     Kotatsu is Japanese traditional furniture. Mainly, it's used in winter. Many people said that Kotatsu has magical power. This is because almost all people who once get under the Kotatsu can't get out.       I think Kotatsu is an essential item when we are living by ourselves. Despite it using less energy than an air conditioner and heater, we can become enough hot. Also, We can't get out when just go to the toilet and we sleep in the Kotatsu in spite of we catch a cold. Kotatsu has these bad effects on us. But in fact, eating an orange and talking with our family or friends while getting under the Kotatsu in winter are the best ways to spend time. Judging from these effects, Kotatsu is an essential item for all people. If you don't have a Kotatsu, you should buy it!

     My favorite anime is Odd Taxi. It is streaming on amazon prime video. It has only 13 episodes so I finished watching it two days.       The story was very meaningful. The first half episodes satirized current Japanese society. I think the first half episodes just satirized current Japanese society, but they connected the latter half episodes that are mysteries around the main character. As the episode goes on, the story is more interesting. To tell the truth, this anime didn't complete. The last scene is very surprising. A lot of popular celebrities voiced characters. It is one of the good points of this anime.       I have one more reason why I like this anime. It is that the opening theme 「ODDTAXI」 by Skirt and Punpee is very goooood. It perfectly fulfilled my preference.      Let's watch this anime! 「ODDTAXI」 by Skirt and Punpee   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKMw0hBDBUw

     The movie series which I really liked was called The Fast and Furious. It was directed by Gary Scott Thompson. It was awarded the Peoples Choice Award and the Teen Choice Award.            I liked this movie series because all characters （ the main character, his friends and families, villains） are very cool and fighting scenes and car stunt scenes are very exciting. Sometimes villains saved the world so there is a spinoff movie that is featuring them. These movie series have a lot of American cool performs and wordings.       I'm so sad because this series is going to conclude the next two movies. I want to watch more of this series. Also, I couldn't watch the latest series due to COVID19 so I want to rent the DVD soon. Please watch The Fast Furious! 　　　　　       

     Today I read an article about how frozen turkeys can explode. The explosion is caused by differences in density between water and oil. Also, differences in the density of water between its solid. When the frozen turkeys are taken in oil and boiling water, the ice coating turkeys melt and turkeys rise by oil layer.       Why take frozen turkeys in water and oil? This is because we can do deep frying. Boiling water and oil are heated around 175 ℃. This is hotter than boiling water. You think why to take frozen turkey in oil. But in fact, the water molecules can move harder than oil molecules so the water molecules can melt frozen turkeys faster than oil molecules. Using boiling water and oil is the best way to cocking frozen turkeys.      If you try to use boiling water and oil, you must be careful.
