カレー！！！

おととい、かのじょとカレーをつくりました。そのカレーはおいしです。Here are some pictures of how we made made the curry. I had never made it before, so it was mostly my girlfriend teaching me, but I think it turned out pretty good. これはしゃしんです。

ひさいしさん

So, I've decided to dedicate this week (or what's left of it) to ひさいしさんのおんがく。This song, called Summer, is another one of his great works of art. It was not written for a Studio Gibli film, but it is still a really good song.

The reason why I really enjoy ひさいしさん's music is because it is instrumental. I enjoy just listening to the notes, and ひさいしさん composes really beautiful music. So with that, I leave you all with this video. じゃまた。

えんか

This post is dedicated to a special style of music that I find kind of cool. This style of music is called えんか, or enka. Now, I'm not quite sure what it is (I've heard very few songs that are classified as enka), but my girlfriend says that it is typically sung by older Japanese women and evokes a sense of loneliness. The video above is an example of enka from Kill Bill.

However, I first realized what this genre was when my girlfriend showed me this video. It is of a black enka singer named Jero. I thought it was interesting because he is the first black enka singer ever. It is very uncommon for young people to sing enka (so I've heard) and I thought it would be something cool to share.
