My close friend from high school, Riho, is a very memorable person.  She is really good at dancing. She used to go to dance club for about a few years. Why she decided to go to dance club is that she wanted to dance like her favorite Japanese singer and dancer group EXILE, and wanted to remember how to dance completely that group's dance. She is really good at remembering. The way how to remember that group's dance is just watch DVDs again and again she told me before. That is how she remembered EXILE's dances. When we were in a high school, we used to dance together. She taught me how to dance, and she was really enjoyed teaching how to dance. I think, she has a strong “light brain”. Because she is really good at remembering. For example, she remembers many kinds of EXILE’s dances, of cause. Then she is really, really good at remembering people’s names. It has passed about a month since we entered Kumamoto Gakuen University. She has almost remembered names of our classmates not including boys. Compared with me, she is a very memorable person. That is why she has a lot of friends around her I think.

Journal A

 I'm going to tell you about many ways I try to guess the personality and abilities of person I don't know very well. There are three points when I try to guess someone who I don’t know well. First of all, I try to guess someone by the shape of people’s faces. People with round faces are gentle person to other people, and usually stay calm and really kind to other people. It is easy for me to talk to them because they seem like kind and they don’t mind being spoken to by someone. If I compare him or her to the vegetable, he or she is a potato. I’m kidding. People with rectangle faces don’t show their feelings outside. They will not show to us what they think about or what they want to do. They are good at getting along with other people though. Although people with rectangle faces are careful when they speak to someone, and choose the words carefully. That means they look up to other people and people’s opinions. Second, I try to guess someone by the sound of their voices. If they have low voice, I guess they are shy and not talkative, but they are really careful when they talk to someone what to say to them. They should make their face look up because when they speak, they usually look at the floor, not look at opposite eyes. If they have high voice, I guess they prefer to talk to other people and want to enjoy talking with friends. They usually look at opposite eyes. Third, I try to guess someone by their clothes. When they prefer to wear bright color clothes, I guess they are active people. Then wearing those clothes makes them positive and happy whenever they feel negative or unhappy. You know, dark color clothes look cool, but it makes their feeling bad or something not good. These are the points when I try to guess someone who I don’t know well.
