The Ting Tings!!!
This time, I will show you one of my favourite band’s video “Shut up and let me go” from the Ting Tings.
They are from the United Kingdom and also they are quite poplar in UK.
In Japan, Perhaps, you can hear their song on TV commercial. Their song, which named “Great DJ” is used by beer advertisement on TV.
In this video, they used kanfoo because they are influenced by China. The vocal girl was used to work at department store and her co-worker’s name was Ting Tings. She liked her name so they named themselves “Ting Tings”
On August, summer sonic ’08 was held in Osaka and Makuhari so they came to Japan and they performed some songs. Also, on September, this song was top 4 in UK hit chart. It’s really cute song. I like their fashion because it is cute and kind of original.
It was hard for me to catch words from this song but I like sounds and video!! The most favourite lyrics from this song are” I ain’t freakin’ I ain’t fakin’ this, I ain’t freakin’ I ain’t fakin’ this. Shut up and let me go. Hey!”
I hope you will like it!!

FILM UNIT
For me, it was difficult to make film because editing film is difficult and takes a lot of time. In spite of we spend more than 6 hours to make and edit our original film, we made 6 minutes film. I was surprised and I thought that to make 120 minutes film like Hollywood, it can’t be helped to take more than 6 months. However, I really liked making film. We made a script, story and we acted our own part. It was so fun!! Our team work was very good. However, we should have tried to speak English. I know it is difficult to talk about film and computer things in English. That’s why we studied about film. So I wanted to speak English more even it was difficult.
I really enjoyed each team's film!! It was so fun!! Each film has different colour. I liked Genzo's action and Part!!! He was absolutely a girl... Gay? He was cute!! I was surprised the film which was edited by Hiroshi. they had a lot of amazing effects.
Also, I could notice that I need to practice ‘shadowing’ practice because it was too difficult for me to speak like ‘Kiki’ and ‘Tombo’. It was too fast for me and I could find that how my speaking speed was slow.
I decided to speak more English in Music unit!
I’m sorry for we had spoken a lot of Japanese in Class.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
It set in Liverpool and New York in 1960’s and it is a musical and love story. There are lots of good points in this film.
This film shows us American society in 60’s, what the counter culture is and young people’s feeling.
Jude was born in Liverpool and he lives in small house with his mother. He worked at dockyard. One day, he quit his job and decided to go America to look for his father. He met a lot of people who is in different situation and they came to live together. He experienced lots of things in America.
This film was directed by Julie Taymor who is a woman. Also it has good actor. Jim sturgess plays Jude who is a main character of this story. He is good at sing a song.
Songs that used in this film are all Beatles!!! The story begins with this song “Girl”. Do you know this song? If you don’t know and you want to listen to it, please let me know. It has 33 songs from Beatles. If you watch this movie you can listen to a lot of good songs from Beatles.
Through watching this film, you will notice that some people speak British English and some are speak American English.
I’ve never watched such a great film, so please watch it!!!!

Mike Huckabee's lecture
It was little difficult for me because I don’t know political things.
Maybe he said a lot of political things…
If I had more vocabulary, I could understand more so it makes me feel I want to study English more and more.
He said, when he was child, the Beatles visited U.S. and he came to be interested in music and guitar. Even his family was not so rich, so it was hard for his parents to give him a guitar, on Christmas, his parents gave him a guitar and they paid little by little.
I was surprised, because in Japan, politicians are so rich since they were born. It said elite caste… or something like that, so I couldn’t believe he was poor.
Maybe he also said education has to be developing someone’s talent… maybe…
I think it is important thing. Everyone has their own talent. If their talent lost by education, what is left after that? I agree with him.
And I was interested in how students ask him questions. Every Japanese student ask him question like just ask, but Sam from U.S. talked with him like discussion. It was interesting. I thought there are differences between Japanese student and American student especially self-assertion…??
Anyway, it was interesting and if I have opportunity like that later, I really want to join and I want to get more vocabulary!!!!!!!!
