J-Subcultures

I'm going to talk about AKB 48. The whole AKB team actually consists of 150 members, and not only here in Japan, but also in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The entire AKB 48 franchise includes some 150 girls, making them the largest pop group in the world. Its 48 members rotate in teams to perform live almost every night.
The man behind it all is Yasushi Akimoto. A respected music producer in Japan. He created the group in 2005 to make become stars out of ordinary girls.
The group has also gained significant attention around the world, from New York, to Moscow, to Paris.
None of the girls have strong personalities, but once they get together, they bring like chemical reactions. In other words, all the girls are quite ordinary, but when they get together they become extraordinary like super hero.
So I think people in the worlds are attracted by them. I was wondering they are just for nerds. But it had been changed. I'm not interested in AKB48 that much but I hope AKB48 will make foreigners to start interest in Japan. Moreover they come to visit in Japan to see AKB48.

My future

Actually I haven't decided my job yet. It has been held company a briefing session already. I went there to hear what kind of job I'm interested in. But I thought getting a job would be much harder than I imagine. Moreover I still don't know what kind job I want to do. I've wanted to work in the field of mass communication such as MBS,  MTV. Because it seems very attracting job. Obviously it's popular job among our generation. I also would like to work in Toronto. I've been there twice and I really liked it. I know many places in Toronto pretty much. So employing the traveling company and guiding Japanese people would be great and exciting. I'd like to have family in the future. I'd love to marry by 30 years old and have a child. I have to think my future seriously for that. I've been taking TOEIC test every month since September. Because it's more opportunities to get job. I'm trying to get over 800 score. Job hunting has already started.

My neighborhood

Unfotunately my family don't have a good relationship with neighborhood. My family and neighbor are used to have a good relationship. I talked to them sometimes like say hi. But when I was 8 years old our relationship became worse. My family bought a BMW. I feel kind of embarassed because it's expensive. A few weeks later they bought a luxury car! I don't remember what exactly it was. One time we went to abroad as trip during summer vacation. A few weeks later they went to abroad as family trip. I thought they wanted to show that we are afforfable to do whatever you did. It's kind of funny. I think some neighbors tend to compare with their neighbors as a rival in Japan. I hope our family have a good relationship with neighborhood eventually.

Socialization

My parents used to strict with me. Especially they were strict to study. When I get bad grade at school they get so mad at me. They didn't let me go outside until finished my homework. I had to study so hard everyday until graduate elementary school since I was little kid. My parents also forced me to enter private school to get in Kwansei Gakuin junior high school. Because it's more opportunity to get job. I tried to study so hard. Fortunately I passed entrance test and I go to Kwansai Gakuin University now. I used to think my parents were annoying but I really appreciate how they brought me up. I would grow my children up as same way.

Compared with Esperanza

Compared with Esperanza, my childhood was so much better. Esperanza had moved a lot. And she had trouble with land lord. I have lived in my house since I was born. We have never moved. Because my dad has two jobs. He goes out to work during weekdays but he works in my house during weekend. In other words, we can't move. But I think it it very happy to stay same place. I didn't have any complaints about my house.
  When I was staying in State, I lived with host family. My host mother got mad at me so easily. She was kind of annoying for me. Needless to say, I had to work a lot in the house. So I tried to stay out as much as possibe. It was bitter experience. But I realized how important my family and deeply appreciate them. I could imagine how difficut her childhood was.
