self introduction

I am Akinori Ushijima, I was born and grew up in Fukuoka prefecture. I'm 19 years old. I'm going to specialize ethics and philosophy in the University. I like watching movies, fishing, reading books and listening music. Especially, I like modern Japanese literature and French literature. My favorite writers are Ango Sakaguchi and Kenji Nakagami.  I have read their works many times when I was a high school student.

"BACKSTAGE PASS" book review

Scream, cry, hug...or freeze? If you get a chance to see the musician, what do you do? You might act boldly; nevertheless, it is very risky. In this story, the main characters go to their most favorite band's concert and they get a chance to meet the members of the band. , I was reminded the memory of my favorite band's concert last year. I went to that concert with my friends and we were so excited. With remembering that memory, I really enjoyed this story. Ito, L. (2015) , Backstage Pass , Florida and Tokyo: Atama-ii Books
