thanksgiving

MyHotComments.com
today is "thanksgiving day". in japan, people enjoy many kinds of foreign holiday events in the past years, like halloween etc. but seems thanksgiving isn't popular yet in here.

btw, it's getting colder every day. we have a chance of snow this winter?

waltz for debby

"lyrics in swedish"

Enkel, vacker, öm
Är min valsmelodi
En valsfantasi
En sång i en dröm
Sakta morgonljus
Strömmar över vårt fönster
Ritar ett mönster
På alla hus
Just den dag
Den vackra dag jag lärde mig säga vi
Kom den till världen min valsmelodi
Enkel, vacker, öm
Och den påminner mig
Om hundratals dagarsom jag varit med dig
Både vinter och vår
Och i höst och igår
Våra dagar är bara för korta
Plötsligen ringer min klocka
Upp med dig klockan är åtta
Väldigt väldigt stark
Kommer solen med dagen
Den vacka staden badar i ljus
Väldigt väldigt starkt
Har du visat mig världen
För mig så är den
Vacker och ljus
På oss två väntar miljoner dagar
Och här är vi
Och värdlen sjunger min valsmelodi
Enkel, vacker, öm
Valsen påminner mig
om hundratals dagar som jag varit med dig
Både vinter och vår
Och i höst och i går
Och alla dagar som kommer
Nu är det sommar i tusen år

norrskenet

Look upon the dark sky and wait patiently until the lights comes.
Have you seen Northern lights ever? It's really amazing, you know. Some of my friends living in the northern europe. I guess they might see the beautiful lights right now! Ah, I'd really love to visit there again!
*thanks þórey*

ハチ公物語

1987年8月公開


昭和初期、東京の大学教授上野(仲代達矢)の元にやってきた秋田犬の子犬。ハチと名づけられ、いつしか毎日渋谷駅までの送り迎えが日課となる。ある日上野は授業中に倒れ帰らぬ人となる。しかしハチは上野の帰りを待ち続ける…。



先生とハチの絆。先生はハチをとてもかわいがり、ハチはとても先生を慕っていた。この映画のすべてのシーンがすばらしい。来たばかりの秋田犬に"ハチ"と名づけるシーン、先生がハチのノミを取ってあげるシーン、お散歩のシーン、渋谷駅への送り迎え、先生のお葬式、その後も先生の帰りを待ち続けるハチ・・・最後、幻の中での先生との再会…もうこのシーンに行き着く頃には号泣号泣号泣です。犬好きでもそうでなくても、ハチ公を知っていても知らなくても、きっとこの物語はすべての人に感動を与えるだろう。忠犬ハチ公。ハチは最後まで忠犬でした。








*現在の銅像は戦後に作られた二代目で、初代の像は戦時中に供出されて武器へと変わってしまったということです。
