There was a Kamito/Kanae collab three years ago. Kamito is a Kanae fanboy, imagine getting to play with your favorite streamer. Ah, hilarious.

Pitch accent practice with コツ both days, and broke it up a bit with two episodes of Frieren today. If I’m going to watch more than 1 episode every 2 weeks, it’s going to end up with my anime progress way ahead of the IMC manga progress, but I’m not so worried about plot spoilers as it’s one of the few manga I’ve read in English before learning Japanese, so I’ve already read up to chapter 90 something two years ago (although I’m sure there’s details I’ve forgotten).

Watched ep 9 of Spy x Fam season 2.

I think if I were to take the N1, one of my biggest points I can improve on is everything related to numbers and exact time. Days, hours, minutes. I zone out immediately and nothing sticks when I hear more than one digit at a time.

Luckily there are some resources for that:

Good Morning Call, and I found a hilarious series on Netflix called Grown Enough. It’s about Japanese toddlers going on errands by themselves.

I’ve been neglecting intensive listening, so over the next week I’m gonna aim for half an hour per day.

WHEN IN DOUBT, LAMP IT OUT!

It’s getting warmer, so I had to break out the Lamp songs that make me think of summer sunshine. Misty Town, Love in the Afternoon, and From the Midnight Shoreline were my picks for listening practice. :sunny:
