Winter song
The ending of the video was kind of shocking to me!
Honestly haven’t been understanding any of the songs except for picking up a few words that sound familiar. And then also practicing reading while listening to the song again. So I think I’ll just note down phrases that struck me after reading the translation.
Today’s phrases:
- 季節が去って, 僕は大人になっていた「きせつがさって、ぼくはおとなになっていた」The seasons passed, and I’ve become an adult
- 無関心なふりして 「むかんしんなふりして」I’ve been pretending to be indifferent
Not so sure if the tenses are correct.

New vocab:
- 縁「ふち」edge
- 幅「はば」width
- 裏返して「うらがえして」flip over
The part when she says なかを広げていきます was so nerve wracking for me. I thought I was gonna rip my paper. But then when it finally unfolded to be the center of my bow it was so satisfying.

@pyororon Oh wow! I do not know half of those pens. Will have to explore the stationery to find them! Not happy with the daiso brush tip I’m using. It’s getting worn out and becoming thicker by the day, when I’ve literally just used it for 8 days.
Anyway, your kanji writing of 初 is so beautiful! It can’t be the first time you’ve written it! I wish i could write that expression in japanese but my japanese is so basic, I can only say 初めてですか。
