'Word of the year 2009'
I think 'drug pollution' is Word of the year 2009. Japanese famous talents 'Sakai Noriko' and 'Osio Manabu' were convicted for cannabis possession. This news is shocking and 'drug pollution' was used many times in the news. So I think 'drug pollution' is word of the year 2009.

'Person of the year 2009'
I think ' Matsui Hideki' is Person of the year 2009. Matsui is baseball player. He belongs to NewYork Yankees. This year, Yankees won the World series and Matsui was chosen as MVP. There is no person who was chosen as MVP in the Asia ever. Matsui is greatness. So I think 'Matsui Hideki' is Person of the year 2009.

'Event of the year 2009'
I think 'Ishikawa Ryo became domestic tour's youngest top money winner'. In recent years, men's golf world was not popular, but this year, men's golf world became popular because of Ishikawa Ryo. So I think this is Event of the year 2009.

Home Work Internet addresses set for change

The board of Icann voted at its annual meeting in Seoul to allow domain nemas in many countries' script. There are many people who use the internet speak languages with non-Latin script. It is said that this is the biggest change to the way the internet works since it was created 40 years ago. the first internationaliesd Domain Names (IDNs) could be in use next year.
The move paves the way for the internet's Domain Name System (DNS) to be changed so it can recognize and translate non-Latin characters.

Home Work "This Is It"

5th March 2009, Michael Jackson declared that he would hold the concert "This Is It", and Michael's fans looked forward to meet Michael at the concert. However, he died at June 2009. After that, the mvie "This Is It" was released. This movie was pieced together from 100 hours of footage shot at rehearsals for the concert "This Is It". We can look the real figure of Michael in this movie. So michael's fans estimate this movie very nice. But then, there is "This Is Not It" which criticize "This Is It". This group thinks that The moive should not be released because they think Michael challenged to hold the concert in exchange for the lives of him, so they don't want. Also, Michael's sister says"I think my brother don't want to release of the movie".
I think the movie should not be released because I think the company which release the movie want to earn much money with Michael's last days. "Life is beautiful", I cannot allow to make the movie of last days of Michael Jackson, and earn the money with Michael.

Home Work My Favorite Song

My favorite song is "Bohemian Rhapsody". Bohemian Rhapsody is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie mercury for the band's 1975 album "A Night at the Opera". This song is Freddie's magnum opus. I think Freddie should be called the genius of composition because of this song.
There are some reasons I like this song. First, I like the beginning of this song. This song is began from [Mama] by Freddie's solo part. This part includes much sorrow, and gives me gooseflesh. Second, this song is composed by three parts -ballade, opera, and hard rock-. So this song and general songs are different fron each other. Also opera part's recording spent three weeks, and especially over ddubbing of chorus was repeated 180 times. The first time I heard this part, I was impressed. But I knew how was the part recorded and after that, I heard the part again, the impression became larger and larger. Now I like this part the most.
In British, this song kept winning the first prize for 9 weeks, this record is great. Also this song is the No.1 in the survey "what is the best song in the British history do you think?" by The Guinness World Records company. After the death of Freddie, this song was released again as a single CD, and won first prize in many countries. In Japan, the singer Utada Hikaru like this song very much and she named the tytle of her first concert " UTADA HIKARU BOHEMIAN SUMMER 2000". So this song is loved in the earth. Except this song, I think there are no song which be stuffed such a many drama and be loved by so many people.
