(Catch a Wave)
The Japan Skaiting Championships were held from Dec. 26 to 28 at Namihaya Dome in Osaka. If a player wins in this meeting, they can have the ticket of the next world championship.

Asada Mao was on top after the short program. She failed on a triple axel at opening of her free skate, but she performes the rest of her jumps, spins and steps well. She recieved 132.41 points in the free skate and won the overall title with a total of 205.33 points, so Asada won the title for the second consecutive year.
Ando Miki was in second place after the short program but she came out on top in the free skate with 135.50 points. she said "I feel great. I didn't get nervous and I was able to skate just as I've done practice." Overall, She finished second with 204.18 points, only 1.15 points behind Asada.

I watched this meeting on TV.
I think that I want Asada, Ando and Nakano player who were able to win the ticket of the world championship in this meeting to try it hard as Japan representative.

1. A Nativity play or Christmas pageant is play which recounts the story of the Nativity of Jesus. It is usually performed at Christmas, the feast of the Nativity. (Wikipedia)

2. A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas (commonly known as A Christmas Carol) is what Charles Dickens described as his "little Christmas Book" and was first published on December 19, 1843 with illustrations by John Leech. The story was instantly successful, selling over six thousand copies in one week and, although originally written as a potboiler to enable Dickens to pay off a debt, the tale has become one of the most popular and enduring Christmas stories of all time.
Contemporaries noted that the story's popularity played a critical role in redefining the importance of Christmas and the major sentiments associated with the holiday. A Christmas Carol was written during a time of decline in the old Christmas traditions. "If Christmas, with its ancient and hospitable customs, its social and charitable observances, were in danger of decay, this is the book that would give them a new lease," said English poet Thomas Hood.

③The harvest of the domestic matsudake mushroom decreases sharply this year in West Japan each place. Although it greet the peak of the collection of cargo in average year, the middle of October, as for the quantity, the price becomes the remarkable rise in the fewness that late years do not have with each production center. It is pointed out whether the intense heat of this summer is the greatest factor.

I think that it is sad that Japanese taste decreases year by year. In addition, the intense heat increased in the year. And the global warming advanced more from now on and the harvest of the matsudake mushroom decreased. I think the global warming after all is serious.
