こんにちは！Today I watched several different vlogs made by students who attend Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan! I recently submitted my study abroad application for this school, so I decided to challenge myself by watching student vlogs in Japanese to see how much I could understand.  It was interesting to see the daily lives of Japanese students and consider  how their experiences are similar to and different from those of American students. Watching these videos made me even more excited about the possibility of studying in Japan! Here are some of the videos I watched if anyone is interested:  https://youtu.be/6tslC-hbjjo https://youtu.be/GkUvNreRlLU https://youtu.be/XdY-PQEnzXU

  こんにちは！Today I listened to the song "Senbon zakura  千本桜（せんぼんざくら)"  written by Kurousa-P  ( 黒うさP)  and sung by the Japanese Vocaloid Hatsune Mi ku ( 初音ミク). This song is a famous rock song in Japan, and it's about the rapid modernization/westernization of Japan during the Meji Restoration and Taisho era. From what I understand  千本 means "one thousands," whereas  桜 means "cherry blossoms" or "cherry trees." Therefore, the title of the song literally translates to "one thousand cherry blossoms/trees."  Here is the link if you would like to listen!:  https://youtu.be/shs0rAiwsGQ
