Season's Limited／季節限定

在新天地無意間發現，詩特莉的櫥櫃裡有這個東西耶～

幾種長賣暢銷口味的餅干，都出了季節限定的草莓口味哦～

一打開包裝就有草莓香撲鼻而來，有些甚至還吃得到果肉呢！

嗯～好吃、好吃、真好吃~~~~~ ^^Y

Accidentally found AUNT STELLA'S new products @ Mitsukoshi. They gave their top sellers a new look, season's limited strawberry flavor~

The strawberry smell filled the nose immediately when the pack was opened, and it even contained some dried flesh!

Hmm.... yum-yum. So yummy~~~~~ ^^Y

這.....

前兩天聽到的一個小插曲.....

朋友的朋友生日剛好遇上這次總統大選投票日，相約盡完國民義務後一起喝下午茶慶生。

一行四、五個大女生中，幾乎全數嚮往藍天，唯獨泰咪的朋友堅持擁抱綠地。

挑來挑去，最後決定的聚會地點選在台南市頗有名氣的咖啡館─「深藍」.....

哇咧～不管是有心或無意，這也太殘忍了啦~~~~~ XD
呼～

JERO, the Culture Barrier Breaker!／打破文化藩籬的JERO!

近幾年，除了冰川清志 (氷川きよし)之外，應該少有日本演歌歌手能掀起全民瘋狂了。然而，自二月開始，日本歌壇再度颳起一陣演歌旋風！

In the recent years, there's probably no other Japanese Enka singers can be the hit among all kinds of audiences except for Kiyoshi Hikawa. However, things changed since February this year. JP's music industry's having a new phenomenon!


到底是何等人物，能以一介新人之姿、唱的又是演歌，首張出道單曲便登上ORICON排行榜第5名？！

Who is this totally new guy that sings the old-fashioned Enka, and climb up to the ORICON top 5 on his debut single?!

奇跡の演歌歌手「ジェロ」
The amazing Enka singer「JERO」

什麼?! 一個黑人唱演歌?!?! 是的，你沒看錯。JERO，來自美國匹茲堡的黑人，如願以償來到日本，成為一名演歌歌手。

What? An African American?! Performs Japanese Enka?!?! Yes, you're right. JERO, who came from Pittsburgh, PA, USA, has finally made his dream come true, to be an Enka singer.


JERO 的祖母為日本人，二次大戰時嫁給美國大兵。因為這層關係，JERO 自幼便喜愛日文，更時常唱演歌討祖母歡心。2003年 JERO 遠渡重洋到日本，征戰各地參加歌唱比賽，立志成為演歌歌手。終於唱片公司發掘了他，密秘培訓兩年，上個月以單曲『海雪』正式出道，果然馬上成為話題！

JERO's grandmother is a Japanese, married to the US soldier during WWII. Because of this reason, JERO likes Japanese language since he was little, and started to sing Enka to pleased his grandmother. He went to Japan in 2003, and took many Karaoke contests all over in Japan, just hope to make his wish can be accomplished someday, to be an Enka singer. Fortunately, the music studio finally discovered him, and gave him 2 years of vocal training. JERO made his debut in February, and the first single『Umiyuki』(Marine Snow) was soon became a smash hit!

一個做嘻哈裝扮、跳著街舞的黑人，但嘴裡唱出的卻是再傳統不過的日本演歌，實在非常有趣啊～泰咪每次看到都會忍不住笑出來哩！看過影片畫面之前，絕對不曉得這比日本人還日本人的歌聲，是出自一個美國黑人！不過，唱片公司應該也考慮到了JERO有別於平常演歌歌手的特殊背景，特地把編曲改得和一般演歌不太一樣呢！

It's quite interesting to see a black man who wearing and dancing hip-hop, but singing the real traditional Japanese Enka. Every time Tammy watches it and can't help laughing! You wouldn't believe this Japanese song which sounds more real than the truly Japanese, is performed by an African American! However, the studio may have already considered that JERO's special background, the transcription of his song is a little different from other regular Enka songs!


誰說特定音樂就只屬於特定民族或膚色？JERO 證明了沒有牢不可破的文化藩籬!!! 加油啊～JERO!!

Who says that certain style of music can only be performed by the certain race or color of people? JERO proves that no any culture barrier can't be torn down!! JERO, YOU ROCK!!!
