Last Sunday, I bought a v.a. album, What's Up? Hip Hop Greatest Hits V, in Tsutaya near my house.
I'd been wondering if I bought it but finally got it. I regret a little that I spent my salary of my part time job again. But it was a valuable purchase, I believe. Because the album contains songs of Jay-Z, NaS, Akon, Rihanna, Fergie, PCD, 50, Ne-Yo, Game, BEP, Snoop and more! They are so HOT, aren't they? Sorry, I was gone crazy. I gotta be cool.
In the album,by the way, I want to recommend you Ne-Yo / Because of You to you. You better check it!!

蟹江西!!!
Last month, it was announced that the release day of Graduation, the new album of Kanye West, is going to be carried earlier on the Website. At first, it was going to be dropped in September but carried on August 15. It is said that, in this album, Jon Brion joins as a co-producer ahead of the second album, and Chris Martin, the member of Cold Play, a rock band in the U.K., John Legend and Comnmon join as guests.
I'm of course gonna buy the album because I own both of “The College Dropout” and “Late Registration,” the two albums he has ever dropped. I'll run to the Tower Record on the release day. But I don't feel like I can wait until August. So I visited his Official Website. On the Website, you can see the jacket of the 1st single from the album. When I saw it for the first time, I thought, “man, what is this sleazy and strange character? Where is the pretty bear in the 1st and 2nd?” I laughed at 蟹江西 in kanji, too. But looking at the jacket more carefully, I realized that it was designed by Takashi Murakami, a Japanese modern artist. I got surprised again! Anyway you better click the screen and watch the video. You can see how def he is. He'll rock you for real. By the way, let me remark upon the song. The sound which he composes keeps on developing! And I mumbled unconsciously, “Oh, damn. Can't tell him nothin'!!”

Baby Hatch
Today, I'd like to talk about "baby hatch" in Jikei hospital in Kumamoto. Recently, especially last month, I always saw the news about this isue on TV news and newspapers. Whenever the issue came up as an topic, the controversies were had whether “baby hatch” is should have been or not. However, the perfect answer didn't come out, still.
First of all, here is letter one by Krishna Haksar in Clearwater, Florida.
The author shows some of her experiences that she has worked with children and families for more than 20 years and works with developmentally disabled adult now. Through her experience, she emphasizes no matter how old the children are, they will get mental shock because of the abandoment by their parents. She argues that what is needed more is goverment's supports and a strong monitoring agency.
However, she says parents won't stop abandoning babies regardless of any systems and even though it is baby hatch,they will continue to do that. In addition she thinks the fact that a little boy who is three years old was found in baby hatch on the first day should be considered to be a warning.
Secondly, here is letter two by a person in Ashigara, Kanagawa.
The author gives a case of a couple of a junior high school student and her boy friend in Japan which in fact happened several years ago and . After showing the case, she asks readers that if it had been for a baby hatch, they would have been there. She doesn't assert but shows her thought that they might have been to baby hatch if it had been there at that time.
Although she the concept of the forst author, she doesn't suppose that baby hatch is the best. She thinks, however, it will saves the babies who may die outside.
I agree with the second author.
In my opinion, “baby hatch” is not the best answer. I do agree with the author in this way. However, it is much better than to abandon babies.
It may help decrease the number of people who would abandone babies. Usually abandoned babies die without noticed by anybody and if somebody finds them fortunately enough, they may have any disabilities. To abandon them means to infringe the right for living as human. This never should be allowed.
I think “baby hatch” should be very the last choice to make for parents about to abandon their babies. Therefore, people should learn more about the imortance of human's life and must think about it before having children.

I like JAZZ

This time, I'm gonna write about my favorite music.
This is the picture of CDs I bought in the loft in Umeda last Sunday.
I've wanted to buy them for four weeks and finally I got it.
Those three CDs cost just ¥2079 though they contain forty eight songs between the three.
This must have been a profitable purchase.
In so many songs, I have one song I wanna recommend.
It is “Blue Monk” by Thelonious Monk.
Then check the song on You Tube below.
All I know about Thelonious Monk is that he was a great jazz pianist and isn't alive now.
So if you wanna know more about him, click here.
