Have you ever thought about catching the latest Japanese music trends? If so, then the Oricon Charts will be your go-to. Like the billboard charts, Oricon Charts present to you the most popular Japanese songs every week or so, keeping you updated with J-pop. To start us off, here's one particularly catchy song that appeared on the charts a few weeks back.
Tokyo Girl by Perfume
I found this song super catchy and upbeat. Hopefully you will enjoy it as well!
From now on I will try to update this Oricon Chart series once every few weeks for some nice songs. Hope you enjoy!
On theme from this week's anime of the week, (should I abbreviate it aofw or is that too annoying?) this week's word is: love! A very simple word and often the first word Japanese learners learn to write. Why do you think that is? Hint: check the hiragana charts and remember it reads left upper corner to right bottom corner)
Imagine you are a girl going to a school that manufactures pop stars! Your job is to compose hits for the Japan’s most famous boys!! And then all of these boys fall in love with you. If this is your life, you may be Haruka Naname.
Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper(死神Shinigami) — a death personification similar to the Grim Reaper — from another Soul Reaper, Rukia Kuchiki. His newfound powers force him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife. Definitely give this one a watch!
Hi, readers! Happy Winterim! Whether you are in Japan or Nashville or anywhere in between for these three weeks most of the world seems to be very cold, and so that is our word!
