Week 90: J-pop

Happy New Year!

I don’t have a lot to say for this post. 2015 was a year full of surprises. It started out pretty bad, but turned out to be a pretty good year. There were a lot of challenges, some of which I’ve overcome. I’ve gotten a lot better at writing Kanji. I’ve improved my reading a fair bit (mainly hiragana and katakana). I was able to start playing my trombone again. And was I able to be more productive overall. I’m nowhere near satisfied with my performance. I never will be, but I’ll try to be content and steadily improve.

It’s hard to believe this is my 90th post. Thanks for all your support, guys. Believe it or not, this blog has really helped me to improve my writing and express myself. It gives me a place where I can just be myself and talk about anything I need to. I may not know what’s bothering me until I write a post. I may also still not know after, but I always feel a little bit better.

Now, where do we go from here? I’m currently working on a gaming console for Junior design that I haven’t put enough priority on. The one aspect of prioritizing my tasks I have trouble with is duration. I’ll tell myself that I’m going to do Japanese in the morning and play my horn in the afternoon. There’s time in between unless I spend too much time doing my Japanese. When I actually work on the console, I pretty much do nothing else that day. So I’ve still got some issues to work out, but I’ll get there eventually.

I’ll either get a new microphone or keep recording at Justin’s. I’m going to do better in school. I’m going to try to continue my Japanese lessons and play my trombone during the school year. I’m going to try to get an internship, so I can gain useful experience and hopefully money over the summer. I’ve never been good with change. I’m better now, but there are some things I still don’t want to change; like having my laptop on the kitchen table instead of in my room (I don’t want to be hulled up in my room all day). Changes can help make improvements, but I think I might not see how they make those improvements.

There’s a lot of stuff I want to do, but I can’t do it all at once. I need to understand myself better. I do some things that I really don’t understand. And I don’t like things I don’t understand. Everything should just make sense, I guess. I know that I’m still learning and still maturing. I’m a lot better than I was a year ago. Life would be unbearably boring if there were no challenges. I’ll always strive to do my best, but sometimes I give myself unnecessary obstacles.

Now, how do we bring in the New Year?

san, ni, ichi

I’m calling the STAR RISE!

STAR RISE (the credits are messed up) by Ryou Hirohashi, Megumi Toyoguchi, Sachiko Kojima, Houko Kuwashima, Rina Satou is the ending for Bamboo Blade

Evan introduced me to Bamboo Blade, which is the only anime I’ve watched with Evan. He moved before we finished it. So, I watched it with Josh. I think Bamboo Blade was the first anime that I watched with Josh besides One Piece.

But this song holds a special place in my heart. After Evan and I finished the first episode, this song came on. Evan and I started grooving to it. When I came home, I made sure to download it. It’s my ringtone for Evan, if he ever calls. When Evan came to town, we blasted this song out the speakers of the car with the windows down. That was a great day.

Bamboo Blade is a fun slice-of-life comedy about a teacher who runs the school’s Kendo club making a bet that his girl’s Kendo team can beat his senpai’s, the payout being a year’s supply of sushi. It’s got a lot of charm and humor. It actually teaches you a little bit about Kendo, which I want to learn. And according to Evan, it’s got a pretty good dub. I’ve got good memories of this show with Evan and Josh.

And I said I don’t have a lot to say. Baka Ore!

- Some of these names should look familiar, but I’d be beating a dead horse to point them out.

Good news, this is last day until our data resets. So, I’ll be able to use the internet again without worry.

Lastly, I started watching Yoroiden Samurai Trooper (Eng. Ronin Warriors) without subtitles (raw). I watched it in the car on a 9-hour round trip. I get sick reading in the car, but I really wanted to watch Yoroiden Samurai Trooper. So, I decided to watch it without English subtitles. Besides, the subtitles are a little inconsistent. I’m almost to the point that I was at when I watched it subbed. Arago and the Yon Mashou say “Kowappa” a lot.

Once I finish Yoroiden Samurai Trooper, I’ll watch all of the Pretty Cure series raw. It’ll be fun and very beneficial. Now, I just need some manga.

If you have any questions or requests, please let me know.

Let’s make 2016 the best year so far!

ハッピーニューイアー!

- Chris
