Japanese Video Game Music

Many of my friends love　にほんごの ビデオゲーム.　Like ゼルダ、ファイナルファンタジー、or ポケモン。And even if they do not, they enjoy the beautiful music from video games.

Example, one time I played some songs from games on the piano, my mother overheard and asked me,
"What is that song from?  It's so beautiful."
"It's from a video game!"
"No way!"
 I played for her this one.

Final Fantasy 4.  Theme of love. Uematsu Nobuo.
月の明り －ファイナルファンタジーIV 愛のテーマ－
植松 伸夫 

The にほんじん who make the music all have unique stories and I learned some from this documentary series. 植松 伸夫 (Uematsu Nobuo) Interview starts at 3:58.

My favorite JPop song from a video game is:
宇多田 ヒカル. Simple and Clean.

PE Goals

Goals:
I want to improve my speaking of long vowels and my speed.  I also want to improve my comprehension of listening, especially with long vowels.

• Vowels: to pronounce the correct length of vowel.
• Consonants: to not over-pronounce consonants and nasals.
• Precision and speed:  to pronounce quickly and precisely.

Activities:

• Do shadowing 10-20 minutes a day by using Speak Everywhere or from watching Japanese anime on my own.  Sing along with my favorite Japanese songs everyday in the shower or while walking. 
• Go to Japanese language table every week (I love food).
• Visit  しばたせんせい の office hour one a week with a friend (Cortes-さん).
• (/^▽^)/
• commit Japanese sound system to muscle memory.

Dance Transcends all cultures.  Here is the Japanese style.

Always amazing.

Why I Choose To Study Japanese

Some people may find it strange that someone my age, a Junior, is starting Japanese now instead of when I was a freshman or sophomore.  The answer is that I have switched from being pre-med to computer science and it was difficult to plan.

I am very excited to learn Japanese.  I have always enjoyed the culture and the people.  My family is Taiwanese and my grandparents learned Japanese when they were very young, and still speak it to this day.

I am interested in Japanese music and art.  I like video games, and some Japanese composers have many beautiful video game soundtracks.

I am also a break-dancer, and Japan has many of my favorite B-Boys and B-Girls.  Here is a link to an interview of my favorite dancers, who are Japanese B-girls.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s20JicVL_hU

As for a Japanese phrase I like, I have chosen はじめまして?  Because I like the way it sounds and its meaning.

I am nervous for the school year to start.  However I am also very excited.  It is difficult to describe in words.  I am nervous for the fast pace of class and of life, and I yearn for home.  But, this is also a very nice place with very nice people.  Many people are willing to help.

Thank you for reading.
