A way of spending money

My topic is 100 million yen in a day. This is a picture of an apartment. I will explain why I chose this picture of an apartment.

If I spend 100 million yen a day, it’s because I spend most of my money on buying apartments. But I wouldn’t spend 6 million on it. I would buy a car for my mother for 5 million yen out of the 6 million yen and go out with my friends for the remaining 1 million yen. I spend 1 million yen on eating luxurious meals with my mother and playing with my friends until morning. For the luxurious meals, I would go to eat sushi and enjoy the time with my friends while giving it back to the restaurant and bar that often take care of us.

I will explain why most of the money would be used to buy apartments. I think it is difficult to spend 100 million yen in one day, so I thought about what I would do to change my future income. I feel happy when my family and my marriage partner’s family can live well with my rent income and my own income. I wish this kind of dream would come true.

Masutani, Takamaru

If I had to spend 100 million yen in one day

If I had to spend 100 million yen in one day, I would buy a luxury car first. I would get in the car and start shopping. The next thing to buy is a branded bag. I will buy several bags that cost 1 million yen each. Next, I will buy some Van Cleef accessories. Van Cleef is quite expensive, so I think I can spend a lot of money. Anyway, I like branded items, so I think I will buy many of my favorite branded items. I also want to buy a grand piano.

However, the house I live in now doesn’t have space for a grand piano, so I’d like to break down one wall to expand the living room. I would like to buy a house, but I think 100 million yen is probably not enough, so I will give up. And I want to go to Disneyland. I would buy a lot of paid Disneyland tickets, and ride attractions without waiting. Then would I eat at a fancy restaurant and buy as many goods as I want. In addition, we will stay in a suite room at Hotel MiraCosta in DisneySea. I want to spend as much money and have as much fun as possible at Disney.

All remaining money will be put into the lottery. You can enjoy the excitement of having more money or losing everything.

My favorite convenience store sweets

Do you know what I usually eat when I’m tired or want to relax? It smells sweet and looks very cute. Guess what! Your answer is right. I usually eat sweets when I want to relax. Sweets make me happy every time. Today, I want to introduce my favorite convenience store sweets.

I have two convenience store sweets to introduce. First sweets is “CANELE Canele & Ganache.” I like this because I think it has a wonderful balanced flavor and texture. It is canelé flavored with chocolate. This canelé is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is chocolate ganache on the top of canelé. It is a good combination of canelé and ganache. It looks really cute and it is the perfect size too. Second sweets is “Soybean Flour Pudding.” I like this because I think it is lighter flavored than any other sweets. So I want to recommend it to those who don’t like sweets very much. This pudding is rich with soybean flour on the top. When I ate it, it smelled like roasted soybeans. I think it reminds you of your hometown wherever you are.

These two are my favorite convenience store sweets. If you are tired or want to relax, please try these with your favorite drink. I hope you can find your favorite convenience store sweets.

Childhood Dreams

I chose the topic “Childhood Dreams”. The reason why I chose this topic is because I had a dream that I had always pursued before deciding to study pharmacy.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a nursery teacher. I love children because I love taking care of them and watching them grow up. Another reason is that I loved my teacher when I was in nursery school. However, as I grew up, I became very interested in the study of pharmacy. And I dreamed of working as a pharmacist. I thought that being a nursery teacher is a job that allows me to do what I love, but being a pharmacist is a job that | look up to and can help me grow.

I still have a desire to become a nursery teacher, but I would like to fulfill that dream through a parttime job while I am still a student. Also, I think I can fulfill my dream of becoming a nursery teacher by becoming a parent. In order to become a pharmacist ,which is my dream now, l want to study a lot and think more about what kind of pharmacist is needed. I’m working hard to become a pharmacist.

Kazama, Yuki

My first dream

My topic is “what was your first dream job?” I choose this topic because I thought it would be interesting to remember what kind of job I was interested in for the first time.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a supermarket cashier as my first dream job. That’s because whenever I went shopping at the supermarket, I saw a cashier scanning the product and I really wanted to try it. Now there is a self-checkout and you can pay for the products yourslef, but at that time, the cashier did everything, so I had a strong desire to try it just once.

The reason I changed my dream and went on to the pharmacy department was because I wanted to become a doctor when I was in elementary school. At the time, I dreamed a lot about medicine and watched a lot of medical movies, and vaguely wanted to become a doctor. However, when I thought about what I really wanted to do in my third year of high school, I decided to become a pharmacist and went on to the pharmacy department.

My dream has changed since the cash register at the supermarket, but I want to become a pharmacist who understands their patients.

My favorite convenience stores sweets

My topic is favorite convenience stores sweets. This photo is from Lawson’s caramel pudding a la mode tart. It has a crispy tart, soft sponge, five kinds of juicy fruits, and a big fluffy caramel pudding. This tart consists of five kinds of fruits: pineapple, kiwi, peach, mandarin orange, and strawberry. The pineapple, peach and mandarin are on top of the tart.

I chose this topic because it was the easiest of the three topics to come up with and write about. Also, I chose it because it was a topic I thought about and I liked sweets. But, I think other topics such as the first future dream and how to spend 100 million yen are also humorous topics. So, I think these topics make for a great magazine.

I gave this answer because I like tart, and I liked sweet caramel pudding with sweet and sour fruits and crispy tart dough. In addition, the caramel pudding and sweet and sour fruits go well together, and the crispy tart adds a wonderful texture. Convenience stores have dozens of kinds of sweets, so you may find your favorite sweets by eating more sweets in the future. So, I want to eat various sweets from now on.

Kuwazuru, Yudai

What was your first dream job?

l chose topic is “What was your first dream job?” I had a lot of dreams about the future when I was younger. At first, I wanted to be a flower shop clerk. I like flowers; they’re so beautiful and have such a great smell, and there are so many varieties. I feel so happy when I see flowers.

But flowers attract many insects and bugs. I don’t like those very much. I’m afraid of bees, flies, and caterpillars. I don’t want to get close to them and hear the buzzing. So gave up on that dream. A flower shop clerk has a fair chance of touching flowers with bugs in them. After that, I wanted to be a baker, a pastry chef, and a teacher, and even other things. But I can’t cook or teach well. Also I can’t get up early.

Now, I want to be a pharmacist. I hope to help many people with drugs. A pharmacist’s work is far from a flower shop clerk’s. But both a pharmacist and a flower shop clerk make people smile, and make them happy. This is a very lovely thing. So, I’m working hard for my dream now and in the past. My dream is helping people to be delighted and contended with their lives. Also l enjoy myself when I’m working.

The charm and quality of Japanese sweets

I like sweets very much. I feel happy when I’m eating sweets. Also, even when I am full, I still have room for sweets (a separate stomache). Therefore I can eat a lot. I often eat sweets while walking around. Matcha is especially famous in Kyoto and I can eat matcha sweets. Sweets using matcha include ice cream, Baumkuchen, warabi mochi, parfait, and tiramisu.

My favorite is a matcha tiramisu from a shop called Matchakan. Tiramisu is a sweet that originated in Italy. However, the store’s tiramisu is in a wooden bucket, and it’s covered with matcha powder from the top. I can imagine the feeling of Japan without imagining it’s an Italian dessert.

My favorite sweets at the convenience store is the roll cake. I have two recommended points. The first is that there is a lot of cream. The ratio of dough to cream is low, so there is more cream, which remains

at the end. It’s very delicious to eat only the remaining cream.

The second one is just the right sweetness. It’s not too sweet, so you can eat a lot. It also uses two types of cream and custard cream, so it has a very good sweetness.

Sugar supplementation is very good for your health when you are tired. Therefore, when I take an exam, I often buy sweets at a convenience store during breaks.

Tagai, Tsubasa

My first dream

My favorite topic is “What was your first dream job”. The reason is that my first dream job is different from being a pharmacist. Since I was junior high school student, I wanted to be a soccer player.

When I was an elementary school student, I started to learn soccer. Even now, I remember that I practiced soccer hard whenever I took part in practice. I was able to play in a tournament but my team hardly won any games. I was often frustrated with my soccer skills. I wanted to quit soccer but the feeling I had of enjoying soccer didn’t change. That’s why I aspired to be a soccer player.

When I was junior high school student, my dream changed. The opportunity to change my dream was an accident during soccer practice, where I got seriously injured. I was hospitalized and had an operation twice. At that time, I was impressed by pharmacists I met in the hospital. They were kind and cool. I was afraid of the operation so I appreciated their kindness. Now I live in good health, and it’s possibly because of them. I appreciate their support, even now. That why my dream changed to be a pharmacist. I want to be a pharmacist who can cheer up patients and after I become pharmacist, I want to meet them again and express my gratitude.

Yamane, Ren

My childhood dream

I want to write about “What was your first dream job?” When I was in kindergarten, my first dream was to become the manager of a sweets factory. The reason I wanted to become a sweets factory manager was because I wanted to work in a factory like the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My favorite scene in the movie was the chocolate room where Charlie and his friends first visit. In the chocolate room everything in the room is made of edible sweets, such as the candy apple tree and the candy mushrooms. I wanted to work in a factory made of really edible things, so I wanted to become a manager of a sweets factory.

After that, when I was in high school, I wanted to enter the faculty of pharmacy in order to become a pharmacist. I decided to become a pharmacist because I admired the pharmacist who took care of me when I was hospitalized in high school. The pharmacist became quite close to me, because I was anxious before surgery, and they listened to all my various worries.

In the future, I would like to become a pharmacist who can be close to each patient, just like the pharmacist who took care of me when I was hospitalized.

Ueda, Maya

My first dream

My topic is “What was your first deam job?” When I was younger, I wanted to be a medical person. I especially wanted to become a doctor. There were many reasons why I wanted to be a medical person. I’ll introduce two reasons here.

First, I liked the hospital I visited. My doctor and nurse were very kind. So, I liked the idea of working in hospital. Second, when I was hospitalized repeatedly, I had a lot of time in the hospital. That time overlapped with the time I was deciding which school to apply for. I saw a pharmacist in action during my hospital stay. For this reason, I chose to study pharmacy in the end to make my childhood dreams come true.

Even now, my dream of becoming a pharmacist has not changed. I want to study pharmacy hard to make it come true. I want to become a medical professional who can be close to patients, just like the people who supported me.

Favorite Convenience Store Sweets

Convenience stores are familiar to us even in our lives, and we often use them. Convenience store sweets are sold at various convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, Family Mart, Lawson and Ministop, etc. There are different things sold at each convenience store, so I chose this topic because I thought it would be interesting to compare them.

I’m not a big sweets eater so much that I eat convenience store sweets every day, but I like to buy convenience store sweets once in a while. I think there are several reasons why convenience store sweets are popular. The first is their high quality, the second is their low price, and the third is the convenience to buy them. Some convenience stores are open 24 hours a day, so you can easily buy sweets when department stores and sweets shops are closed. In addition, it is attractive that the price is cheap for something delicious.

My favorite convenience store sweets are the milk agar from 7-Eleven, the premium roll cake from Lawson, and the soft-serve ice cream from Ministop. Also, the cream puffs and puddings of each store are delicious, so I think it would be interesting to compare and eat them.

Convenience store sweets are not only delicious, but you can also buy them at a low price of around 100 to 300 yen. For example, I think it’s a price that makes it easy to buy as a reward for yourself on a day you worked hard. Convenience store sweets are carefully made and very delicious, so please try them and find your own favorite convenience store sweets.

Fav. Convenience Store Sweets

My topic is favorite convenient store sweets. The reason I chose is because I often buy convenience store sweets as a reward for school or a tired day. Besides, convenience store are always nearby and to get to.

I’m not a big sweets eater, but I like sweets. I can’t eat that many though. I can’t even eat a piece of cake.

My favorite convenience store sweets is Tiramisu. I especially like Seveneleven’s. Family Mart’s pudding tiramisu is quite delicious, but it’s not the best. But there are many other delicious sweets. For example, there are puddings, dorayaki, eclairs and roll cakes. There are also seasonal sweets. For example, sakuramochi, MontBlanc and Christmas cake, occasionally in collaboration with characters. There are are endless possibilities with Convenience store sweets.

Tiramisu is a originated in northern Italy and was invented by the Italian Confectioner Ado Campaol who was called the “father of Tiramisu”. I want to thank him for making the Tiramisu. I can buy it at convenience stores, but I can also easily make it at home. Tiramisu is great because it’s easy to make. However, I have not made anything with the same quality as convenience stores. They’re so good.

Kato, Saki

What was your first dream job ?

I wanted to be a soccer player. I used to play soccer everyday. I liked to play soccer. I played soccer at junior high school but I didn’t play at high school.

I liked to watch soccer games on TV and l liked to play the game Winning Eleven. I was fascinated by the super soccer players of the world. I adored them, so I wanted to be soccer player like Messi. I wanted to be active in the World Cup and have the support of the people of the world. I thought if I could make it, I could be rich. Especially, I wanted to play for Barcelona in Laliga.

I had a setback though. All the players around me were good players, and I knew I couldn’t win. After high school, I thought I wanted to learn and be smart. I wanted to learn to save people them with medicine. I was attracted to medicine because it was great and had amazing effects. I thought I could help save patients by studying pharmacology.I have always loved saving people and making someone happy. That’s why, I decided to become a pharmacist.

100million yen in a day

My topic is 100million yen in a day. If I had to use up 100million yen in one day, I would make brand of Nametake. The reason why I chose this topic is I want many people to eat and love Nametake. At first, I will collaborate with Dolce and Gabbana. In addition, In addition, I will make a new brand, the name is Dolce and Gabbanametake. It is absolutely a super high brand-new product, but I will supply it for school lunch for free. I’m so kind. I think I pay 50million yen for it.

By the way, I like Eito, the singer. Therefore, I’ll ask to him to make a new song for the product’s PR, MV, CM and so on. The title of this song would be “Nametake Perfume”. I will upload this song to YouTube as a advertisement, and insert it in as many ads as possible. I’ll make sure you can’t skip it. I will pay 10 million yen for it.

I have to grow nametake in OMPU’s botanical garden, and paste my smile face as a producer’s face on the package to build trust, when I put it on the shelves of all the supermarkets in all of Japan. I will pay 40 million yen for it. As you can see, I want many people to recognize the deliciousness of Nametake. Just like that.

Tsutsui, Shunsuke

My Dream

My first dream, when I was little, was to become a cake shop owner. At first, I didn’t have a concept of working, so I think I said I would become a cake shop owner.

The reason why I wanted to become a cake shop is simply because I liked cakes at that time, and wanted to try making cakes. At that time, I was very happy when a whole cake came out on my birthday. I was wondering why my birthday is a good day when I can eat cake. I think I wanted to make people happy by making cakes that make them happy.

The reason I finally chose to study pharmacy was because I wanted to find a job that would benefit people. I had a vague idea of becoming a medical worker since I was in middle school, but it was around my sophomore year in high school that it changed to become a pharmacist. The reason I chose pharmacist among medical professionals is because I didn’t want to be a doctor or a nurse. I thought that doctors and nurses had more opportunities to see blood than pharmacists. I thought that being a pharmacist (someone who has few chances to see blood and works for people) is a wonderful profession.

Wakahara, Nami

When I think of ways to use up 100 million yen in a day, I think of buying something that will last into future. The first thing I thought of was making more money by gambling, but this agenda would spend all the money designated for it. And I would like to spend it on something more dreamy.

So, I want to establish an original whiskey factory. I love the sensation of whiskey gradually warming me up from the inside when I drink it. And, I feel beautiful that whiskey has a different flavor depending on where it is produced. The world’s five major whisky-producing countries are Japan, the United States, Scotland, Canada, and Ireland, known as the “five major whiskies”. I want to create a whiskey that is a blend of the five. Rather than mixing yellow and blue to make a green color, I adjusted the taste so that the yellow color would be yellow and the blue color would have some of its blue qualities. I want to create it.

Finally, I’ve talked about establishing a original whiskey distillery and my ideal whiskey vision. I was worried that the 100 million yen would be too huge an amount to spend all the money. However, now I’m worried that 100 million yen may not be enough. Dreams can be unbelievable.

Tasaki, Ryoma

What would you do if you had to use up 100 million yen in a day?

100 million yen?

My topic is “What do you do if you had to use up 100 million yen in one day?” The reason why I choose this topic is that I will not get 100 million yen in the future. I want to use such an enormous amount of money.

If I use up 100 million yen, I want to charter Adventure World in Wakayma Prefecture. Because I love animals. When I was a child, I often went to there with my family. But I couldn’t see the panda. So, I want to observe pandas, penguins, and any other animals. Look at this photo. There are many people. You know why I couldn’t watch animals for a long time. If I charter there, the number of people will decrease. So, my dream will come true.

Finally, Why did I give this answer?

My answer is I want to do what I can’t do in the future. I imagine gambling, impulsive shopping, when I use an enormous amount of money. But I’m not interested in gambling and I can’t use up 100 million yen in one day by shopping. I think I want to use money for interesting things. That’s why, I use up 100 million yen to charter Adventure World.

Kounoike, Masatoshi

What would you do if you had to use up

My favorite sweets

We crave sweets once in a while, right? Eating sweets when you’re irritated or depressed makes you feel better. There are many kinds of sweets. I want to know other delicious sweets that I don’t know yet. I would like to introduce my favorite sweets.

I’d like to recommend two sweets. The first is this sweet potato tart. It’s sold at Family Mart for 220 yen. The calorie count is 209 kcal. It has a tart dough wrap paste, which is sweet and smooth. You can enjoy the original taste of potatoes. The surface is roasted so it is fragrant. When you eat it, your mouth will be spread full of the rich flavor of potatoes. The tart base is crunchy and crispy. The sweet potato paste and the tart base are a perfect combination. Overall, this tart is pretty sweet and delicious. The second is double cream puff. It’s sold at Family Mart for 158 yen. The calories count is 302 kcal. It contains whipped cream and custard in the skin of the cream puff. This looks really sweet, but it’s not. It’s delicious. It contains a lot of cream, so eating this one makes you feel happy and satisfied.

Both look very delicious, don’t they? Both of the two sweets I introduced are very popular at the convenience store. If you like these sweets, you can buy and eat them. I hope you enjoy.

Sakao, Nanoka

Chocolate Fondant

Do you often eat sweets? I eat chocolate sweets every day. My topic is the convenience store sweets. I want to recommend my favorite sweets.

Look at this photo! My favorite convenience store sweets is chocolate fondant. It is on sale at Mini Stop, and it’s very delicious. There are two reasons why I like it. First, the lower chocolate fondant is so good. It has a rich and hot chocolate sauce in the cake. It uses Belgian chocolate with a strong taste. At the moment you cut the cake with a spoon, chocolate sauce comes out. Second, the softserve ice cream on the top tastes good. It is uses milk produced in Hokkaido for the ingredients. It is high quality, and so rich in flavour. Also, the cool ice cream has good compatibility with hot chocolate fondant. The ice cream melts by hot chocolate fondant and mixes with the chocolate sauce. Also, several sauces such as strawberry and orange are on the ice cream. They change every year. The fuit gives a slight sour taste, and the sauce makes a nice accompaniment to the ice cream.

In conclusion, chocolate fondant at Mini Stop is the best convenience store sweet. I want you to check this deliciousness. It sells only in winter, so please buy as soon as you find it.

Tsuda, Akari

Taiyaki

My magazine topic is my favorite convenience store sweets. I choose this topic because I often go to convenience store and I like sweets very much. This is photo of my favorite convenience store sweet. The product name is Cream Taiyaki Custard. Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese food.

Similar items are sold at every convenience store. But my favorite is sold at Family Mart. I think that Family Mart’s product has the best balance of texture and sweetness. However, other convenience store’s products are too chewy and sweet. This is why I like this one. Also, it is 140 yen and 212 kcal. This is less expensive and better than other convenience store sweets. So, we can buy without worrying about anything.

There are more good points to this product. We can eat it in two ways. One way is to eat this cold. Custard is so cold that it is very delicious. Second way is to eat it warm; the dough and custard is so hot that we can eat in the cold seasons. There is point to note in this product. The custard doesn’t go all the way to the tail. Therefore, you should start to eat it from tail. If you start to eat from head, your last bite will only be dough.

Takahata, Yuki

Ice cream

When I was younger, I wanted to be an ice cream shop clerk. I talked about this dream in my ‘Ichinensei wo Mukaerukai,’ a welcome party for entering elementary school. So, I remember this dream.

I wanted to be an ice cream shop clerk because I love ice cream. My mother tells me “when I gave you ice cream, your mood got better.” I was very pure, so I thought that ice cream shop clerks could eat a lot of ice cream for free. That’s why I wanted to do this job. However, the reality was totally different. When I worked part-time at Italian restaurant that made and sold gelato, I could not eat it. Even now I love ice cream, so I eat it very often. These

pictures were all taken by me. Everything was delicious and made me happy. And the Oreo one at the bottom left of the picture was taken in England, so it was very heavy. However, I loved it. Of course, I love other ice cream not shown in the picture here, too.

I chose to study pharmacy in the end because my mother recommended it in order not to be tight on money in the future. Although, I do want to be a good pharmacist when I become one. If I would have had the savings, I could have done anything, for example, be an ice cream shop owner. However, I think I will be a pharmacist and buy many kinds of ice cream. I will go to many places to eat ice cream. I appreciate my mother’s recommendation.

Hanamitsu, Honoka

Dolphin trainer

When I was younger, my first dream job was a dolphin trainer. They train dolphins to performances such as jump and say good-bye. They also help people to have an experience meeting dolphins. They do a lot of other things too, for example, feeding, keeping the dolphins healthy, cleaning the aquarium, and more.

I have three reasons that I wanted to do this job. First, I was moved to see a dolphin show when I was younger. Secondly, I thought I wanted to swim with dolphins because I had swimming lessons when I was little. Thirdly, I felt so happy to see a dolphin trainer and dolphins communicate pleasantly.

There were many things I would have wanted to do if I would have become a dolphin trainer. First, I would have communicated dolphins every day and made efforts to have a good relationship with dolphins. Second, I would have paid attention to dolphin’s condition and learned about dolphins a lot. Third, I would have worked hard together with dolphins to entertain people who come to see dolphin show and cheered them up. However, I want to be a pharmacist now. I can’t cheer people up by doing dolphin shows, but I can cure diseases and give smiles. I want to make efforts to be a good pharmacist.

Tsuji, Risa

100 million yen in a day

My topic is “100 million yen in a day”. I love money. With money you can do anything.

First, I want to go to the clothing store and buy all the clothes off every shelf. And of course, the clothes the mannequins are wearing. Next, I go to hamburger shop and devour all the fries in the store and only the meat on the hamburger. Probably not even half used yet. I’ve loved cars since I was a little boy. So I want the fastest car in the world, the only one in the world.

I would buy it at an auction for any amount of money. I know that the best thing to do is to buy gold and stocks for the future. But my future self will work it out and I will use it for fun now.

I love fruit so much that I order fruit in season every year and I want to know how good the finest fruit tastes. I love games so much I’d like to charge the rest of my money to the game.

I think that when there is money, there will be no more fights and the world will be more peaceful.

Sugawara, Kanta

My favorite convenience store sweets

I often go to the convenience store and look at the sweets shelves. I buy the sweets I worry about and eat them. I like sweets, but don’t eat a lot, because I often eat them only on some special days. I think that I’m don’t like eating them every day. However, I control my feelings to eat them as recently the convenience store sweets are cheap and delicious.

The sweets of my favorite convenience store are Shokora Nuts Dora. There are many kinds of sweets at the convenience store, and each company’s one is different. Therefore, it’s hard to choose.

The reason that chose Shokora Nuts Dora is because it was delicious. It’s chocolate flavoured. I like chocolate. Therefore, it’s one of reasons that I chose the sweets. The skin of the dorayaki is sticky. You can feel the taste of chocolate because it contains a rich raw chocolate cream, and there are nuts enter the cream. Therefore, I can eat without getting tired because there is a firm texture of nuts as well as a soft texture. The difference of this textured fitted in very much. This is the second reason I like it.

Taniguchi, Kaito

My favorite sweets

I decided to write it about my favourite convenience store sweets. The reason why I chose this topic is because I wanted everybody to eat my favorite sweets. In addition, this is because I also wanted to decide my own most favorite sweets.

When I decided to write about this topic, I was troubled a lot on deciding which sweets were my first favorites. This is because I know the sweets of many convenience stores as I worked part-time at a convenience store. And I selected the sweets of the convenience store which I thought to like the most; Lawson’s Tiramisu.

Next, I want to explain about tiramisu. I do not eat a lot of sweets usually. In addition, it is difficult for me to eat things that are too sweet. However, this tiramisu has a bitterness that’s delicious as it is not too sweet. This tiramisu has a layered structure. There is a lot of cocoa powder on the top. And, a biscuit layer is sandwiched between the cream. In addition, this tiramisu has a soft texture. So, I can eat it easily when I am full. For these reasons, I like Lawson’s tiramisu. Everyone please try this tiramisu.

Tsukuda, Kazuya

My favorite convenience store sweets

I am a big sweets eater. For example, every weekend, I buy a convenience store sweet as a reward for myself. I often buy Family Mart’s Sweets because there are a lot of Family Mart in my area. However, my favorite convenience store sweets are Lawson Sweets. I think Lawson’s sweets are very high quality and a little expensive.

This picture is one of my favorite sweets. This sweet is very delicious and was introduced on TV and became a hot topic. The chocolate flavor of this product is the result of repeated trial and error by Lawson staff. This sweet is also one that professional pastry chefs say is delicious and high quality.

The reason I like convenience store sweets is that many of them are difficult to prepare (ingredients) or make by myself. Sometimes I make cookies and puddings. I make them by reducing the amount of sugar for cost reasons. However, when I want to eat very sweet sweets, convenience store sweets are good for me. One of the appeals of sweets is that we can easily buy Puff pastries, Mont Blanc, and so on. They are difficult to make. That’s why I love convenience store sweet.

Fav. Convenience Store Sweets

My topic is Fav. Convenience Store Sweets. I am a big sweets eater. I feel happy when I eat sweets. I eat convenience store sweets more than once a week. Convenience store sweets are high in quality but low in price. That’s why I like convenience store sweets.

My favorite convenience store sweet is White Taiyaki. There are three reasons. The first reason is that the white taiyaki’s texture is different from the normal taiyaki. Normal taiyaki is a fish-shaped waffle. So it is fluffy outside. But the outside of white taiyaki is chewy like a pounded “mochi” rice cake. The second reason is that there is cream in the taiyaki. Normal taiyaki is filled with red bean paste inside. But white taiyaki is filled with custard cream. The third reason is that we can taste it whether it’s cold or warm. Normal taiyaki is not good when it is cold. But white taiyaki is sold refrigerated. And it is said that white taiyaki is also delicious if we heat it up. So we can enjoy two ways to eat it.

In conclusion, I like white taiyaki the best of all convenience store sweets. I want to keep on loving convenience store sweets in the future, too.

About the Convenience Store sweets I like

I like cake roll. Therefore, I chose this topic and this sweet from the convenience store. I like to eat sweets very much, but I’m not a big sweets eater. This is because if I eat too much, I will have heartburn. For that matter, I like to eat sweets with coffee or juice. I think having bitter sweets is very good.

My favorite convenience store sweet is cake roll, as I told you before. I have other favorite things. For example, chocolate cake, pudding, cream puff, eclair and so on. But I chose cake rolls from these favorite sweets. This is because I feel cake rolls are only slightly sweet and my family like them.

Though I said that I like cake rolls for the reasons above, the reasons why I chose it is not only them. Of course, I like cake rolls that are slightly sweet, however I like their softness and good melting texture, too. In addition, this is my older brother’s favorite sweet. I often ate it with my brother at the same time and came to like it. For these reasons, I really like cake rolls.

My Favorite Convenience Store Sweets

I chose the topic of Convenience Store Sweets. I often eat sweets, so I chose it. My favorite convenience store sweet is the Only whip sandwich from 711. Look at the picture. It has a lot of whipped cream. The cream consists of Shirobara milk, vanilla, and condensed milk. It’s rich and milky, but not heavy. The focus is on not only whip but also the plain bread. It’s very moist and melts in the mouth. I think this product has a nicely balanced flavor and amount.

I think the drawback of the product is its price. It’s 280 yen. I like the product and even I think it is a little expensive. This is almost the same price as other sandwiches with filling. The position may be similar to a rice ball with no filling at a convenience store. Would you like to buy just a salty rice ball at a convenience store?

You may be wondering if you really need to buy this. But I recommend this when you feel like eating something sweet. If you eat this in this situation, it will go a little beyond your imagination. Why don’t you eat when you’re tired at the end of the practice? This is limited to the Kinki area. Please try to eat by all means!

My first dream job Zine

When I was a child, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer.

The reason is because the dolphin shows I saw at the Nagoya Aquarium and Wakayama Adventure World were amazing and the dolphin trainers looked so cool. Also, dolphins are cute. However, I don’t like the cold, so I thought I couldn’t stand the idea of having to stand outside in a wet suit in the cold, even in winter, or having to go into the cold water. I also didn’t like the idea of putting my face in the water without goggles. Because of this, I gave up my dream of becoming a dolphin trainer. I chose to study pharmacy because biology was my favorite subject. I was also

interested in what I would learn in pharmacy school. Also, I was born with a little toe that was misshapen compared to others, but I had it surgically repaired. When I was a child, I was very frail and was hospitalized several times for pneumonia. At that time, I saw nurses and doctors who looked very cool, and I wanted to work in the medical field and help many people. At that time, I wanted to be cool in the eyes of others. Also, I like a drama called Doctor X. I thought doctors were cool after watching that drama. However, I am not smart enough to be a doctor, and I did not want to be a nurse, so I wanted to be a pharmacist. I also thought that if I could graduate from this school and pass the national exam, I would have an advantage because I would be qualified, and I would be paid well.

My first dream job

My first dream job for the future is to be an illustrator. I wanted to become an illustrator and draw illustrations for a novel. The reason is that I like drawing pictures. I really enjoyed drawing imaginary places and figures. And I wanted to make people happy with my paintings.

There are three reasons why I finally chose to study pharmacy. First, I was not good at drawing enough to become a professional. Today, especially on the Internet, I can see many people of my age who are good at drawing, so I thought I couldn’t beat them. Second, I thought it was not suitable for me to show my drawing to others because I was embarrassed. In addition, I think it is difficult to make people happy if I am not confident in my work. Third, I like chemistry for the most important reason. I found it interesting to be able to make various compounds with almost everything reasonable and few combinations of elements.

I am currently studying pharmaceutical science, but I have not given up working as an illustrator yet. From now on, I want to do my best to make people happy with both painting and pharmacy.

My hero and dream

This picture is the heroe of a Japanese TV show. These are the person I longed to be. They are called Kamen Rider in Japan, and I wanted to be one when I was a child. They have their own names, and my favorite hero’s name is “Kamen Rider Denou”. I’m going to give you a few reasons.

Do you like vehicles? When I was a child, I loved machines like cars and trains. His motif is a train. And this hero uses trains to battle. He has a deadly skill called Rider’s Kick. I was immediately attracted to him, and he turned into my dream. He transforms when he fights villains, with special sounds and effects. I cannot use these sounds and effects. So I imitating the sounds with my voice. His transforming scenes are very cool. It is also a cool factor that he always wins the battle against villains in the end. And for me, as a boy, it looked really fascinating.

These are the reasons why I, as a child, wanted to be like them. They are cool, respectable people. What was your childhood dream? Who is the person you admired? Please take this opportunity to teach me.

What was your first dream job?

My topic is What was your first dream job? I chose this topic because my future dream when I was little was not to be a pharmacist.

When I was first asked in kindergarten what my dream was, I answered “I wanted be a nurse.” At the Tanabata event, I wrote on a strip of paper and wished that I could become a nurse. I wanted to be a nurse because I had a nurse in my family. I also admired nurses in picture books. As a high school student, I longed to be a dentist or pharmacist even more than I longed to be a nurse. There was no significant reason at that time. However, after the outbreak of COVID19, I chose to become a pharmacist because I strongly felt that I would work in the medical field in the future.

I feel that the medical field does not revolve around doctors alone, and that pharmacist are also greatly involved in the medical field. At the same time, I found it a very rewarding job. Now, I think that I chose a career in pharmacy because when I was a little, I had a longed to be a nurse, a job that involved medical care.

Pasty Chef

My first dream was to become a pastry chef. There were two reasons. The first reason was simple and I liked eating cakes. I thought it would be great if I could work while looking at my favorite cakes every day. The second reason was that I wanted to make delicious cakes myself. Cakes are a very expensive food, so I thought I would be happy if I could make cakes made with my own recipes and eat them.

However, an event led me to want to become a pharmacist. That event was my grandpa’s hospitalizing. He was taking a lot of medicine and the pharmacist took great care of him. When I saw that, I thought that being a pharmacist was a

very proud job. Also I wanted to become a nurse, but I gave up because I was afraid of working at night. There were two other reasons why I gave up to be a pastry chef. The first was that pastry chefs get busiest at Christmas. I want to spend Christmas with my family. Second, I want to make sweets as my hobby. Someday, I would like to combine pharmacist and cafe management. Based on the above, I want to become a pharmacist now.

The top of picture shows my favorite sweet bean butter. The bottom picture is a muffin I made. In the future, I would like to make sweets like them at my cafe. So I’m still making sweets as a hobby.

What was your first dream job?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a baseball player. I have liked watching baseball on TV since I was little. The baseball player on TV looked very cool.

When I was in the third grade, I started playing baseball, I found it a lot of fun to throw the ball and hit the ball with a bat. Because of those things,I started to love playing baseball. I wanted to be better, and at the same time I wanted to be a professional baseball player. Since then, I have worked hard to become good at baseball. However, my efforts didn’t pay off completely, and I gradually learned that there more people who are more capable than me. I kept playing baseball until I graduated from junior high school, but I decided to choose another sport from high school. I was frustrated, but I didn’t hate baseball, and I still enjoy watching baseball on TV.

I couldn’t become a professional in sports, but I can aim to be a professional in a different way. Now I will study hard and do my best to become a great pharmacist.

My First Dream Job Was…

My first dream job was to be a Japanese teacher. The trigger was a short-term study abroad in Australia. I took Japanese classes in Australia. An Australian teacher was teaching Japanese. However, the teacher was teaching the wrong Japanese. I thought that only Japanese people could teach real Japanese. I wanted to teach correct Japanese to foreigners. I also wanted to convey Japanese culture.

I had no dreams for the future. However, when I went to Australia, I had a dream of becoming a Japanese teacher. I loved speaking English, but I hated writing and learning grammar. So I gave up on studying English. At that time, I became interested in becoming a pharmacist because my parents worked in the medical field. I started studying to be a pharmacist when I was in high school.

These three pictures are from the Australian school I went. The top picture is of the school gate. And the middle picture is a picture taken during the break. I had lunch and played games with my friends. Sometimes I read Japanese comics at the library. The bottom picture is the Japanese class. This class gave me my first dream. I gave up on my dream of becoming a Japanese teacher, but I would like to study Japanese at an Australian school again.

Convenience Store Sweets

My topic is Convenience Store Sweets. I chose this topic, because I like convenience store sweets very much and I want everyone to know how delicious they are.

I am a big sweets eater. I usually eat convenience store sweets twice a week.There are many kinds of sweets in the convenience store, so I don’t get tired of eating them. I like cake, crepe, Japanese sweets and so on. Especially I like Mont Blanc the best.

Look at this picture of the Mont Blanc of Seven-Eleven. Mont Blanc is a creamy chestnut cake and Japanese people often eat it in fall. It’s covered with chestnut cream. Moreover, this contains plenty of fresh cream and chestnut paste. It’s so delicious. This is not just delicious. The most appealing point is the size and price. This is big enough eat by myself, so I can be very satisfied. In addition, this is cheaper than any other cake which sold at cake shops, so it’s easy to buy for students who don’t have enough money. This cake is so attractive for those reasons. I want person who has never eaten one to try it once.”

Non-alchoholic

Craft

Beer Brewery

100,000,000 yen is a lot of money. A LOOOOOOOOOT of money.

I think even if you went to Aeon Mall and brought everything in all the shops, you might be close to spending 100 million yen, but where would you put it all? For that price, you could buy a few houses. Which is why, I decided to think big for this idea. I decided that if I had to spend 100 million in a day, I would buy something big.

I would buy a brewery (a beer factory). But my brewery would be special. I would brew only non-alcoholic craft beers.

This year, I stopped drinking alcohol. It's not healthy for me, so I quit. When I went back to Australia in summer, there was lots of non-alcoholic craft beer to drink, and it was so enjoyable. They're cheap, and refreshing, but I don't get drunk and don't feel sleep afterwards. Which is the best part about them. The pictures on the left are all the different styles I tried and enjoyed. The best one was Vande Street, Fun House Non-alcoholic IPA. It's the black can on the left side.

In Japan, I recommend Beery. It's only 0.5% alcohol (same as amazake, so you won't get drunk). Check one out if you see one!
