Feedback on Seven Sumurai

I watched Seven Sumrai . It's an excellent film that has many dramas. I want to say thank to the guy who recommended it and sent the DVD to me by Amazon. I like the scene that Katsushiro meets to Shino for the first time and Kanbei finally accepted farmer's offer once he rejected and he goes 'I won't waste your food. ' 「この飯、おろそかには食わんぞ。」 which line became popular at the time after the movie came out. I also like when Katsushiro says to Kyuzo , ' I think you are a great person, I've wanted to tell you that.' Actually Kyuzo is top favorite character in some survey. My favorite is Katsushiro . I like Kikuchiyo fundoshi (G-string) look, he's really sexy person in that movie. I knew him only late in his life. I wondered why one farmer's wife who was taken by Nobushi was so beautiful. She looked noble person and seemed to have some important story but died within a minute. It's classic, but worth watching!

Seven Sumrai

I got a box from Amazon today, which I didn't order. As soon as I opened the box, I burst out laughing. There were three DVDs including 'Seven Samurai'. There is only my name on the invoice though, I know who sent this. This guy asked me if I had ever watched that movie by a text message about a week ago. He's in the US. I was thinking that Kurosawa movie was too typical and classic so I didn't want to watch it by myself. Although He strongly recommended me to see that movie, I had no care for it. I go ' I'm afraid that I'm easy to fall asleep with that kind of movie". He goes ' You should drink coffee!'. Like that. How many Japanese people of my generation have ever watched that movie? But now I need to focus on this old movie as long as he made an order to Amazon Japan from the US. I'll post a comment for this movie later! Anyway, it was soooo funny to receive this. Isn't he unique? or is the movie that good?

Lunch @ Jiyugaoka

I went out for Saturday lunch in Jiyugaoka which is one of fancy places in Tokyo. My friend is so resourceful when it comes to eating so I just follow her whenever we meet up. Lobros: http://www.lobros.co.jp/lobros/ We went to Lobros for lunch and I had a french toast with blue berry & cream cheese plate. By the way , the note which placed out side of the door was a little funny, so I took that picture, as well. 'No buggies more than three.' We saw many small kids with their mothers in this restaurant. It's a little different scene from the central Tokyo such as Omotesando or Yurakucho. This is more residential district but for a very rich family! Then we were heading to a cake shop named 'Mont St Clair' which is often seen in TV, according to my friend, and we bought some peace of cakes. We couldn't get seats there because of a white day. It is an event relates Valentin's day in Japan. Women give chocolates to men on Valentin's day and men give som
