Back Number - 花束

...
それなら何回だって
何十回だって
謝るし感謝の言葉も
きっと忘れないから
君とならどんな朝も
夜も夕方だって
笑い合って生きて
いけるんじゃないかと思うんだよ

どう思う?これから2人で
やっていけると思う?
んんどうかなぁでも
とりあえずは
僕は君が好きだよ

How many times, how many many times?
I can't forget all the thankful, regretful words
If I'm with you I can live smiling
every morning, night and evening
That's what I think

What do you think? Can we be together?
Mmm dunno anyway for the moment
I love you

Students from Kanazawa! 歓迎(かんげい)する!

みなさんこんばんは、

Yesterday, I had a really cool opportunity to meet Japanese high school students from いずみがおかこうこう,  or Izumigaoka High School, from いしかわ、かなざわ (Ishikawa, Kanazawa). Before the meeting, I looked up where their high school was located:

I hope I got the school title correctly! It seems to be in the southern side of 金沢市, western coast of Japan.

There were about 40 students in total, and after a brief talk given by Makino sensee, we had a short time to converse with the students. I ate all my received snacks now (I regret not taking pictures), but they were so good and the students were so kind and easy to talk to despite the language barriers. Their abilities in English was really good to hear, and I was inspired to work harder on my own progress with their language. I wish the time to converse had been longer.

However simple the topics were, the conversations made me happy because in a short time of 4 weeks I have gained a new ability.

ラーメンが好きですか？

This blog is slowly getting taken over by food posts already...
ごめんなさい！

This 10 minute long documentary of a ramen business in Japan is very cool to watch:

日本の料理(りょうり - cuisine)が大好きですよ。私はラーメンを食べたい...

食べましょう！

こんにちは！

One of my closest friend really loves Japanese food, and he recommend I check out this Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/tastemade_japan/?hl=en

Some entries (click to zoom!):

And some more...

And some more...

If you have an Instagram and love Japanese food as much as I do, definitely follow it for daily recipe and tasty Japanese foods~

On another note, we learned a few verbs for the first time in class today, including:

• たべます -- to eat
• ねます -- to sleep
• のみます -- to drink
• よみます -- to read
• おきます -- to get up
• べんきょうします -- to (do) study
• きます -- to come
• いきます -- to go

among others. With the introduction of verbs, we can say so much now~

The title of my post 食べましょう has a kanji 食 (meaning food) which replaces the た in たべます. The latter part, ましょう translates to "Let's..." in English, so together, we have:

食べましょう！＝Let's eat!

Hence the content of the Instagram page~
