favorite song-2

Ally McBeal知ってますよね?

その主題歌"Searchin' My Soul"を歌っていたのが、Vonda Shepard。

弁護士のドラマなのに、必ず歌が挿入されている、ちょっと変わったドラマでした。

Vondaなしではこのドラマは成立しないっ!って感じでしたね。

そして、この時期になるとChristmasの曲が必ずかかっていました～♪"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"良い曲ですねぇ～。

Favorite song

今、飽きるんじゃないかってくらいに、何度も何度も繰り返し聴いているのが、
Natasha Bedingfieldの"Unwritten"。
The Hillsの主題歌です。←これならピンとくるでしょ?
この曲は、2007年のThe Grammy Awardsで"Best Female Pop Vocal Performance"にNominatedされたけど、残念ながら賞は逃しちゃったみたいです。あぁ～、この年は、Christina Aguileraが"Ain't No Other Man"で受賞してますねー。


I repeat a piece again and again these days.
"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.
This song is The Hills. If you heard it, you may recognize!
This song was nominated "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" of the Grammy Awards in 2007, but unfortunately it missed prize. Christina Aguilear won by "Ain't No Other Man". Ummm... That's understandable.

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
the rest still unwritten

(Gospel)
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open *****
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open *****
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

Zakky!

Guess who is there?

He is not member of WWE. He is Zakk Wylde!!

When I had a lunch meeting at HRC in Roppongi, Zakk was upsatirs! WOW!!

What a lucky coincidence!!

He was playing whole time. Actually that was a dealer show. He was invieted to play his Gibson guitars.

Thank you Zakky!

my deepest sympathies

Oh, my.

I heard with deep regret of the passing of Lica's grandmother. Please accept my sympathy. I know that grief of losing a grandmother. I know how difficult to accept reality, but only time heals everything.

That's true.

When my mom passed away, my teacher told me that the first 3 years you are not able to accept your reality, but somehow you try to understand. After 5 years, you can talk "dear departed" in your mind naturally. Believe or not it's true. And after 10 years, you can talk about "dear departed" to everybody without tears. You don't need to try, it leaves to your mercy.

Don't worry your grandma will always be by your side not matter what.

If you lose your spirits, you grandma feels let down. Don't you make her happy?

Once again, may her soul rest in peace.

Universal Studio Japan

さっきのELMOSは唐突でしたね。でも今回の旅行のベストショットです☆

Hee, hee I put ELMOs photo suddenly. I guess that picture is the best in this trip.

先週末、アラフォー女子2人の京都&大阪の旅へ行ってきました～。サスペンス劇場のタイトルみたい・・・。

My co-worker, Micchan and I tripped to Kyoto and Osaka in the last weekend.

びっくりするのが、2人とも晴れ女☆ってことで、天気はgoodでした～。関西地方、その週は金曜日・土曜日と雨だったのにね!USJ行った日は、晴天です。自分たちで自分たちの力を再認識しました(笑）

We luck with weather. All days were good weather even weather forecast was cloud and rain on Friday and Saturday. Can you believe it? Especially when we went to USJ, it was perfect clear sky! That was nice.

で、そのUSJ午前中はちょっと曇っていたので灰色空ですが・・・めいっぱいChristmas気分。

In the morning, it was coldly, and this picture was grayish... USJ is totally Christmas.

とぉくの方に見えるのは、巨大ツリーです。SPIDER-MAN the rideの近くにあるんです。夜になるとイルミネーションがとっても綺麗です。ツリーの色が変化して、キラッキラ輝いてます。

In the distance, you can see a Christmas tree. It's huuuuuuuge! The night time is perfect to see. Christmas lights are so pretty.

そして、そのSPIDER-MAN。なっ、なんとNew Yorkの街並みに登場～☆

ここ、Photo spotで、写真を撮ってくれるんですが・・・お願い、カメラマンさん写真を撮るときに、“Nice, Spider～!”って言わないでぇ～!!!（苦笑）E.T.の所では、“Nice, E.T.～!”って言われた。トホホ。

せっかくだから、SPIDER-MANの彼女MJみたいにしてみました～☆隣にいるのが、みっちゃんです。

SPIDER-MAN appeared in New York! Yes, here is photo spot. A photographer shoot a picture. When she shot, she said "Nice, Spider～" instead of "cheese". Oh, my...

I acted like Spider-man's girlfriend, MJ. ha, ha. The next to him, that is Micchan.

Christmasのパレード　"Happy Snow Party"やっていました。ここにも、もちろんELMO～♪でも、その隣のジンジャークッキーが気になりませんか?おにぎり型の顔のジンジャークッキ!!!

You can see Christmas parade, "Happy Snow Party" in the park. Here is Elmo, again. I can't help paying attention to ginger cookie because his face is inverted triangle shape. His face must be round... don't you think?

Snoopyエリアで、ルーシーのpsychiatric helpを受けてきました。

I got Lucy's Psychiatric help!

まざってきた～☆

Can you find me?

**********************************************

そして、夜は、USJから東梅田へジャ～ンプ!!

一緒にお仕事している会社が経営しているお店へ行ってきました～。

金本知憲プロデュース「鉄人の店」鉄板焼き・お好み焼き です。

After USJ, we went to Higashi-Umeda.

We had a dinner at "Tetsujin no mise" in Ohatsu Tenjin. This shop is produced by Mr. Kanemoto who is baseball player and also is owned by a company I know. An acquaintance booked for us.

“おいしぃっ!”

今回の旅行で何回行ったかな!?

I have no idea how many times I said "Yummy!" in this trip.

最近オープンしたばかりのお店なので、お好み焼きのお店らしくなく、とーっても綺麗です☆

1～3階まであって、ひろびろ。

This restaurant has opened recently, so it's so beautiful and clean.

豚トロの焼き物、豚玉、ネギ焼きetc、と、みっちゃんと宴してました～。

We had Tontoro-yaki, Butatama, Negi-yaki, etc. Oh, everything was soooooo good.

京都・大阪の土曜日は無事終了～。

（って、金曜日はいつか書くね♪）

Saturday was over.

(I'll write 1st day thing someday... hee, hee.)

ELMOS

One little, two little, three little ELOMO～♪って

歌いたくなるくらい、たーくさんのエルモs!!

Universal Studio Japan、Hollywood AreaにあるBeverly Hills Boulangerie店内にELMOSがいます。じゃなかった、売ってます。

このELMOS、『エルモのスマイルシュークリーム』という名前で売られていますよぉ～♪

￥430なりぃー。

見るのは楽しいけど、さすがにエルモ・ファンとしては食べれませんねぇ～。

そそ、USJにSnoopyまんとKittyまんも売っているんですが・・・これも可愛すぎて、ほおばれません。

むりぃ～!!

glitter lights

なんとな～く、Christmasライトがあっちこっちに見えてきましたね。

うーん、Thanksgiving Day前だからまだちょっと早いんだけどなぁ～。

でも、ライトを見るのは好きです♪

ウキウキしちゃいます。

下は、東京オペラシティと新国立劇場の間の階段です。

階段にライトが着いていて、ステージのように華やかです☆
