夜に【プラダを着た悪魔2】を映画館に見に行くために

朝からはりきって子供の弁当作りと伴走して

夜ご飯用にクリームシチューを作り、

仕事後は下の子の子供の習い事送迎と

夜遅くまでの習い事の姉の為、下校後すぐ食べる夜ご飯を準備して出発

友人と映画を見るのは2008年の【セックス・アンド・ザ・シティ】以来なのでもう18年ぶり。

そして【プラダを着た悪魔からは20年ぶりの続編【プラダを着た悪魔2】

映画内には20年の社会の変化が濃厚に描かれていました。

もう、各場面で爆笑しちゃいました。

映画の後、あのシーン感動！など、わいわいと語り合う時間は至福。

お店の閉店時間まで女3人で語り合いました。

一緒に鑑賞したアメリカ滞在歴10年の友人は

（嵐のファイナルコンサートに当たったので帰国中）

男性陣のセリフの翻訳が意訳し過ぎで気になって仕方がなかった。

純粋に楽しめなくなっている！と。頭の中が忙しそうでした。

帰りは品川駅、高輪ゲートウェイ駅、田町駅の開発を横目に帰りました。

どちらも絶賛工事中、田町駅の森永ビルもすっかり面影がなくなり

建物で隠れていて見えたことがなかった田町駅の看板が見えていました。

私は古い建物が好きなので取り壊さずに

古い建物を活用してほしいと願ってしまいます。

To go see The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the movie theater that night, I started the day full of energy — making lunch boxes for the kids and doing the morning school run. I also cooked cream stew for dinner in advance.

After work, I drove my younger child to their after-school activities, and because my older daughter had lessons that would run late into the evening, I prepared dinner for her to eat right after getting home from school before heading out myself.

The last time I went to see a movie with friends was Sex and the City back in 2008 — so it had been 18 years. And now, nearly 20 years after The Devil Wears Prada, we finally got its sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The movie vividly captured how much society has changed over the past two decades. I found myself bursting out laughing scene after scene.

After the movie, talking excitedly with friends — “That scene was amazing!” “I loved that part!” — was pure happiness. The three of us kept chatting until the restaurant closed.

One of the friends I watched it with had lived in the U.S. for ten years (she’s currently back in Japan because she won tickets to the final concert of Arashi). She couldn’t stop noticing how heavily localized the subtitles for the male characters’ lines were. She kept saying, “I can’t just enjoy the movie normally anymore!” Her brain seemed busy the entire time.

On the way home, I passed by the ongoing redevelopment around Shinagawa Station, Takanawa Gateway Station, and Tamachi Station. Everywhere was still deep in construction, and the old Morinaga building near Tamachi had completely lost its former appearance. For the first time, I could actually see the Tamachi Station sign that used to be hidden behind buildings.

I love old architecture, so whenever I see these changes, I find myself wishing that older buildings could be preserved and creatively reused instead of simply being demolished.
