thanksgiving post?

 Well, I learned recently from a podcast that Japanese people for Christmas don't traditionally eat ham with a bunch of side dishes, but instead usually  KFC or just go out to eat for Christmas. So I watched the commercial to see how it compared to an American KFC commercial and it was different. The American one was big and expressive with loud words and fast speaking while the Japanese one was calm and warming even and made KFC like a staple. I just learned the importance of it in the culture for Christmas and how different compared to the united states. The commercial used very easy-to-understand Japanese in like short sentences so I could understand a good portion of the commercial which I think is done, so all ages can get the concept of the commercial

Cheer up!

CHOO CHOO TRAIN by Excile is a song I can always smile too. It reminds me of good memories, my Japanese teacher from high school would always play this song whenever we needed a boost or just was a sucky day and needed some cheering up. It's such a catchy song too, it has a cool dance that goes with it, and watching like live performances are so cool. I can't really tell what this song is about when I read the translated lyrics but like the name, it's about a train ride. It repeats a lot of the same lyrics and has catchy background music so after listening you find yourself humming the lyrics.  The music video is also a very weird one and has nothing to do with the song I don't think which makes this song even weirder to understand the lyrics. But its such a good song and with these last couple of stressful weeks I've had, I have needed it.  I don't honestly see anything with my current Japanese study, however, Japanese 80's-90's pop has always entertain

 こにちは！I've been swamped with exams these last couple of weeks so I haven't had enough time to post here so I will be posting 2 this week! So today I am doing a review on  OTONABLUE by Atarashii Gakkou (新しい学校)　This song talks about the concept of growing up too fast and wanting to do what grownups do. And loving like grown-ups do instead of basking in the awkwardness of first love and I really like the song for that plus the live performances of the song are so fun to watch they do dances and such that are really addicting, and I think that is the point of it. I didn't see anything related to my study now, but I have seen a lot of people enjoy this song in Japan especially early adolescents like middle school and high school students because it is probably what they are going through now and the song is very catchy which matches with a lot of pop songs and grabs people's attention. rating-9/10
