It took six and a half hours to complete Onimusha at the first time. I played it rather slowly, but it has finished... It seems not to take very long time. I was ranked as a young warrior. Frankly speaking, it's not difficult for game maniacs, but I think it's a little difficult for ones who have no mania for games: especially the boss. No-game-maniacs, how do you defeat the bee woman? And now, I'm trying the second round... ...... ... Is that costume appropriate...? It would be better to create as many costumes as armours. Oh, yes, he can be masked by L2 button. I've just discovered it. Anyway, hoping to discover something else, I'll stick it out in the second round. I updated only this page...well, there's no problem. |

The lunar New Year has come; a Happy New Year! But people don't follow the lunar calendar in Japan. I, if anything, follow the lunar calendar, but I don't follow it so much these days. The year of the Snake of the Chinese zodiac has really (just) come today. Because a new year has really begun, I'm going to start working! Gasp! I have to play Onimusha before that. First of all, how about firecrackers...? A happy New Year anyway! |

This is Mt. Fuji. / BIG size  Whoever says whatever, this is Mt. Fuji. There is also a link to the big one above the photo, please click it. I was moved a little anyway because I saw it so clearly, moreover, from above. It reminds me a TV program that I watched a short time ago; they said Mt. Fuji could not be listed in the World Heritage because of "litter". "So please do something against the litter, everyone," they seemed to want to say. Then isn't it because of hot spring stations around it? I don't know very much, no, I don't know at all about the conditions to be listed in the World Heritage, but is there anything good if it is listed in the World Heritage? I went to the Island of Yaku for filming of Misty before; there was a forest of the World Heritage in Japan; because I heard that it was one of the World Heritage, I expected so much that I would breathe fresh air, and that I would see wonderful nature, but we human beings are prohibited from entering the World Heritage...... Then...but...somehow...I don't understand very well, but I want to enter there; it is listed in the World Heritage because it is wonderful, then I want look at it, so I want to enter it; but why it is prohibited...? WHY!?!?! I see! ...well, you think I will pollute it, don't you......? Though I don't know who decided it, please let nature lovers look at it, then it is also possible that the lungs soiled by nicotine would be cleaner a little. Hmm, I don't understand yet very well. Human beings are too selfish: they decide by themselves that this is the heritage and that is not, you can pollute and destroy there, don't they? By the way, the lunar New Year will come soon; Onimusha will come out soon; St. Valentine's Day will come soon; I will be thirty years old soon!!!! Ugh, what is the matter with me today...? Oh, yes, I will write an amusing topic, too. I heard this interesting story yesterday. It is a quiz. A man will get married. There are three prospective brides. To know them better, the man decided to give each woman five million yen, and observe what they would spend it on. The woman A spent it on wonderful clothes that she likes, cosmetics and hairstyling. And she said to him: "because I love you, I want to keep me beautiful to be loved by you for ever; I want to be your beautiful wife; everything is because I love you!" The woman B spent it on his favourite things, cars and clothes for example, anyhow, only on him; she said: "because I love you, I want give you something you like; I want to satisfy you. It is because I love you!" The woman C spent it on an investment in some project, and then she gained fifty million yen, and she returned him five million yen; with the rest of money, she established a company under the names of him and her; she said: "because I love you, I don't let you be in financial difficulties while living with you; everything is because I love you!" Now here is the question! Which woman did he choose? Think deeply, and then look at the answer. Answer |

I: "I must not play only UO; hmm, all right, I'll get to Dragon Quest in earnest and finish it up soon." Turn on the PlayStation 2! Loading, and then I chose 'Continue'. Screen: "no data." I: "...what?" I tried it once again, Screen: "no data." I: "......!!! Huhhhhhh?!!!!!!! Yiiipe!!!!... You must be kidding!!!? ...Really?" Therefore Dragon Quest was suspended completely. Once suffering such a case, I cannot make a fresh start for the time being... But please wait; I will play with you sometime. "Well, what will I do?" ...When I was thinking it, somehow my hand reached The Sims... I decided to play The Sims for the time being...... Nothing but PC games... That reminds me: it is said that there is a disease called the addiction to so-and-so these days... Be careful, everyone... (YOU should, Takeshi!!) The Sims has a function to import something like faces prepared by myself. He-he, how about...living together with that girl?! |

I watched TV too much today. I didn't find many good things on TV, same as in news. I feel that the world is gloomy. After watching too much TV, I suddenly remembered something at the South Pole. There was neither phone nor TV; no news of course. If I remember correctly, I used to say "somehow I feel it's nice to be in such a situation." If one doesn't know what's happening in the world, one worries about being left out; if one find out what's happening, one wants to know the most current information about it. Living in the society, one is limited by its frame. ... I think as follows: especially these days, it seems that something is going to happen. Though I don't know at all where, who, and what, I just have a vague foreboding. Is it just my imagination? Well, it could be a good thing. Changing the subject, I've just remembered one of the old tales of Buddhism that my master had told me. I like listening to old tales. Something that Buddha was talking about. He was talking about the order of various ages; I don't remember very well; after the religion age, there was the medicine (chemical) age and the science age... Ah, no, I don't remember (My master!! Please pardon me for being a lazy disciple). Anyway, in the end, beyond science, there will be a certain age; is it the energy age? ...Maybe it's wrong. w And the size of human beings at that time will be the same as the length from the tip of the finger to the elbow of Sakyamuni in the old days (it seems that people in that age were large). The life expectancy will be 30 years or so. And they will have a capacity for easily eliminating weapons (something metallic)... Am I right? Well, I told a storyless story, but it is quite interesting. By the way, referring to Amitabha, I hear Sakyamuni offered 48 great prayers when he tried to be Buddha. One of them is "If anyone calls my name sincerely, or if anyone asks me for help, I will certainly call him/her to my holy ground (? or somewhere like that) for practices after his/her death. Therefore we often hear people chant (?) "namo Amitabha, namo Amitabha", and also often use the phrase. By the way, I don't know any of the other 47 great prayers. Ha-ha. Namo Amitabha. |

It's endless. It's endless. When I become interested in something, I always tend to get endlessly and totally involved in it. But once I get attracted by any other thing, I then start getting involved in it. I seem to have been that way ever since I was a little kid. ...Does it mean that I cannot stick to anything and I get tired of everything very fast?? Yieee!!!! NOooo!! i am not like tha---t!! Anyway, my dad often says so indeed. Long time ago, when I was still in the elementary school, I learnt the microscope in science class. After coming home, I said: "I want it, I want one it, I want it; I want to study science!! Boohoo!!" (←I cried, moreover, very hard) And my parents bought a microscope for me against their will. (It was a very cheaply-made one.) Then in less than three days, I completely forgot about the microscope to the degree that I could not even remember where I kept it. ...Well, of course...I examined various things like salt and sugar, ...but you would stop doing that when you run out of things to view through the microscope, right? I wanted to look at snow crystals but we had no snow in Taiwan, you see? Later, it was at the lower secondary school, wasn't it? Somehow I was interested in Kendo Club. Yes, I must have been attracted by the costume, probably. After coming home, I said: "I want it, I want one it, I want it!!!! I want to practice kendo earnestly!!!" (←with a serious look) And my parents bought a kendo costume for me against their will. (It was extremely expensive.) I tried it on at home and thought: "heh-heh, I look quite nice in it, DOn't I? Heh-heh." On the first day at the kendo club, before starting even basic practices, they said I should strengthen my body??? And I was forced to keep running in the gym. I almost threw up. (Without the costume) I quit the kendo club on the next day. ............ ...... ... Hey...this is exactly one who cannot stick to anything. NOooo!!! I AM NOT LIKE THA----T!!! Heh-heh, you don't understand it anyway. -■■■- Well, I'm really interested in too many things, maybe; it's also true of this website; I make it from interest. I learn something because I'm interested in it...what's wrong with it? |
