Steve Jobs

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.(消費者に、何が欲しいかを聞いてそれを与えるだけではいけない。完成する頃には彼らは新しいものを欲しがるだろう。) ---- Steve Jobs

The author, being a math teacher for 35 years in high school, and a mother of four children and grandmother of five, has written a lot of books for which she has taken advantage of her years of experience as a teacher and her rich experience with her children and grandchildren, and this adorable gem was written under the theme of importance of self-confidence and real friends.

Going in Style ジーサンズ はじめての強盗

The best part about this movie is seeing Morgan Freeman(モーガン・フリーマン), Michael Caine(マイケル・ケイン), and Alan Arkin(アラン・アーキン) all on screen together. They have fantastic chemistry. Morgan Freeman's portrayal of Willie is incredible. His despair is heart-wrenching and he connects with the audience. Michael Caine really suits the role of Joe whose fearless personality helps accelerate the success of the robbery. Alan Arkin plays Al who acts innocent at first, but once the robbery becomes a reality, his wild side emerges, which is quite hilarious. For farther information, please visit the website.

at my alma mater 母校にて(7)

The new picture books I translated this year have also visited Tsuda University Alumnae Association. Also, one of the young members of our university's independent forum, "Translators' Network" held a read-aloud session, and I really appreciate such a beautiful opportunity. Many many thanks. Hope that our alumnae, especially the ones who are engaged in basic English or Japanese education and the ones who are in the middle of child-raising will enjoy using those books, and that the books will meet lots of new friends. Their books can be borrowed for 1 month in term time

Boys in the trees シークレット・オブ・ハロウィン


On Halloween 1997, two estranged teen skaters embark on a surreal journey through their memories, dreams and fears. This is a coming of age film with a heavy under lying sense of menace with the slight horror element. Fitting in is important in society and surviving it is hard, still we've all been or are there. We don't get a do over in life, then the choices we make are the ones we have to live with.

Lion ライオン 25年目のただいま


Very beautiful film with a powerful story line and superb acting from everyone especially Sunny Pawar(サニー・パワール)that plays the young Sarro, to Dev Patel(デヴ・パテル)who plays the older Saroo, and Nicole Kidman(ニコール・キッドマン)'s performance is heartfelt. It deals with aspects of origin and identity, and that we cannot escape from who we really are.
