Putting on the skirt.

If you are a man, And if you are very careful about your appearance, you would be interested in putting on the skirt.

I have seen the men who wears the skirt a few times in Yamanashi University. One man's fashion style looks like a hippie. He was wearing some unusual clothes and accessories. Another man was properly dressed. And it seems that he was a smart dresser. Today, Some high-quality brand products various skirt for men as modern fashion. And we will able to buy some nice skirt for men in the secondhand clothes stores or the outlet stores. But I think it is difficult to take in the skirt in our fashion styles.

Do you know the kilt? Kilt is the traditional cloth in Scotland. Scotsmen wears it when they take part in some formal events. And they don't wear the underwear when they put on it. I was surprised about it!!

Putting on the skirt of man is interesting. I especially like the kilt because it is very cute. I would like to put on it someday.

My dreams!!

What is your dream? I have some dreams of future.

I want to be a national or local civil servant. I think this job is worth doing because I can work for the citizens of Japan. And also my father is a local civil servant in my hometown. He is proud of his job and I admire my father. The exams of national employee are very difficult so I will have to study as hard as possible. In fact, I started to study for it.

Also, I want to a travel agent. Especially, I want to do the works on traveling abroad. I think it is great to visit many countries through the job. Sadly, I've never been abroad. So I would like to study English very hard and save a lot of money so as to go abroad.

Another my dream is building my house. I hope to own a house someday. I want to make a soundproof chamber or studio in my house and hold a concert with my friends at there.

I have various things that I want to do in future. I think my dreams will come true if I always do my best on everything!! Making effort is indispensable for dreams.

Culture of dating

I think dating is exiting. There are various differences about dating in Japan and the foreign country.

I think that Japanese people are very shy. They would not like to express their love in the public. Contrarily, it seems that foreign people don't care that. In fact, I often see them who are kissing and giving their love a big hug in station or park. I can't do it like that.

When I eat out with my girlfriend, I usually pay her share. And most of my friends said that they paid more money than their girlfriend paid. What do you think about it?

I like to go shopping on date. Especially, Tokyo is great shopping area. A lot of clothing shops in there. So I never get tired of Tokyo.

Dating is too fun. Please tell me your experience on dating and some cultures of your country about dating.

Great weekend

If I had a long weekend, I would go to Kyoto. I went there on a school excursion in junior high school. It is great memory!! There are many Japanese cultures and structures in Kyoto. ‘Kiyomizudera’ is a world cultural heritage. It is beautiful temple and a lot of nature around it. We can see various style of this temple every four seasons. I would buy ‘Yatuhashi’if I visit Kyoto. It is famous sweets as a souvenir from Kyoto. It is kind of a rice cake and it has various tastes. For example, chocolate, strawberry, melon….and so on. It is delicious. Do you know the young Japanese dancing girls of Kyoto? They are called ‘Maiko’. They put on unique makeup. They powder their face. They have a guest be amused by their dancing at a banquet. To my regret, I had never seen them. So I want to see them on next trip on Kyoto. Kyoto is great place so I want to visit there again. If you come to Japan, I recommend you go to Kyoto.

School Festival

Daily life

I usually wake up 8 o’clock. I have 15 classes in a week. Fortunately, I have only one first period class this semester. I’m happy because I’m not good at waking up early in the morning. I have a part-time job. I’m working at a restaurant three or four times in a week. I have been working there for about a year. Mainly, I wait on customers and serve dishes or drinks. My restaurant is famous for 'houtou' . It likes 'udon' and it is local specialties in Yamanashi. it is very delicious and you can eat various vegetables. I get used to working there,but it is too hard.

My hometown

My hometown is Uonuma city in Niigata Prefecture. Now, I live in Yamanashi Prefecture. It takes about seven and a half hours to get to Yamanashi from Niigata by train. I return to my home town about only three times in a year because it is too much trouble to return to there.

Uonuma is well-known for rice and sake. Koshihikari of Uonuma product is the brand-name rice which is the most famous in Japan. Many people of my town have one's rice field. Of course my parents' house makes rice, too.

And there are some beautiful mountains and rivers in my town. We can take many kinds of edible wild plants and fishes in there. Those are very delicious. And there are a lot of park and open spaces where nature is rich in my town. In my childhood, I played many sports or exercises with my friends in there. For,example, baseball, soccer, hide-and-seek and tag. it was too fun. My town is safe and stillness so there is good place to live. Please come to my town by all means if you like rice and sake and nature!!

Nice to meet you

Hello, my name is Takefumi Komagata. I am a sophomore of Yamanashi University. My major is International Culture. I like English very much. So I want to go to study abroad at the age of a university student.
I’m from Koide in Uonuma city, Niigata Prefecture. It’s located in the middle of Niigata. It’s famous for rice and sake. Koide is rural area, but there is a lot of nature and fresh air and you can enjoy hiking and jogging in my town. In winter, a lot of snows fall in my town. So we can enjoy many winter sports. I am looking forward to be winter very much now!!
My hobbies are playing the guitar and listening to music. I belong to ‘free music’ club in Yamanashi University. I practice with my friends one or two times in a week. It is too fun. And I listen to various kinds of music. Especially, I like foreign music. I like not only rock but also blues and jazz, dance music…and so on. Sometimes I also go to the concert. I went to ‘Summer Sonic 09’ this summer. Do you know this event? It is the rock Festival which more than 100 groups participate in. I had a pleasant time in there. If there are some recommended band and artist, please tell me.
