April.5(Mon):
Ah, If you wondering what I was doing...about my work, I was doing a movie. It is titled "Hypnosis". It took about two months. It was finally done last week. Oh, I was doing this movie since January and I feel like I just did a movie only in this year. Of course, I have a regular TV show. But, the movie promotion will follow, such as the preview and the interviews. I will be busy promoting the movie. I am really preoccupied by this movie now.

April.6(Tue):
Ah, Now...I explained about the movie "Hypnosis" yesterday. Speaking of the brad story line of the movie, the title "Hypnosis" came from the story line of the movie that many mysterious incidents happened because of hypnosis. My role is ... a psychotherapist who uses hypnosis to treat his patients. It is a role of specialist. The psychotherapist will be solving these mysterious incidents...but toward the end of the movie, the psychotherapist himself became the victim of hypnosis and finding himself in the deep end. Ah... the costars for this movie are Ms. Miho Kanno, with whom I did the drama "Sommelier", and Mr. Ken Utsui. There are more casts in this movie. I will talk about them tomorrow.

Yesterday, I run of time talking about the costars of the movie. The costars are... Ms. Miho Kanno, whom I worked with in the drama "Sommelier", and Mr. Ken Utsui. Also, other casts are very interesting. You can see them only in movies. The movie is basically a psycho-holler similar to suspense. I think this story is suitable for the end of the century. It is quite a scary movie, yet it is a nice enjoyable movie. This movie is not like any other movies. Please look forward everyone to watch this movie.

April.8(Thu):
Ah was that around last week? The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Speaking of cherry blossoms, this is the time of the year to go to see cherry blossoms. Going back to the movie, the studio, which I was commuting for two months was Toho Studio in Setagaya, Tokyo. In Toho Studio, there were lots of cherry blossoms blooming. It was great. There were so many cherry blossom trees that the studio looked very unusual. The studio was famous for the cherry blossoms. Um. Cherry blossoms were very beautiful, but the filming was all day from morning to evening that I didn't have time to see them often. When I came to the studio in the morning, the sun light was peaking through the branches of cherry blossoms. It was beautiful. Then, in the night, after the filming is done, on my way out of studio, I was able to see the cherry blossoms in the dark. I enjoyed the cherry blossoms in the morning and in the evening. However, I think the cherry blossoms in the night were more beautiful. I am more of the person who enjoys the cherry blossoms in the night.

April.9(Fri):
I guess those people, who just started to work, are still nervous about their new environment. You know, the town is full of the people who are not used to wear suits. Especially, guys, who used to wear T-shirts and jeans when they were students, are now wearing suits and ties everyday. That is a lot of work, I guess. I wonder what are the tips to be hip wearing suits. How do you think? But, when I look around the town, I get very disappointed by the people who are wearing wrinkled suits or shirts with dirty sleeves. For both men and women, I think that the suits have to be clean...um without wrinkles. And, white shirts got to be white. Oh, but these are easily get wrinkled, (laughing) you know, when you ride trains. Um. But, I still think that it is important to care about what you wear. Also, the shoes. Um. I think everything look great if the shoes are shined well.
