    Why did I even try.

    Song Story ds106


    Back in 2002.
    I was in 4th grade.

    It is 2011.
    I am 19.

    My greatest and darkest history.


    Back then, my friends and I were really into this girls group.
    called モーニング娘。 (morning musume, morning girls)

    ((Thinking about it now,
    they were like AKB.
    But a little bit different.))

    I really liked them.
    I don't know why.

    But we were little kids.
    We envied these shiny girls.

    Back then, we were always talking about them.

    My mother knew how much I liked them.

    One day, she brings me this letter
    that says that I passed the paper screening of the audition
    for kids group (called Hello Project) of MorningMusume.

    One of my friends who sent her paper also passed.

    So.
    I went to the audition.

    On the letter, it said that
    there is going to be singing and dancing test.
    And to wear something that is easy to move.

    I knew what I wanted to sing.
    It was one of the newest songs they released
    and I liked it very much.

    However, I didn't know what to wear.

    My mother told me to wear something good-looking and cute.

    BUT
    it said "wear something that is easy to move".

    For me,
    good-looking (formal) + cute (skirt) = school uniform

    My mother rejected my idea.

    So, I decided to wear "something easy to move"
    which was

    my basketball uniform.

    My mother rejected again.

    But I was like "No no no!"
    since I heard from my grandmother that audition = battle.

    And there I was.
    Among all other girls who are wearing
    stage costumes of MorningMusume shrunken to their size,
    really frilly skirts,
    cool looking pants, ...

    I was there,

    with my basketball uniform that says
    "Jaguars 7" on front and "Kino 7" on the back.

    My friends were like ".....haha"

    This was the song I sang for the singing test.

    I think this is a great song.
    I think this song cheers you up.

    However, when I listen to this song.
    I remember the loneliness at the really crowded place.
    I remember the cold smile on my friend's face.

    But I do not regret!

    It was such a great experience.
    I will never forget that day.

    DS106#5-WebAssignment-Google Translate Fail

    by
    This is my last blog post for ds106...I have chosen topic from Web section, and chosen "Google Translate Fail". The reasons I have chosen this topic is because I have been thinking that Google Translator is suck for long time, and I hardly use google translator in my daily life. Anyway, I will show you how stupid google translator is...


    I first put famous word from Japanese Animation, "One Piece", into Google Translator.


    I put “海賊王に俺はなる”(Kaizoku ou ni ore wa naru) which is the famous word that Luffy who is the protagonist of One Piece says in the story.  The proper translation of this sentence is "I will be a king of pirates".



    OK...I will put it into Google translator....

    1)海賊王に俺はなる→I will pirate king




    um...????
    the english does not really make sence...it actually need "be" between "will" and "king".

    OK....then..I will put "I will pirate king" into Google translator and translate English to Japanese.

    2)I will pirate ing →私は海賊れます(watashi wa kaizokuouremasu)

    What????
    This translation does not make any sence...!! First of all, you need to put  "にな" between "王" and "れます".
    海賊王(king of pirate) is noun, but somewhat Google translate recognize "king of pirates" as verb.

    I think the reason why Google translator could not translate correct is because the word "海賊王に俺はなる" has different gramatical order from English.


    I recommend all of you guys to put some interesting Japanese words or words from anime or somewhere to put into Google translator, and Google translator make you fun!!

    Fan Fiction Picture

    by
    This ds106 assignment is called "Fan Fiction Picture" and we have to take a picture to describe our favourite song or movie or tv show. I chose the song Mr. Saxobeat and tried to take a picture that would give an image of "Mr.Saxobeat"




    I know it's not a real saxophone but it was the closest this I could find at school.

    Here is the song if you haven't heard it before.
