a-bomb

today I'd like to introduce the one of most important of hiroshima history.
do you know what happened to hiroshima in 1945?
well i should talk about it, this blog would be most serious blog as ever written.
we had atomic bomb dorm in the central city.


in1945 August 6th, at 8:15 am, a-bomb was dropped in hiroshima.
this was the first time that a-bomb was used in the world.
it caused a tragic incident, i can say it was a huge scale of murder.
this bomb killed 14 million people. It destroyed all buildings, houses, everything but not a building which is called a-bomb dorm.
the reason only this building was left was because a-bomb exploded just above this building so that it wasn't affected strong heaty wind, which was caused by explosion.
also,　it had lots of windows so that strong wind went through the building without pressing down.
people are still suffering because of radiation caused by a-bomb.

i believe hiroshima people have responsibility to tell this tragic incident to prevent a-bomb used again.
all hiroshima student learn and listen to victim' story every year, go to a-bomb dorm and a-bomb museum for school trip.
i made "senba-tsuru"(crane which is made of origami paper, supposed to make thousand of it) every year when i was in elementary school. I mean, our school made thousand cranes, not only myself. Thus most of hiroshima people can make crane with origami paper even first grade kids.

i hope a-bomb will be NOT used never and ever again.

thus i strongly opposed nuclear weapon test .

i hope no people would have tragedy that we had in 1945 forever.

hiroshima dialect

you know we have different accent or pronounce even we are same Japanese..

i found interesting picture about hiroshima dialect, it shows what words are liked most...

i'll introduce some of words from this picture.

[No.1]
we love to use 'jya' , 'ken' or 'ke' in the end of sentences.
ex...

Kono Okashi Maji Oishii ke, Tabetemi! :) [hiroshima]

( this candy is really good, try it!) [english]


whenever using 'jya', 'ken' or 'ke', it would be Hiroshima dialect!

☆Tau means to reach

...ex

-Ano Hako Made Todoku? [standard]

-Ano Hako Made Tau? [hiroshima]

-Can you reach that box? [English]

☆Waya means messy, confusing, reckless, ... a lot !

it's like the right picture→

...ex

-Kinou party De Mucha shitetayo. [standard]

-Kinou party De Waya Shiyotta yo. [hiroshima]

-You messed up the party yesterday. [english]

Lastly,

☆Tachimachi means first of all / for the time being

...ex

-Toriaezu Sore de Maniau darou. [standard]

muuusic♪

Do you love music?
Do you love Hiroshima?

then, do you know Hiroshima musicians?
famous artists are Porno Graffitti, Okuda Tamio, Perfume, and Metis.



Today I'll introduce Porno Graffitti, and Metis briefly.


Porno Graffiti, famous rock band,


Two members in the band,Akihito Okano is singer, Haruichi Kondo plays the guitar.
Until now they releaed 29rd CDs (/'3)/
usually they are called PG or Porno, I call them Porno.


Why this name was named for this band? They says they didn't want ordinaly name, they wanted to stand out from the other band. they chose this name from the second Album of Extreme, American rock band.


they started from 1994, had activities mainly in Osaka.
They became famous when "Apolo" was released.


They shows affection to Hiroshima by using Hiroshima dialect on TV or radio, singing in Hiroshima dialect, and they had held the concert in their home town for free.


When I was junior high school student, I used to listen to the local radio, there was competition for who could sing Porno well, who could imitate Akihito's voice.


WE all love them!







Metis, female reggae singer! she came out from 2006, her name is come from the Greek story.


Her parents had divorced when she was three years old, then have lived with her mother.
She showed her appriciate on her song called "Haha Sanka" (prize to mom)
I actualy listened to this song, it made me cry, I felt how she really loved her mom.


She said "thank you for giving me a birth" in the end of song, that was impressive.


She always tries to tell peace and love through her songs.





You should listen those songs!!


thank you (^^)/

Hiroshima sports team!

What's popular sports in Japan?

In Hiroshima, baseball and soccer teams are really famous!

Today I'd love to introduce these.

Hiroshima baseball team! Our color is red that expresses passion, the symbol is a carp.When the atomic bomb was dropped Hiroshima people formed the baseball team to cheer themselves and named "carp" to overcome hardships like carp go up the river.

Carp baseball stadium was built by the community chest from citizens. Most people donated money for it. From this, you can see how we love carp.

I love the way to cheer. We have so many kinds of ways that people can't remember at once.

We keep doing squat while our batting, and sings different songs for each player, each situation.

Even carp is not strong, still we love to watch and support them!

Hiroshima soccer team! Team Color is violet, the slogan is "we fight together".

They are not storong, either like carp. However hiroshima people love them because they often teach children how to play soccer. we have strong communication!

I believe fun services and handsome players are most in Japan soccer team.

our both teams are not strong but we have strong nationalism for these!
we love and cheer them forever =]

Hiroshima yummmy food

Do you know what famous food are in Hiroshima? I'd like to introduce some of them today =)

Okonomiyaki

most famous food in Hiroshima! there is another kind of okonomiyaki in Osaka, its really difference, heavier food in Hiroshima, because noodles and more vegetable in it.

I love both of them though, to eat enough I would choose Hiroshima one.

their tastes are also different in each okonomiyaki store, so what Hiroshima people built was Okonomiyaki tower in downtown. It has three floors, 25stores in total!! Not only the tower, we have Okonomiyaki museum too. Now you can see how much Hiroshima people love okonomiyaki!!

Momijimanjyu

this is also most famous sweets in Hiroshima. this is famous in Miyajima ; where is the one of the World Heritage Site. Its shape is maple, and it's made of a kind of hotcake dough.

There are many kinds of taste like bean paste, chocolate, cream, and cheese. My favorites are all of them, actually.

Not only tastes, but also there are many kinds of momiji manjyu such as Momijimanjyu soft cream ice (we call it Momiman ice) ; it has momijimanjyu in the ice cream! and Momiji manjyu fry : fried momijimanjyu. I really love it!

they are cheap and small so that you can try many different momijimanjyu!

I hope readers got hungry after reading this, Hiroshima food are so good and unique. I can't live without them. As I wrote this blog, I'm getting miss them.
So what I want to say is you should eat these food if you come to Hiroshima!★

thank you <3

hiroshima festival

In Hiroshima there are two big festivals, flower festival and Toukasan.
We had flower festival on GW, and will have Toukasan in June, so if you get interested in these festivals after reading this, you should go to Toukasan this June, flower festival next year!!

Flower festival- it takes 5days, each days has different huge parades, events and concerts. There are many kinds of food stands so that you can eat all Hiroshima's food there. Like the below left picture, parades are really exiting, not only car but also a lot of groups are marching such as band group, dance group, everyone looks fun!! My high school joins parade every year, batton club and marching band club. Anyway you can see what Hiroshima is through this festival!


Secondly I'd like to introduce Toukasan, the biggest summer festival in Hiroshima. Through this festival we can feel that summer coming, and we wear yukata (traditional cloth for summer festival) for the first time in a year. Like flower festival, we enjoy parade, walking around, and eating! I usually don't like crowds but I love to go there, because I love food stands and I can see many friends there.
This year it will be held from 6th June to 8th.
