HERO

I watched "HERO" of movie on DVD yesterday. This is very interesting movie. Leading actor is Takuya Kinura. His performance is perfect.

This movie is story of prosecutor. The role of prosecutor is Takuya Kimura. And he trace the truth. When I watched this movie, I was excited and moved. "HERO" is a video drama for the first time. Drama was very popular too. Of cause, I was watching drama of "HERO". Actually I wanted to watch the movie in cinema. But I couldn't go to cinema. If I watched this movie in cinema, I think I might enjoy this movie more. I recommend this movie.

By the way, I talk about Takuya Kimura. He is very wonderful actor, but he also a singer. He belonged to the group of "SMAP". "SMAP" is very famous singer group in Japan. Menber is five, Masahiro Nakai, Shingo Katori, Thuyoshi Kusanagi, Goro Inagaki and Takuya Kimura. They are very popular. Each of them also actor. My favorite SMAP's song are "YOSORANOMUKOU", "ORENGE" and "SHAKE" etc. Any songs are very good. So if you have never listened to them, please try to listen!!

What I think about my blogging

I think that my blog is a little lonely. I use picture sometimes. But I always only write diary, review or essay. Other students' blog is better than mine. Everyone use U-TUBE, photo and picture of cinema and so on. So other students' blog is very fun. When I read other students' blog, I enjoy. From now on, I will write the blog that everyone enjoys too. I also write many things. For example about music, about my family and about movie. Because I still don't achieve workload. I think it is very difficult to achieve workload. But I do my best.
