Ehon Therapist Association 絵本セラピスト協会

A seminar was held at Ehon (Picture book) Therapist Association today, and I had a honor of listening to Mr. Tatsunobu Okada, A.K.A. Tacchan's business strategies targeting communities, and enjoyed sharing a productive time with his ehon therapists appreciating this nice opportunity. If you would also like to know "How can we put some smiles on people's faces using picture books?", why don't you join one of their seminars? Tacchan's book "Picture books are prescriptions for our spirits " is also available. Also looking forward to collaborating with the Ehon therapists through the picture books with my translation.
本日、絵本セラピスト協会のセミナールームへお邪魔させていただきました。たっちゃんこと、岡田達信先生のコミュニティー的ビジネス論を拝聴しつつ、絵本セラピストの方々と楽しく有意義なお時間をシェアさせていただき、良縁に感謝申し上げます。「絵本を通してどうすれば目の前の人を笑顔にできるか?」とお考えの方々いらっしゃいましたら、1度ご一緒されてみてはいかがでしょう。先生の著書、「絵本はこころの処方箋」も発売中です。絵本セラピストの方々とは、私の翻訳絵本も絡めそうで楽しみです。

Into the Woods イントゥ・ザ・ウッズ


A unique and intriguing film (musical). The songs are quite good and lyrical. The special effect and make-up, hair styling were all great and made it an immersing musical experience. Speaking of the cast, Meryl Streep(メリル・ストリープ)was awesome as usual, Emily Blunt(エミリー・ブラント)and James Cordon(ジェームズ・コーデン)put up an honest act and Anna Kendrick(アナ・ケンドリック)was good as Cinderella though some might feel Johnny Depp(ジョニー・デップ)didn't shine much in a tiny role as the wolf.

For those who are planning on exhibiting your works at Bologna Children's Book Fair ボローニャ絵本見本市/出展検討

An orientation was held for those who are thinking of "selling their own works to foreign countries not just showing them off" at Bologna Children's Book Fair with their noble intentions today. We enjoyed some of the founder members' gems which were already successful in other countries and appreciate their fine worlds. If you have a gift for illustrations or children's books, why don't you try demonstrating your abilities? May smiles and children's books prevail around Japan Booth at 2016 Bologna Children's Book Fair.
絵本の聖地、ボローニャ国際絵本見本市に出展し、自らの作品を海外に「見せるのではなく売り込む」ことを実践されよう」という、高尚なお志のお仲間が集われる説明会へ、本日お邪魔させていただきました。すでに海外でのビジネスチャンスを実現された初代メンバーさまの作品の数々を拝みつつ、ステキな世界を垣間見させていただき感謝申し上げます。絵本やイラストの才能がおありな方々、挑戦されてみてはいかがでしょうか。2016年のボローニャ絵本見本市の日本ブースに笑顔と絵本の輪が広がりますように。

American Sniper アメリカン・スナイパー


Clint Eastwood(クリント・イーストウッド)was a perfect choice for this film and did an incredible job telling Chris Kyle's life and his service in the Navy as a SEAL sniper who killed nearly 200 enemy soldiers. The film is relentlessly violent and disturbing but honors the life of the late Kyle in a very admirable way. It doesn't show this man as an invincible legend, it shows him as a mere man with a heart and soul that are clearly broken due to his sacrifice for his country. Bradley Cooper(ブラッドリー・クーパー)delivers the best performance of his career as Kyle, and Clint Eastwood proves that he can still deliver a phenomenal film even in his mid-eighties.

Toy Story of Terror! トイ・ストーリー・オブ・テラー!


In this adventure, the toys find themselves in their own little horror movie. As Bonnie and her mum are on a trip they find themselves stopping at a motel and soon the toys start to disappear one by one. An impressive aspect about this special is that a handful of actors such as Tom Hanks(トム・ハンスク), Tim Allen(ティム・アレン), Wallace Shawn(ウォーレス・ショーン)and Don Rickles(ドン・リックスズ)are reprising the roles that they made famous with the previous films in the "Toy Story" franchise. Hanks is back as Woody, Allen returns as Buzz Lightyear, and so on.

at my alma mater 母校にて

The latest issue of "Lucy the Cat" series and "Ode to Rastus" etc, I translated, have become available for borrowing at my alma mater. Normally, books can be borrowed for 1 month in term time. Hope our alumnae, especially the ones who are in the middle of child raising, will enjoy those books reading aloud with children. I have been so glad and honored to meet such wonderful alumnae since I joined their Career Juku (old girls' association) last month. I will greatly appreciate all of your further guidance and support.
翻訳いたしました「ねこのルーシー」シリーズの最新刊や「ラスタスへのオード」他が、母校でも貸し出し可能となりました。通常、本の貸し出し期間は1カ月です。とくに子育て中のOGの方々など、読み聞かせなどでお楽しみいただければ光栄です。先月のキャリア塾へ参加させていただいたおかげで、ステキなOGのお知り合いを増やせまして幸甚です。今後とも、皆さまのご指導、ご鞭撻のほど、どうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。

How to Train Your Dragon 2 ヒックとドラゴン2


The world of "How to Train Your Dragon" has been vastly expanded and explored. It is much more of an adventure film. The film has taken everything from the original "HTTYD" to the next level, emotion, intensity, action, adventure, humor, and depth. While still colorful, playful and visually all over the place, the tone of the sequel is noticeably darker and the predominant themes are more mature. The writers made some unusually daring decisions in having Hiccup face very tough realities in life.
