Just my kind of thing: practice reading through music. Joi-sensei gave us lyrics of the Ulfuls’ Waraereba. I’m putting the lyrics and the video here especially for Jakkii-san and Wain-san

とにかくわらえればさいごにわらえれば
なさけないかえりみちHAHAHAとわらえれば

こどものころからおなじおなじゆめばかりをみて
だけどいまになっておとなになってたちどまったりして
すべてがうまくいくはずそうしんじているのに
なぜかあせってぐらついてじたばたするけど

とにかくわらえればそらでもわらえれば

きょういちにちのおわりにHAHAHAとわらえれば

とにかくわらえればさいごにわらえれば
なさけないかえりみちHAHAHAとわらえれば

おまえをすきになってなにもかもがかわったよ
たあいのないえがおでおれをゆうきずける
ぶつかってばかりじゃだめでひいてばかりでもだめで
かなしけりゃなけばいいまたわらえるように

あきらめないにげたくない
じぶんをみうしないたくない
あせをかきはじをかきころがりつずける

むりしてもむちゃしても
かえられないおもいがある
そばにいてこのおれをみまもってくれるかい

だれもがみないつもみたされないおもいを
むねのおくにだいたままあるきつずけてゆく

とにかくわらればさいごにわらえれば
こたえのないまいにちにHAHAHAとわらえれば
とにかくわらえればさいごにわらえれば
なさけないかえりみちHAHAHAとわらえれば

とにかくわらえればとにかくわらえれば
とにかくわらえればとにかくわらえれば

“I wish I could go back to those fairy book tales
Forget the real world awhile
And seek the seas of the talking whales
A place of wishing wells and magic spells
Where everything starts out once upon a time
Long, long ago and ends happily ever after”


“Well, they try to see if you care
It’s just a matter of not begging for more
You know it’s really suicidal to just give in
With people you can never really be sure–”


“As we go on living
Each day we must tell ourselves
That we have to carry on
And every night as we lay down
And deliver our prayers
To live to see another day
But then down here, no one cares
And your troubles will be found
Buried six feet under the ground”


“Domo arigato/Toshiba adokodeska/Sashimi wasabe tempura/ Sayaka Koji Kabuto/ Yamaha Ajinomoto/Kita-kita sa Tokyo”
Assignment: Write the lyrics above in hiragana


*Eheads song of the day. It was supposed to be ESOTD, but I missed the “O” when I was typing my message to Ayer. He said ESTD sounded like some makamundong sakit, and he likes it. So ESTD it is.
How I wish my ESTD was “Sa Wakas” but the words do not apply to me yet. [...]


“Look forward to tomorrow but can I leave yesterday behind”
I told Tina that in anticipation of the Eraserheads’ reunion concert, I will be choosing an Eraserheads song, be it original or cover, every day until August 30th. The song will be based solely on whim (mine haha). Because it was raining yesterday, my choice was Eheads’ cover [...]
