Bryan's Blog

For my second blog post, I decided to do a Japanese song that I listen to quite often (since I listen to music all day). The song is by artist みゆな, who also made ガムシャラ one of the openings for black clover for the people who watch anime. I just really enjoy the instrumental in the song, along with the general flow of hers. The feature is also a nice touch to the song that I feel would be a little empty otherwise. My favorite part of the song is probably the sound when she says 愛してるって言って a few times near the end of the song, along with the chorus in general. 

 こんにちわ、私はエスカランテ　ブライヤンです。ノートダム大学の三年生です。私のしゅっしんはアメリカのテキサス。私のしゅみはアニメとおんがくです。 My goals for this semester are to improve my reading skills, especially when it comes to recognizing and pronouncing common kanji used in everyday life. Since I will be abroad in the spring and most likely visit Japan, I feel like this goal is especially important to me.  どうぞよろしくおねがいします。

 For my chosen media, I am choosing another Japanese song (I really love music, if you couldn't already tell). This time I chose to showcase What's Happenin' by Psychic Fever. The only real reason I chose this song over some of their other ones is cause this one is a bit newer. I really like the instrumental and flow they have throughout this song and I just think it's very catchy. If I had to recommend some other songs from them, I would pick Rocket and Just Like Dat. Although they have other good songs as well so I would say if you like this song, just give some of their others a listen!

My review is going to be about a music video from a group that I like. The group is MISAMO (a subgroup from Twice if any of y'all know them). Honestly, I've always liked their music but this is the first time I watched the music video for them. I could've chosen any of their songs but I just chose the most popular one. They also mix in a bit of English in their songs and generally just make it pretty catchy. Don't really have much else to say but they have tons of other good songs so if you like this one go give the other ones a listen as well.
