it's certain that Tigers hasn’t been a strong baseball team for a long time. But Hoshino Senichi became the director in 2002. And player's consciousness was reformed by substantial restructuring of the player and trade.

3: Then a league victory was achieved in 2003. Hanshin was reborn as a strong team which involves championship competition every year from here.

1: .Really, director Hoshino is wonderful. He made Rakuten win the victory, didn't he?

3: That’s right. There is also criticism, but I think it's apparent that he's one of the great baseball commanders

2: This year, we thought we would be 1st, but, finally we took 3rd place.

1: Yeah, I'm sad....

3: But "Fujinami Shintaro" was nice. He did pitch a perfect game on May 20th, they won 14 games, and got the title "Strike out leader ".

1: Fujinami is wonderful, too.

3: .Yes, Ohtani is very famous, but Fujinami is great too.

2: In next year, Kanemoto will become the Tigers' commander, and Fujikawa will return from Shikoku.

1: Oh, it's great. I'm excited.

3: Me too.

 

That’s all for today. Thanks for listening.

 

We hope you learned something new today.

In Tokyo Disney Resort, you can play, stay, shop, eat, talk and smile. Everything is entertainment. There are two theme a parks, many shopping facilities full of variety, and accommodations around Disney Hotel.

There are lines for every attraction. In addition, there are various shops and restaurants connected together. Your happiness can be surely found once you set foot in the park. Let's make a wonderful memory in Tokyo Disneyland.

There are five ways of enjoying. The first, you should use the Fast Pass. Disneyland has many popular attractions. However spring vacation or summer vacation is crowded, and the waiting time is very long. So it is recommend that buy a Fast pass.

Second, you should confirm the popular attractions which have been renewed recently.

Third, you should a photograph with a character and enjoy the contact.

Fourth, you should watch a show. Various shoes are performed every day.

Fifth, you should decide the purpose. The park very big and you can't see eveything. So I can enjoy it if I decide a purpose for going to Disneyland.

  I understand that there were many ways of enjoying.

  I want to go to Disneyland more and more.

  That's all for today. Thanks for listening.

  We hope you learned something new.
