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.
