My Japanese Blog

 Hello, all this is my late-night post! I've been studying for exams and papers I have due so this a late one. 来週よっつのfinal が　ありますよ！😓　私は　いそがしい、でも、だいじょうぶです！！ふゆ休みはともだちをあいます。私のたんじょびは一月です！（I will be turning 19）I can't wait for my birthday, but until then かんばりましょ！ 休みはシカゴにいって、ケーキをたべて、cookies　をつりて、わたしのうちはかえる。This semester has been so great, I didn't think I would make any friends in this course, but I did! I loved the experience even if I was less experienced than most of my peers, I still made good friends and hope to make a stronger bond next semester!　Good luck everyone on finals!!

 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 

 I'm sorry guys! I got really busy with exams and studying I forgot to post, but for last weeks blog I choose the song shinunoga e wa by Fujii Kaze which  mixes  both English and Japanese lyrics to get across a point of an obsessive love or wanting that type of love story. Its really good, Fujii has a really good tenor and bass singer voice. I know dokidoki which a type of repretetive word used to ddescribe a feeling so its describes a heart beat, and I think the use of that word really adds an emotion to the song and the rock sounding back tract makes it feel like the sound of your heart. I wonder though how the artist thought of the words he used such as the verb for death but didn't end in ます, so maybe it was a verison of that was a version of that verb anyway, please listen to it on like a walk it really is a good song!

  Hello! This Anime I decide to pick up this week is the way of the House Husband, this anime is based on a manga, it's about a once feared Yakuza leader named "Immortal Dragon" is now trying to a daunting House Husband and take care of his workaholic wife who is constantly working. The story goes about his daily adventures and the constant fear people still have in him. This anime is amazing its funny but also has great art style it's supposed to imitate the manga in its style so there is a lot cut scenes of manga panels, and thicker lines and shadows like some manga artists do. Plus, the movement is choppy, I usually don't watch this type of anime or enjoy it because I am picky about art styles, but the comedy made it worth it. 8/10 would recommend and the music is also very intense sounding for the anime itself and it just makes it great! when listening to the characters communicate the main character speaks in a more casual and more straight to the point type ...

 Good morning everyone!! Yesterday I went trick or treating kinda, and hungout with my boyfriend in our cute costume! 私のハロウィンエーリでしたよ！(I was Ellie from up for Halloween). Not to brag but it was pretty かわいい！💕  My feet hurt a lot from the shoes though😓But I had an amazing time dressing up 

 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 mal...
