EXPLORE A WESTERN MUSIC GROUP OR ARTIST

Led Zeppelin was an English rock band. They sometimes called “Zep” or “Led Zep”. They started in London in 1968 and broke up in 1980. In 1969 they release 1st album in the US, not in the UK, their home country. "The band have hit and sold over 200 million albums worldwide." They are famous for heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound in heavy metal and hard rock music.  Led Zeppelin preferred to develop the concept of “album-oriented rock”, so they didn't release songs from their albums as single in the UK. Led Zeppelin ended in 1980 after the accidental death of John Bonham, drummer. The band is said that they are “one of the most influential rock bands of all time and one of the most successful music artists in history”.

About music

Technology review

I‘ll write about music player “Walkman F series”.

It is made by Sony. Sony makes some grades of WALKMAN, and F series is in the middle class. F series WALKMAN. You can send E-mail or connect to the web pages with WALKMAN using apps and Wi-Fi network. So you can use it for not only listening to music, but also playing with apps. And bandwidth is developed from obsolete model.

I bought my WALKMAN in 2013. Since then, I had used WALKMAN bought in 2006. And it was very different from 2013 model. It was very streamlined, because it is tool for listening to music only. And its design was obsolete. But F series released in 2013 is handheld design and is has touch-screen, so you can use as you handle your smartphone. I was very impressed because its cutting-edge function is attractive for me. I thought "This is what I've wanted!!". I think it is very user-friendly because it mounts Android OS.  It is very easy-to-use OS. Also, I think the sound is very good compared to other music players. I came to be able to enjoy not only music but also picture, video file and games!
WALKMAN is a device that you should have!

Movie Review -Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2-

 Harry Potter, played by Daniel Jacob Radcliffe, set out on a journey with his friends, Hermione Jean Granger and Ronald Bilius "Ron" Weasley to get the job done. The purpose of journey is to break down "Horcrux" to abolish Lord Voldemort. But they quarrel with each other along the way. And Harry Potter grow distrustful of his mission. What he do to overcome the situation is .... 

This is a must-see film. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is the eighth and final instalment in the Harry Potter series. If you see previous Harry Potter film, you must see sequel. Acting especially by Daniel Jacob Radcliffe is exciting and special effects is very effective, so this movie is heart-stopping ! 

Find the mistake

I edited the following plot summary from Jurassic Park about the movie Frozen. Find the MISTAKE!

Here is Japanese link.

Brought to a secluded island, three scientists discover a wondrous jungle paradise where dinosaurs again walk the Earth. Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) warns the creator of the preserve that nature won't be corralled into a theme park, and things go terribly wrong when a tropical storm strikes and a corrupt computer programmer shuts down crucial security systems. During a night of terror, Dr. Grant (Sam Neil), Ellie (Laura Dern), and two dogs are pursued by an escaped Tyrannosaurus Rex and several other violent dinos (including the vicious velociraptors). After many devourings and frightening chases, a showdown ensues.


The answer : dogs >> children
