All it did today was rain, rain, rain. To top off it off, I forgot my keys at school, luckily Takahashi sensei was still there to bring them to me. He's definitely one of my dawgs!
At school today...still grading the 8th graders. But we had the 9th grade elective class today and had them do "Show and Tell". This one girl named Haruka totally baffled Takahashi sensei and I as well as the rest of the class. She was born in Germany and lived there for 8 years, so her English is by far, the best of any student @ Nanabayashi. If I were to close my eyes and just listen, I wouldn't be able to tell if she was a Japanese student!
In Japan, if you could come up with a catchy theme/slogan, you're going to be on every TV station. Right now, one famous duo is these guys called Testu and Tomo. Testu is always dressed up in a red jumpsuit and Tomo in a blue one. Their catchy slogan is "Nan de darou" (pronounced 'Nan day darow'). The have this funky dance and their little verses are some of the funniest things that I've seen in Japan. On one TV program tonite, they did their worldwide version in Spanish, Korean, Russian with the appropriate modified dances to match. They never cease to amaze me with their original style!!
Another show that is totally amusing is London Hearts. It's another duo who has these hidden camera situations, kinda like the Jamie Kennedy show. But this show has a little more Japanese flair to it, which I think makes it even funnier. Part of today's show had to do with being a "su ke be" or pervert. They would have this whole restaurant rigged w/hidden cameras and have this girl, rigged w/an earpiece being coached by the duo. They would start off with 1000000 yen and everytime the guy would take a look at the girl, the money decreases. It's pretty much a competition to see how long the guy can go before losing all of his "money". One catch to the show is the famous 3 count, which occurs when the guys stares for 3 seconds straight. When that happends, the guy automatically loses. Today's show seemed like a wrestling match with many "almost 3 counts!". But the funny thing is when the guys loses all of his money, the duo cues the girl to leave while cussing the guy out for staring at her too much. Then the duo comes out from the back and surprises the guy and then places this big ol sticker on his head. I guess you guys just have to see it first-hand...
A show that's on right now is showing these ladies and seeing how much their wardrobe costs. The last lady's wardrobe equaled 8320000 yen, which roughly comes out to be about $65,000!!! What kind of crap is that!
But I must say that the highlight of today was getting an email from my big bro Russ. It's the first time that I've heard from him since coming to Japan. His email came w/an attachment and after it finally loaded (yes, I'm still using 56k right now!) the picture was an ultrasound of the 3 month old fetus!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! It definitely brightened up my day!
Well...I'm a little tired right now, so I'm gonna call it a night.
