Thank you for visiting our website. In this blog, I'd like to share anything related to Japan.


This is the first entry on this blog, so I'd like to talk about slightly personal things.


I wrote down about myself on the profile page.

I really like Japanese anime, especially "Love Live" series. There are several titles in this series. They have some patterns in these anime.

One of their characters is that real scenes of the cities appeared in these anime.

The first one set in Akihabara area. Many well-known places of Akihabara appeared.


This story was based on one of the social problems of Japan, decrease of birth rate.


Otonokizaka high school, which is a girl's school and has long history, was on the verge of closing because of the decreasing of prospective students. The second grade student, Honoka Kosaka, tried to gather the enough applicants of admission.

At that time, the popularity of "school idols", which is a kind of activity of idols in their school and sing and dance, so Honoka form the group in her school called "μ's" and struggled the school idol activity to make their school famous and gain the applicants.


That's the easy story of "Love Live" first series.

The significant point of this anime is that they sing and dance different songs in every episode. Not only the songs you can listen to in the anime, many other songs were released, which you can listen to in major subscription services, and those songs cover whole kinds of genres, and all of them are in high quality both musically and lyrically.

Their dances are also magnificent in both way of their choreography and camerawork.

Love Live protagonist's group "μ's" one of the major songs "Snow Halation"

In this music video "Snow Halation", the street between Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station, where is not so far from Akihabara, appeared as a stage.


There are still more things to talk about, but I'd like to write in next entry.
