Satoshi visited IKEA, a huge furniture store from Sweden, for the first time!
He bought a thing that he has been longing to get for long time.
"The other day, I was off from afternoon, I went to IKEA with the lowerclassmen for the first time.
I bought bunch of stuff, although my favorite is a lamp.
I feel relaxed when I turn up a lamp in the dark room.
Next is a milk bottle. It was used in the movie I saw long time ago, and I always wanted to get it! I really like it!
And I was watching sakura, I had a good time. Hmmm, sakura is good indeed."

Popular/R&B group EXILE have announced details regarding their upcoming single Taiyou no kuni for May 19th.
On November 12th 2009, EXILE performed the song Taiyou no kuni at "The National Celebration for the 20th Anniversary of His Majesty The Emperor's Accession to the Throne" before Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. On April 8th 2010, via the official website for "The Celebration Commitee of the 20th Anniversary of His Majesty The Emperor's Accession to the Throne", it was announced that there would be a physical release on May 19th.
This announcement follows the discovery of several requests from fans on the Internet for a CD release of the song, which was written by Akimoto Yasushi and composed by Iwashiro Tarou with an additional music performance by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. The single will cost ¥1000 and all proceeds will be donated to JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) and three other organisations.

Actress-singer Kou Shibasaki, 28, took time out from her nationwide concert tour to return to Tokyo this week for an event at which she was named an “image character” for Lipton’s Limone tea brand.
Shibasaki, who revealed a new hairstyle, will appear in a series of TV ads for Limone. The singer said all the usual things, such as how the tea refreshed her and how she always has some during breaks when she is singing or on a film set because it gives her energy.
AKB48 achieved their first #1 album this week, with "Kamikyokutachi" selling nearly 295,000 copies. That sets this year's record for first-week album sales by a female artist. It is also the first album by a female group to break the 250,000 mark since Morning Musume's "4th Ikimasshoi!" in 2002.
Rock band Soutaiseiriron was #3 with their newest album. Ryu Si-won entered at #5 while BREAKERZ were at #9.
In the single rankings, NYC's version of "Yuuki 100%" topped the charts with 92,000 in sales. Enka singer Kaori Mizumori opened at the #2 spot. Also in the top ten were Ai Otsuka (#6) and Ai Kawashima (#10).
YUI's New Song [to Mother] as a Piece of Great Confidence!
It's been 5 Months since her last single release [GLORIA] the first release for YUI in 2010, when on June 2nd her new song will drop in stores. The new title is called [to Mother] and with a more subtle tempo, it is a piece the singer has great confidence in.
On the song YUI herself said [Lately there are more chances to express my gratitude to all the support with the songs I am singing, however, this time, this is something which is even more important to me, that I have written. When looking at the title it translates to [to Mother], but apart from [Mother], in a wider sense, I just hope that all people listening to it will just think this is great! I want everyone to listen to this soon! Please look forward to it!]
And since Mother's day is really close, this is probably a great gift for anyone's mom or an important person. [Of course this is about mothers, but I wish everyone will think of this as directed towards an important person in your heart, listen to it and maybe even give this song away as a present!]
優しさって、残酷だ / Yasashisatte, Zankoku da. [lit. Such Cruel Gentless it is.] / YUI
