I Love Sports
I love ball games. I especially like baseball, basketball and
tennis. Sports are good for our health and in addition, they are both enjoyable and exciting. We can kill two birds with one
stones by playing them. Today, I would like to talk about my favorite sport,
baseball.
I have played baseball for twelve years. I was close friends with
the local kids so we used to play sandlot baseball behind the bank near my place. It
was really enjoyable for me to meet my friends every Sunday.
I also played for a team. My team name was Nakagawake . This name
comes from name of my junior high school Nakagawa and the famous Japanese performer Nakagawake. It was at this time that I started to respect the baseball player Ichiro Suzuki.
Have you heard of Ichiro Suzuki? Now he is a great player known
to all over the world because he broke George's single－season single hit record in 1928.
His style of play is so cool and exciting.
Hopefully, baseball will always be a part of my life. Nowadays, I play basketball with the same friends every Monday. It is very hard game, so I'm tired next
day. However, I love the game and feel like I'm leading a full life now so I really enjoy it.

FOOD
My favorite foods include pasta, a bowl of rice topped with cooked beef and vegetables, natto. I love pasta. Especially I love spaghetti with meat sause so much that
my mother made me. I usually eat two times as many meals as an average people do. I often some exercise for one hours three
times a week, so I watch my waistline anytime. I also love a bowl of riced with cooked beef and vegetables. I usually eat
it in MATSUYA. That house's advantage is cheap, fast, delicious. I could eat it everyday of my life until I died, but it is
so high calories that I seldom eat it. I also love natto. I eat it every morning. It is a unique food to Japan people recommend
it but most foreign people say " No thank you ".But it is nice and very healthy. I wish all over the people eat natto.
Here I might add an entry whenever I make an update to my web site. Where appropriate, I'll include a link to the change.

Culture of Samurai
Most foreigners think of samurai, ninja, and geisha when they hear the word
Japan. Today I would like to write about samurai. The origin of samurai was before
one thousand years ago. The Samurai was focused on all over the world because Hollywood produced samurai's movie starring
Tom Cruise," LAST SAMURAI ",this year. Most famous samurai is " KENSHIN UESUGI ".He is brave , manly , selfless , clean ,
perceptive , good looking and merciful. But he had natural enemy "SHINGEN TAKEDA ". The battle of KAWANAKAJIMA that fought
each other is very famous. By the way samurai's clothes are unique. They were equipped with sword, armor, gauntlet, helmet,
shoulder pad, knee pad, etc. Anyway their cloth was full equipment to defend against from enemy's attack. Probably foreign
people think JAPAN is mysterious county.
Some foreign people still believed that all Japanese people are samurai. I love my country. So I proud this unique culture
and want to spread this all over the world more and more.
