~ ほうが ! ~


こんいちわみなさん!

 
  りんぐ!


               かんせん!

You have to admit that にほんご Scary Movies are the best scary movies. So far, I've only see いちにほんごscary movie and it's called Infection (かんせん), and it's pretty darn freaky. The setting of the movie takes place in a びよいんand so forth. If you have the chance to go search for it, then go right ahead and watch it...alone in the dark. (Ech, I wouldn't really recommend watching it alone or in the dark; it gets too freaky and then you can't even go to the おてあらいby yourself. Haha)

にほんご Scary Movies, otherwise as known as J-Horror, tend to emphasize on psychological horror and tension building (anticipation), mainly involving ghots and poltergeists. Poltergeistsare ghosts that make noises, rumble, and move things through the air.

I am sure everyone has seen the movie, The Ring (the American version) before. It wasn't that scary. It was a remake of the にほんご version of the 1998 film called Ringu(りんぐ). It brought the image of ゆうれい to Western popular culture for the first time, although the image has existed in Japan for centuries. Yūrei are にほんご ghosts, ones who have been bound to the physical world through strong emotions which do not allow them to pass on. Depending on the emotion that binds them, they manifest as a particular type of ghost.

Most common to J-Horror is the おんりょ, a ( ゆうれい ), bound by a desire for vengenace. They are generally female, although male yūrei do exist. They wear white clothing, which is the color of funeral garb in にほん。 They have long, often unkempt black hair, which comes from Kabui theater where each character has a particular type of wig that identifies them to the audience.

そしてそわたしは getting a bit freaked out as I'm writing this entry. Haha Yeah, I get scared easily but the movies are just too irresistable!

クレヨンしんちゃん! (Kureyon Shin Chan?)

おはようみなさん!

きょう I will be talking about a にほんご Anime series that I've loved ever since I was little. This Anime is ridiculously funny, cute, and pervy...haha. It really isn't made for little kids, even though it's a cartoon.

クレヨンしんちゃん (Kureyon Shin Chan?)

Kureyon/Crayon Shin-Chan, also known as Shin-Chan in the United States, is a Japanese manga and ANIME series written by Yoshito Usui. Crayon Shin-chan follows the antics of 5- year old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his parents, neighbors, and friends and is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, にほんご.

Just be aware of the vulgar things that Shin Chan does and say in the cartoon and don't watch it in front of little children!! Haha If you ever get to watch this cartoon, I hope you will like it as much as I do because it really is so funny and cute.

I believe some clips of this cartoon is available on Youtube, but I'm sure there are much better sites out there where you can watch this cartoon for a longer period of time instead of a 5 minute clip on Youtube.

More pictures and videos will be coming up...!

どうぞありがとございます!さようならみなさおん!

Always,
Pei です

わたしわ。。。

わたしはPeiです。わたしはいちねんせいです。たいわんからきました。わたしはげんきな。わたしのせんこうはけいざいがくです。

どぞよろしく!

えごでいいですか。

I am very excited to be taking this class because I've always wanted to learn how to speak and write Japanese. I am planning to study abroad in Japan and even plan to live in Japan in the future. Learning this new language will also be helpful for me in my career later on. This is the first time that I am learning Japanese so it is very difficult for me to learn everything in a limited amount of time. I'm also struggling to memorize all the vocabularies and the grammar. However, I do find this class scintillating and I hope to learn as much Japanese as possible.

Thanks for reading this!

Always,
Pei
