It was quite fun though, and I'd rather that than doing workbook activities that were a pain.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-12863077774293960282016-02-17T19:09:30.195-05:002016-02-17T19:09:30.195-05:00Hi, Noelle.

It's been a good companion all these years. :)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-27013600054201589902016-02-17T04:35:21.695-05:002016-02-17T04:35:21.695-05:00Hi J-Canuck.
Thanks for the explaination of "...Hi J-Canuck.<br /><br />Thanks for the explaination of "Hokkai Bon Uta". I never would've thought it was a miner song. My impression was that it's another sea shanty.<br /><br />I don't watch much of "Hachi-ji da yo" - I'm more for "Daibakusho" - but I heard Kato Cha singing an excerpt of "Hokkai Bon Uta" in a Drifters song medley with the rest of the guests on an older episode of "Nippon no Uta", and I thought it was quite a fun little ditty. <br /><br />I figured it was a minyo judging by the title and I wasn't too surprised that the Drifters did their own take of it since they are known to do zany versions of old minyo. What came as more of a surprise was seeing Michi's version - I had assumed he was singing the same lyrics as the Drifters... That isn't the case though, thankfully, or maybe it'd be funny if Michi were to sing the words from the Drifters' version. :)<br /><br />By the way, that picture you posted at the end of the article... Isn't that from one of those practice books where you have to write the word over and over again?Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.com
