有梦最美,希望相随...



日本有一个童话故事.....
有两个小孩到海边去玩,玩累了,两人就躺在沙滩上睡着了,其中一个小孩做了个梦,梦见对面岛上住了个大富翁,在富翁的花园有一整片的茶花,在一株白茶花的根下,埋着一罈黃金....

这个小孩就把梦告诉另一个小孩,说完后,不禁叹息着:真可惜,这只是个梦!另一个小孩听了相当动容,从此在心中埋下了逐梦的种子,就说:你可以把这个梦想卖给我吗?

这个小孩买了梦之后,就往那座岛出发,千辛万苦才到达岛上,果然发现岛上住了一位富翁,於是他就自告奋勇的做了富翁的傭人。他发现,花园里真的有许多茶树,茶花一年一年的开,他也一年一年的把种茶花的土一遍一遍的翻掘。就这样,茶树愈长愈好,富翁也就对他也就对他愈来愈好;终於有一天,他由白茶花的根底挖下去,真的掘出了一谭黄金!

买梦的人回到了家乡,成了最富有的人;卖梦的人,虽然不停的在做梦,但他从未圆过梦,终究还是个穷光蛋......
梦虽然遥不可及,但只要坚持,一样会有实现的一天.......

『人因梦想而伟大』,没有梦想的人生,也是最枯燥乏味的人生!!

第59回NHK红白歌唱大赛收视率重返40%


NHK红白歌唱大赛终於扳回颜面,平均收视率突破40%大关!去年12月31日所播出第59回NHK红白歌唱大赛,收视数字在2日出炉,关东地区上半部为35.7%、下半部则达到42.1%,比前年上升2.2%及2.1%,这是继2005年之後,睽违三年红白收视率终於重返40%大关!


「第59回NHK红白歌唱大赛」於上月31日在东京涉谷的NHK的会厅举行。红组的队伍庞大,登场的女歌手很多,已经连续7年参加红白的和田秋子演唱了由米米CLUB的石井龙也作词作曲的《梦》。最后,至今为止NHK红白歌唱比赛,红组28胜,白组31胜。

幸田来末性感秀S身材
制作单位绞尽脑汁让整体节目变的紧凑,而开演前的滨崎步右手受伤事件也成为注目焦点,比起前一年大炒中居正广和幸田来未绯闻的宣传手法,以多个感人桥段收复部份流失的观众群,也让关东、关西两个地区的下半场收视率冲破40%,新潟的47.5%和45.3%更位居日本全国之冠,由於红白将在今年年底举办第60回,这样的成绩无疑是替制作单位注入一剂强心针。


本届红白左打感人、右打搞笑牌,邀请大师久石让率领交响乐团演奏宫崎骏多部经典作品配乐,「崖上的波妞」大合唱也掀起上半场一阵欢乐高潮,而爸爸歌手木山裕策以及黑人演歌歌手JERO杰罗登场时,所打的亲情攻势也是令观众动容,睽违8年再度站上红白舞台的SPEED,成员ERIKO在个人演唱时以手语对失聪的儿子比出「我爱你」也是充满亲子温馨,另外首度登场的天团Mr.Childrn更提升下半场的感人度。

2008年火热的多组搞笑艺人如:HARUNA爱、须男爵、渡边钟等人也都巧妙现身制造笑点,而「羞耻心」率领富士电视台招牌猜迷节目多位班底在舞台上的疯狂闹场,该节目女助理主持人还秀出该台标志,让中居正广忍不住到台上边赶人边笑说:「够了吧!回去回去!」,红白制作单位成功运用搞笑牌替节目增添不少喜感。

I like to watched CG(computer graphics) movie as the graphic is fill with explosive scenes and impressive effect so 《The Warlords/投名狀》,《Assembly/集結號》 definitely caught my eyes. As for 《Cape No.7/海角七號》, this movie has become so popular in Taiwan that on November 1, 2008 it became the 2nd top grossing film in the island's cinematic history, behind Titanic.

  • 《投名狀》、《海角七號》、《集結號》分別以12、9、6項提名成為入圍最大贏家,而且也是罕見港、台、中三地對決的場面。
  • 年度台灣傑出電影工作者獎項分面,原入圍者分別為魏德聖、李龍禹、金城武,但由於金城武在出生後從未入過中華民國國籍,電影公司為其報名時並未察覺,經金馬獎委員會審查後確定撤銷入圍資格[1][2]。
  • 《海角七號》總共拿下6項獎項,是本屆金馬獎的贏家,但主要獎項部分則由《投名狀》奪得最佳劇情片與最佳導演獎。

Google your home with Street View Japan

I found this interesting so decided to post about it. A survey from JR Tokai Express Research Inc and reported on by japan.internet.com looking into issues surrounding Google Maps Street View.

On the 20th of August 2008 332 members of the JR Tokai Express Research online monitor panel employed in either the public or private sectors completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 83.7% of the sample were Male, 6.3% in their 20s, 35.8% in their 30s, 45.2% in their 40s, and 12.7% in their 50s.

Q1SQ1: When did you start using Google Maps Street View? (Sample size=207)

Can use those emoticons for yourself too in your email or messenger applications to liven up your chat a little!
