Dear.Oversea's fans

You knew that I'm kepping my real birthday private.

So my fans give me the artifical birthday.
I made my major debut ten years ago to a day.
So that, 7th Nov. is my official birthday.

Then I thought, I wanted to give someone to my fans as a little my anniversarry gift.

I signed up twitter.

But I like write long sentences rather than tweet.
So that, my top priority of diary is this blog.
I'll tweet my curent fact（live & release info. etc.）, my nuts interrogations, and so on.
I'll try tweet in English, some times. I promise.

Follow me〜!

I think all of music has very private feeling for each author.
That's the way music is mean to be.

In particular,
Singer and Song writer are not allowed to break out the mold in Japan.
At least I think.

So that,
most of singer have to write songs for the sake of each images as ready-made.

But I don't want to write any artificial songs.
I want to give faces to my music.

The last original album "Licht（Light）" is my roots and natural posture of expression.
And "Rose and Peal" is my soul.

This album is very simple, and yet it has an organic my feels.

I will tell you about this album after its release.

First,
see and listen below!

Cross-fade of "Rose and Pearl"

Earthquake.

2011-03-14T03:38:00.002+09:00

I'm glad to talk with you about fairy tales whole the world.

I recommend a web site for you, below.

A web site of Japanese old fairy tales

I think "Little blue and Little yellow" （written by Leo Lionni） is the best.
Please try the book, if you have not read it yet.

What do you recommend about juvenile stories?

2010-01-22T19:50:00.002+09:00

I've been reading some English juvenile stories in the originals, recently.

I love fairy tales.
I can read and buy that lots of translated fairy tales in Japan.
But I hope trying to read in the originals written in English.

What do you recommend about them?

I've rather short-stories than long one.

Dear. Overseas fans

2010-01-10T04:42:00.003+09:00

You knew that I decided shut down to sing own songs last year.
And you knew that I changed my stage name in compensation for my decision, too.
I’m sorry about that.
But, I could not find a way without the decision.

Now,
I’m very happy.

I’m surely feeling about it listening my completed new tune.

I’m thankful for the day that I can feel such a feeling again,

I’m thankful for the situation that I can write own songs so naturally,

And, I’m thankful for your lots of love.

I declare I’m gonna sing again in this year.
This is the time raising of the curtain of "TSUKI AMANO's stage".

I feel that it's MY MORNING, now.
So that, I say for you,
"Good Moring."

Traditional Food served during the New Year Period

2010-01-06T04:19:00.007+09:00

Do your country or hometown have a habit of "Traditional New Year's Food" ?

In Japan, we have a habit to eat "OSECHI".

OSECHI are traditional food served during the New Year period.
The means "Celebration Food of the New Year".

This is the OSECHI.

OSECHI is an aggregate as many kinds of preserved（long-stays fresh） dish.
Mother or Wife cooked and bought them until 31th December in usual.
So that, they are not hot meal.
And we don't heat up them.
We eat OSECHI that their condition have gotten cold.

Why do you think about it?

Old Japanese men regarded "Cooking is an important duty as everyday of women".
But they thought like below, too.
"We should give a rest for women during New Year period."

So that, OSECHI like a preserved food.

I like OSECHI.
They're delicious.

Happy New Year !

2010-01-01T17:42:00.003+09:00

Happy New Year!

I wish this year will be more happy and more fruitful!

I had my hair cut.

She is my Veronica.

2009-08-23T08:38:00.007+09:00

One of my close girl-friend's going to hold a wedding celemony and banquet in October.
Her husband is my friend, too.
They already got married in June.

I met them when we were university students.
She said to me at the first time,
"Call me Veronica as my nickname."
She is a Japanese with a capital.
She has been a lil unique but I've liked the character for donkeys years.

When she and I were university students, we were often called "Sisters" by our professors and our friends.
Our looks were not similar to each other.
But our family name are the same.
And, in Japan, "Sisters" means "a combinaton", too.
We had always hooked up with each other everytime in those days.
I think it was the reason we were called "Sisters".

But, she's always behaved like a older sister for me.lol

I was very happy for heard of their marriage.

Dear my Veronica,
Wish you much love and happiness.

The Bon Festival Holidays

2009-08-11T02:37:00.003+09:00

The Bon festival holidays start tomorrow in Japan.

The Bon festival is a kind of a religious event holding memorial services for each ancestors.

At first, we go to our ancestor's graves as holding a big paper lantern in 12th August.
Next, we pick up the ancestor's spirits into a candle fire of the lantern, and we go home as holding the lantern.
And we move the candle fire to a candle on a Buddhist alter after get home.
After we stay with each ancestor's spirits for 4 days, we send back the spirits to their graves the same way in 16th August.

A lot of Japanese don't have a specific religion.
We are not religious people hardly.
'Cos some religions are mixed in Japan.
I think Japanese have tendencies to adopt convenience and joyful parts of various religions and events.

We enjoy Christmas, Halloween, St.Valentine Day, the Star Festival, and the Bon Festival…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR.TOKURA

2009-07-27T00:59:00.002+09:00

Today is Mr.Tokura's birthday!
He is my ex-music-producer.

He was down by a serious illness 3 years ago.
Still he have an aftereffect of a disease.
His left side body is insensible.

For example,
It's hard for him carrying something in his left hand.
He can't feel the weight of something as his left hand.

So that, he can't use any umbrella while he's walking even now.

I've bought some present for his birthday every year since I met him.
I always have worried about his birthday present every year.
'Cuz he is a person with peculiar tastes.
Well………me too.(lol)

If he could get over the aftereffect,
I will buy a special umbrella for him.

It's a my modest ……and mighty dream.

Inflammation of the cornea…

2009-07-12T05:04:00.004+09:00

Long time no see.

I have been sooo busy, recently.
I had not enough time to study English.

About 2 weeks ago,
I went to see an oculist(an eye doctor).
'Cos I have sore eyes.

The doctor diagnosed my case as inflammation of the cornea.
And I was diagnosed that required 'bout 4 weeks to heal completely.

I checked an enlargement of my eyes when I have a medical examination.
There were plenty of scars on surface my eyes.
They looked like worn-out-windowpanes.

The doctor prescribed some eye drops to me.

You knew that a mouth, eyes, and ears link together.

So that, I have to taste the flavor of my eye drops absolutely when I drop the lotions into my eyes.
They're toooooooo bitter.

Goddamn(T T)

COFFEE

2009-05-01T09:31:00.004+09:00

Do you like coffee?
How do you like your coffee?
Strong or weak?

i like strong coffee.
And i'd prefer to bitter taste than sour taste.

i have alcoholic allergy.
So that I've never drunk any alcohol drinks for 'bout 8 years.
I've drunk coffee instead of alcohol (lol)

Do you think that COFFEE is ADULTY BEVERAGE, don't you？

TIME AFTER TIME

2009-04-01T02:24:00.005+09:00

I like the phrase "time after time".

Maybe you have heard a song "Time After Time" written by Cindi Lauper.
I always shed tears when I listen the song.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting
Time after time

I have a suitcase of memories, too.

I saw a woman where my accostomed cafe.
Maybe she was a dancer when she's young.
She put a lot of her pic on the table.
And she was lost in thought while she looked the pic.
She looked so sad.

I don't want to be like the woman.

I always want to walk so fast.
Like a woman was described the song "Time after Time".

UME

2009-03-19T15:29:00.005+09:00

They're UME (=plum) blossoms.
I'd prefer UME than SAKURA (=cherry blossoms).

I went to a park that was planted many many plum trees.
That's sooooo beautiful.

But I have a heavy hay feaver (=pollinosis) .
It's hard for me going out in this season.

I'd loved Spring.
But I dislike Spring, now…(T T)

Märchen Rock's Atelier

2009-03-14T00:01:00.003+09:00

I started to exibit of my paint on MYSPACE.

Now, I'm prepairing…

2009-03-13T02:04:00.000+09:00

Do you read my main-blog "ZATSUON-SEIKATSU"?

Now, I'm preparing a certain matter.
It's a challenge & my own project to step next stage.

I'll announce to you 'bout it when I finish the preparation.

A moment, please.

She sat on a quail's egg.

2009-03-12T21:36:00.001+09:00

My business partner "A" has a daughter.
She is 4 years old.

One day, "A" came home after his job at night.
He took a delivery-service of KAMAMESHI and ate it.
KAMAMESHI is a japanese traditional food, it's really similar with spanish paella.
Suddenly, she picked up a quail's egg from the pod to her room.

He wondered,
What are you going to do by an egg??
So he followed her silently.

She tried to hatch out the egg by handmade incubator.
She put the egg on the incubator.
How pretty was she!

But it was a wind egg.
It will not hatch out.

She has checked it everyday since that day.

"A" suggested to his wife,
"We should buy a bird for our daughter, shouldn't we?"

Next night, he bought a parakeet, and set it in the incubator with broken and empty eggshell.

For the reason that his family started to keep a parakeet last year.

A CUP OF TEA

2009-03-09T03:09:00.000+09:00

"What is your a cup of tea?"

This sentence equals below,

"What is your type for the ○○?"

The doubtful phrase was made in U.K.

You knew that English are in a habit of tasting lot of tea in a day.

For example, EARLY MORNING TEA, BREAKFAST TEA, ELEVENS, AFTERNOON TEA and NIGHT CAP, etc.

So, everyone has their own unique that favorite brands or a way of tasting of tea.

So many man, so many mind.

In Japan, there are many gentle, peaceful, tenderly men.

But they're not a cup of tea to me.

I'd prefer A WILD PERSON than A WELL-BEHAVED PERSON.

BLACKBERRY

2009-03-03T21:19:00.004+09:00

Do you have BLACKBERRY (=Smartphone)?

They're not spread in Japan, yet.

Many of Japanese are conservative people.

So that they'd prefer be used goods than new arrivals.

You knew that i-phone isn't spread in Japan, too.

I think BLACKBERRY is more useful than cell-phone.

'Cuz there are many buttons like a keyboard.

I wanna BLACKBERRY sometime.

I love cafe.

2009-02-19T20:26:00.002+09:00

I sometimes go to some cafes my neighborhood.

I'd rather a deserted cafe than a crowded one.
And I'd rather a quiet cafe than a noisy one.
'Cos the quiet and deserted cafe like a hiding place for me.

I like to go to cafe alone.
Maybe, I'd like to relish my solitary life.

It don't matter if you're Black or White

2009-02-16T10:25:00.013+09:00

Last week, a gossip magazine of the SUN published an article 'bout Michael Jackson.

The SUN is well-known for his fans 'bout many published articles were not reliable.

I like his music.

I've not been crazy 'bout him, but I've enjoyed listening to his works since I was a child.

I prefer to his early works.

I've not listened his musics recently.

Still, the fact remains that I like his music, whatever I don't listened them now.

I've watched some his interviews that were broadcasted as TV programs.

I felt that he is pureness and cuteness just like a kid.

A one of question of reporter asked him,

"I'm sure that you have nothing impossible dreams, now.

But, if you could have only a wish come true,what will you wish for?

Where do you wanna go?"

Michael said with smile like a kid,

"I wanna go SUPERMARKETS!"

'Cus he have never been there.

After that day, his tiny dream came true.

Staffs of the TV program invited him to a chartered supermarket.

And the staffs asked a duty for his friends and staffs to perform like customers in the supermarket.

'Cuz, it's so unnatural situation that there're no customers in there.

That's a charming surprise, isn't it?

Of course, Michael noticed that all customers were his friends during shopping.

But he had a very pleasant time that I think.

I got many tiny surprises from my staffs, musicians, and fans.

Many people brought me a lot of happiness as like him.

I wish Michael have peaceful time, more and more.

Favorite Flower

2009-02-08T02:44:00.001+09:00

What do you like flowers?
I like Persian Buttercup the best.

In Japan, the flowers are called Rununculus.

Persian Buttercup is more beautiful and cute than Rose, I think.

So that, I've used to select the flower when I brought flowers to my dear friends.

I like Camellia, too.

Camellia is Japanese flower.
There are many beautiful spot with blooming Camellia in Japan.
For example, many shrines of Kyoto, and Kamakura, etc.

In Kyoto, there is a shrine that has been called "Camellia shrine".
The formal name of the shrine is "REIKANJI".

"REIKANJI" isn't opened for sightseers in general.
It's been opened twice a year (April and November) for long time.
And the free-admittance term is a week by a week, moreover.

We can enjoy viewing many Camellia at REIKANJI in April.
And we can enjoy viewing many red leaves of maples in November.

I want to visit the shrine sometime.

Of course, in April.

JAPANESE PAPER

2009-01-28T02:30:00.006+09:00

Can you guess about the pic?

They're matchboxes.

I got them by my friend who traveled to Kyoto.

And She talked to me that the matchboxes were put in a long-established-cafe (in kyoto) for take free.

The matchboxes are sticked a variety of Japanese Papers.

They're nice, aren't they?

Kyoto had been a capital city until about 16th century.

So that, Kyoto has many historical places, buildings and structures.

You knew that the Japanese capital city is Tokyo, now.

"Tokyo（東京）" means " East-Capital-City".

'Cuz the former Japanese capital city in the West.

The Last day

2009-01-22T06:14:00.002+09:00

My friend came home today's evening.

I went to her house afternoon.

And I carried out all of cat sitter's work.

I hit upon that I give some surprises for my friend yesterday.

The surprises are………

(1) I cook some meal for her dinner.

So I cooked MISO-SOUP for her (in her kitchen).

'Cuz I thought that she don't want to cook anything this evening.

Maybe she will be very tired after the trip.

And maybe her stomach have been tired during the trip.

MISO-SOUP is home cooking that is very healthy and hearty.

(2) I made her a present of something for relaxation.

I bought her a bath-salt that the fragrance of cherry blossoms.

The fragrance is very good.

I think the cat is filled of peaceful time with my friend at this time.

I'm happy for the cat.

The second day

2009-01-21T01:50:00.002+09:00

I think that we (me and the cat) are being good friends lil by lil.

She did never mew yesterday, except for growling.

Today, she mewed so much.

Besides she followed me sometimes.

Maybe she's tamed at me gradually.

But I felt of her mewing that below,

" Where's my Mom? What's she doing? Do you know when she'll come back?"

If she could understand languages, I could answer the questions.

She was looked so lonely.

Your Mom will be back soon.

Hold on just a lil bit longer.

CAT TOYS

2009-01-20T12:08:00.000+09:00

These're cat toys.

Japanese have called them "NEKO-JARASHI" (the translated name is "playing tools with cat" or "frolicsome tools with cat").

There is a verb "JARERU" in Japan.

JARERU means play, frolic and flirt.

"JARASU" is a conjugated verb of "JARERU".

JARERU is an intransitive verb.

JARASU is a transitive verb.

And, "JARASHI" is a noun.

Do you think that these toys are very similar to an ear of rice or green bristle grass, don't you?

The first day

2009-01-19T15:54:00.005+09:00

I could pursued a first mission.

First, I wiped the cat's nose.

'Cuz the cat has a nasal inflammation.

She (the cat is female) was running nose when I went her house.

Next, I replaced some stale-drinking-water to fresh water.

And I added some dried cat food in her plate.

And then, I played with her using a cat toy what is similar to green bristle grass. (green foxtail)

She was looked a lil bit bad mood………

But I did my best.

To be continued……

Have a nice trip!

2009-01-17T16:09:00.005+09:00

One of my friend's going to travel to Kyoto from day after tomorrow.

She has kept a cat for about 7 years.

And she has always left the cat in the charge at HOTELS FOR COMPANION ANIMALS when she could not at a home for many days. In Japan some vets have facility of a kind of HOTELS FOR COMPANION ANIMALS.

But she asked me to be a cat sitter.

I wonder how can I be a good friend of her cat.

I've always been punched, scratched, and threatened by her cat……………………(T_T)

MONO-MORAI

2009-01-09T14:57:00.002+09:00

STYE (or STY) is a one of eye disease.

When I looked up "STYE" and "STY" in a dictionary, I noticed that the word has an another meaning.

STY means a pigsty and a dirty house.

And then, I've wondered that "STYE" is a coined word (STY＋ EYE）or not.

STYE's Japanese word is MONO-MORAI.

"MORAI" equals "be given something"

"MONO" usually equals "thing".

But, MONO-MORAI's "MONO" isn't epual to "thing".

Japanese people think that the dirty-thing and the scary-thing must not be named concretely.

For example,

a rash=DEKI-MONO (word-for word translations:be born something/get bad-things),

begging=MONO-GOI (:Beggars want to something from somebody).

Japanese have thought that they are taboo words for a long long time.
Taboo words are often called "MONO".

Perhaps, maybe you knew the Japanese animation movie『Princess MONONOKE』.
"MONONOKE" means ghosts and apparitions.

MONO-MORAI's "MONO" means this.
'Cos, it had been considered that it's contagious and spread by a person (or place) who has the cause of the disease.

Even if "STYE" is "STY" prus "EYE",
these words (STYE and MONO-MORAI) are very similar to each other.
'Cos MONO-MORAI has an another meaning ,too. (like a STY)

New Year's meal

2009-01-04T15:36:00.001+09:00

Thanks for your leaving comments!

I'm brimming with joy !

I read all of you.

By the way,

Japanese are in the habit of eating buckwheat noodles on New Year's Eve.

I also ate them at the day.

The noodles are called "buckwheat noodles traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve (TOSHI-KOSHI-SOBA)."

I've heard that the original name is "Get older buckwheat noodles (TOSHI-TORI-SOBA)."

You knew that buckwheat noodle's shape is long and thin.

So that Japanese have eaten them for make wishes about own longevity.

Are there habits of eating something as New Year's Meal in your country?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2009-01-01T00:03:00.002+09:00

Happy New Year!

Freezing cold!!

2008-12-27T18:33:00.005+09:00

It was freezing cold yesterday.

Yesterday is the last workday of this year.

I went to the roof of a building.

It was tooooooooooooo cold.

What do you think about the work?

It's a gas!

It'll be fun for you.

Wait and see.

Mourn over an woman's death…

2008-12-25T22:17:00.003+09:00

Last night, I heard about the news of Ms.Ai Iijima's death from a friend.

Of course, I've never met her.

Only I've heard about her personality from a few staff.

I like her.

'Cos I wished that she could be happy.

What a sad news is this……

What a sad Christmas Eve……

Finished!

2008-12-20T15:03:00.007+09:00

Actually I started editing-operation about recorded dates (sound) of my GIGS at 20th Nov.

And we'll go to the next.

HOT GINGER ALE

2008-12-04T03:59:00.007+09:00

I got JINGER ALE BASE as a present from a friend before my last GIG.

So that, I'd drunk it with some hot water everyday until the GIG.

She taught me how to make it after that day.

At first, some chopped ginger are permeated into some honey. And you have to leave it for an hour.

The next, some squeezed lemon juice into the honey ginger.

You can drink it with some water or hot water.

Please try it!

It's sooooooo delicious!

If you drink it, you'll be less likely to catch a cold, maybe.

RINDEN HONEY

2008-11-22T04:47:00.012+09:00

Do you know RINDEN HONEY?

The translated name is BODAIJYU HACHI-MITSU.

I knew that about 6 yeas ago.

There was a HONEY SHOP in my ex-neighborhood. And I saw the HONEY when I went to the shop at the first.

Day after tomorrow, me and playboys and my staffs will hold my last GIG.

And the after（maybe next month),we will hold a farewell party and a year-end-party at the same time.

I want to give something to my all staffs for our memorial at the party.

Do you think that RINDEN HONEY is suitable for the presents, don't you?

But, there is a point at issue…….

Actually,I don't like RINDEN HONEY so much…….

The taste is peculiar to me.

Ummmm….

I wonder…….

Mastering.

2008-11-14T18:17:00.009+09:00

I made THE MASTER of my mini-album at a mastering studio yesterday.

I contained 8 songs in the album.

These songs were reminded me a lot of memories.

My heart was filled with them.

For example…,I remembered that I write one of them by a MELODICA（PIANICA).

And I hit upon the melody of an another one in a cab. lol

I thought below in my heart when I composed it in a cab,

"Mr. cab driver… I'm sorry but…please never talk to me now. Please be quiet for me. Shut up, please!!!" lol

There are several memories about all my songs.

'Cos I feel about them that they are like my children.

Maybe I've kept my eyes on them for 8 years, just like a mother never learn to let go from my grown-up children.

Have a nice trip, my dear.

I wish you have happy days.

Imperial Palaces of the Ming and Qing

2008-11-08T11:32:00.000+09:00

I've wanted to visit the Forbidden City since I was a child.

But I've attained my purpose yet.

I've thought that I had lived there in my former life. lol

(Though I'm not a type of pious person…)

'Cos I always feel a strange sensation when i looked some pic of the Forbidden City.

It's just like a DEJAVU.

Which do you think that there was your previous life or not?

By the way,

Do you know that there was a coffee shop of STARBUCKS in the Forbidden City?

It pulled out of there, because of a lot reproof and citizens movements in 2007.

That's suck…….

It's a profanity to the Forbidden City and the World Heritage, isn't it?

Why don't we make a distinction of places CONVENIENT or TRADITIONAL?

I think it's a nonsense to confuse about them.

SPICE-HOLIC

2008-11-02T00:45:00.001+09:00

I love hot & spicy foods.

I mean…maybe I'm a spice-holic.

'Cos I can't resist to eat them.

I ate white wheat noodle with JJIGAE (＝very very hot food）at lunch yesterday,

I ate rice noodle with Tom Yam Kung at lunch today,

And now, I'm eating spicy chips seasoned HABANERO CHILI.

I have an experience that I used up a bottle of Tabasco (350ml) in a month, and I reflected on my eating habits.

Since that day, I've abstained to eat some spicy foods as stand as possible I could.

Do you like spicy food?

Tell me your favor.

Interrupting

2008-10-26T02:47:00.000+09:00

There're many interrupted expressions the meaning as same as "Excuse me".

Perhaps, maybe you knew this phrase "Sorry, but…".

I hope I could introduce some expressions to you that they more polite than above.

At first,

"I beg your pardon/time?"

You knew the sentence 'cos I used this one in my music lyrics.

To put it differently an another sentence like below,

"Pardon me"

This phrase is used to call to somebody when the people are doing something.

And , "Pardon me" is more polite than "Excuse me".

And then, their sentences very polite ways how to call somebody whom are busy at the time.

"Can I interrupt for a moment?"

"May I interrupt for a moment?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you."

But……you are allowed only to say "Hi!" ……in some cases.

Maybe…….

Let bygones be bygones.

2008-10-22T16:51:00.000+09:00

I'm a optimistic person.

All of memories were not happy.

All of experiences were not fine.

Maybe I've been seen just a happy person,

I came so far, worrying and wavering, in fact.

I've loved this maxim.

"It's not your position that makes you happy or unhappy. It's only your disposition."

I owe the maxim that I could think that "Let bygones be bygones." anytime.

I believe that a laughter brings good luck.

Do you think so, don't you?

Everyone can make art.

2008-10-21T01:11:00.004+09:00

"Everyone can make art."

How do you think about this opinion?

I think it's right, absolutely.

'Cos I've considered that every-original-handmade-things are arts.

So that I can say

"Every letters, dishes, cloths, e-mails ,and etc. are arts."

And I think that every-arts are not high in social status, too.

Whether there are many High Society arts or not in the world is no matter to almost people to live.

……That's what I think.

And I love art works.

I've mistaken this phrase sometimes.

2008-10-18T01:31:00.003+09:00

I've mistaken the phrase how to say "It is difficult for me." like below…

"I'm hard to VERB."

So that I've always asked by my friend at the time.

"Oh…Are you a ROCK or a STONE?"

No………………(- -;)

It's hard to use this phrase for me correctly.

I received his…

2008-10-14T02:11:00.011+09:00

I went to a stall of Yuzo Otsuka Project last evening.

When I arrived at the place, I called by a shop-staff.（The shop-staff is ex-assistant of Mr.Otsuka. He belongs in the team of Yuzo Otsuka Project now, and he works there yesterday.）

He said with a finger pointed at a colorful cloths.

"I found them in his warehouse a few days ago…"

They're a pair of green spotted spats…

Well…they're parts of costume that …I dressed on Mr.J.J. when I was taken my music video of『IDEA』.

You knew that they're too embarrassing spats, if you have checked the music video before.

'Cos we aimed to show the fashion of the 80's at that time.

Dear.Mr.J.J.

I'm keeping your special costume in my closet.

Please call me, when you have to or want to wear it someday♡

Sense of languages

2008-10-10T01:34:00.016+09:00

You knew that ex-Prime Minister（Mr.Fukuda）said,

"ANATA-TO-WA CHIGAUN-DESU."

at a speech of his resignation.

Can you translate the speech in English, correctly?

Many ASIAN people are easy to mistake to translate that speech in English, like below…

"I'm different from you."

It's not a mistake completely.

But it's not enough to express about his feeling.

'Cos I thought that he thought like below at his heart at that time.

"KIMI-TO ISSYO-NI SHINAI-DE KUDASARU?."

"A is different from B."

This is a natural thought of the people are using English for them mother tongue .

For example…people say this sentence to cheer up for somebody like below,

"You and I are not so different"

So that, the sentence（A is different from B）doesn't include about the meaning of distinction.

People say it in English like this,

"I'm not like you."

It's not used for only bad meaning.

'Cos people say it to humble themselves.

Do you think that is similar point either of Japanese and English, don't you?

Are you picky?

2008-10-07T02:10:00.000+09:00

Are you picky about food?

I think I'm not picky about it.

But…I don't like to eat any boiled and fried fruits…except for bananas.

For example,

I can't eat any apple pie, pineapples on hamburg steaks, orange sauce, waldof salad, or etc.

So that I dislike any jam, actually.

They are not comfortable to me.

But I love fruits.

And…

I like to eat a crab in a restaurant.

But I dislike to cook it in my kitchen.

'Cos the crab shell looks like a big insect's one to me…

（But shrimp and lobster are OK.)

Do you think so, don't you?

Can you agree with me?
