to Naoto & inspiring person

How was the test? I think you would be able to get a good grade! When I looked at your note, I thought again at lunch time that you were diligent and had good handwriting! And you are really good at Kanji, so I wish I were as good at Kanji as you. Actually until recently, I have not been aware of the ability of Kanji. I am really disappointed... As one of Japanese, I have to learn it in earnest before I have no time to do. Whatever jobs we have in the future, learning Kanji should be essential and important for us.

I think we have homework to write about person or people who always inspire us on this blog,,, but is it my mishearing??(;;-_-)
Anyway, I will write about a famous rock band as a precaution...

Mr.Children is one of the most famous music groups in Japan. Until today from 1992 when Mr.children made a major debut, they have made a lot of masterpieces in the music world, the influence of which has been enormously spreading even today. Actually, especially in 1990s, the so-called "Misuchiru Phenomenon" was brought about. It should be no exaggeration to say that Mr.Children is the top of musicians or music groups at least in Japan.


It is when I was a junior high school student that I listened to their songs for the first time in my life, but in those days, I thought I had listened to their songs for some times and had knew them. Although I sometimes think about it, it is the fact that I had listened to their songs for the firs time in those days. Despite my whole ignorance about Mr.Children, I had a feeling of familiarity, and then of course their songs were so great beyond description. Even today, the popularity and influence is not so much unchanged as spreading up.

I have a lot of CD, but not all of their CD. Now there are some rare CD commanding a premium which are, of course, very expensive. I think I can't buy such expensive things and won't buy them, but wherever possible, I intend to collect their CD, which is one of my dreams!

Now that I have listened to their songs for about 7 years, Mr.children is essential for me. Their songs always make me look back on my memories. When I feel gloomy, their songs encourage me. Interestingly, all of the members don't know that they always help me. They may uncousiously support the life of people in Japan by doing what they like. If so, there is nothing or nobody as admirable as them.
