Introduction

-
こんにちわ, 

my name is Samuel lee and I'm a freshman from Seoul, South Korea, and I study Studio Art. 

I decided to start learning Japanese because I love Japan's culture, and want to learn to read and write Japanese. I always wanted to learn Japanese but my high school didn't have a Japanese course, so I enrolled when I found out Notre Dame had a course in Japanese.


P.S. Everyone wrote so much in their introduction, so I'll add some more information. Although recently I haven't been catching up to everything, I also like Manga and Anime (probably will know most if u talk about it), ( although I'm more of a Webtoon fan ), and Japanese songs. I went to international schools all my life, lived 3 years in Indonesia when I was 7-10, but otherwise I've lived in South Korea most of my life. I also want to visit Japan and am hoping I could study abroad there because I really enjoy Japan's culture!


Nice to meet you all!

    HI, Lee-san! Nice to meet you. I signed up for a Japanese class in my high school, but it was canceled because I was the only student. It's interesting to share a similar experience with you, lol^^

    That's so cool you lived in Indonesia for 3 years. Do you know words in Indonesian? (Though, that was awhile ago so I'm not sure if you'll remember them).

Bonus blog post #14 Day 5 in Japan: Shibuya

 On day 5, I went to Shibuya and spent my whole day there. I visited many places like a ramen store, Mandarake figure shop, Karaoke, Shibuya crossing, but today I wanted to introduce where I spent the most time in Shibuya, Shibuya Tower records. Below was Shibuya crossing in the morning and the way to Tower Records. It opened at 11 am and when I arrived at 10:40 there were already a lot of people waiting to go in. There were also booths where you could listen to the CD albums.  At night, I came back to Shibuya crossing and there were a lot of Street Perfomances Shibuya was really fun and one of my most favourite places in Japan! I hope to visit there next time aswell.

Blog post 9 : Dodgers Win the World Series!

Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the World Series title, with the excitement reaching all the way to Japan. Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s outstanding pitching and Shohei Ohtani’s impressive contributions were key to the Dodgers’ success, showcasing Japanese baseball talent on the grandest stage. In Game 2 of the series, Yamamoto made his World Series debut and delivered an exceptional performance, allowing only one hit over 6 1/3 innings to secure a 4-2 victory and put the Dodgers up 2-0 in the series. Meanwhile, Ohtani’s incredible skill and field presence throughout the series provided the Dodgers with essential momentum, helping to drive them toward victory. I was thrilled to hear about their win, as the results might have been different without these two players on the team. It was an exciting World Series and a proud moment for Japanese baseball fans—and even those new to the sport—to see them achieve such success on the world stage!

Blog Post #7

     Hello! Today, I want to share four newly released J-pop songs that I’ve been enjoying lately. Aside from Ren, whom I just discovered, these artists are ones I listen to regularly, and their new tracks have quickly become favorites. I tend to get bored with music easily, so I switch up my playlist often, but these songs feel fresh and catchy right now! Each one has a distinct genre, yet they all match my style perfectly. If you have some time to chill and relax, give them a listen! The lyrics are fantastic too, so I recommend looking them up—it really enhances the experience! Ren - Issai Gassai- れん - 一切合切 There's a very interesting lyric that goes: "Sorry to all my past lovers, but it was all a rehearsal to meet you." The phrase Issai Gassai Honmei means "with everything," and "kimi dake wo aishiteru" translates to "I love only you," which gives the song a powerful message about wholeheartedly loving your current partner, perhaps slightly...
