Japanese band-Gesu-no Kiwami Otome-

Hi everyone! Today's post is a music review. Recently, I bought some CDs of Gesu-no Kiwami Otome, a Japanese band. They got second place ranking of the most popular musicians for university student, so I was interested in them. They formed in 2012 and they  debuted this year from Warner Music Record company. They've released one single CD and 4 albums. If you want to know more about them, please check the their official website. Yesterday, they released their latest CD album, but  I didn't buy it. I bought a single CD "Ryoukitekina Kiss-wo Watashi-ni Shite (With a  bizarre kiss as me)" and 3 albums "Dress-no Nugikata (How to remove the dress)", "Minna Normal (Everyone is normal)" and ""Odorenainara Gesu-ni Nattesimaeyo (Be a low fellow, if  you can't dance )". I think, each title is unique. 

Their music genre is progressive rock and hip hop. These songs are cool and have unique sounds! Especially, the bass guitar sound is really cool! I didn't know them until I bought their CDs, but now I like them. Actually, I play the guitar, so I want to cover these songs someday. If you've never listened to their songs, please check YouTube where some of their songs are uploaded.

If you watch this music video and you like them, you should buy it at a CD shop! All CDs are not expensive. These price is about 1500 yen and the new album CD is 2200 yen.  

A convenience store's sweets -Pumpkin taste sweets-

Hi everyone! Autumn has come and the temperature is getting colder day by day. Today's date is October 15th, so in 2 weeks, Halloween will come!! In Japanese convenience stores, there are sales of many kinds of new sweets that use autumn flavors like sweet potato, chestnut and pumpkin. Especially, pumpkin flavored sweets are the most popular in convenience stores. I think the reason is that Japanese people think pumpkin is representative of autumn.

 

Today, I bought a pumpkin cake at Seven Eleven. The price is 250 yen. Look at package of cake. You'll notice a Halloween design: a  ghost, bat and Jack-o-lantern. This is a sponge cake with pumpkin cream. The taste is a nice pumpkin taste and the texture is very fluffy! I like this cake! An amount is enough for me and the price is not expensive, so I want to buy it again. How about trying it if you find it at Seven Eleven? 

I also bought another item, Kinoko-no Yama-Creamy Pumpkin Taste-. This is a time-limited new flavor of the Kinoko-no Yama series. Do you know the Kinoko-no Yama series? This is a very popular confection sold by the Meiji company. This series has another confection series, Takenoko-no Sato. There are made from chocolate and biscuit. Kinoko-no Yama is shaped like a mushroom and Takenoko-no Sato shaped like takenoko (takenoko means bamboo shoot.). The price is 307 yen. The flavor of this is also good pumpkin taste, so I like it, but the amount is a little bit much for one person. I suggest you eat it with someone.

Movie review! -Mindscape-

Hello everyone! Today's post is a movie review. I like to watch movies, so I often go to the cinema. Recently, I watched a new movie, "Mindscape (Another title is"Anna" but the Japanese title is neither of these.)". This movie was made by U.S and Spanish filmmakers and directed by Spanish directer Jorge Dorado. This movie released it on this year in Spain and U.S. Japan also released in September 27th. The movie's genre is psychological thriller. It stars Taissa Farmiga and Mark Strong who act the main character roles. 

Summary of the story
Anna and John are the main characters in this movie. Anna is a 16-year old girl who goes without food. John is an investigator who has the supernatural ability to enter other people's memories. 

One day, John contracted a new job to investigate the cause of Anna's fasting and to feed her something by using his ability. It was not difficult job for him. However, while he investigated her memories he found out Anna may has been involved in a big case. From there, the story is develops rapidly. That's all I can give you for now about the summary. If you care about the continuation of that story, please watch the movie at the cinema.

Here are the movie's trailers. The top trailer is an English trailer. The bottoms trailer is in Japanese. I prefer the Japanese trailer, because video editing is better than the other one I became interested in this movie when I watched the trailer.

Finally, I'll tell you my impression after I watched this movie. Actually, I was excited about the story, but I was really disappointed by the climax, so it was very unfortunate. I think if the climax was differently. this movie might be very nice story. However, this is just my impression, and other people might like it. If you are interested in this movie, please watch it and tell me if you feel disappointed or if you were satisfied.
