Battle Royale

I wish I could speak Japanese fluently. Now. It’s one of the most beautiful languages in the world. Even Queen sang a song in Japanese… Oh by the way, I watched this very old NHK show, recorded it, and now I can’t stop thinking about the song! It’s so beautiful!

In some ways, being in the university is like being in Battle Royale. It’s ruthless, you fight only for yourself in order to get good grades, and sometimes you make alliances that can either help you or sink you. Some people prefer just to jump off a cliff, leave right after they start. It’s tough; will all the people I know survive? It must be sad to see your friends give up and die.



Tatsuya Fujiwara–This is the closest you will ever get to seeing Kotaro Takizawa on the big screen.

Man, I can’t stop listening to J-pop and all that stuff in Japanese. It’s a language that’s been calling me all my life (I can assure you the words I used to make up when I was a kid sounded like Japanese). Maybe it’s an influence from the NHK.

Anyway, the battle goes on. This week’s a short break, but after that… grab your firearms and your axe, and keep on fightin’!
