Yuki's blog http://yukipyuri.posterous.com About my daily life in Japan posterous.com Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:10:00 -0700 “Enchanted” – a world without “happily ever afters” http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/enchanted-a-world-without-happily-ever-afters http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/enchanted-a-world-without-happily-ever-afters

“Enchanted” is a 2007 American fantasy musical film, produced and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It’s calledMahouni-Kakerarete” in Japan. The catch phrase is “The most incredible magic in Disney history.”

Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in Andalasia, an animated fairy tale world with talking animals. Prince Edward fell in love with her and got engaged in one day. However, his stepmother, Queen Narissa, was apprehensive about being usurped as queen by Giselle. So she threw Giselle into a portal that transported her to a world without “happily ever afters” (modern, live-action New York City). Then, she knows the true love.

This is a new kind of fairy tale story that has not ever been before. Princesses appear in the Disney movies and talk with animals, sing an impromptu song with their partners, and always wear a big dress. Actually, it’s unnatural in the real world. What if such a princess came in our real world? What would happen? This is the highlight of the film. Try to make sure by yourself. Interesting occurrences are awaiting you. What kind of animals can talk with her in the real world?

I also liked the music of “Enchanted”. There are fifteen songs on the sound truck. I recommend you below four songs.

1.    True Love’s Kiss

2.    Happy working Song

3.    That’s How You Know

4.    Ever Ever After

These are so suited to the film. Songs makes me remember the each scenes. Please enjoy “Enchanted” with the music. I recommend this firm to someone who doesn’t like Disney animation so much ever and who likes love story or comedy. I give the firm four stars. An unbelievable end is awaiting you.

Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:40:00 -0700 Review of "Tangled" http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/review-of-tangled http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/review-of-tangled

<Summery>

"Tangled" is a 2010 American computer animated fantasy musical film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series and it was drewn in 3D cinemas. In Japan, this movie is called "tou-no-ue-no Rapunzel". Tangled is loosy based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" by the Brothers Grimm

Rapunzel, a long-lost princess, lives isolated in a tower with Gothel, whom she believes is her mother. Gothel had kidnapped Rapunzel when she was a baby because Gotel wanted magical golden hair that kept her young. She knew Rapunzel's magical hair, if cut, would turn brown and lose its magic. Every year on Rapunzel's birthday, her kingdom sends thousands of lanterns into the sky wishing their lost princess would return. On her eighteenth birthday, Rapunzel asks Gothel to let her see the floating lights, but Gothel says no because the world is full of dangers.

Meanwhile, a thief, Flynn Rider steal the tiara of the missing princess from the castle and he chased by the kingdom guards.He run away, and he arrived Rapunzel's tower by chance. Once inside the tower, Flynn is knocked unconscious by Rapunzel with a frying pan. She hides his tiara and  makes a deal with Flynn: a journey to the "lights" in exchange for the tiara.

Rapunzel disobeyed Gotel and her heart leaped with joy becouse she went out from the tower for the first time. On the other hand, Gotel came back to the tower and she noticed that Rapunzel wasn't. Gotel began to look for her.

 

<Good Points>

The picture is very beautiful. I watched this movie in 2D, but Rapunzel's hair is lifelike. Rapunzel's voice is dubbed by Nakagawa Shouko. It's so cute voice and suitable. It is interesting Rapunzel and Flynn's dialogue back and forth. I think if my moter was not my real mother and she was a kidnaper, I would very depressed. But she recovered from her shock soon. Her behavior to overcame her all handicap makes us positive. I thought it was just like characteristic of Disney animation. Disney always gives us dream and hopes.

 

<Bad Points>

 I watched it after the disaster in east of Japan. "Tangled" has a scene of like Tsunami. I makes me sad when I watch the scene. I don't have any bad points in this firm.

 

<Final thought and recommendation>

My best scene is when Rapunzel goes out frorm the tower for the first time. First she was afraid of to go out, but she called her courge and tried it. I was impressed. I thought I have to challenge the new things with fearless. I recommend this firm for people who loves fairy tale and love story, and wants to be vigorous. Tangled became  my most favorite film in Disney animations, so I give the firm FIVE stars. Try to watch!

Tue, 31 May 2011 18:12:00 -0700 My Favorite Song http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/my-favorite-song http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/my-favorite-song

I like Taylor Swift. I come to school with litening her song everyday. Especialy I like "You Belong With Me".

<Back ground>

Taylor Swift  (born December 13, 1989) is an American  country pop singer-songwriter, musician and actoress. She is very famous and popular by teenager in the world. In 2006, Taylor started activity at Big Machine Record, and she released her debut single "Tim McGraw", then her self-titled debut albam, which sold more 61,000 copies  in its first week. In November 2008, Taylor released her second albam, Fearless, and the recording earned her four Grammy Awards, including the Albam if the year at the 53rd Grammy Awards. She was named Artist of the year by Billboard Magazine in 2009.

 

 <About the Song>

"You Belong With Me" is a country pop song, co-written by Taylor Swift. It was released on April 21, 2009, by Big Machine Records as the third single from Swift's second studio album, Fearless(2008). Swift was inspired to write "You Belong with Me" after overhearing her male  friend arguing with his girlfriend through a phone call; she continued to develop a story line afterward. The song contains many pop music elements and its lyrics have Swift desiring an out-of-reach love interest.Here is quote of the song.

She'll never know your story
Like I do

But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And i'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

If you could see
That i'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
You belong with me

  Taylor compares two girl, the girl friend and a childhood friend. The girl friend is fashonable and gets a lot of attention. On the other hand, another girl is quite indifferent to her clothes and a rather inconspicious student. But she has confidence that she more understand him than the girl friend and she hopes he notice it. I think the words are so cute.

 <Why I love this song?>

I love this song because her pure mind is cute. She never give up if he has a perfect girl friend. She may give in his girl friend in appearance, but she thinks that she doesn't lose how she be in love him. Taylor encourages girls in all over the world through this somg. I like the PV too. It 's just like a TV drama. Try to watch!

Thu, 26 May 2011 06:02:00 -0700 My Hobby Is Learning about Health. http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/my-hobby-is-learning-about-healthy http://yukipyuri.posterous.com/my-hobby-is-learning-about-healthy

I like learning about health. I often read books and magazine about it. For example, FITTE and a book of Erica Angyal.

FITTE introduces some method of exercizing and how famous celeblities who have a good style can keep their body slender. The magazine sometimes has a supplement, for example exercizing DVD and a booklet of recording diet. Erica Angyal is a nutritionist, health consultant, speaker, and author of five books on health and beauty. I bought her book, "Sekaiichi no bijyo ninaru Dietto". I could learn to worry about calorie is not important. The most important thing is what I eat. She said "Avocado is an essence for beauty","Good oil makes you beautyful", and so on. I have some avocados  always ready in my fridge.

My breakfast is a fruit yogurt. I cut a banana or apple in a bite-sized, and pour yogurt. Then, dust chopped walnuts and dried ginger. Lastly, put a prune on it. It tastes very good. To have a fruit and yogurt for breakfast is good for health.

I have some exercize DVD, for example, pilates, CORE rhythm, and curvy dance. Reacenly, I like curvy dance best. It was made by Kashiki Hiromi. She is a famous instructor of sport gym.  She is 48 years old. Unbelievable! She looks much younger. After doing curvy dance, I feel better. It's not so hard but very effective. I recommend it to you.
