Winter song
Kanji writing
Origami
Winter song
The fifth song was not available in my country! So I ended up watching this live performance. My goodness… What a voice! I couldn’t catch any words for the first time cause I was just so focused on her singing. I also think it’s more difficult to recognize words cause she prolongs a lot of syllables in the song.
I looked up the song after and found it’s the ending theme song of Sword Art Online Season 2? I’ve seen some posters for it at Book Off and some other shops and was curious, but never watched the anime. And then I read that it started in 2012. Wowwww. That’s crazy. I guess they’re still churning out episodes until now? I probably won’t watch since I already have too much to catch up on!
Kanji writing
Decided to do two 5 stroke kanji today because the origami challenge today was fairly easy and quick and someone else’s choice had caught my eye because it’s in my list of leeches!
Words of interest for 他 not in older posts:
- 他力「たりき」outside help, savation by faith
- 他生「たしょう」previous existence, future existence
- 他界「たかい」death, the next world; to pass away, to die
Words of interest for 永 not in older posts:
- 永眠「えいみん」 eternal sleep, death
- 末永く「すえなが」forever, everlastingly, for many years to come
I seem to have a theme in my words of interest. 
Origami
No Japanese language notes on origami today except related to our origami teacher. I noticed it in the previous videos but just wanna say, this lady is so good at folding and so fast!! I keep having to rewind so I can follow. Even for this simple envelope! 
Hoping tomorrow’s toy is not as hard as the first!

@deliana88 thanks for the references for Love Live. Not sure if I have time to play any time soon, but I do like rhythm games and will take note of it!! Thanks for the songs so far, by the way. I’m really enjoying discovering japanese songs.
@omk3 @Beyond_Sleepy @Midnightblue you all have so much courage to write freely without the practice lines! Well done! I think I’ll do the same for tomorrow’s kanji. But I realized it will just be getting harder from here on with the number of strokes also getting higher… 
I thought it was going to be by ordered by difficulty level as well. So I was really shocked by Day 2! But thank you for these links! I’m really warming up to ばあばーさん’s voice. I wish we could somehow send her photos of our creations by the end of this as a thanks.
