Japan Blog 39 (December 21, 2008) woah, hisashiburi^^

I SAW THE NEW BLEACH MOVIE, FADE TO BLACK!!!!

Last weekend was really busy for me.
Wows, but gosh, so much fun ^_^

Uwah!
It's been freaking 11 days since my last post! Grawr. Responding to all those gazillion YouTube messages, IchiRuki fans sure can be crazy haha.

Well, two Fridays ago during our last class, all the new exchange students that came came to our classroom to give a short presentation about their country. I really enjoyed talking to the Australian and Fillapean girls. I got a picture with the 2 Australian girls that is now my default. And I learned something, I always thought Australia was all one state (someone told me that I think) and it is actually made of 6 states/regions. I learn something new everyday. So, yeah. that was two Fridays ago. I'm seriously behind on this haha. But damn, my weekend was busyyyy last week. So, Saturday I went to Kyuudou Club as normal and then I went to karaoke with Ikumi and Ayami. There goes 600 yen. Did you know that if you're a high school student you get a discount off it?? All you have to do is show your school id which I'm now glad to have ^_^

It was a lot of fun though. I sang some English songs ^_^ I was surprised they had Paramore songs avaliable. Well, they only had "CrushCrushCrush" and "Misery Buisness" but still. I'm a hell of a lot better at being able to "try" to keep up with reading the songs now, unlike that first time. But I have no trouble keeping up with Perfume's songs. Me and Ikumi did a duet with their "Love the World". Karaoke takes up a hell of time that's for sure. We got there at what, 2:30ish and I didn't get home till like 7:30. We would have been there longer too if it wasn't for them having to take the train home. But fun. I love karaoke.

That following Sunday was the busiest. I had plans to go to Mito (960 yen) to learn a dance. Yeah. I didn't think I'd EVER be doing that in my life. I hooked up with Mizuki, Ayaka, Mari, and Sayaka and we went to some dance studio to learn EXILE's "Choo Choo TRAIN" dance. All of us except Mizuki and 2 of her friends (we didn't know them) didn't know where we were going and this was our first time. At the dance studio was some 16 year old boy, Mizuki's friend. Ayaka, Mari, and Sayaka pretty much knew a lot of the dance, I knew NOTHING. So, even though I tried to followed along with that guy teaching us it (Mizuki and her 2 friends were working on some other dance) I couldn't really remember it. I can't remember it even now. It's sooo hard and you easily get tired. That guy was AMAZING. He knew a whole bunch of dances too, including some dance to Emenem's "Lose Yourself" song (I didn't even know there was a dance). He started playing a lot of his songs, I was surprised I still knew the words to like "Without Me", I was singing along. I'm really glad I went though. I had fun just trying. I came home and Ai's just looking at me then she finally asks me to dance. Pfft! I remember NOTHING! I didn't dance for her. I showed her the video of them instead. I haven't been able to post that on YouTube yet but I'll get to it sometime during my winter vacation (which starts Tuesday^^). So yeah, I did that in the morning of Sunday. I then planned to meet up with a friend from Kyuudou so I had to leave the studio early.

I went and met up with Misaki back at the station. She brought a friend along and we went to the movie theater and saw Bleach 3: Fade to Black!!! (1,000 yen) Oh my god, I was jumping up and down I was sooo freaking excited!! When I was in my seat waiting for it to start I just wanted to scream. This was the 2nd day of it's release ^_^ This movie was like a wish-come-true for all IchiRuki fans. It was just screaming Ichi's hidden love for her. And I heard that Kubo (the author of the Bleach) actually HELPED with this movie when he didn't for the other two. He's hinting. And he's making me more happy. And I'm just sooo freaking happy I saw it. It was worth it. And students get discounts at the movie theater as well if you show your id, it's cool. But what's stupid here though also, is that if you go to the movies with a group of people it's cheaper than if you went alone. They said if you're with like 2 other people your ticket is 1,000 yen but if you're alone it's like 1,500 yen. How gay. But I posted a video on YouTube giving a review and it's the most views I have on a video. All the IchiRuki fanatics swarmed in haha. Around 1,650 views. Amazing. But I don't say what it's about just 'cause some people hate spoilers. If you want a summery I'll tell you though. I understood what happened, it's just some of the conversations my Japanese wasn't great to understand. Great movie though ^_^ I want to see it again.

The exchange students left our school on Monday.
I got a present from my aunt for Christmas of a singing, dancing penguin. I brought it to school on Wednesday and it got everyone singing Jingle Bells. Monday the English Club invited me to their Christmas party. Something I haven't done in awhile: cut snowfakes. It seemed like the members of the club (I was surprised there were at least 10) didn't know how to make them. Seeing Yano-sensei put on a santa beard was funny. I don't have a picture but Nora does and she's making me a cd of them soon. So, be paticent for the asian Santa picture haha. Then we had Christmas cake. That's the thing here in Japan. Christmas cake. But that's all there is to celebrating it. I even keep forgetting it exists. The only thing reminding me is because Tonpi's birthday is the day after. I even have Kyuudou on Christmas. heh, It's just going to be a normal day. I like that.

Thursday I saw Japanese kill.
I didn't even think I'd ever have to disect while I was here. It's only to be expected since we have Biology, but we have soo many English classes and soo few of other classes I didn't think we would. Well, it wouldn't have been as bad if the thing was already dead. And it wasn't technally "disecting". It was impossible to disect this thing even if we wanted to. It was a really really tiny red worm with a black head. We were told to pull it's head off. I can't kill something. Kanako was next to me and she's like, "you can do it, Tasha". No I couldn't. I was trying to get people to do it for me haha. Kanako was about to but then the teacher did it. That poor worm. If I have to disect, I'm not killing it. No way. I don't care what it is. I was surprised to see some people, Rina for example, almost having fun. haha Rina, the murderous Japanese. haha.

Then I spent today and yesterday going to Kyuudou. Oh, but before I'm done I'll add this. So, I was at Kyuudou on Friday and I always ride my bike back with Ikumi, Misaki, and Akane. They decided to stay later than normal after club for some unknown reason. I have to drop my bike off at the school then take the bus home. The school gate was locked by the time I got there so I couldn't drop my bike off. It was almost 8 at night. I got stuck riding that god damned bike all the way home. There's a hill involved with returning home. It was hell. I walked and rode, me becoming exausted. I didn't get home till almost 8:30. Then since I had club the next day I was stuck riding that bike to club. The way to the school is an even BIGGER hill. I walked and rode. That's only to get to school. And remember the distance to my house to the school is 30 mins walking. To get to the club from the school that's about a 10 min. bike ride. I wanted to die when I reached the dojo (the Kyuudou place). My legs were seriously ready to spaz out if I had to ride anymore.

So yeah. Think I pretty much covered what happened in those 11 days. I also started to read the Bleach mangas ^_^ Akane has them and she's letting me borrow them. I can't understand half of the conversations (thank god I watched the anime how long ago) but I'm amused at just reading it. It sounds so much better when the charaters are speaking the Japanese in my head (I may be crazy but it feels like that. Like, when I read it in English the English dubb voices come in my head, but now in Japanese it's the originals). Anyway, I like reading it, not just looking at the pictures^^

By the way for those who haven't check out my YouTube lately. I have like 4 new videos up (I'm not going to post the links). 3 are from Kyuudou Club and one is my review of the Bleach movie. If you wanna meet my Kyuudou friends check out the videos. My favorite is the 3rd one. It's boring for the first 2min.30secs. but then I talk to everyone and I found it funny especially when Ami and Nozomi screamed at the camera after they realized I knew Bleach haha.
