"Little Brother"

Yesterday, I watched a DVD, "Otouto," which is translated to "Younger/Little Brother" in English. Tsurube, a Japanese comedian and actor, is in the movie, and he plays the "younger brother"(his role is the younger brother.) There are also some other famous actors and actresses in tha cast, but I do not remember their names. I liked the movie a lot, and it is the best Japanese movie that I have seen since I saw "The Departures (Okuribito)." Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend it.

From today, many people begin Obon Vacation, which is basically like a summer vacation. Traditionally, it is believed that ancestors return to their family's homes during this time. During this week many people decorate their homes to greet their ancestors, or visit their ancestor's graves. What are your plans over the vacation? Are you going to do anything special?

For me, it is the same as usual. As many of you know, I took a vacation last month, so this month I am not going to go anywhere.
