The greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings and those of others.(わたしにとって最高の勝利は、ありのままで生きられるようになったこと、自分と他人の欠点を受け入れられるようになったことです。) ---- Audrey Hepburn

Shikouan (cat cafe) 和喫茶 紫光庵 (猫カフェ)

"Lucy the Cat" got a new friend. This is the very moment when she met the popular poster cat, "Mee-chan" at Shikouan (cat cafe) with their remarkable Japanese red umbrella on Sazae-san Street in Sakura-Shinmachi, Setagaya-ku. We can enjoy their authentic Japanese green tee as well as their Japanese sweets such as their handmade "Sakura-Zenzai" and "Calico cat Monaka" whose bean jam is the same color as Mee-chan's fur. We can get our souls and bodies healed by such an adorable menu-guide by Mee-chan. Mee-chan, thank you so much for today. Please let us visit you again.
「ねこのルーシー」に新しくお友達ができました。世田谷区桜新町のサザエさん通り、赤い和傘が目印の和喫茶店、紫光庵(猫カフェ)の人気の看板猫「みーちゃん」とご対面の瞬間です。本格的な抹茶と一緒に楽しめるのは、手作りにこだわった「桜ぜんざい」や、看板猫「みーちゃん」と同じ色の餡が詰められた「三毛猫もなか」などの和菓子。何ともかわいらしい「みーちゃん」のメニュー紹介には心も体も癒されます。みーちゃん、今日は本当にありがとうございました。また遊びにいかせてくださいね。

Police Story Legend ポリス・ストーリー/レジェンド


This film follows Jackie Chan(ジャッキー・チェン)'s character in a Die Hard scenario. A bunch of cage fighting criminals have taken hostages in a fortified building, one of them is Jackie's daughter and he must find a way to save them all by himself. This film has some great action scenes but it is not really oriented on that. It shows more of Jackie's dramatic side and he pulls of the role amazingly in this film. Unlike Jackie's earlier films which are lighter in tone, this one is much darker. To clear things up for the fans, this film is not related to the previous 5 Police Story movies, it is a separate film and should be treated as such.

X-MEN: Days of Future Past X-MEN: フューチャー&パスト


This movie finds its source in the very core of humanity's struggles, and shows that X-men's themes are still very relevant in the world today. You would thank its nostalgia and its well balanced mix between the original characters and the new ones. It is action packed and there are no irrelevant scenes while there is no break between action scenes and more emotional, story-line scenes. Along with the action and the acting, there is also the usual dose of humor found in most Marvel movies. And Hugh Jackman(ヒュー・ジャックマン)will bring a smile to your face for sure.
