Recordings
My favorite sound recording of 2009 was a Japanese single:
[空～ 美しい我の空 by 剛紫]` [SORA~ UTSUKUSHII WARE NO SORA by TSUYOSHI]. 4.10.2009
First heard the recording from:
the radio show of my one of my favorite artist, KinKi Kids which form by Domoto Koichi and Domoto Tsuyoshi.
This is the solo work of Domoto Tsuyoshi. I bought the CD Ver. of the single. After that, I changed the format into MP3 which I can listen it by using my iPhone.
4.10.2009 was Tsuyoshi’s 30th birthday and he also released his solo album in the same day. He started his new solo project this year. He changed his name every time if he starts a new project [堂本剛→ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI→244 ENDLI-x→剛 紫].
For this single and the album, all the songs and music were written by himself, most of the musical instruments were played by himself in the CDs. Besides, Tougi Hideki who played the Japanese classical music which called Gagaku, he helped Tsuyoshi to play the musical instrument of Gagaku for the song. This song is so touching; I really love the lyrics and the melody. It is about the beautiful sky from his home-NARA in Japan. The above video was filmed in NARA which is a beautiful place in Japan.(: Domoto Tsuyoshi is one of my favourite artists. He can always write beautiful and touching music pieces. For his other solo project - ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI, I really love the FUNK style so much.<3
This is the Live Ver. of the song :D

Books
Many books have influenced me as I love reading different kinds of books. It is hard for me to choose the best three books which had the most influence on me.
1)The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes
2)The Milligan Wars by Daniel Keyes
I am currently reading The Milligan Wars now after reading The Minds of Billy Milligan this summer. However, I haven’t finished reading “The Milligan Wars”, I cannot give any comment on this book.
Billy Milligan, who was the first person diagnosed with multiple personality disorder to raise such a defense. After having committed several felonies, psychologists diagnosed Milligan with personality disorder. “The Minds of Billy Milligan” is a book about the 24 personalities in Milligan and why he was arrested, “The Milligan Wars” is a book about how Milligan fight for his right and how he was being treated in the hospital.
I was shocked after finished reading this book because I cannot imagine how Milligan’s life was in his childhood. This is a real case in U.S.A. These two books remind me that in this society, there are different kinds of people we should give help. We should not label them. Everyone is equal in this society.

3)An Introduction to English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation
As I want to be a translator in the future, I have read different books about the translation skills between English-Chinese/ Chinese-English/ Japanese-Chinese/ Chinese-Japanese.
It is the first book I read about the basic knowledge of translation between Eng-Chin. Also, there is a book for Jap-Chin translation, but I left my book in Hong Kong and I forgot the exact name of the book.
Although I have read different books about translation, these two books cover a lot of basic skills that how to translate words in better ways. They can help me how to start. Therefore, they had the most influence on me. I know that it is still a long way for me to be a professional translator, but I will try my best to fight for my dream.

Media Impact
I would like to propose a media research project based on” How violence TV shows affect teenagers”. I will divide a large group of teenagers into two groups. Then, I will let them watch 2 different videos, one is a video from a violence drama and the other one is about a video from National Geographic Channel. I predict that the group of teenagers which watch the violence video will become much more aggressive than the group who watch the clip from NGC. It may show that different types of TV shows may affect the behavior of the teenagers. The method I used for researching is laboratory experiment.
