It seems that much work has been done, so I'll rest for a bit. I really like anime music- the pieces I enjoy have a tendency to be very cheery and poppy, but then again, one of the things I like about anime is the great poppy cartoon energy. I really can't quantify this sort of pop energy- it's the type of manic energy you get as thousands of creators compete to get the buying dollars of the public- the material may not push barriers but you get a lot of fun pulp that way.

Thursday, one of the students in my Japanese class did a report on Japanese music videos. I'm embarrassed to say this, but the one thing I took away from this (and the guy did a great job on analysis) was that Japanese pop stars wear an awful lot of clothes to be female pop singers. These girls are dancing around in pants and sleeveless t shirts, for god's sake! I guess I am used to the hyper sexual US videos.

It seems that the PE subject of the week is "Don't fucking get AIDS and die" That's a fun subject. Last week was sex ed, and so coming from that experience, we're sure to have to make skits saying stuff like "Hey, MOM and DAD! I think I'm going to have UNPROTECTED ANAL SEX!" and 'Mom' and 'Dad' telling 'Jr' to watch a porn or something. ^_^; Great stuff here, great stuff.
