私と日本の文化

 私は子どものとき、ちょっと日本語の音楽を聞きました。日本語の学校はがくせいを教えました。Besides teaching us the language itself, we had music classes every Friday, whereas we had to sing and sometimes play the flute. Besides the Japanese and the school anthem, they also taught us some pop songs.

 Among the few learned, the two that stands out are 世界に一つだけの花, by a band called SMAP, and えいこうのかけはし, by ゆず. The first, although I didn't really understand what it was saying, I really loved it and loved singing it. A funny fact about it is for some time I completely forgot its name, as it had been sometime I last heard it. However, I still knew almost the entire lyrics hahaha. And the second, all the students had to learn for a presentation. Even though it was a task, for me was more of an enjoyment, the song is beautiful and singing was one of my hobbies. 

それから、

日本語の学校で日本のえいがも見ました。It was there and at my grandparents' house where I was introduced to my first couple of Japanese movies, a few of which became my favorites. To be honest, my favorites are となりのトトロ and せんとちひろのかみかくし. These classic Japanese movies are also part of my childhood, especially the first one, and I really enjoy them.
