You wanna Rock?

Summer is coming! By the way, do you love SUMMER and MUSIC, and wanna enjoy summer vacation? If you really so, I recommend that you go to music festival!! In this season, lots of them are held all over the world. Warped Tour, T in the Park, Roskilde Festival, Intonation Festival, Ozzfest, Lollapalooza, Reading Festival Leeds Festival and so on!


And!!! In Japan, maybe you know, there are Fuji Rock Festival, Summer Sonic, Rock in Japan Festival and Udo Music Fest…There are more! Today, I want to talk about Summer Sonic because the place is near KUIS so you can go easily! The fest is for people who like foreign music mainly because many foreign artists come to Japan for it. So is Fuji Rock fest. This year, Metallica, Linkin Park, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank, Taking Back Sunday, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, Arctic Monkeys are going to come…I can’t write all here! Any way, very gorgeous artists come and gig in Japan. I’m sure your vacation will be the hottest if you go to Summer Sonic! Don’t hesitate! Let’s go!!!

Of course I’m going to Summer Sonic…

Do you know “ELLEGARDEN”??

Have you ever heard about a band “ELLEGARDEN”? I love their songs and go to their live concert. Then, I’ll tell you little more about them. One of the members Takeshi Hosomi who sing and plays the guitar is the alumnus of KUIS. His pronunciation is really nice and I’m very proud of that and respect him.

December 1998, ELLEGARDEN was formed in Chiba. Their lyrics are both in Japanese and English, but English songs are in the majority. They had released 11 CDs and 3DVDs so far and going to release new single and DVD on August 9.


I think their songs are kind of rock, punk and emotional.
My favorite songs of ELLEGARDEN are...

1.Jitterbug(Japanese)
2.Starfish(Japanese)
3.Day of Wind(Japanese)
4.Marry Me(English)
5.The Autumn Song(English)
6.Space Sonic(English)

If you've never listened to their songs, I recommend you to listen to these
songs above.

Lastly, I often wear ELLEGARDEN’s T-shirt, so please talk to me whoever
likes ELLEGARDEN!!
