Japanese Toilet

Japanese latest toilets have a lot of functions. When you sit down on there, you don't feel cold on your butt, the seat is already warm (it's not the warmth of someone that used it before you!) and you feel comfortable. So you don't have to hate going to toilet during in cold winter. After you finish the thing, it will wash your anus with warm water. All you have to do is pushing a button. There are some models that have a drier and dry you after washing it, you don't even have to wipe your bum. Such types of toilet seats are in wide use here. The diffusion is almost 70%.

Let's go to a toilet of some big department stores in a big city if you wanna see the latest clean comfortable toilets. Toilet cover opens and music starts (to hide the noise when you are getting a wash) automatically when you come in, of course the seat is warmed up, you can wash and dry your bum after finishing, and when you stand up, it'll flush by itself. Moreover, the powder room beside the toilet might be so beautiful and you might feel you are a princess or something, lol. They are well designed.

Restrooms are a place that remind us dirty things, but there are restrooms that don't remind us such things and let us feel comfortable and maybe a little bit happy when we go there. I think it is the result of the efforts of Japanese people who are tidy, and such a toilet is one of the thing that we can be proud of in the world :P

By the way, of course there are toilets that aren't a latest one. Especially about Japanese style toilets, I heard it is kind a hard thing to use for foreigners. Firstly, the shape looks so strange for them, and they don't even know the front side. And secondly, they're not used to to squat down over the toilet. You'd better visit here before coming to Japan. There might be a chance that all seats you can use are Japanese style ones! lol

Scott Murphy

I'm currently interested in an Artist whose name is Scott Murphy. He is from Chicago in the United States. He covers Japanese songs and sings them fluently, he also translated some songs into English, and they sound so cool for me. Maybe you can't notice that he is an American with his Japanese songs (but i think if you listen to them carefully, you might notice that some of his constant sounds sound stronger than Japanese as English speakers do). But yeah, when I listened to his songs at a store, I got so shocked, and bought some CDs of his.

I heard that he used to sing and play music in a punk band "ALLister", and couldn't even speak Japanese until he visited Japan some years ago. When he visited Japan, and listened some J-Pops, he liked them and started leaning Japanese by himself. It is interesting enough that an American artist covers J-Pops, but if the person can sing such songs well, it's more interesting. So, I'm curious about him so much. He is gonna come to Japan next year again. Hopefully I can go to his live concert and listen to his songs in person.

He writes a blog in Japanese too!

Who Will Become My Husband??? :P

You know what girls around this age talk about when they meet after a long while? It's about work, private life...especially marriage! However I really don't feel I'm mature enough to get married; I still feel like I'm just a girl...I like playing around, shopping, want to be pretty...I'm sometimes irresponsible, feel like I'm thinking only about myself, and regret about it again and again...lol. So, I'm still just a girl. But talking about such a topic is fun. Actually, when I met some of my uni friends the other day, our conversation came alive with the topic. It is interesting, because when I was a kid, my present age looked so adult and mature, but now, About my friends who are used to be around me haven't got married yet because maybe we are walking kind a similar way (like going to an uni, work...etc.) but there are a lot of girls who already got married and even have a kid however they are younger than me! Living with a guy that you love the most will be so enjoyable but I can't imagine me doing that now. I don't think that I can become a wife or mother yet. There are some reasons.

Firstly, I can't do housework...err, of course I can, but I can't do it efficiently since I don't do it at home. I know I have to do but, you know, living with families makes me feel I don't have to do...Secondly, I can't afford to do other things now. I started working in this year, and don't have any space to care about other people seriously.Although I'm feeling like that now, just talking about our ideal marriage or talking about other people's love is fun. For example, about my ideal.

1. The guy has to be smart in some degree and he has to listen to my opinion and take care about it; I don't want to go out with a guy who pushes just his plan every time.
2. The guy must not be just sweet to me; when I'm doing bad, he shouldn't just spoil me. I want a relationship that both help enhancing each other.
3. The guy has to be serious about relationships; I hate guys who sleep with a lot of girls.
4. The guy has to have a stable job, and earns money enough to do something +α beside our normal life; I don't wanna be busy with just to live day by day).
5. The guy has to let me manage all of the money of us; of course I won't waste it!
6. The guy and I have to have a similar sense about spending money and educating a kid.
7. The guy has to do housework as well; I really don't want a husband who can't even cook.
8. The guy has to take me to a trip a lot since I want to go!

There are much more, lol. Do you think it is a lot? But I think marriage is life, not a goal. So we have to spend time together in the rest life (hopefully..). If it doesn't work well, maybe I have to think about divorce. Of course I haven't experienced it, but such a thing looks troublesome sometimes especially when it involves matters about children and money.

I want to have a stable life. But just being stable will be boring. I also want to have an exciting life sometimes. As a same thing can be said about a bf. Girls want their mind to be peace, on the other hand, they want to have thrilling things (not a big one!) too. Of course it's just my opinion but I think maybe a lot of girls are feeling like that. So we want a nice bf/husband who is not just boring but also being reliable :) Lastly, I'm not interested in a wedding reception as much as other girls. Girls says they want to wear pretty wedding dress and want to be blessed by everybody in their wedding party. But about me, It is okay if I can take a nice picture at a photo studio in a pretty dress. I'd like to go on a trip rather than making such a great party if I have money to spend on a big party. I wonder if someone wants to become a husband of such a weird girl :P~ But I know that myself have to become close to my ideal before requesting a lot of things to my future husband :D
