My Japanese Blog

 Hello, to fit the halloween vibes, I am going to do a Halloween post! I'll post my halloween costume later but here is a spooky story!  The Legend of Jorogumo, in quiet streets of Akihabra or the dark corners of Tokyo a beautiful women sees a man of her desire, she changes her apperance to lure this handsome man and asks him to marry her  or attacks his heart strings and cries for her baby.  In other towns  she starts to play a song on a flute to lure him into her beauty, and he usually follows and then the beautiful shows her true colors and turns into a spider and captures her pray inside her luring web and eats him. So if you ever see your friend in japan go missing maybe she took him.  ~The end~ A lot of Japanese myths always have different versions depedending on locations of japan and I found that really cool. Like one verison said the girl stands outside a lonely shack and cries like she has lost her baby or her baby is sick and then attacks the male. Or one has her kinda a

 Hello its me again, I would post more about my life, but I don't really do much to really talk about so here I am with another drama. As a common theme here, I watch a lot of Romance dramas, and this was my binge for over break to treat myself. It's called good morning, Call, it's basically about a girl named Nao who has moved out of her family's house because they are moving so she doesn't have to move away from her friends and basically whole life. So she finds a real nice house for pretty cheap but there is catch the person who gave her the lease scammed her and another character named Urahara also got the same contract, so they decided to live with each other till they find somewhere better. This drama is pretty good, lighthearted in comedy the main character can get pretty annoying sometimes but it's a cute drama to watch. I noticed that in a lot of romance dramas or non-dramatic dramas they use a lot of simple sentences and non-formal speaking when talkin

  Song- We are by ONE OK ROCK I love this song, My past Japanese teacher showed me and my classmates this song during the Pandemic when we were allowed to go back in person and it struck a lot stuff with me. I was a junior then almost a senior and was experiencing that lost of hope or sense of direction. "When you're standing on the edge, So young and hopeless, Got demons in your head" this line always struck something that everyone has that doubt and made me really connect with the song. This song was meant for everyone who needed to hear that they weren't alone and I would recommend you listening to it. This song is in English, but the artists are Japanese  artists they wanted to produce a song for all that could listen to and relate to and using simple English phrases , the song really showed me how the age of someone really plays a part in society . I watched an interview to this song and the main singer said that this song is supposed to be that support when you

  A little late on the blog post but here is a song I decided to make a blog about. Dress down by  kaoru Akimoto,  it has  a 90's and 80s vibes of that reminds you of like movies where the girl and guy are dancing in the center of the dance floor. Its one of my favorites to listen to when I need a confidence boost or something to put me in a good mood. Plus it has a lot funky instrument tracks and instruments that make it sound awesome. Highly recommend it,  The song when I looked up the English translation of words talks about a lady probably enjoying her night partying and finding a guy who has caught her eye and it really sets in that feeling of like being at a disco and the dude and girl dance together gives it a whimsical feeling. This song didn't relate much as I don't know many of the words being talked about about but the use of kanji when I looked up the lyrics and seeing them used is really helpful to depicting when a meaning is used like the kanji for inside 中, o
