01JUN: Per has Joined Training

2007-06-01T12:07:00.001+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Per Mertesacker has attended the DFB's training since 31 May (at least).
Glad we can see Per in the cadre!

The training has started since 29 May but Per was absence. This photo was taken on 31th May so at least Per has joined a training session since 31. I breathed a sigh of relief... :>

So, you shouldn't miss this video presented by DFB... Per was like a puppy to follow Miro. What a cute!!

01JAN: Alles Gute für 2007!

Happy New Year 2007!

Yeah! New year 2007 has come to Japan and also to Germany. <- Is the pope Catholic?!

I hope that;
- Werder Bremen will get the Meisterschale.
- Werder Bremen will win a great victory for the UEFA CUP.
- German National Team will also win all of the game.
And then,
I do hope that Per will do fine and that this new year will be great for Per!!

...For me?
I hope... I can blog with timely... hehe.
I would like to improve my English skill, and hopefully my German skill, too.

19DEC: Per on a short Reha

2006-12-19T17:16:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Per Mertesacker, who is expected as a great player by Jogi, has been undergoing a short rehabilitation process by 23th.

Jogi gave German young players his love-call at a press conferense the other day, it means, Jogi mentioned that Per, Lahmy, Poldi and Schweini were really needed for the DFB's future. But now, Per has been to Donaustauf for a reha...

Well, when it comes to Per's schedules;
On 17th, the game against Wolfsburg in Bremen
-> pretending a Santa Claus after the game
-> the award of the "Mannschaft des Jahres", headed for Barden-Barden after the game
-> the reha, headed for Donaustauf
Oh yeah, Per had really got a lot on!

Per said in his column that Per was going to have been in Donaustauf until 23th, after that, was going to go to his parents place for holidays.

Uh, please be healthy completely and be back to the pitch with much more stronger body! ... to be able to answer Jogi's (and also my) love-call for you Per.

Per seemed to have been busy for the party with the Bremen Fan Clubs and the Christmas party with the team members and so on. Per also went to a primary school as a presenter from the DFB.
I thought it seemed the same situation all aver the world that we were busy on December.

There are pics of the Bremers' Christmas party.
... eh? hey Per, no pic of you! X(
I guess the reason might be that his girlfriend doesn't like to be shown their pic. A little bird told me so.

Talking about the party, it looks much fun.
I wish I could be there, I would be ok as a waitress....! <- me idiot

19DEC: The Draw for the 1st round of the UEFA-Cup

2006-12-19T16:08:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Bremen will play Ajax on February for the game of the UEFA-Cup.

Well... Ajax.
I wouldn't say about their current conditions, but everybody knows it's one of the prestige soccer teams.
Oh gosh, could you give Bremers a easier match?! ...at least for the first round...

Anyway, Go Bremen! Good luck, guys!

18DEC: Bundesliga 17-Spieltag

2006-12-18T13:05:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Werder Bremen is the Herbstmeister!! Congrats, Bremers!!

Hooo-hohohoho!
Laughing loud like Santa Claus, Hooo-hohohoho!
Let's laugh together, Hooo-hohohoho!
Yeah, Bremen won and becomes the Herbstmeister!

At 17min, Daniel Jensen scored, but Wolfsburg got a Tor at 41min. Finally, Naldo's goal brought the Herbstmeister to Bremen. Well, it seems Naldo's festival has continued still now. We're ok it will continue forever! LOL

Per hugged Naldo with big pleasure and I felt it so heartwarming. Their hugs are so cute even though two guys are so much tall. Maybe blind-eyes of a fan?!

Hey, Bremen becomes the Herbstmeister, so Bremen is supposed to get the Meisterschale of course! Hooo-hohohoho!

Then I'm so disappointed that we couldn't watch this special game because Japanese TV Broadcasting didn't air this.
After this game, you know,

... The advent of Special Santa Clauses! ...

Oh, no! I did wish they also came down to Tokyo City...even if just on broadcasting waves!

The picture on top on this entry, we can see Naldo and Wiese. Oh Wiese, you look like a man at a construction site... Santa's sack looks like a cement sack. <- sorry

I guess staffs might be confused about the size of the Santa's gown when they prepared them. hehe.
I think Diego looks so cute in this big gown. Naldo is also cute with his mouth like a character from the Sesame Street. Miro, when it comes to this photo, Miro looks like a shop assistant of a big electric appliance shop in Japan...orz
And Per... Per seemed to do just his job as a Santa Claus calmly...?!
I really wish I could see Per pretending a Santa Claus with my own eyes! Hey Per, you can use me as a raindeer! <- me idiot

Fun Pics;

Some official goods from Werder Bremen were in Santa's sacks and lots of supporters seemed to be handed them from players directly. Gee, I would deadly like to be presented, ...of course DIRECTLY from PER!! <- me idiot

Anyway, Congratulations, Per and Co.! I really wish you guys Merry Christmas and have wonderful holidays!! Tschuess!

24NOV: CL Bremen vs Chelsea

2006-11-24T18:12:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Bremen defeated Barcelona 1-0! And more, the Man of the Match of this game is Per Mertesacker! Wow!! You know, Per got to be in the spotlight (even though he is ususally modest)!!

Congrats Per, for your first TOR in CL! What a great heading-Tor it WAS!
Per was flying high as like as THE PHOENIX. <- eh?

When Per scored the goal, Per dashed to Frings ( ...after dashed away Almeida who was going to celebrate Per... ).
Did Per want to give Frings his Tor as Firings's birthday present, right?
# Maybe the Tor in the game against Aachen was also a birthday present for Frings from Per..?! At that time, Per dashed away Boro who was going to celebrate Per... LOL

And then, Per gave Captain Frings "smooch*".
Oh, was it a birthday-kiss?! ...I realized again that Per is a westerner when I saw it. LOL
Was it a kiss? or smack? ...That's ok whichever, anyway.., hey Firngs, could you change places with me? <- me idiot

Talking about Miro, we know he is always sort of sexy, of course in this time, too.
Mm... hey Miro, could you change places with me? <- me idiot

I have to say this again, Per was selected as the Man of the Match of this game. Oh Wooow, Per Fans all over the world must be in a gorgeous festive mood!

Bremen has the advantage over Barcelona in going to the first knockout round. I am sooo happy with this situation. GO WERDER BREMEN!!

22NOV: Per at the Conf.

2006-11-22T12:28:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

On 21st Nov, Per Mertesacker talked about the game against Chelsea in the press conference. It means, Per attended the press conference as we can see in a photo on the left.
Maybe Per was the one who was free the most in the team. <- Just joking
Perhaps Per was selected as the player who wasn't a member at the previous game against Chelsea. Yeah, Per is an unknown player for Chelsea's guys, so let them be under BIG pressure... as BIG as your height! (...but it can't be for Ballck no more?! ...orz)
Anyway, I'm sure Per and Bremer will do fine at the game.

By the way...
I'm not a confederate with amazon.de, but I would say we can see a good news.
Now we can pre-order two great DVDs!

Deutschland - Ein Sommermaerchen (2 DVD Special Edition)
WM 2006 - Die Deutschland Edition (8 DVDs)

I have already reserved them. I can't wait! :-D

15NOV: Per's New Castle

2006-11-15T15:43:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

There is an article about Per's new house on Per's official site. Oh, I wish I could go there with the web staff members! <- me idiot

There are some small pics, but we can find that; "Per lives in a sofisticated room as we expected!"
...Well, A soccer player seems to be definitely rich... even a player from Bundesliga. <- Whaaat?!
I guess this condominium might be the same class as the Roppongi-Hills Mansions in Japan.

Per got a sofa as the same type of the one which is in a hotel DFB used during the WM2006, and we usually see the same-type one in a luxury resort hotel. Per said it was a bit hard to bring it into his room because of its size... Yeah, I can imagine. Actually I hae ever sat the same-type sofa when I went to an Island in Maldives, so I know it is sooo big one! I think some of Japanese women can use it as their bed if they bend their legs a little bit, and I'm sure I can!

Now we can see Per seems to enjoy his first living by himself. That's great!

I think Per doesn't have enough time to manage about household chores because Per has to be away home for away-games or something.
So... Yes, I would gladly do all of housework for Per ANYTIME! <- me idiot!

14NOV: Starter-Paket

2006-11-14T15:23:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Per Mertesacker and two players showed up as the presenters for the DFB-Campaign "Schule und Fussball" at a hotel in Frankfult on 13th Nov. It was a campaign of "Schule und Fussball" by DFB. DFB is going to present approximately 22,000 of elementary schools with "Starter-Packet", which has ball, poster and so on.

Bierhoff said that this was their feeling of gratitude that little supporters were rooting for the national players intensely during the WM2006. But I'm wondering if it might be a promotion of Fussball among kids? or if it might be one of the carrot principle for their future DFB supporters?! ;p
Hey, I'm sure everybody who watch a game of DFB will dig German Fussball even if there is no such a promotion!

At the hotel in Frankfurt, there was a conference of the German National Team and Captain Ballack was standing in front of a bizarre Japanese "Sumi-E" like wall. I can't take my eyes off this wall. LOL.
After that, Per and Hanke and Fathi met two pretty kids to hand them "Starter-Packet".

By the way...
Hey Hanke, your arm is blocking my gaze! XD

OH! please,
I would also like have a Starter-Paket ...from Per directly! <-- me idiot

Well... Per, you stood in front of kids as an adult, so I think it would be better to put your shirts in completely or out completely. hehe. :D
# IMO, it is sort of cute.

PS
I got a news that Lehmann and Schneider and Trochowski won't be able to join the national team because of injuries... Hope you guys will get well soon!

10OCT: Per's Nature

2006-10-10T17:44:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

You already know, the film "Deutschland. Ein Sommermärchen" has been released from 5th Oct. in Germany. ...only in Germany! Gee.

In the board of Per's official website, many German girls said they couldn't see Per so many times in the film. Oh,,, I figured that actually (because Per seems to be so modest.)
And then, Per mentioned about it in his column,

"That's true life. That is my temperament."

...Oh yeah, now we can see again Per has been a cute modest boy for 22 years. <- so modest
Actually I like such his nature. :-)

09OCT: Prinz Got a Red

2006-10-09T17:08:00.000+09:00

Prinz Poldi was shown a red card during the friendly match with Georgia.
I couldn't look away from Schweini shouting passionately to object to Poldi's Red card. Here Poldi and Schweini could be... LOL

01OCT: Bundesliga 6-Spieltag

2006-10-01T18:19:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Bremen won the game against Mönchengladbach 3-0 and climbed up to 2nd at the moment. Congrats, Bremen!

Per attended the whole game. They said he hadn't been perfect for his condition yet, so I shivered with his tackles...! Phew.

Bremen got a new defender, but it seemed that combination of the defenders was going match, and English commentator shouted that the defence line was so great. (On the other hand, Japanese commentator is quiet and talking mostly about Mönchengladbach. Gee.)

IMO, I was impressed with Miro's desperate efforts to Tor(scoring) and with hugs between Diego and Frings. Oh, I should say Diego and buddies' FK was awesome!

I'm glad Bremen's colleagues seems to have got a fellow feeling for Per.
I'm also glad Per seems to have been associated with them quickly.

Anyway, I really enjoyed watching the game of 6-Spieltag.
I hope JSPORTS(Japanese sports TV) will broadcast the next match of Bremen.

30SEP: Per's Condition

2006-09-30T12:15:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

How is Per's condition at the moment?

The articles 1, 2
So... It seems that we won't be able to see Per playing with the German National Team for a while. I wonder whether Per's condition is not perfect or Yogi woutld like to try to use some other player at these probably walk-in easy-victory games... well, it is understandable that a team will be stronger if it holds many players, but I would say nobody can intercept the regular-CB position of the German National Team from Per for ten years in the future!!

When it comes to today's Bundesliga game, the articles say these, 1, 2.
We can read the attendance of Per is positive but it depends on the condition in this morning. Coach Thomas registered these players for the game against Mönchengladbach;
-- Reinke, meadow, Fritz, Wome, Naldo, Schulz, Mertesacker, Frings, Diego, Vranjes, Baumann, Klose, Hunt, Klasnic, Zidan, Pasanen, Andreasen, Jensen,

Miro has already been good for his condition? I wonder, but I hope so!

Per answered an interview that he has still continued his rehabilitation programs along with training menu with team colleagues. It means he hasn't been in a perfect condition for a game yet...

Oh myyy, as a fan of him, I want to watch him standing on a pitch, however I'm really worried about his health. Take a rest and get perfect soon, Per!

29SEP: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!!

2006-09-29T11:11:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Did you know what today is? Yeeees, Today is,
___Per's 22nd Birthday !! ___
Yeah! Happy Birthday to you, Per!!

According to his official site, Per finally found his new flat (but so far he has still been in a hotel), which is his first place living-by-himself.
Oh, it looks you become a grown-up completely* <- just joking :-)

Today is an interval day between the game of the Champions league and the one of Bundesliga so you may busy and may be a bit tired, but I hope you spend a great time with a party or something.
Have a wonderful day, Per!!

28SEP: Per's Dream Debut

2006-09-28T16:04:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Mertesacker played the game against Barcelona, it was his dream debut as an Bremer!
How nice he made his debut in such a big important game! ...Actually he already attend the test match on18th SEP, but this CL game is his first full-time playing as an Bremer, so I would like to say this game is his DREAM DEBUT! Hoooo!
The game was drawn 1:1. The details is here.

I'm a bit worried about his heel. Please keep your heel well-maintained. <- not a robot!

Anyway, I'm sooo happy he came back on a pitch!!

27SEP: Relax Stacks

2006-09-27T17:44:00.000+09:00

Per was in a training with team colleagues yesterday. They seemed to be in a good mood, relaxed so much.

Nobody knows so far whether Per is going to attend the game against Barca or not, anyway, Go Werder Bremen!!

26SEP: Barca's Players' List

2006-09-26T17:35:00.000+09:00

The game between Bremen and Barcelona of UEFA Champions League will held in the Weserstadion tomorrow.

# The Players' Lists of Barca ... click here
... Oh, there are many players I would like them to take a vacation during this game. Hehe...

# The Players' Lists of Bremen ... No Link on the Werder's website yet. Yeah, it is natural.
According to the Werder's site, Miro and Diego is positive to attend the game, but it still depends on their condition. Coach Thomas seems to be politic in his allusion.

Then, talking about Per Mertesacker, we can see his new column updated.

[Summary of Per's column] ... don't blame me if my translation might be incorrect.
The trainer told me it would be better for me not to attend the game against Hamburger because I was not enough good condition on Friday. That's why I didn't play on Saturday. But I played at the test match and had been playing on the pitch for 58 minutes last week. I really enjoyed playing on the new pitch for me and playing with my new wear, and I hope it will be my daily things soon.
I just feel I am better and better now enough to join the game on Wednesday. The game on Wednesday is very important to get 3 points.

...well, it could be...
Maybe it will depend on Per's condition and Thomas's command whether Per will play or not.

The game between Bremen and Hamburger was drawn 1-1.

Well, It was better than "lost"...
Eh, Per was at the bench in obscurity during this game.
Oh, Diego! He received a rough attack and had to leave the pitch!
I do hope Diego isn't injured. I don't want to see a headline as "Bremen, mass-producing many injured players"... :-(

20SEP: 58 mins

2006-09-20T12:10:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Mertesacker attended the test match and had been playing on the pitch for 58 minutes. That seemed to be a test for the game against Hamburger SV this weekend.

# The articles; 1, 2, 3

Bremen won the match 9-0. Yeah, that was just a test match, hehe.
Naldo, who is Per's new partner as CBs, scored 3 goals. They say that a strong team needs to have several players who are good at scoring with a header in the air. Hey, when it comes to an aerial combat, you can count on this new CB-duo, Per and Naldo!

According to these articles, Per has still felt a bit pain in his heel actually. That was the reason Per didn't play full time.
Uh... my heels are well-trained up every day in a bloody crowded commuter railway in Tokyo, and these are solid to no purpose.
... I wish I could replace my heal with his one. <- me idiot!

Per will probably attend the game against Hamburger SV this weekend. Go Per! ... and please take care of your heel not to aggravate.
I also hope Miro and other injured Bremeners will get well soon.

19SEP: No Racism

2006-09-19T17:05:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Mertesacker and Hannover96 players appeared in a video to speak to us "No Racism".

Saddly, some troubles has occured in German football world. I can't understand why some people do such a rude behavior...

Racism... That is definitely disgusting and deplorable.
I wouldn't say a lot here, but I feel pity for racists. I think such people must be ignoramuses. They might have never seen things and might have never been to somewhere out of their hometown. We should get to know other people, cultures and world. We should respect each other.

By the way, a video for No-Racism was released in Germany in March and had been screened until the WM2006 ended. The City Hannover made this film, so 4 players who related with Hannover 96 appeared on it.
I can gladly agree with such a way of using city tax.. :-)

This video has been uploaded on YouTube recently. Thank you! Danke!

Ohhh, Per gazes at me through the monitor of my PC! <- me idiot!
I think It is rare for Per to keep his eyes front in a conference or an interview, so it must be a remarkable video. Absolutely yes!

I hope these four guys' messages will reach everybody on the earth.

Bremen lost the game against Stuttgart 2-3. So the current rank slipped to 9th place... orz

I've heard that Diego would be able to play freely as he likes, because...

One day, the teammates of Bremen said, "Diego didn't do defensive part. That's not fair!"
Then, Coach Thomas said back to them, "That's ok! Diego can be aggressive anytime!"
# In Japan, we have an idiom for such a situation; "Just one scream of a crane"

IMO, I look forward to some good impression on Bremen from Diego's fantastic Brazilian techniques.
No worries, Diego! Leave all the defensive part to Per after Per comes back on a pitch, so you will be able to move more and more aggressive and attacking as you like. ;-D
Go Diego!

17SEP: Munch, Munch, Munch...

2006-09-18T04:29:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Several hours before the match of Werder Bremen and VfB Stuttgart, we had a TV program "Budesliga Preview" in Japan. During this program, I had already opened a champagne bottle to celebrate Per's debut. I've got drunk and fell asleep on a sofa, but I waked up just before the kick-off. God gave me a wake-up call.

"Yeah, the game is starting!" I had gazed at the TV all the time of the game, but...
N e i i i n ! ! !
Bremen lost this home game and was relegated to 7th place. And, Miro wasn't a member of the game because he had bad leg. Oh, I got complicated feelings... I'm happy with Per's debut, but I'm not happy with Miro's injury and Bremen's loss.

Per Mertesaker was on the pitch during halftime. Well, Per was warming up with his teammate. Per jogged eating something. TV camera had caught him for a while.

Munch, Munch, Munch, Munch, Munch,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
Munch, Munch, Munch, Munch, Munch,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,

Per gave us such an excellent funny-man routine, but Japanese TV Commentators ignored him completely and talked about only the Thomas's shirt. Hey, who cares? I think it is ok Thomas's orange shirt. The logo "COACH" seems cute on the orange!
Why don't you comment about Per, Japanese TV Commentators?! eh?!

Anyway, I am worried about Miro and Per. They can be at the next match? They can be at the match of the Champions League on 27th? I hope they will be there with their good conditions.

We can see Per wearing Bremen's dress at the match against VfB Stuttgart at 16 Sep.

If Per will be caught by TV camera during the game, we will probably be able to see him even in Japan. Per might be only in a bench, it depends on his condition. However, that's ok for me, who cares?! It is an evidence that Per has been getting better after his rehabilitation processes.

Anyway, it will be the debut-game of Per. I'm sooo happy with the news!

Bremen lost the game against Chelsea 0-2.

Neiiin!! I had expected a little that Bremen might defeat Chelsea even though they said Chelsea would surely win. But Bremen seemed to have been making strenuous efforts in this game.

Some media said Chelsea was in bad condition at that time, but I think "The condition at the very moment of the team is the ability of the team at that time" whichever a team looks like better or worse than they usually are.

Oh, I was glad that Miro was on the pitch despite the rumor of his absence!

Well, however, I felt sorrow that Germany's Kapitän(captain) Ballack finished Bremen off with his PK goal. Neiiin(Nooo)... orz

We could see all DFB members use this one during the WM2006, so it was probably one of the official stuff for German National Team.

And, this black suit by Strenesse looks cool on DFB buddies. Three little stars of German color(black, red, gold) are put on the breast pocket. It is also cool.

Quality is good, but color is... orz

Miro kindly helped Gattuso getting a cramp in his leg during the game.
So sweeeet!

German's fair play always make me feel happy.
I know "Malicia" is nessecitiy for them to win, especially at a world-class match, but I love just the upright way German footballers are.

06JUL: Miro is so cool !

His clear-cut appearance is COOL.
His straight way of talking is COOL.
But sometimes he exploded his feeling during a game. It is also COOL.
He is really down to earth even though he is the top goal-scoring player of Bundesliga05/06. It is absolutely COOL.

At the game with Sweden of WM2006, He somersaulted on the pitch because he was happy with Poldi's goal.
He seemed not to aim for the golden shoe at all.

Miro is bloody COOL!!

06JUL: a beautiful Sunday for a son and his dad?!

It seems like a song "Green Green".
What a heartwarming picture!

06JUL: at the third place match, I hope...

I would like to see this cute face again at the third place match.
Hooo!

06JUL: Oh, dear...

At the semi-final of the WM2006, Per Mertesacker, who is mild, gentle and loves chocolate, was eager to go to the final. Per did his best changing his face like an aggressive Teuton. But Germany lost the game... So he was shocked beyond words...

Klinsi hugged and whispered to him, but it seemed Per couldn't hear Klinsi's voice. Per stayed down for a while and many teammates came and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

Oh, dear, Per...! I can imagine how you felt at that time.
I wish I cheered Per up as Klinsi and Schweini did! <- me idiot

I'm sure we will see you at the WM 2010 in Africa. Go Per!

05JUL: Lahm, standing out!

2006-08-29T18:56:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

Cute Little Lahmy. :-D
Maybe... Probably, he is a mascot for the German team.

He usually asked by an interviewer about his small body, but he always laughed away it and said it wasn't a big matter for him.
He has practiced a lot, so He has a lot of skills.

Japanese footballers should model themselves on Lahmy!
(They always say their poor performances result from the physical potential. Yuck!)

05JUL: Viva! King Klinsi

2006-08-29T18:52:00.000+09:00

[ see my JP blog related this post ]

I hope Klinsi will be a coach of Deutscher National Team next 4 years.
You know, Kizer Beckenbauer finally admitted Klinsi he was a great coach.

Hey Klinsi, your performances are fantastic!!

05JUL: North Korea launched 6 missiles toward Japan, Italy launched 2 goal at Germany

Oh, Nooooo!!
My team "Germany" lost the game and couldn't go to the final of the WM 2006.
So... I'll open a FIFA official champagne at the game of 3rd place match.
(Of course, initially I was going to open it at the final.)

Per, Miro, Lahmy and Deutscher Nationalmannschaft,
you guys showed me such a fantastic dream. Thank you!

Actually we got a terrible news during this much.
I enjoyed the live broadcast on TV at that time. Suddenly the picture area shrank to around 80%, and we saw the text news in the rest 20% area.

" North Korea launched a missiles toward us. Taepodong, Taepodong, Taepodong..."

...Streaming the texts for a while, until the extra time.

Geee, my German guys got shrunk to 80%! How could it beeee?!
( me non-nationalist?! hehe.)

I live in Tokyo, so I was gazing at the game Germany vs Italy as I guessed I might die if Taepodong would hit our capital.

I'm going to blog in English

2006-08-28T18:12:00.000+09:00

Today, I decided to get started this blog.

Actually I have already had my Japanese blog about Per and DFB.
One day, I noticed my Japanese blog was googled. Google has a function for translation, and I translated my blog from Japanese to English with it.

...Nooooo!

I know it is difficult to translate languages perfectly with a software, but the sentences were sooo messy than I expected. I think my English is better than a computer's Japanese!

It isn't so easy for me to make a lot of sentences in English, but I am worried if someone might misunderstand what I would like to say by wrong auto-translated sentences.

That's why I'm getting started this blog. I'm going to blog the articles almost the same as the one in my Japanese blog.
