My favorite music is our Japanese old music during showa era and Jazz and Hawaiian and Country Western and Latin and Tango and fado and traditional folklore and more.

My favorite movies are "The summertime in Venice" "Sunflowers" "Gone with the wind" "Singing in the rain" "The wings of the dove" "Tokyo Story" "Merry-go-round" "A prize of gold" and so on.

My favorite books are novels written by Ranpo Edogawa and Seicho Matsumoto and more.
