My Favorite Song in Japanese (REPOST! ORIGINAL RANDOMLY DELETED)

I absolutely adore Gurren Lagann. It's a bit wacky and over the top, but I can't help loving everything about it. The music and dialouge really gets you excited and ready to take on anything! I can't mention Gurren Lagann without tipping my hat to Sorairo Days. The song itself always gets me motivated to keep progressing forward. Anywho, enjoy the song!

P.S. Hopefully I learn enough Japanese to properly sing along :D

Arthur Binardさん

Overall I really enjoyed Arthur Binard's lecture. Walking in I didn't necessarily know what the lecture would be on, but it was immensely interesting. He moved from one point about hot candy to the significance of the mushroom cloud to the physics behind a nuclear bomb. There was a lot happening in that lecture, and yet it all made sense. He was able to connect these various points into a cohesive image. Also, I really enjoyed his enthusiasm throughout the lecture. He clearly enjoys translating and studying Japanese culture. I wish I could of seen his poetry reading and everyone who did go is very fortunate! 

Daily Routine

わたしは たいてい ごせんしちじ にねます。わたし を あびます。あさごはん を たべます。がっこうへいきます。しゅくだいをします。ごごじゅうにねません。

First Attempt at Typing Hiragana

はじめまして。わたしは さまじん です。さんねんせいです。アメリカじんです。せんこうぶんがくです。どうぞよろしく。

I was having a difficult time writing my last name in Katakana, so I opted for Hiragana.

I really really reallllly love Sorairo Days by Shoko Nakagawa. You can hear this song in Gurren Lagann. I usually play this song when I need some motivation in rugby or to do my homework (which is a lot). I admire a lot of the messages presented in Gurren Lagann and I feel this song truly expresses them. I'd love to learn the lyrics and actually sing them (despite my less-than-perfect signing voice). How can someone not feel like they can do anything while listening to this? Overall I think all the music in Gurren Lagann is amazing. I'm also gonna throw in a plug for Cowboy Bepop and Samurai Champloo's music. If you're ever interested in listening to some great music give them a try :D
