M1 of the third floor

Besides laboratories, our research group also has two rooms for student’s research. One in the second floor and the other is in the third floor. M1 (pronounced: em ichi) itself means the first year master course's graduate student, sometimes it is called 修士課程一年生 (pronounced: shuushi katei ichi nen sei) with the same meaning. I have my desk in the third floor room and that makes me a member of the third floor’s M1. Except me, there are three others M1’s in our student’s room. By this short posting, I want to introduce our third floor's three musketeers.

Iwasaki alias Dai-chan

Dai-chan is the funniest guy in our room, a joker by nature and sometimes I thought he can be a comedian or manzai if he wants to. He can play soccer quite well as right wing back in student’s soccer club although he said that he won’t continue his career as a professional soccer player. This Hamamatsu’s resident who’s in charged as party arranger in our group still planning to seek a job after graduation around Shizuoka. Because of that, I was made a joke that he doesn’t want to separate from his mom. No offence buddy, it just a joke. I know how it does feel, H.O.M.E S.I.C.K.


Nukina aka Takero

Takero is living in Fuji, not in Hamamatsu. That’s why he always go and back from Fuji to Hamamatsu every day by train, pretty tired (you can see his weary face.....Hahaha..just kidding). He joined a student’s music club and played guitar in a band during his college days. Recently, he said that he has been quit from the music club but keep playing guitar alone at his home without band (perhaps in front of his girl :P ). Just like Dai-chan, if there is possible he wants to find a job and work somewhere in Fuji after graduation. Home sweet home




Uchida aka Uchi

At the first time I met him, I couldn’t catch his Japanese weird pronunciation which is later I found that he used Kansai dialect when he spoke. Uchi’s hometown is in Kansai area not far from Osaka, to be precise Hyougo prefecture. That’s why he quite often speaks with Kansai dialect or at least pronounces his Japanese with thick Kansai accent. Far from his hometown (Hamamatsu-Hyougo distance is about 220 Km) makes him rent an apartment nearby our campus. It seems he didn’t intend to find a job in Kansai area after graduation since he has been living far from Kansai now. As long as replaced in Honshu, he can work in anywhere.
