Blog 6: Video

 こんにちは！For this blog post I watched a video from the 2024 Kendama World Cup. I know quite a bit about Kendama because my Japanese teacher in high school was very good at it! He would teach our classes tricks and we even had a kendama club! I thought this video was very entertaining, it must take a lot of hard work and practice to be able to do tricks like that so quickly. 

私はEast Asian Cultures Day Eventにけん玉をしました。けん玉がとくいじゃないです。

I am definitely not the person to go to if you want to learn kendama, but I enjoy watching tricks!

ありがとうございます！

Blog 5: 先週末！

 先週末ミシガン市に帰りました。母とえいがを見ました。それから、土曜日に母とおばさんとふたつをいとこと晩御飯んを食べました。日曜日に洗濯をしました。それから、学校に帰りました。私はかなしいですが、だいじょぶです！

Blog 4: Japanese Video

 こんにちは！ For my second Japanese exposure video I watched another music video. This song is called 'Perfect World' and it is from a K-pop group named Twice. Although they are a K-pop group they have many Japanese songs and even make Japanese versions of the songs they release in Korean. Three of the members are Japanese so they promote in Japan often and have a large Japanese fanbase. I have been a fan of Twice for almost 7 years now but I had never watched the music video but I thought it fit the song very well, this is my favorite Japanese song of theirs so I had very high expectations going in. I highly recommend watching the video and listening to their music. 

ありがとうございます！

Blog 2: Japanese Video

 こんにちは！The video I chose for this post is a music video from the Japanese boy group &Team. I listen to a lot of K-pop and they are under a Japanese branch of a company called HYBE that a lot of K-pop groups are under and that is how I came across them. I've listened to this song before but I had never really watched the music video, but I truly enjoyed it. I find the song very catchy and if you choose to listen to it I hope you do as well!
