LINKISS<3

Hi. Today I would like to share with you a few links.

First, i want to introduce a really nice place:)

I went to Would Trade Center Building (WTC) in Nanko, Osaka to have dinner for anniversary with my boyfriend three days ago. We had dinner at a restaurant on the forty-six floor of that building. We could see really nice view from big windows. This picture, on the left, is the kind of view we can see. Well this picture quality is not really good because I took this one on my cellphone camera.. I forgot to bring my degital camera on that impotant day! :(


We also went to the top floor ( fifty-one floor, I think) to see a nice view. Since it is observatery, you have to pay 800yen to get in, which is kind of expensive I thought, but we can see REALLY BEAUTIFUL view. I seriously recommend you to go there with your boyfriend or girlfriend. ha!


Also I am thinking that I might want to have our wedding at this place:)
It would be SO sweet! hehe. lol.



The another link I would like to show you is here.

This is a official website of COLOR which is a singer group. I really like their music, they are so sweet. If you are intrested in music, they have really nice voice, you should visit there and listen some songs. SERIOUSLY, THEY ARE SO GOOD.


That is all for today, thank you:)

The Seven-Five-Three Festival*

Hello everyone.

This picture you can see on the right side ---> is me. I know this is really pretty and nice picture! lol :P
This is when I was three years old and went to the shrine for The Seven-Five-Three Festival.

Do you know anything about The Seven-Five-Three Festival? Most Japanese know about it well, I hope, but I am going to talk about The Seven-Five-Three Festival for people who don't really know about it.

So this festival is held on November 15th every year for children who are seven, five, and three years old to celebrate the growth.
They usually go visit shrines or temples with usaually wearing japanese clothes like kimono and make-ups.

Also, they usually celebrate it with eating kind of candy called Chitose-ame. It is like thin and long, colored each with red and white because people believe that red and white are something good. What is more, the Chitose-ame is in the bag called Chitose-bukuro which has pictures of Tsurukame or Shochikubai, people believe those pictures are also something good.
So maybe I, in this picture, has the Chitose-ame as well ..I don't really remember but it seems like.

..I wondered if my parents still remember about that time.

loves everyone around me<3

Hello everyone.

It has been almost 2months since I moved to here and started to live by myself. I'm actually being really tired because you know I have to do everything by myself. I know it will be good for me that I'm doing cooking, cleaning, washing, or everything.

What I thought through living by myself is.. that I have to thank to my family especially my mom. Seriously, I didn't do anything about house work and who was doing all those things, my mom was. And I really didn't think about it, didn't notice anything, I mean, until these days. I really thank to my mom now. I have never said it to her and I am not going to, but I want to do something nice to her someday. and to all my family.

Through writing this, I thought I have some nice people around me like my family, friends, and my boyfriend. They are always supporting me, thinking about me, and you know loving me. What a lucky girl I am! haha. And I thoght I have to do same thing, I mean like being nice or something like that to them, too. Aww I really want to tell them my thanks. ...Thank you so much and I love all of you guys.

Commercial for mascara (an analysis)

Hi. Today I'd like to talk about the television commercial which you can see on japanese TV.

*watch this:


*Target Audience

Obviously this commercial is directed at women who put make-up on.
It should be for all women, however, it might be for more young women or even young girls (since these days young girls are putting on their makeups, too).

It is also for women who cares about that their mascara is coming off with sweat, tears, or humidity, or smudging their mascara. Actually this is the big point for this product, I think.

*Authority

As you can see, this commercial is using the famous singer, BoA, (actually Facio's image character is her for these days) she is really pretty and many women might think they want to be like her.

Also, the big trust for this is this popular cosmetic name, Fasio, and the name of company which made this product, KOSE.

So by these above things, audience will know about how it would be when they put on this mascara actually by seeing that image character, BoA because she is actually wearing this product and the high quality of this product.


*Emotion

In this commercial, the big water is coming to BoA's face but her mascara is still on, not come off or anything. This makes you feel "wow".
Women should feel they want it really bad by seeing this.

Another reason why they feel like they want to buy it is that BoA is actually wearing this product.
If they like BoA, they should want to check whatever she has.

So I think this commercial is using those techniques of emotion from target audience to sell this product.


*Logic/Information

As you are seeing this, you should be able to tell that this mascara is waterproof.
Also, from the beginning of this commercial, this product is Fasio and it is by KOSE.
At the end, it tells us that this product's actual name is "hyper stay mascara" and it is 1,260 yen.

By seeing BoA is wearing actual product, you can see how it is like when we wear this product.


*Evaluation

I think this commercial is really good and it would catch target audience's heart because it's really easy to understand, I mean, all information the audience want is in this commercial, I think.

On a scale of 1-10, I would give.. 9, because I am a woman and I can be a target audience actually, and I thought this is a really good product. Many women are caring about mascara, the most reason why for that is mascara is easy to come off with watering things.

So in this commercial, actual water comes to the face and it doesn't come off at all, WOW, it definitly cought my heart.
