FF12リメイク?
最近,ファイナルファンタジーのコンダクターは,ファイナルファンタジーXIIリメイク発表しました。
でも,間違った。 FF12リメイクはリメイクじゃなく,リマスターです。ファイナルファンタジーXII インターナショナル ゾディアックジョブシステムのHDバージョンです。
違いますね。

Yakuza 5
"Ryu Ga Gotoku 5," which is called "Yakuza 5" in English, will finally go to America.
In America, we don't get Yakuza games very often.
Japan's box art is much cooler. Just look at Japan's box for Ryu Ga Gotoku 3:
Now compare that to the American Yakuza 3 box.
Ew. Japan's is cooler.

With all due respect to other exhibits...
Oscar's got 2013 locked up. His piece on Ibukijima was the coolest thing at the Setouchi Art Festival, once again.
Hmm, I should write more stuff about the art. I got to see so much more this time around.

スペイン語の音楽 Spanish Music!
Today at the junior high school, it came up that Spanish was one of my favorite subjects in high school. One student asked if there was Spanish music on my blog and I realized no, there was not. I told him I would post some, so here are two rather fun Spanish songs.
今日、中学校で、「私の高校の頃」を話しました。
その時、スペイン語は、強い教科でした。中学生は、スペイン語の音楽がほしいです。
じゃ、どうぞ。
Here's one by Shakira before her hips started not lying. It's my favorite song of hers, by far.
And this is from the end of Kill Bill 2, one of the most enjoyable cinematic experiences of the forever, despite its numerous plot holes.

Canada Dry Cassis Ginger Ale
Today, one of my friends and I drank Canada Dry's new Cassis Ginger Ale. These are our reviews.
Me:
The combination of cassis (they're grapes, let's be honest) and ginger ale works well. It's different enough to be its own pop, but not a crazy departure from the Ginger Ale end of things.
I think it's pretty good. I will buy it again.
Her:
This package is cool. It was good. The taste is not like anything else. That's all.

Auld Lang Syne
We just got back from Canada, where we spent Christmas. So...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
On New Year's Day in North America, we sing "Auld Lang Syne."
正月で、この唄 「Old Lang Syne」を唄う。
In Japan, I hear this song when shops close and when students graduate. Very different!

Pop review: Lime Crush
One thing they've got plenty of in Canada that we don't see often in the States (or Japan) is Crush. There are all kinds of flavors, erm, "flavours" I guess we'll say, though the only one I'd ever heard of stateside is orange. You come North, however, and there's all kinds of flavors. Spending Christmas in Canada, I was excited to come across Lime Crush at a convenience store.
You see all kinds of lemon-lime sodas like Sprite, 7-Up, and Sierra Mist, but rarely do you see a label having the guts to drop the lemon. I think 7-Up tried this with Dn-L a few years back but I can't remember how that tasted.
Lime Crush turned out fantastic. I'm a huge lime fan, I should say. Just the night before writing this, I was stacking a Coca-cola glass full of like 9 lime slices to make a great-tasting beverage that seems to appeal to only me. I remember Coke with Lime having a life all too short and I suppose this is how I bring it back. Crush's version of a lime soda comes with a strong taste that's not as sour as actually biting into a lime, but accurate enough for a soft drink. I love it.
Ditching the lemon was a bold move that works well for Crush, and I wish I could find this stuff at my home in Japan, because I'd buy it all the time.

O Come All Ye Faithful. Take it away, King's College Choir:
MoTab also hits a home run with this one:
While a missionary about 7 years ago, I was asked to choose a hymn with which to open a meeting. It was June, but heck, I figured, let's go with Come All Ye Faithful. It just felt right. Everyone talked about how awesome it was to sing this song even though last Christmas was 6 months behind and next Christmas 6 months in the future. There's just some power in this song, and who am I to deny it?

#3 on the countdown of my favorite Christmas songs ever is:
Away in a Manger, but this mostly applies to the Bright Eyes version. Without that version, this drops a few ticks, maybe even falls out of the top 12 on my list. I'm aware the Bright Eyes Christmas album has shown up three times on this list now, and this is the final one. What can I say? It's a fantastic CD. I can't say enough how much the broken-ness hits home.
For crying out loud IT USES A MUSICAL SAW. Automatic win.

カウントダウン 4番: "Christmastime" by The Smashing Pumpkins.
(Not gonna attempt this one in Japanese.)
This is an example of a relatively newish song that I think has the potential to become a true classic akin to lasting hits such as Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" or Tom Petty's "Christmas All Over Again" and others. I guess we'll see how that's going in 15 years or so.
But even though it's younger than most songs on the list (Emery's being the only exception I can think of), this is downright beautiful song. The lyrical imagery delivers a heartwarming scene of an adult watching his/her kids enjoy Christmas morning. He's fondly reminded of his own childhood, but perfectly comfortable in his new role as the giver of most gifts rather than the recipient. It paints a picture of the type of family Christmas celebration we should all consider ourselves blessed to have. Plus Billy Corgan's voice seems perfectly suited for it.
So whether or not you like the Smashing Pumpkins, set your preconceived notions aside and enjoy this song:

Today we move to #7!
This is "The Last Christmas" by Emery, not to be confused with a much more famous Christmas song with a similar title...which I can't stand. (Generic pop song just used Christmas as a way to sell itself, let's be honest.)
Emery makes this song soft and calm without letting it get boring. I only discovered this song about 2 or 3 Christmases ago so I still tend to forget about it until Christmas rolls around, and then I bust out my Christmas music and I'm like "Oh yeah, I LOVE this track."
He also mentions watching A Christmas Story, which, let's face it, for those between the ages of about 20 through 40, is the definitive Christmas movie. What a classic.

I think this would be #1 on a lot of lists, and for good reason, it's a heck of a song. It wasn't originally intended to be a Christmas/New Year's song, but rather a protest to the Vietnam War.
But John's intentions aside, the words do contain the true Christmas Spirit, do they not? It's a message of peace, of loving your fellow man, regardless of trivial factors such as race, status, or nationality.
実は、これは、クリスマスの唄じゃなっかたです。でも、クリスマスのメッサジは

Today's song has a similar title to yesterday's, I know.
"Silent Night" is known around the world, and is instantly recognizable, even here in Japan where most people don't know the meaning of the song. Take it away, Enya!
This was one of the first Christmas songs to which I learned the words. I remember doing so at what had to be like, age 4 or 5, because my memory seems to not have other siblings in the house. That having been over 20 years ago and memories being imperfect as they are, perhaps I am mistaken, but the point is, I remember sitting down and being taught the words to that song and feeling dang good about it as I glanced around the dining room of my old Knox Dale house and saw the festive decorations, namely a cloth nativity scene. Memories, man.

White Soda Review (Suntory White Pop)
Today in class, two students and I tried Suntory "White Pop."
We tasted it, talked about it, and shared our review scores. The kids both compared it to Calpis Soda, which I have had only once, and it was like 3 years ago, so I don't have a great memory of it.
Below are our comments and scores. I typed and fixed some grammar while the kids expressed their thoughts.
Heath: 2/5
Comment: It's not bad, but it tastes like yogurt. I don't usually like yogurt drinks.
Student 1: 4/5
Comment: It tastes like Calpis Soda and drinkable yogurt, mixed.
Student 2: 4/5
Comment: It's the same as Calpis Soda. I like Calpis Soda.
It appears speech contests and video game reviews aren't the only areas in which I am the harshest judge ^^;;
We tasted it, talked about it, and shared our review scores. The kids both compared it to Calpis Soda, which I have had only once, and it was like 3 years ago, so I don't have a great memory of it.
