This is the final day of my work this year. It was a very dramatic year and passed so quickly.
At last I've been able to feel very comfortable in Osaka. I totally like this town. There are a lot of very tasty food which is so cheap! Yum Yum... Of course there are a lot of very nice restaurants in Tokyo too, but if you wanna experience the same kinda things with Osaka, you gotta pay much more money than here.

By the way, I found such a very nice meaningless website called "Wii Kitten". Yeah, it's cute. But I need more explanation to understand why should those kittens had to be with the Wii controller. lol
Usually, in my job, I'm making some websites these are only for clients. So we have to concentrate deeply for making the concepts for every creativity. The cost for making those websites is paid by clients. And you know the cost is not small, so we have to be very serious to think about the concepts. (Of course there are many other reasons to be serious for my job, though.)
Well, what I wanna say is, I envy creators of that kinda websites which is so free, so fun and... very popular! lol
Boys be ambitious! Keep it real! Be free! Respect!

This is the view from my old apartment which is in Koishikawa, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. Very close to the Tokyo Dome Stadium. Whatever.

This has just dropped portable game player named "Suda Professional Cursor". Very vintage coloring and unbelievably simple cross buttons only it has.

Please watch out for cars when you're dancing on the street. Promise.

Please watch out for other teachers when you're dancing around a destroyed principal statue. Seriously.

I have just finished designing a new year greeting card for my friend (she used to be my boss).
Actually, this opportunity made me realize that I really love to be able to draw illustrations again. I was only drawing for my whole childhood.
When I was a student in elementary and junior-high school, I had been studying waterpainting and oilpainting in an art studio. Of course I didn't have a Macintosh or anything like that, so I had no other choices besides analogue art, at that time. Recently, I've started to want to learn those kinda analogical things again.
I think I've clicked too enough already... (But still I made those illustrations by the Adobe Illustrator though. lol)

I really enjoyed last night! First, I went to the "Bonenkai (Year-end party)" with everyone in my division. Actually it was so so this time, but I could eat and drink a lot so... okay. Whatever.
Then, my elder brought us for a drink after that. I was unbelievably drinking and drinking a lot there. I can't remember the details of the place so much, but I think I never have had that kinda experience in my life. lol
After then, my friends and I went to another friends' party in Shinsaibashi.
My buddy a rapper called "Balloon" is a very very interesting young guy, he used to be a Sumo wrestler, but he didn't wanna give up his dream to become a rapper. So he stopped Sumo and came to Osaka for his dream. You know he is really really really big and fat, and setting his hair in a spiky mohawk. He looks so naughty and dangerous, but is very pure and kind at heart though.
And, I met the most famous graffiti writer in Japan again in the party. He came back from a overseas-writing tour just recently and is also a Drum and Bass Dj too. He played last night, it was nice yo!
After, I came back to my place in morning. I had had an totally enjoyable time but I have got a fxxkin' heavy hangover now!! Shiiiiiit!!

Oh my dayz this is a really funny skratching Dj named Mysterio who is even a professional magicia. He's like a kid, of course it's a good meaning yo. Dj Yasa recomended him to us at the last class. Fxxking funny, isn't it?

And this is a REAL dope video by Soulwax a.k.a. 2 Many Djs. The title is "e-taking". Too fxxking crazy but I love it. Dopey dopey Yo! lol

And the last one, is super funny too. I love this nerdy rapper. He is actually not bad at rapping, isn't he?

F = Forward
B = Backward
Pink line = Cutting

I went to the second lesson of the skratching skool yesterday. I learned the Orbit and the Flare mainly. The Orbit is still so difficult for me! Yasa said, I should use my wrist for making the cutting sound, and use my finger for only clicking during the cutting. Yeah, this is very very hard to explain, but I finally could understand what the Orbit is. If I use my finger for clicking same as the Flare, I never can make the Orbit very fast.
Well, I made the diagram. Yasa said there are almost 3 different patterns of the Orbit. The 1st one is the easiest. The 3rd is the faster version of the 2nd, or it is the tail-cut version of the 1st.
The 2nd one looks easier than 1st, but so difficult... Like the very slow Flare!

I know my english is fxxked up but gonna try to write my diary by that. This is just like practicing English. Don't give a fxxk about mistakes, alright?
Well, I don't have nothing fun to write recently though.
Just one thang, I've just started going to the "skratching skool" (not "scratching school") from last Monday.
You know my teacher is "Dj Yasa" who got the second place for biggest world skratching championships called DMC this year yo! Check this out!
His skratching is fxxking awesome. Super fast, correctly, and soulful. I'm soooo happy about the opportunity to have lessons by such a greatest Dj in here Osaka.
He said my skratching is not bad, but even I have a lot of heavy habits. I gotta fix these habits first then gotta make basic skills more correct. For example Orbit, Transform skratching, and also Crab and so on.
Actually I've done skratching for almost more than seven years, but I've never got lessons by someone like this. It's so fun! I didn't know that...
