Oct.4(Mon):
Ah, I would like to talk about "My private life" this week. Today's topic is fashion. Fall is a fashion season. Um. You know, you will notice lots of seasonal coats when you go to window-shopping. Those are very appearing. However, fall is not a season yet to buy a winter coat. Of course, it is so early in the season, that's why they still have the latest one in the stores. It's better to buy now when they have plenty of sizes and colors. But, we still have some warm days and it is hard to buy a winter coat before everything is gone. Um.. Oh well, I would like to buy at least one thing for each season. Obviously, I want to buy something I really like. That's a big shopping. Um. I am thinking about buying a coat this season, too. I want to buy something I can wear for a long time. Um. Something...which can go with everything. When it comes to clothes, it's better to buy something you will never get tired of. How do you think?

Oct.5(Tue):
Yes, Ah, The theme of this week is "My Private Life". Speaking of being private, the time to spend alone is very important. It could be in my room or in my car. The time alone in the car is one of very important times for me. When I talk about my car, BGM is essential. Um. It is very seldom for me to drive around without listening to something. I either listen to a radio or play CD in my car. It is interesting to note that there are differences between what I listen at home and what I listen in my car. Um. The music I listen at home is mellower or somewhat calm one. But, when I drive around, I listen to more up-tempo one, such as R&B or Rock'n Roll. I like to listen to light rock music in the car. Then, I am on the rhythm and ended up speeding too much. (laughing) That could be a really problem.

Oct.6(Wed):
Yeah, Ah, I have been talking about "My private life" this week. Well, I would like to talk about movies and video today. DVD is so great. The picture quality of DVD is so good that I don't want to see the movies on VHS any more. It is very strange, but DVD is better than watching a movie in a theater. DVD makes me wonder about the quality of movie films. If DVD is that great, the picture in a movie film must be really great. I watched "Say Hello to Mr. Joe Black" on the video at my friend's place recently. I saw this movie at the theater, too. I could see the difference in the qualities between VHS and the film shown in the theater. I heard that the movie is on DVD now. The scene, which Anthony Hopkins was in somewhere like a library and the voice from the above... the voice of death came with Brad Pitt through a stained glass, was amazingly beautiful.

Oct.7(Thu):
Ah, this week I am talking about my private life. Autumn is really the season to think about fashion. I would like to buy few things. I went to buy a suit recently. The opportunities wearing a suit are really limited, such as someone's wedding or funeral. (laughing) It is not so easy to wear a suit unless there are some special occasions. However, lately, I realized that I didn't have any regular suit. So, I went to buy a regular dark suit. I wonder when I can wear this. Well, pretty soon, it will be a party season. It will be nice to dress up to go to Christmas party and end of the year party given by my friends. Because I am working in the entertainment industry, my wardrobes are not well balanced. Besides, I wear all kinds of outfits for my work. I would like to be a person who can figure the day's clothes, even for the casual occasion, with TPO in mind. Well, I may be able to put my clothing together when I get older. I think I should wear something less casual when I get older. Otherwise, I will look weird. I am really looking forward to wear something less casual when I get older. How do you think?

Oct.8(Fri):
Yes, Ah, I talked about "My private life" for a week. Well, lately, e-mail is getting popular among SMAP members. This is kind late to catch the trend.(laughing) I got a PC about three years ago. It is a desk-top style. I keep it at home and use it sometime. Um. However, it is not exactly like PC is a part of my life. I do exchange e-mails with my friends. But...I am a less technical person, I guess. Um. I am not totally into computer. However, I heard that a person's knowledge of computer reflects the person's intelligence. If I learn more, I will be smarter and I can follow more complicated computer stuff. Um. It is not too much to say that understanding computer is a way to measure own intelligence. In that sense, I should learn more about computer, not just exchanging e-mails. I want to study more.
