Today, I want to introduce some of the items Tully's Coffee in Japan has released to celebrate its 20th Anniversary this year.
But before that, I want to write about "One Love Manchester", a charity live that Ariana Grande and her staff held at 7 p.m. on June 4th in Manchester, the U.K.
You-tube and others such as BBC etc...streamed the"One Love Manchester" live (thank them all) that day and it started at 3 a.m. on June 5th (Japan time). It was a live broadcast, but we still can watch the live on You-tube above. It's from Ariana Grande's official You-Tube channel.
Here are the names of the songs Ariana Grande performed during the live and the time when each song started. Also you can watch many of the perfomances on BBC Music You-Tube, including the other artists' songs and messages.
Be Alright (her song from the album "Dangerous Woman" and audio only from her official You-tube.) 1:10:49
Break Free (her song from the album"My Everything" and the official music video is below) 1:15:09
Where is the Love? with the Black Eyed Peas (a BEP's song.) 1:29:36
The official music clip from the BEP's You-tube
My Everything with the Parrs Wood High School Choir 1:43:25
The Way (her duet song with Mac Miller from her 1st album "Yours Truly") 1:47:22
The offical video of the performance is this:
Also the official mv is this:
Side to Side (one of her new songs released last year. The official mv is here.) 2:03:18
Love Me Harder (a song from "My Everything" and the official mv is here.) 2:28:32
One Last Time (her song from "My Everything") 3:12:43
The official video of the performane.
The official mv of the song.
Over the Rainbow (a cover song by Ariana.) 3:17:31
I've read she has released a song "Over the Rainbow" or "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" she covered that day, and maybe it is available on Apple Music.
Many great artists and singers performed wonderful songs during the "One Love Manchester" live, though I've introduced not all of them but only some of Ariana's songs, her duet soungs, and a song she covered. So if you want to listen to all of the songs Ariana sang or want to watch other performances by various artists, watch the whole live or check out the BBC Music on You-Tube.
Of course I like the other artists' songs as well as Ariana's. To be honest I like Katy Perry and Justin Bieber, too. She sang "Part of Me" and "Roar"(the video of her performance at the Manchester live. I like the official music video of the song), and he performed "Love Yourself"(not a live one but the official mv) and "Cold Water"(the Manchester's one). BTW, Justin has appeared in Japanse TV commercials with his song "What Do You Mean?". Also I know many of the songs which were performed during the concert.
I'm really surprised there were so many artists who joined her charity live and a lot of people gathered for it, as you can see. I think some of you know that this charity concert was held for the victims (and their families) of a suicide bomb attack, which took place in Manchester on May 22th.
For more details, please read these articles (both are written in English.) :

Grande returns to Manchester to honor concert attack victims (from the Japan News)
As the second one writes, "she even collaborated with others onstage: She sang Fergie’s verse on the Black Eyed Peas hit, 'Where Is the Love?' along with the group; she performed a duet with Cyrus; and she sang her debut song, 'The Way,' with rapper Mac Miller."
Wait. Maybe, her debut song is "Put Your Hearts Up", but I'm not sure.
...and you know what? Fergie was not there and I recently read that she had left the BEP. So sad.
So that's why Ariana sang Fergie's part. This performance was great, too, though.

means one love!
My favorite BEP's albums and the GRAMMY 2004 album, which includes their "Where Is the Love?" song with Justin Timberlake. Maybe I came to like R&B music thanks to this GRAMMY album, and I have bought some GRAMMY albums since then. I love GRAMMY 2007 album the best
Well, if you don't listen to music or don't know who Ariana Grande is, I think you should know that she is a Japanophile and she is learning Japanese!
One of my favorite songs "Popular song", a MIKA's song featuring Ariana Grande. The end of the story of this music video is so funny. Ariana's "Yours Truly" album includes this song and the album is very good. From that album, maybe "The Way","Baby I" and "Right There" are especially famous, but the other songs are nice, too.
Like "Piano", it is a beautiful song, but is also a very sad one when you listen to the words of the song. If you are good at playing the piano, or are able to write a song, or you are an artist, you should listen to the song. Though I learned how to play piano when I was a little, I'm not good at playing piano at all. Also I like singing and I'm good at, but I've never written a song and maybe I can't. I think Ariana is very popular among boys (she is not only cute but also sexy), but she can sing a song like that. No wonder she has many female fans.
She has an amazing voice. On top of that, Ariana is very good at dancing. I like her "Focus"'s dance and their dance costumes full of stars
So cute
Oh, if you like FF, or Final Fantasy series, you definitely have to listen to this.
Her "Touch It" remixed by FFBE, or Final Fintasy Brave Exvius. Actually, my favorite FF game was FF Ⅵ, but when it comes to music, I really like FFⅤ's music and I still have its soundtrack album. Also I think the opening song of Chrono Cross "Scars of Time"is popular among people who like RPG games while I've heard that the story of Chrono Trigger, the former one, is more popular than that of Chrono Cross.
I haven't played a video game for more than 10 years, maybe since I was 15 years old or so, because I had to study hard to pass the entrance exam. I threw away all the video games I had at that times so that I could concentrate on studying. And the last time I played a FF game, it was the original version. FFⅦ. So, I was surprised that people today can play FF on their smartphones or IPads, for free. Of course I tried FFBE, Final Fintasy Brave Exvius, on my IPad using Wi-Fi after I knew Ariana Grande had collaborated with FFBE... It was fun!
Oh, maybe many people don't know that, but you can play "PokeGo" at many Tully's Coffee shops

So, after I upload this blog post, I'll start to write about the anniversary items I've mentioned. But I don't think I can upload a new one by midnight. I thought "I'll try"at first. Since it's almost half past 11, it's impossible! Now I'm listening to NHK radio "Business Commnunication in Action" and I've always learned a lot from this radio program, like a lot of words and phrases about the restaurant business, food & drink, etc.... So I can't miss it after all. You know, sometimes I'm confused when I try to count something, such as some kinds of vegetables, many kinds of fruits (I know we usually say just "fruit" because it's basically one of the uncountable nouns) and so on.
