Travel with Wakana on her Journey to Catch a Shark Vol. 3🦈
Wakana loves sharks. This time let’s check out Miyajima Aquarium and watch a movie with sharks! Another movie appreciation section will be included in the next issue!
Wakana visits Miyajima Aquarium. During a little bit of freetime between the Yamaguchi and Hiroshima 「Kalafina Acoustic Tour 2017 ~”+ONE” with Strings~」 performance the fanclub joined Wakana on her trip to Hiroshima’s Miyajima Aquarium!
“This is my first time at Miyajima Aquarium! I wonder what kind of sharks I will be able to meet?!
“I went to Miyajima Aquarium!”
Attention! Line up! Let’s all do a penguin pose together! Here’s a ray that’s taking kindly to humans. It is following Wakana’s every move. It is coming close to Wakana. It says, “hello!”
They also have some sharks even though they are quite small. Taking lots of pics in a row & getting a perfect shot! Wakana in the midst of catching a shark!
There are lots of cute fish that look like Nemo! There’s a great photospot where it seems like you are in the middle of the sea! A huge sea lion was swimming around in the tank. The otter was so cute! I couldn’t stop looking at it.
In the midst of taking pictures at Itsukishima Shrine! The big torii provides an amazing view when the tide is out. It is one of the Three Views of Japan!
Wakana watches a shark movie! Wakana’s recommended shark movie is “The Shallows”! She started the screening well prepared…with candy and a cushion!? A hot-dog in my right hand, juice in my left hand, I am ready to go! Shark plushie: “I can’t wait ♪ !“ Speaking of films, I always make snacks such as hot-dogs and popcorn, I’ve prepared lots of stuff for my shark film!
We start watching the movie together with staff members in the audio room at the agency. At the beginning Wakana is super composed. “The popcorn is so yummy!” When the shark appears for the first time Wakana’s face becomes serious…”Oh no…!” There are lots of scary scenes that make you cover your eyes out of fear. So scary! After the film is over we have to reward ourselves with some more snacks!
The shark’s leading role in the movie as well as the portrayal of its movements are amazing! Everyone, please be sure to watch this film!!
This time it was all about, “let’s watch a shark movie!” We watched “The Shallows” just now, what made you choose this particular film?
Truth is, it’s because I love the lead character played by Blake Lively! She is the actress from “Gossip Girl”. Blake’s body is simply amazing…she is so cute!!
The shark was scary!
The shark in the movie is portrayed in a very negative light. Not very likable at all…This is actually the 4th time I am watching the film.When I watched it today I made some new observations. “Ah, I wonder if it attacked the people due to that reason…” The shark is really not such a bad guy!
Are there real sharks appearing in “The Shallows”?
The shark in this film is CGI but the creators were inspired by the movements of real sharks so even though the shark is fake, it looks very real. But I don’t wanna talk too much about the content since I want all of you to watch the movie and really, Blake is so cool in it! The way the shark is moving is also amazing! I really want you to see it!
Aside from this you also introduced us to a few other shark movies. Why did you recommend “Deep Blue Sea”?
All the sharks in this movie are CGI, they REALLY go on a massive rampage! Those sharks made by humans are super strong! They are really scary *laughs*
What about “Into the Blue”?
This film stars the beautiful Jessica Alba! The sea also looks amazing. The sharks that appear in the movie are all real. They have a gorgeous form! Sharks are only attacking humans due to the evil actions of people, that’s very refreshing to watch.
“Jurassic World” is a dinosaur movie, right? Does a shark appear in it? There’s a huge mosasaurus that eats a great white shark. It’s a short moment. *laughs* But sill, I recommend it!
A tiny moment indeed *laughs* Your last recommendation is “Open Water”…
Ah yes…The real sharks appearing in this film are amazing! I think I got traumatised! I probably can’t watch it again.
So people who want to watch it should definitely brace themselves…all right, a general comment on shark movies, please.
I actually don’t like scary movies. I don’t watch any horror at all. I only watch these movies because of the sharks! I guess that’s what you call dedication. I wanna learn a lot about sharks! However, I do not really like movies where sharks attack humans for no apparent reason. The story is very important! For me sharks are like having a favourite actor, you would watch anything with your favourite actor whether it is a funny or a scary film. I feel the same way about sharks.
I am convinced! *laughs* Well, I am looking forward to the next issue!
