For me, this course was really interesting.
As I wrote in the first blog topic for SE, I like writing very much, both in Japanese and English.
I can't think I'm good at academic writing, so I don't like such writing very much (it's sometimes really interesting, though). However, in this course, I could write whatever I wanted to write. I wrote a personal narrative, a book review and a lyric, and each one is what I hoped to write.
Moreover, this was the first time for me to be given many advices for what I wanted to write from the teacher and the classmates. It was so meaningful for me. I don't want to stop writing, and the advices I was given will be very useful.
This is the last blog topic for Sophomore English Course.
I enjoyed to keep a blog in English very much, and I want to keep this blog.
I'm also keeping a blog in Japanese for more than five years, so please come if you're interested in...

I Went to TOT Today!
Today, I went to the music event in Shibuya O-EA
ST with my friend, which is "Tears of Today".
I didn't know any artists who performed today, but my friend likes one artist and he took me out to the event.
His favorite artist is "Hitorie".
If you are the heavy user of NICO-NICO Douga, probably you know the name of "wowaka", who is one of the most famous vocaloid producer. The vocalist of Hitorie is wowaka.
I didn't know much about such things, but Hitorie was so cool.
Actually, the artists who performed in this live were a little noisy for me (even though I'm used to the loud music!), but they were not noisy (loud, though). Simply, I liked their music very music.
This month, I can go to so many lives!
I will go to more than 10 lives this month, and three of them are next week.
I'm very happy!

My Sister Sato
I have a younger sister, whose name is Sato.
My name is 沙耶 (Saya), and her name is 沙都 (Sato). We have same character in each name.
Our names are very similar, so it is clear that we are sisters by our names.
Sato and I are like best friends (at least, I think so).
We can talk everything, include something we cannot talk to our parents.
We sometimes have quarrel, but after 10 minutes or so, we soon forget about it.
Sato is now 17 years old.
Next year, she will take the entrance exam for universities.
She says she want to go to the university in Hokkaido, so maybe she will live in Hokkaido by herself. I must feel really lonely, but it's her dream, so I want to back her up.

I saw the movie "TSUNAGU"
Today, I saw a movie.
The title of the movie is "Tsunagu", which is originally the novel written by Tsujimura Mitsuki, who is one of my favorite writers.
I don't think the value of the movie is decided by whether the audience cry or not, but I cried by this movie very much.
I'm a fan of the original book, so I knew the story before I saw the movie (Actually, my second piece is the book review of "Tsunagu"). I didn't think I would cry. But I cried, maybe because of the actors.
Every actor was really good, but especially I liked Ai Hashimoto and Mirei Kiritani bery much. Ai Hashimoto is my favorite actress, and the scene which she cried was one of the climax of this movie. Mirei Kiritani was just the character whom I imagined when I read the novel.
It was the first time for me to cry by the movie because of the actors.
I really recommend this movie.

Studied with Kouhai
Today, I was called by my Kouhai, Risa, and I taught her English.
Risa is two years younger than me, and she is going to take the entrance exam next Saturday.
She said she is not good at English, and I was good at English (for the exam), so she asked me to help her.
We hadn't seen each other so long time, so I worried that we might not study much but talk so much, but I need not think it. She was really serious. We studied for six hours!
I don't know I can be helpful for her, but I strongly hope she can do well in the exam.

My View of Religion
I am very familiar with Christianity, because I went to Christian elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university. I have wanted to baptize for several times, but I couldn't.
My father is very strict Buddhist. He believes in Nichirenshu (日蓮宗), and he worship a household Buddhist alter every day morning and evening. He is so strict that when he got married with my mother, he refused to sing hymns (I hear this from my mother). Also, when I was a child, I found that my father and grandfather had quarreled. I heard that my grandfather was chosen as "Uziko" of the local shrine, just during a festival. My father was very angry about it, and he insisted my grandfather should decline it.
Through these incidents, I understood that my father hates other religions than Buddhism. So I could never say that I want to receive baptism.
I'm going to be 20 years old next December, so it will be the chance for me to think about receiving baptism. This time, I hope I can decide without my father's effect.

Reaction to the Concert
Yesterday, I went to CMS Orchestra the 84th Autumn Regular Consert.
I played the flute in brass band club of high school, but I've never played in orchestra. However, I really like to listen to orchestra music.
I'm taking the Western Music course this term. I studied about "Die Zauberflöte" composed by Mozart, and yesterday CMS played this tune. I often listen to the tune on CD, but it was first time for me to listen to this tune played in "live" of orchestra. I was really moved.
I could spend great time with the great music! :)

What does "Love" mean to me?
I think Japanese people tend to hesitate when they use the word "love". Even though there's the person who I actually "love", probably I cannot say "I love you " to him or her. Instead of saying so, I say "I really like you." There's huge gap between "love" and "like".
Then, what is the meaning of "love"?
In order to define it, I considered where the love is.
I can say I love my family. There are some merits to be with my family, for example, I can have a house to live, meal to eat. However, if there's no merit to be with my family, nevertheless I want to be with my family, just because I love them. I think this is a factor of love.
In short, one meaning of "love" is to want to be with someone with no benefit.
I cannot say the word "love" now, but I want to say this word to someone I really think so.

If I could change one thing about myself...
If I could change one thing about myself, I want to change my voice.
I don't like my voice very much, even though I like to sing.
I have a complex about my voice.
I think the tone of my voice is lower than the average girls' voices.
When I was talking with my friend, once he said that;
"Your voice is like a man! Do you have ojisan in your throat?"
I know that he was just kidding, so I laughed at that time, but I was a little shocked.
Moreover, my voice is too low to sing the songs which were sung by women artists.
For instance, I like Tokyo Incidents (東京事変) very much.
However, Sheena Ringo's voice (the vocalist of Tokyo Incidents) is so high and I can never sing their tunes.
I can sing almost no tunes of woman artists ;-(
I really wish my voice was higher than now...

What is "happiness" to me?
For me, "happiness" is not so big thing.
Even if there is a lot of money, it cannot always be said as happiness.
However, if there are the people who I love, for example, family, friends, I hope it can be said "happy".
I don't know the situation without enough money to live, so probably I'm saying whitewashing. Nevertheless, I believe that, happiness is there are people who love me and I love whom.

The happiest thing I ever experienced
There were many happy things in my life, but the happiest thing I ever experienced started with this tune, "Nanashoku Kureyon".
This tune was played by Trick Star, which was the Amateur band of Nagoya.
In 2010, when I listened to the radio, I found this tune.
Once I listened this tune, I soon liked and I wanted to go to their live.
However, they live and act in Nagoya. For me, Nagoya is so far, and I couldn't go to their live for two years.
This summer, one day, I knew that Trick Star comes and act in Tokyo. I soon decided to go.
And, at the almost same time, I knew Trick Star was going to be stop their activity. The live I'd decided to go was the semi-final for them.
I was really looking forward to going the live, but, I was scared.
I didn't know what I should say to the members, and I had no confidence to see their live without crying, because I liked them very much.
The day of the live, I was waited for them the front low.
Before the live began, I was struggling to stop my tears.
When the live started, I cannot stop crying.
Because the first tune was "Nanashoku Kureyon", Which I really wanted to listen in the live.
After two or three tunes, Kouta (the vocalist of Trick Star) said.
"It's OK. You can cry."
So, I cried (without voice) during and after the live.
When the live finished, Kouta comes to me and said.
"Thank you for coming and crying.
Did you hear me? You can cry."
I was so happy because he talks to me! And I started to cry again.
"Hey! Stop to cry, because I also cry in sympathy!" he said.
I don't remember the conversation we had well, but we talked for a while.
I could tell that I liked them and really wanted to come to the live.
At the very last of our conversation, Kouta said.
"Can we take the picture with you?"
Then, we took this picture.

"Can we take the picture with you?"
Then, we took this picture.
Kouta is the man who is in the center, and other two are also the members of Trick Star.
This picture is my treasure.
He said, "Trick Star stops, but I never stop singing. So, see you again."
I never forget his words.
I often go to live house and see many musicians.
But, Trick Star is the special band for me.

What are my greatest strengths and weaknesses?
One of my greatest strengths is that I can focus on something I'm interested in.
For example, I'm interested in music very much. So, I take the courses which are concerned to music. In these classes, I feel 90 minutes really short. However, it is very difficult for me to concentrate on something I'm not interested in very much. Moreover, it is not so easy for me to be interested in something. In short, I cannot focus on many things. This is one of my greatest weaknesses.
I have another strong weakness, which is shyness. I'm terribly shy, and I'm clueless about making friends and talking with someone who I don't know well. I can never talk to someone who I meet for the first time, unless he or she talks to me. I really want to improve this situation, but my shyness prevent it... This is the most serious weakness of mine.

If I had a billion yen...
If I had a billion yen, I would renovate my house.
My house is detached, but it's really narrow. Actually I don't have my room. There are four people in my family, but our house has only five rooms which are a dining room with a kitchen, Japanese-style room, lavatory,bathroom and nursery room. My parents don't have their room, so they sleep in the nursery room at night.
I wish there would be my room. Not only my room but also ｆather's room, mother's room and my sister's room. If I had my room, I could have my book shelf in my room, I have so many books, but I'm running short of the place to keep them now. In order to do so, I really want to renovate my house with a billion yen.

What is the most precious thing in my life?
I have many things that I think is precious in my life, but the most precious thing is this album.
I was given this album when I graduated from brass band club in high school.
In this album, there were over 100 short letters from my kouhais and some photos of our memory. Our club was so big that it is almost impossible to talk or know all of the members, but many students wrote me that "I like the sound of your flute and piccolo." I was really happy.
In the club, I was the leader of the flute section, and it was my first time to be a "leader" of something. I'm not good at speaking, teaching and leading, so maybe I was not a very good leader. But when I was given this album, my kouhai said "I wanna be the leader like you." Probably it was a kind of adulation, but I was very glad to hear that.
I spent almost all my junior-high and high school life for the brass band club. I was always thinking about brass band club and flute section, and it was definitely the most precious memory for me. Especially, this album is the symbol of the memory.

My Favorite Book: Harry Potter Series
I'm introducing my favorite book.
My Favorite book is Harry Potter.
Actually, this book is the reason why I wanted to study English at first. Almost 10 years ago, at first I read the book, I wished I could read this book in original, so I decided to study English hard. 3 years ago, I tried to read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in English, Some parts were difficult for me, but I could read other parts. I was really happy.
Harry Potter series is, you know, the story of the wizard academy. Harry is the boy called "the boy who lived" and his companions fight against "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", who is the most terrible wizard in the world.
This story is very very very exciting, because it's so realistic. When I was 10 years old, I really waited for the owl which would give me the invitation to Hogwarts. Even though it didn't come, I practiced the spells which Harry used in the story with my friends. I still remember most of the spells and effects.
Another reason why I love the story is the attractive characters. Harry and his friends are very courageous, but they are just like me and my friends. In the story, the worry about the exam, fall in love, and sometimes have a big dispute. They are normal teenagers just like me, and this makes the story more familiar.
Harry was 17 years old when he defeated "You-Know-Who". Now I'm older than him, but I still have so many things which I can learn from him and his story. The owl didn't come to me, but I still believe Hogwarts is somewhere in the world and I want to be a person like Harry and his friends. Harry Potter is the bible for me.

My Reaction to "While Listening Linear Blue"
Today I'm writing about my favorite tune.
One of my favorite musicians, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, released the new CD this week.
「リニアブルーを聴きながら(While Listening "Linear Blue")」/UNISON SQUARE GARDEN
I like this band very much, and I'm going to go their live next week.
I'm really looking forward to it. I respect Tabuchi Tomoya, who is the bassist and the song writer of this band.
"While Listening Linear Blue" is the theme song for the movie "Tiger and Bunny" (This anime is really exciting!), so maybe some of you have heard this song in TV or something.
In this tune, they sing this lyric:
It doesn't need to be right now
If you can touch at the very very last
It's too precious to give up due to small struggles
"Because I really want to..." that's enough for the answer
(Original lyric is in Japanese, so I translated into English)
Especially I was impressed by the last line.
When I want to begin something, I always think "Is it difficult?" or "Is it possible?".
However, actually it doesn't matter at all. If I really want to do something, I can start and achieve it.
This lyric encouraged me very much because I have the task which is so difficult but I really want to achieve. I never want to forget my will to achieve my task.
Unfortunately, the lyric which I translate is not in the YouTube movie which I put above. So if you are interested, please click this link! lol

Who am I?
When I think about this question, "Who am I?", at first I cannot but thinking about music.
I really love music (both playing the instruments and listening to...as is drawn above in slides), and I think it is the biggest identity of me. But it doesn't seem to answer this question.
I was born and grown up in Kitaku, Tokyo. My family is great treasure for me, and there are also great friends around me (some of them are crazy, though!). Moreover, there is always music around me. I think these all factors made me here.
So, my answer for this question is this; I am a girl made by all factors which I have seen, heard or met.

about Writing
I like writing both in English and Japanese.
I'm not good at speaking because there is little time to think, but when I'm writing, I can think deeply about what I want to tell. I often cannot say what I want to tell, while I can write (especially in English).
I really like to write in Japanese, so I keep a blog for five years. In my blog, I write diary almost every day. It helps me to remember what I thought or did in daily life. I sometimes read my blog and reflect myself. It is very interesting work for me.

Why I decided to take this class
One of the biggest reasons is simply I want to take Mark's class again.
Last year, I took Mark's ARW class, and that class was so interesting for me. Thanks to the class, I became to like writing a little. So I wanted to learn from Mark again.
Another reason is I am interested in the theme, "YOU".
For me, academic writing which needs to be objective is difficult. On the other hand, to write about "myself" sounds more familiar. I think "who am I?" is too difficult question to answer soon, but I want to think about it. These are why I decided to take this class.
