Blog #9 : My favorite films!!

Kako Furukawa

Hello. This time, I would like to recommend my favorite films to you.
There are three films. Let me introduce.

Now, Christmas is coming soon. So, first film is an thrilling and romantic story in a Christmas day.
The title is "Die Hard". there are four stories about Die Hard, but, I recommend the first and simple Die Hard. I wouldn't explain the story in detail. Please watch this movie yourself. If you watch it, you may feel uneasy. Certainly, there are a lot of thrilling scenes in this film. But, I think you will find the heartwarming and romantic climax. Please watch this film this Christmas.

And, this is a preview.

Second, I would like to recommend a comical film.
It is "The Blues Brothers" If you like music and bands, you should watch this film. this is very exciting and makes us very happy.
Whenever I feel unhappy, I watch and listening to this music.
 Now, it is very cold. So, please watch this film in your house, with tea and on the sofa.

Then, please watch this exciting music. 

Third film is "The Devil wears Prada". this film gives us energy and makes us cheerful. It may be for women, but men also watch this film. When I watch it, I thought about fashion, personality, work, and love. With this film, we can think and make our lifestyles by ourselves. After watch it, we will find what we want to do. 

Please watch this short preview.

These are my favorite films and they make me feel good every time.

Please watch them and let me know your impressions if you can.

Thank you for your reading!

Blog #9：Our Lecture at Gakushuin

Masashi Yamada

    On December 7, my circle held a lecture about "THE BODY SHOP", the England cosmetic company and it is famous for many women and the people who are interested in contribution to society at our university. It was so successful because 40 and more people joined in it. I was happy so much!

    I want to introduce 4 points when holding a lecture.


(Ⅰ) Select the Theme and Concept

    "What purpose is this lecture?", and "If this lecture hold, what do you want to change the people who join in it to? My senior advised me so much because if the theme of this lecture was vague, this event isn`t useful for everyone. I obeyed this advice, and decided that the theme of our lecture is "the value of THE BODY SHOP", and we aimed for participant to know new knowledge about contribution to society and fair-trade.


(Ⅱ) Deciding the guest

    It is important whether the guest whom we want to invite can come in the particular day which we thought of. At first, we thoughat to invite a gratitude in our university worked in THE BODY SHOP, but this person can`t have come in this day. So we give up and were introduced to Ayako Yamazaki, the speaker of this lecture.


(Ⅲ) How to Gather the people

    There are many ways to do it. The first is to urge our friends to participate. Second is to request many seminars and student groups to come and advertise. Third is to make ad for gathering and advertising. That is the ad made by me. And the last is to use social media - twitter and facebook. I made "fan-page" in facebook to gather and advertise. About five people know this event for this page and joined.

(Ⅳ) Place

    This event can be held in higashi-nigoukan 201(法経棟) because Isao Sakaguchi, professor of international politics, helped us. Normally, undergraduate students can`t use higashi-nigoukan, but this time, he booked this room by using his seminar`s name. This room can accommodate 55 people, and there were about 40 participants and 15 our circle`s member! So this lecture was successful. Moreover, professor Sakaguchi helped us one more. When using big advertisement, he gave us his name to use it.

    That ad was posted near nishi-nigoukan(西２号館) from December 2 to 8!! When we can have posted this ad, I cried a little because my effort payed in that time.

    As a result, this lecture was so successful, and I felt happy so much!
