Bet on me by JUJU

 The beat was electric. It was like a groovy anime and that was so fun to listen to something created now yet gives off the vibe of a 80's song. The song was about betting on this girl in the sense of you can "bet on me" like she is reliable. I thought the allusion to gambling in the music video by the cards and card suits on the screens behind her showed that too. The song came in with high energy and just mage me get into a rhythm with my work. I thought that song was super energetic, fun, and felt very much like it was from Japan. I think it is cool to see the cultural differences even present in music. 



I didn't understand much of what was being said but I could hear the syntax of what she was saying and could understand sentence structures. I also was able to understand when she said 何も even though I didn't know what she was saying about nothing. I also heard the しょう and dictionary forms.

 私のへやはきれいです。そして、ちいさいですよ。へやのなかにベドがあります｡そしてべドのうえにえがあります｡でも、せんしゅう　へやはきたなくありました。つくえのうえにテレビがあります。つくえのなかにけんだまがあります。きょねん　れいぞうこがありました｡そしてふたつのファンがありました。れいぞうこのなかに たくさんたべものがありました｡Wah … Wah!😭

Mix of Japanese Songs to study with

Image
This music was super relaxing to listen to and got me in a mood to be more proactive with my work. I liked the rhythm and flow of the music, it reminded me closely to music from my childhood that was on the radio but just in Japanese. I thought that the music felt very love and city oriented, which makes sense when I think of where these song artists live.  I was able to fully hear て forms and heard みたい, きかない、and many other grammar forms that I know. I also heard a lot of する、ある　as dictionary forms for words used in the songs. The speaking was very very fast with vocabulary I was unfamiliar with but I could understand the sentence structure and so generally could break down if they were talking about wanting something, doing something, past tense, and other particles.

Jeffery Angles Event

This event was super fun to be a part of! It was a great way to start the day and I learned about his story which was increasingly fascinating as he continued his story. He seemed very intelligent with how to be respectful to others while learning their language and understand where we lack the words and that it can be more beneficial to listen. I thought his poems were amazing and how he met his biological mother for the first time when he was in Japan was super surprising. His story made me realize that no matter where we think we are going to end up in life, we have no idea. There are so many things that can happen and just accepting the present moment may be much more beneficial then trying to plan out our future. I think this was made apparent when he spoke on how he became a translator and that he never thought of being a poet but just tried it out one day and now he's ended up where he is today. I wanted to try a short poem below: Gone the day goes, Drifting away and coming ...
