We held our annual Christmas party last week, in the new GenkiJACS lounge. There were a variety of acts, and hopefully we\u2019ll soon have an edited video of some of the students singing and giving speeches. However, perhaps the highlight of the party was GenkiJACS teachers performing the song “Nihon no mikata”, by Yajima Biyoushitsu.<\/p>\n

Yajima Biyoushitsu is made up of the comedian duo Tunnels<\/a>, and DJ Ozma<\/a>. The original version of the song is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lyrics of the song (Japanese here<\/a> \/ English here<\/a>) make fun of foreigners’ expectations of Japan – the three (male) singers dress as glamorous visitors from Nevada, arriving in Japan for the first time, and sing about being surprised by the revolving sushi, the lack of samurai, etc. It\u2019s fairly funny, and seemed an appropriate way to poke fun at the students. Although the teachers themselves looked pretty funny doing it\u2026<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
