  Hello, today I want to showcase a major Korean YouTube channel Ootb's program "Jeon Gwa Ja" led by main MC Lee Chang Sub (Idol group B2B's member) where he tries to review every major in the world. In this video, he goes to Osaka Daigaku in Osaka Japan and explores one of the three campuses. He attends the university like how normal student would and showcases the daily lives of Osaka Daigakusei students, after meeting the head president and learning about the tuition, he goes to take classes, eats lunch at the dining hall with other students, rates the food, attends Circles (club activities) and interviews current students to show the viewers authentic life in Osaka Daigaku, and I thought it was really helpful for me to understand life in Osaka Daigaku and what you can do in Osaka in general. The video has English subtitles, people speak in Japanese, and Lee Chang Sub is very funny, so you should definitely check it out!  This video already has 3.5 Million views so...

Back Number: Takane no Hanakosan

Hey I wanted to introduce this epic song by Back Number It's called Takaneno Hanakosan which roughly translates to "unattainable person". Probably one of their most iconic songs, it just popped into my featured list. It's one of those songs that you keep coming back, listen too much and get bored and listen once in a while again and find it amazing. (endless loop) It has an overall theme of Kataomoi (片思い, unrequited love) in Japanese. All these 願い(ねがい Negai: wishes) that will never come true. How you wish the other person would magically like you,  etc... It's a bittersweet love song and the lyrics are so detailed in describing the patheticness(?) of the persona's thoughts that I really like as an introvert.    This was the only English lyric video that I could find that looked okay, sorry the quality isn't that good. I hope you get why I like Back Number through this video 😂😂.

Today I wanted to showcase one of my biggest interests, Japanese baseball. Although I do not know Japanese well enough to know the teams and players, I really admire the quality of Japan's baseball as they've been a long rival to Korea (now Japan is way ahead and Korea is falling behind in every aspect). Nonetheless, one of the reasons why Japan's baseball is so strong is due to its high school league. So many Japanese high schoolers want to win in the Koshien, and this makes the competition very intense. It's like a World Series stage for many Japanese high schoolers, ( as Ohtani said)  and many mangas and animes Touch, H2, MIX, and Diamond No Ace exist that prove how much Japanese people love baseball. While watching this video, I could relate to how hard these high schoolers worked to reach their dream of participating in this summer Koshien, and it really made me want to go visit a Koshien match in my lifetime.  P.S. The most recent Koshien was only a month ago, and...
