MUSE'S MUSIC VIDEO

It was sunny and cool today.


I bought a really moved music video of MUSE, Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption) on iTunes.

I knew it by online Japanese news.

Japanese comedian,Tekken made this music video. 

He draws pictures and cartoons very well.

It's the original cartoon.



 


It is really moved and inspired.


According to the online news, MUSE members watched it on You Tube and decided to adopt it as their official music video.

It is really good story and the music is also brilliant.

I hope many people see and listen to it.

And I want to listen to MUSE's songs more.


Now you can buy it on iTunes, please check it.

MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY

It was sunny and warm today.


It was my mother's birthday !!
 
I sent a birthday present for her by express service because she doesn't live in my neighbourhood now.

I live in Tokyo and it takes about 2 hours to my hometown by aeroplane.

The present is Canon compact photo printer !!






http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Printers/Direct_Photo/SELPHY_CP810/


Many people recommend it on the review sites.

It is easy to print photos and it doesn't need to use a computer.
  
She is not good at using computers. So I chose it.

It costs about 8,000 JPN , the price is also good.

I hope she likes it.

TOKYO DISNEYLAND

It rained heavily and the wind was strong.

So I was at home all day.


The weather was nice and refreshing yesterday.

I went to Tokyo Disneyland with my husband.

He likes there the most in Japan !!

Actually we had our wedding at Disney Ambassador Hotel in Tokyo Disney Resort.


It was not weekend but crowded yesterday ,because Tokyo Disneyland produces interesting Halloween this year again.









We rode some amusement attractions, saw the night parade and had special dinner.

Of course, all of these were brilliant and really enjoyable !!

I had a fulfilling day.

I had never been to Disneyland in abroad.

I'm planning to go to Disneyland Paris after I move to UK.

I'm looking forward to it already.

TOKYO STATION

It was sunny and warm today.

It is autumn now and it's the best season for sightseeing in Japan.


I went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch in Ginza.

After that, I walked to the Tokyo Station.

It takes about 15 minutes from Ginza.

The area around Tokyo Station is not so crowded.

But there are a great number of people today !!






They took pictures of Tokyo Station.

On October 1st, it was reopened.

It is very beautiful building !!

And it looks like old design because it was restored to its original condition,1914

I think it is worth visiting.

TAIYAKI

It was rainy today.

The rain got heavier and heavier.


I went to the "taiyaki" store in Azabu, Tokyo.


Below is the quotation of the store, Naniwaya's introduction.

Established in 1909, Naniwaya Confectionery specialises in "taiyaki", a unique Japanese pastry shaped like a red snapper("tai") with a pancake-like outer shell filled with sweetened bean paste.


The store has been sold "taiyaki" over 100 years !!

Of course the taste is really good.





Eating area available inside the store.

I also like to eat it  with ice cream.

It is absolutely scrumptious !!

MATCHA PARFAIT

It was cloudy and cool today.

It started raining early in the evening.


I had a matcha(Japanese green tea) parfait at Tsujiri.






"Tsujiri" is very famous traditional retailer of Japanese tea.

And they have some Japanese style cafes in Kyoto and Tokyo.

I love their green tea sweets.

Of course their sweets are delicious beyond words.

They are moderately sweet.

The cafes always have a long queue of people waiting.

But I didn't wait so long today.

I was so lucky !!

DIVERCITY TOKYO

It was little hot for October.

Today's high was 26℃ in Tokyo.

TOKYO SKY TREE

The wather was refreshing last weekend.

My husband's parents came to Tokyo the day before yesterday.

So we went to see Tokyo Sky Tree.

This tower was opened this March.

It is 634m high, the tallest free-standing broadcasting tower in the world !!




I had seen it in so many pictures and on television that to see it with my own eyes was really overwhelming.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get the tickets to go up to the tower's observation decks.

But I was satisfied with this view and enjoyed shopping.

There are a lot of traditional shops, restaurants, and other interesting entertainments.


 
 



If you visit Tokyo, I recommend Tokyo Sky Tree and aroud complex town the most.

I'd like to visit here and go up to the tower's observation decks before I leave Japan.

I think Tokyo is always changed and really exciting city.

It was a really nice day today in Tokyo !

There wasn't a single cloud in the clear, blue sky.



I took pictures from my balcony.
