peace

Have you heard about Sasaki Sadako? May be you have heard about her, but her occurrence is very famous. Sadako was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima. She suddenly becomes sick at the age of twelve. She had hope. She believed” it is possible for me to get well. I will make a thousand paper cranes. But Sadako died, but many people remember her. They make cranes for her and for peace. It says that books about Sadako are published in over 30 countries, and then her story is known around the world. We call paper cranes sennmaduru千羽鶴.

This is the atomic bomb dome. Do you know what happened it? The exploded over it. About 130,000 people were killed by the bomb. That made sad. I think that we must never forget it!!! I wish for peace. Thank you for reading. See you.

Hello my friends!! Do you have friends? I have many friends!! Don’t worry!! Of course, you are my friends. Today I will talk about Japanese old clothe. Do you know this name of picture, and have you ever worn this? It is a dress, and it is very beautiful very much. All Japanese like it, especially Kyoto people love it. 芸者 have to wear this. It is a dress. We call a Kimono in Japanese. I think you wore when you had 七五三. 七五三 is event in Japan. 七五三　is the festival day for children aged seven, five, and three. And may be will wear it when we have a wedding and 成人式. 成人式 is coming of age-day. It has been worn since the Heian Period in Japan. Kimono has some different types. For example, 振袖、訪問着、黒留袖. These kimonos are made by specialists, but I hear specialists are decreasing recently, so we should wear kimono more! It is important for Japanese to protect our culture. There are many cultures in Japan(漫画, 相撲,芸者) we have to protect our cultures. Someday I want to wear kimono, and I want to undo girdle of kimono. I want to undo!!ほどきたい！！ I want to undo!!! ほどきたい！！I want to undo!!!!ほどきたい！！！Or I want to be undone by someone!!ほどかれたい！　Thank you for reading. See you.

My hobby is playing footsal. I like footsal very much, and I play it every day. Have you ever played footsal? Footsal is like soccer, but this is not soccer at all. First there are 11 members in soccer, GK (goal keeper), DF (defender), and MF (mead fielder) FW (forward). These are positions of soccer. There are only 5 members in footsal, Goreiro, FIXO, BAQUE, ALA, and PIVO. Soccer court size is 105M×68M. Soccer court is very large, but footsal court is very small. Footsal court size is 38×15.
It is so hard for me to play footsal because we have to keep moving for one hour. After I played footsal my weight always degree 2kg. I think it is the nicest diet all over the world. Footsal is very excited sport. Which do you like soccer or footsal? Someday I want to play footsal with you, so if you are interested in footsal, let’s play footsal together!!! Thank you for reading. See you!!

My part time job

My part time job is a reception clerk in onsenn(温泉) store. My onnsenn store name is 美人の湯(beautiful spa in English). 美人の湯　is the most famous onsenn in Osaka, and this store is very wonderful, because onsenn water(泉質) quality is very nice and very special type. Onsenn water of 美人の湯 is very slimy. When people take in Onsenn, people feel slimy and greasy. If you are take in 美人の湯 you are very beautiful and you rejuvenate.

Today I talk about Osaka culture; especially I would like to talk about Osaka inhabitants of the prefecture’s habits. There are a lot of funny habits and funny cultures in Osaka.
First of all, I would like to tell about Osaka. There are 12,116,540 people in Osaka, and the governor is Mr.Hashimoto. Osaka is very urban city and very characteristic city. By the way, does your city have prefectures habit (県民性)?　Prefectures habit(県民性) means the people of a prefecture’s nature, act, habit. Osaka people have many prefectures habits, so I want you to learn about Osaka.


1 Mother of Osaka（大阪のおばちゃん） is the most strongest in the world!?

Do you know about Mother of Osaka? Mother of Osaka is very loud voice and so powerful. Woman of Osaka become mother of Osaka (大阪のおばちゃん).Obachan likes showy clothes, so they wear animal clothes (tiger face or panther etc) .there are many obachan with tiger face in Osaka. Obachan is sure to beat down anywhere anytime. Obachan is stingy person, and they like cheap stuff, so it is religion for them to beat down stuff. There is not the person who can beat obachan in the world!!!

2 When Osaka people hear siren (patrol car, fire engine, ambulance), they are sure to say…….

When Osaka people hear siren (patrol car, fire engine, ambulance), they are sure to say” Patrol car is coming to pick you up!! Of course it is joke and it is very strange for not Osaka people, but we don’t wonder about this situation. It is every incident for us!!

『In the case of the siren of the police car』
Pi~po~pi~po♪(the siren of the police car)
A) Hey you!!!!! Police men are bound to catch you!!! Run away from police!! Good luck.
B) Ok!! See you~!
『In the case of the siren of the fire engine』

Pu~pu~tinn tinn tinn♪（the siren of the fire engine）
A) Hey you!! May be your house is burning now? The fire engine is going toward your home!!

『In the case of the siren of the ambulance』
Pi~po~pi~po♪( the siren of the ambulance)
A) There is a crazy man (=friend) here!! Please take him!!


I think that these are very funny jokes, and” Patrol car is coming to pick you up!!” is
set phrase in Osaka. Osaka people always have a feeling of enjoyment; accordingly
Osaka people always are joking.


3 Osaka people don’t like Tokyo people!?

Somehow, Osaka people don’t like Tokyo people. Tokyo pays no attention to Osaka,
but Osaka people don’t like. For example “Tokyo people aren’t funny and they put on airs.” In the first place Osaka is totally different from Tokyo.

4 Osaka people say 『but I don’t know』in the last of the conversation.

Osaka people say 『but I don’t know(しらんけど)』in the last of the conversation. Osaka people like to chat anytime anywhere. They chat with friends too long, and Osaka people are very kind, so if there is something that you want to know, Osaka people teach it kindly. Bur in the last of the conversation is 『but I don’t know』

For example

A)Do you know when is the examination?
B)Yes, of course!! On March 27th. At AM11:00 room number is 2113,but I don’t know.
A) you don’t know?　You said “Yes of course,” don’t you?

B) Yes I know, but I don’t know.

Why Osaka people say “I don’t know.” in the last of conversation? , because they don’t want to have responsible thing, so they explain something for long time, but they said “but I don’t know” in the last of the conversation. But I don’t know….

5 Osaka people score on the contents of conversation of another person .

For example

(They are in school. A is from Osaka. B is not from Osaka.)
A) Hello shohei! How are you?
B) I`m fine thank you. What are you doing now?
A)I`m studying English now. How about you?
B)I`m studying math!! By the way, I have funny story. Do you want to know?
A)yes!! I want to know about this story.
B) when I sneezed yesterday, my one oh my ribs broke in this accident. It is funny story, isn’t it?
A)well…your story marks is thirty out of a hundred. This is not so funny.

Osaka people score on the contents of conversation of another person. Osaka people like to talk, and they are good at talking very well, so they hard on not funny people.
It is important for Osaka people to talk very well, but this is annoying for not Osaka people. I am afraid that they have caused not Osaka people much trouble.

Finally, Osaka and Osaka people are very precious things for me. Takoyaki, Hanshin Tigers, Tuutennkaku, Obachan, Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, comedian, kind person, and funny person. There are a lot of cultures in Osaka. Osaka people have strange customs, but this is exactly Osaka!!

I chose the question “What are the most interesting new words and where do they come from?” Now there are many words and many letters (for example Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, and English, the Korean alphabet, etc). By the way do you know Gal? Gal means a young woman blooming with health and youth in Japanese. There is a lot of Gal in Shibuya. Gal likes fashion things and likes making independent culture, so they have individual clothes, hair, and language.

Gals are making young Japanese culture, and are making Japanese, in other words Gal language (ギャル語). Gal language means the language is used by gals from 1990 downward in Shibuya(渋谷). Gal languages are very strange for Japanese people, because we can’t understand it.
]
For example (A-boy). Do you know it? May be you know B-boy. B- boy means bad boy. B is bad. Right then what is A? Asia? No!! Animal? no！A is Akiba. Akiba boy→A-boy. A-boy means a person such as Akiba type (Otaku). That is to say A-boy is Otaku!

Next Gal word is GHQ. Do you know GHQ? GHQ is General Headquarters（総司令部） in common(for example Douglas MacArthur), but gal people never understand true mean(General Headquarters). GHQ means Go Home Quickly, in other words GHQ means the person who go home quickly as soon as a class was finished.

Next word is cho very goo(チョベリグ). ちょ is super, ベリ is　very, グ is good, that is to say wonderful!!! When gals feel so happy, they say チョベリグ～～～！and when feel so bad, they say チョベリバ～～～！　チョベリバ means super very bad. But modern gals people never use these words. These are dead languages now. If you said these words, you will become チョベリバman.

Gal likes abbreviation very very much!! They used many abbreviations.
BK＝bari(very) kimoi(disgusting) M face is BK.
OD=onara(gas)deru(fart) I can’t stop OD!!
PK=Pantu(pants)kuikonderu(stick into hip). I ache anus because my pant is PK.
KZ=karesi(boy friend)zeturinn(unequalled). Are you KZ? I’m not KZ,but I think all man are KZ!!
Finally, gals language is difficult for us and is very wild language, but I think that this is very grate abilities, because it is difficult for us to make new words or new language culture. We have to accept new Japanese culture or new words, then Japanese language grew up more and more.
