Blog assignment #6 by Mon Oct 6 (Sec 1) / Tue Oct 7 (Sec 2)

こんにちは！

This is another Japanese video watching blog!

• Find a Japan-related video online (YouTube etc.) and write your brief comment, thoughts, and/or opinion in English.   

The video can be Japanese song(s), Japanese YouTuber's show, (part of) a Japanese film (or TV show, anime episode, etc), a travel vlog in Japan, a documentary on Japan (history, culture, people, nature, etc.). Try to find one in Japanese language with (or without) subtitles so that you get as much Japanese exposure as possible. One of the main goals of this assignment is for you to familiarize yourself with Japanese sounds, rhythm, intonation, cultural gestures, and mannerisms, rather than comprehending the meaning. The other goal, of course, is for you to explore things Japanese. So, have fun exploring!
