When A Boy Meets A Girl... My Favorite CM

Do you remember when you were kid?

This is TOKYO ELECTRON' TV commercial. A small story but so heartwarming. Two adorable kids, a boy who lives in Miyagi, and a girl from a city, they meet in a classroom, at school in Miyagi.
The girl have just moved from a city because her father has transferred to a new factory in this small town.

The girl is so cute, isn't she? Because this situation is so common when we were kids, I guess you might remember someone.

Fly to England-7 (Lovely Show Windows)

What I have regretted is not going to sweets shop and also toy shop in England. I just passed these shops while I was so interested in what I saw in their pretty show windows.

It was November, expecting Christmas. People started to decorate whole town for Christmas.
It was so lovely, and colourful sweets in showcases tempted me to enter the store.

Passions to Make A Room Lovely: malto@Koenji

Only 9 minutes from huge Shinjuku station by JR Train, that's Koenji.
Koenji is known for secondhand or vintage clothes stores, especially alongside of "Look Shopping Street". It is a small street but make me so excited, since I can find European vintage clothes, used books, kimono, hat stores and cozy small cafes and much more.

And here it is, "malto" which offers you lovely interior goods and antique.

Skating: Winter Treat

Tokyo doesn't have Central Park nor Rockefeller Center.
But Tokyo still has Akasaka Sacas and Roppongi Midtown.
Do you know what I mean?

Yes, Ice Skating Rink! Wow!

Skating in freshly cold outside air.. with your friend(if you want)...
under the night sky.. watching millions of stars(if you want!)...
Isn't it amazing?

A Snowed Town

Always be impressed and excited to see it like kids, that's snow for me.
Because we usually don't have much snow in winter. Mostly sunny and dry in Tokyo.

TAIMEIKEN: Nostalgic Dinner Time

TAIMEIKEN is one of well-known "Yosyoku（洋食）" restaurants in Tokyo.
But what is "Yosyoku", then?

If I try to explain it, Yosyoku is a kind of western-oriented dishes such as "omelette rice"(omelette wrapped rice), "curry rice", "hayashi rice"(hashed beef with rice), "pork cutlets", "hamburger(steak)", "gratin" and so on.

A Winter Day in the Park

Welcome to a new year, 2013!
New year holidays were over, I started to work on last friday.
It seemed like a rehabilitation for back to daily life, because after only a day work, I had work-free-weekend.

Well, I feel  really cold this winter in Tokyo. The outside temperature is around 6℃ now.
