All my friends from high school time know this… :)
The infamous “deserted island” English lesson!
(Don’t worry, it’s subtitled. :D)
Yaguchi Mari (of Morning Musume fame) being taught an English phrase by Ayaka (of Coconuts Musume fame)

It’s a little scary how this song actually reflects the amount of time which passed between graduation and now…
One of my favourites, and I love this version because of the tight harmonies. :)

Not too bad, it’s when there are fricatives and shit that screw me up.
The kanji really helps, I’m not gonna lie.

the one in the yellow has so much groove though
- I am totally stealing moves from this video for my Summer Fun dance.
- I am totally kidnapping these children and they’re gonna teach me those moves.
- I am totally in love with vegetables now.

Ishigaki Perry Chōkō Prize
I was able to win another poetry prize! :)
雲のない
果てしない空
見上げたら
会えぬあなたと
繋がっているくものない
はてしないそら
みあげたら
あえぬあなたと
つながっているIf I look up at the cloudless, never-ending sky
I am connected with the person* I cannot meet.*I decided to translate 会えぬあなた as “the person I cannot meet” to make more sense in English. Literally it would be “the you I cannot meet.”
Not the highest prize, I think, but I’m still pretty proud of this poem. :D
We have a whole lecture in Japanese Pop Culture class about this guy.
I don’t recall if I posted this particular version already, but nonetheless, one of her gems.
And to think this was off her debut album…
They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying “you must be strong not to cry.”
The more people said things like that,
the more even laughing became agony.

I don’t know if I feel old, like a dedicated fan, or just plain weirded out when songs I thought were recent are over five years old now. :O
I can’t believe songs like evolution are over eleven years old now! D:

There were rumours as to who this was directed to: many point to her father, who left Ayu and her mother early in Ayu’s life.
Either way, this comes off one of her most emotional albums, Duty.
Today, the story of two people meeting, understanding each other, and parting repeats itself somewhere.

There’s never a day I have to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot about you.
Posted March 31, 2012 at 1:20am in HANABI Hamasaki Ayumi Ayumi Hamasaki Ayu 浜崎あゆみ japanese video As you can see my obsession has been reignited.
At the times when we can’t meet
your voice cracks over the telephone.
The smile on your face that time when we met after so long
Tugs at my chest.I’ve realized that you are deep within my heart.
“I love you”— I can’t imagine myself saying those words!
