The other classes

I take a class that Japanese Literature Reading class. Japanese Literature Reading class is a similar to Japanese class that we studied in high school. We read Japanese Literature work what was wrote in modern times. Japanese modern times include the Meiji Restoration to the War in the Pacific. Recently we read "Juu-san-ya" that was wrote by Ichiyou Higuchi. It is very difficult for us to read because it is a little different word comparing with to nowadays we use. Also it is a little different that Chinese character, so we read them so hard. I think it is difficult to read them without teacher's explanation.

BR 1-07: The Snow Queen

""She's a wicked woman. But don't worry," she added. "If your heart is pure, you'll always see the queen for who she is."" (p.7)

There was once a wicked demon who made a magic mirror. The mirror made everything good look twisted and ugly. Anything bad looked even worse. One day, the mirror was crashed to the ground and broke into a million tiny pieces. Some of them spread where the world human lives.  If the mirror's tiny pieces flew into someone's eye, everything looked horrible and wrong. And if struck a person's heart, that heart began to freeze.

There two people, girl and boy, Gerda and Kay. They lived next door and they were so close. They had been very good friends.
One day, They watered the roses in Gerda's window box, Kay suddenly cried out. Demon's magic mirror's tiny piece flew into Kay's eyes and struck into his heart. After the day, Kay changed. He was to be a bad boy.

In the winter, Kay played sled. Then, Kay found a woman who rode a white sleigh.  The woman was a Snow Queen but he did not notice about that. Then, Kay was got away by the snow queen.
People who knew Kay, they said he died. But Gerda did not believe it. Then, she decided to look for him. And she met a lot of people in the adventure.



I didn't understand that the Snow Queen's purpose. Why did she take away Kay? Mmm...
I think Gerda is a happy girl because she was helped a lot of people. Her heart is pure, so many people cooperated for her. ...My heart is not pure, I could not do this, maybe.:)

The most scene I felt impressive, Gerda met a little robber girl.
She wants to many friends, and she catch a lot of animals in prison. But after the little robber girl met Gerda, she liberated all the animals she had caught for a long time. Animals ran away. She cried after that, but many animals returned and remained.

Sound Horizon 7th Story Concert ≪Marchen≫

I watched a same movie on 6th and 12th May. The movie is "Sound Horizon 7th Story Concert ≪Marchen≫."

First, I will explain an artist, "Sound Horizon."

"Sound Horizon" is organized by Mr.Revo. He is a lyricist,composer, and singer. His songs are very peculiar. He makes a story in his songs, and they constitute a big one story in one album. Then, the CDs is called "Story CD" among their fan. However I think it is a story rather than world. His songs are a story, but it is very very ambiguous. Hoewver it is one of the attraction for us because we can various interpret the detail story, or setting.Therefore, his songs are so peculiar, and some people love this. However others hate. It is preference varies on his songs.

Sound Horizon started activity as a coterie music circle in 2001. And in 2004, they accomplish major debut.

Soun Horizon has not regurlar member except Mr.Revo. Mr.Revo assemble people to the songs. Then, for example, over 25 people take part in ≪Marchen≫ CD.

I have a lot of things to write about them, but it is so difficult for me to explain!! Then I bring explain to an end...

This is the ≪Marchen≫ movie's pamphlet

and this is a prezent from Mr.Revo for us, fans!!

STICKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very very very stir when got from a stuff of thater!! Thank you very much Mr.Revo!! I love you!!!!!

Briefly I explain about this movie, this is a concert movie edit for theater, 3D. Movie of concert connects some different performance that same content story. Then sometimes odd. For example, A girl's two braids are different every scene. I could not consent the scene about that!!:)

Those are songs titles performed in the concert movie.

01.Hikari to yami no douwa (Fairy tale of Light and Darkness)

02.Kono semai torikago no nakade (Inside of the Confined Bird Cage)

03.Kanojo ga majo ni natta riyuu (The Reason why She Became A Witch)

04.Yoiyami no uta (The Dusk Song)

05.Kakei no majo (A Staked Witch)

06.Kuroki okami no yado (A Inn of Black Landlady)

07.Garasu no hitsugi de nemuru himegimi (A Princess Sleeping in Glass Coffin)

08.Sei to shi wo wakatsu kyoukai no huruido (An Old Well of Border Devides "Arive" Or "Dead")

09.Bara no tou de nemuru himegimi (A Princess Sleeping at A Rose Tower)

10.Aoki Hakushaku no siro (A Castle of A Blue Count)

11.Takkei no seijo (A Saint Woman Died on the Cross)

12.Gyoukou no uta (The Light of Dawn Song)

This time, some of the songs of Marchen are motif "the Grimm Brother's fairy tails."

"Kakei no majo" models "Hansel and Gretel." "Garasu no hitsugi de nemuru himegimi" models "Snow White and Seven Dwalfs." "Sei to shi wo wakatsu kyoukai no huruido" models "Frau Holle." "Bara no tou de nemuru himegimi " models "Sleeping Beauty."

...Do you notice? Why did I choice and do a book review of "Snow White and Seven Dwalfs." YES!!! This is the reason!!!!!!!

Then, I would like to tell you about interesting things of the songs title.

Those are a notation of the songs titles in Japanese characters, 5 to 12.

宵闇の唄

火刑の魔女

黒き女将の宿

硝子の棺で眠る姫君

生と死を別つ境界の古井戸

薔薇の塔で眠る姫君

青き伯爵の城

磔刑の聖女

暁光の唄

and, more little change. Let's turns them to vertical writing.

生

子別薇

のつの

黒棺境塔青

火きで界でき磔

宵刑女眠の眠伯刑暁

Then I want to show you this.

What is the most impression thing for me, the singer's talents of singing.

The songs are a very high!! However they accomplish in the concerts.

The Japanese Heidi's animation affect me that Heidi and others characters' images: Heidi has a black hair and looks is close to Asian girl.
The book is little need time for me to read. However not difficult. I enjoyed to read this.
