Nicotto Town


アナのこと~夢で日本に行くよ~


夢が叶った!


久しぶりだね。日本への旅が長くて、着いてから忙しくなったから、ログインできなったの。でも、今は日本にいて、たくさんの優しい人に話したことがある。留学生のみんなは色々な国から来たよ。中国、台湾、韓国、ベトナム、インドネシア、インド、それにドイツ。私だけアメリカから来たそう。w


留学生のみんなは日本語がまだまだだけど、友達を作るために話を頑張ることは、素晴らしいと思う。それに、このキャンパスは綺麗で、森の中にあるよ。森が大好きだから素敵!道を歩きながら日本語で書いてあるサインとか見えて、知らない人に出会ったら日本語で話してくれる。例えば昨日は、郵便局を見つけようとしてたけど、道に迷っちゃった。座って、バックパックから地図を出したとき、知らない女の人は、「大丈夫ですか。転びましたか」って言ってくれた。それから私にわからない単語を使って何か言ってた。「あ、大丈夫です!」私は恥ずかしく立ち上がって歩き離れた。w

新しい国の生活に慣れることはとても難しくても、どんどん日本の習慣がきっとわかってくる。頑張るよ!

Yeah, I do wish your mom would talk to someone
which let her think about her and realize herself.
Do you have anyone, your doctor or other adults to talk with her?

You must feel really frustrated as you're not able to go see
Thomas at the moment.
But remember, things will be better if you believe so.

I also pray for you and you're going to Australia sooner than
you expect now!

I'm always here to hug you, Ana!^^

Thanks for the reply.

Are you ok?
I wish I could talk with you in English fluently...

Actually I've got depressed, too.
I’m worried about getting infected with the coronavirus,
I’m too stressed to feel at ease
(perhaps it is the symptoms of Obsessive–compulsive disorder )

For making your daily life a little more interesting,
can you check and correct my English lyrics?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlhJaOL19JY

I wrote this song when I was in my first year of high school.
I know this song is too childish, so
can you give me some ideas?

Let's each find something fun and pass the time safely.

I'll be cheering you on from afar.

Thanks for telling me how you are doing!
I'm very much worried about you...
Do you talk to Thomas? I'm sure he understands your situation well.

As for your mom, I feel so sad, but at the same time, you need to accept her disorder.
All I can tell you is I'm always on your side, and try to support you.
I wish I was with you at your house and talked to your parents and protected you.

Will Thomas be able to see you in some way?
If he needs me to talk about you and your situation, I'm always here to listen to him as well.
I still believe your going to Australia would solve many problems.

Long time no see!!
How have you been?
In Japan students are having their spring school holiday.

I'll show you one petit music video today,
please listen to when you have a moment.

♪Study Hard While You Are Young,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjByAlNnL5c

...I wrote this music after left junior high school,during the spring vacation.

We must have a difficult daily life , and it's hard to find fun,
so I have no choice but to cast my mind to my school days lately.

※This music is limited release as of now.
I want to write lyrics for this music about my student life with fun in English.
...If I have any problems with writing,
I might have to contact you again. Thank you in advance.

I hope you are staying healthy and safe during these unusual times.

※ Perhaps my cousin talks about same video in Nicotto town.
She works as a team of my creative activity.
When you see her in Nicotto town, Say hello www

How have you been?
You must be busy studying so that you'll be able to graduate earlier.
Just go for it, Ana. I'm always beside you.

I've been having a hard time too.
One of the YouTubers scattered a false rumor about me, and my producer, who always makes my videos said to me "Good by" last week. He believed the rumor!
I said "I didn't do that." time and again, and finally the producer came back to me and said " I believe you".
But I cried a lot as he didn't believe me at first at all!
I was really distressed by the groundless rumor. I've never seen such a liar before.

So let's not listen to people who are not sincere and don't tell the truth.
Listen to people who know us well and support us, Ana!^^

Hi Ana!
Thanks for the translation! That's perfect!!^^

I'm so worried about you. I wish I was there with you to help you.
I think a person who needs a counselor is not you but your parents.
They really should know what they have done to you.

I can tell if you live in Australia with Tomas, there'll be no problem.
Hope your condition will become better.
I'm always by your side, Ana!

I'll paste the words of my original song!
I'd be happy if you translate it into English when you have time.
I'll try it by myself too!^^


"My Soul mate ~ Thank you"

それは突然のめぐり逢い 運命がはなたれて
いつも何か大きなものに 包まれたいと思っていた
なつかしい想いがあふれた 初めて出会ったのに
きっと宙から舞い降りる時 出会う約束をしてた

貴方に出会えてよかった いつでもそばにいるわ
貴方がくれたその優しさが 私を守ってる 私の宝物


いつもそばにいてくれる 私を支えてくれる
どんな時もどんな話も そこにいて聞いてくれた
当たり前の日常が 永遠じゃないと気付いた
愛しいあなたに私は何を 返すことができるだろう

貴方に出会えてよかった あふれ出る想いを
伝えよう言葉に翼つけて 貴方に届けたい 貴方にありがとう

My forever soul-mate

I can tell how you feel..... I wish I could block what your parents say to you!
You don't really need to hear their words at all. I know it's difficult as you get them directly, though.

Talking about psycho-pass, have you ever heard of it?
It's a disease of brain; people who have this illness don't know they tell lies at all.
He did something very wrong, so I brought a charge against him.
He admitted what he had done and apologized to me, but told other people I framed him up!
He 's still around me... I hate people who tell a lie! But it's not that simple as it's a disease. ><

Ana, I'm always with you like Thomas does.
You can tell me anything anytime!
I'll listen to you!
You are such a sweet, smart, reliable friend and my daughter!^^

Hi.
Thanks for your comment.

A hard week has passed, I'm worn out.
Last weekend I bought daily necessities in bulk for winter,
but there are not nearly enough for my family.

Actually, the number of patients infected with COVID-19
increased suddenly in my town for last few days,
people are becoming nervous.
I hear the new infections are related to Sapporo
where some clusters were identified at an entertainment district.
My cousin and one of my friends work near there,
I'm anxious about them.

How are things where you live?
Take care.

Hi!
Thank you for sparing your precious time for viewing.
Let me explain a little about those videos in comments section of my diary.

How's your homework?
I hope your efforts paid off.
I admire you as an earnest student☆彡

I like to write something, but
when it comes to in English,I couldn't be of any help.

I've been too busy this week,
I have to go to the dentist,ENT,pharmacy,City Hall & electronics store...

And that's not good news for me,

How have you been lately?
I'm sorry I didn't visit on your birthday,
I hope you had a wonderful day.

My latest update is↓
Because my job could not be scheduled as a result of COVID-19,
I'm depressed.
Did I tell you before?
My mom was hospitalized for tuberculosis last year,
so we should be careful not to catch COVID-19.
It has been mentally exhausting.
and it makes our daily life uncomfortable,
...and yet I don’t want to give up.
Of course I know everyone hopes COVID-19 gets stamped out.

To be able to see a silver lining,
I invite you to a worldwide event on next Sunday 12:50~ (JST)

https://wygm2020.sokayouth.jp/en/

You can watch some stage by young people all over the world.

Hi Ana~~
I appreciate your coming to my concert all the way from Chiba.
I was really relieved to see you at the cafe; I would have worried if you hadn't arrived in time.
How was the gig? And how were "koso" brown rice balls?
Oh, I must ask you. How was my Enlighs in those songs? Lol

Hi Ana!
I'm glad both you and Thomas read the article and know about the matter.
I've been supporting the people in Okinawa for quite a long time, but not many people are interested in this big issure. I think it's a biiiiiig problem!
They sent me the English site to share with foreign people, so I sent it to Ana as well as my British friend.

The place is the most famous cherry blossom site in Tokyo area. The flowers are still 30% blooming.

And I found Ikebukuro is an interesting city; maybe you like this place very much.^^

1.サンシャイン水族館: Amazing aquarium at the top of the Sunshine City building

2. 池袋防災館: You can experience an earthquake and other stuff for free. Now it's closed because of coronavirus, but you can book it by phone.

3. Animal cafes: There are many types there; you can stroke many cute animals.

4.乙女ロード: There are lots of anime goods on the road.

Hi again.
I'm thinking of hooking up with you at Takao-guchi Station at 8:00 OR 10:00 in the 21st morning.
Which do you prefer?
Between those time, there must be lots of commuters on the trains.
It takes about two hours from Minami-Kashiwa to Takao-guchi Station.

2. If a glass of juice is not cold; it's like a room temperature, how do you say it?
3. When I pulled out yacon from a ground, how can you say it? "I harvested the yacon." ? Or are there any other ways to say it?

2019/12/15 09:01
Hi Ana!
You must be very happy to welcome Thomas and talk with him face to face.^^
I was wondering if you are interested in staying in Kamakura for free on Dec. 22nd.
One of my friends said that she would let you stay an apartment house if you have time to go there on that day.
Kamakura is called "little Kyoto" and you can see lots of temples, shrines and feel the Kamakura shogunate.
It's a must-see place around this area!
My friend has a key and would stay the place, and so would I.
We would show you around the area, and you can save the accommodation!

I'll send this message to Thomas as well, in case you don't have time to read it here.

2019/12/12 09:37
I just wanted to make sure what and where Thomas should buy the rail pass.^^
アバター
2019/12/10 10:59
Hi Ana~Thomas will be coming to Japan soon!
Good news! He can buy a commuter pass (通勤定期)at みどりの窓口 in Minami-Kashiwa Station.
It costs him only 32,920yen for a month; he can save lots of money!
He can also get off the trains anywhere between Minami-Kashiwa to Hoshikawa.
Hope he'll enjoy short trips around that area!^^
アバター
2019/12/04 08:50
I'm sure you read my message below.^^
I had a mistake. The travel fee from Hoshikawa to Yokohama is not 180yen but 360yen a day.
So it'd be more than 7,000yen for three weeks.
アバター
2019/12/03 19:45
I'll call him Thomas, if you call him so.^^

私もアメリカで、クリスマスはチキンじゃなくてターキーを食べるの知って驚いたよ~(笑)
アバター
2019/12/03 19:43
I was wondering if you know some boys who would be happy to let Thomas stay for a week or so in the dormitory. Then he can save money for transportation for seven days.
He needs to pay from Hoshikawa(where he stays at Mr.Arita's house) to Minami-Kashiwa 2,000yen a day. So the total would be 60,000yen a month, if he takes trains everyday.
He said 60,000yen is the maximum; then he can't go anywhere else!
If he buys Japan Rail Pass which is about 60,000yen for three weeks, he can go anywhere using Japan Rail during that period.
He can use JR from Yokohama to Minami-Kashiwa all right; he only needs to pay from Hoshikawa to Yokohama 180yen a day.
Maybe some other students are also happy to let him stay their house for a week; many of them would love to speak and learn English!
Any ideas?

Thomas started to email me, so I tell him about where to visit in Japan.
I'll also introduce one of my ex-students, Naoya, who is 21 or 22.. around his age.
He speaks good English and shows around his friends from abroad often.
Maybe we'll talk on messenger ; they would become good friends.^^

Oh, in the rice. There's lots of sugar in Sushi.^^
Maybe you don't like vinegar very much.

Keep up your good work, Ana~^^

You can buy Tengu-yaki near the cable railway station, halfway up Mt.Takao.

The best season for autumn foliage in Tokyo area would be from the end of Nov. to the beginning of Dec.
Hope you'll get used to all the new stuff by then and find some time to visit there.

Oh, you don't like Sushi! Eventhough it's sweet !! Lol

I climbed Mt.Takao! There were lots of foreigners.^^
An anko sweet called "Tengu-yaki" is popular and sooooooo yummy. It's my favorite anko sweet! I think you would love it too! The anko is not made of 小豆 but 黒豆.

There's another place which I recommend, which is "Rikugien Park"(六義園).
It's not far from your place, and you can enjoy the beautiful crimson color of maple leaves.
You don't need to go to Kyoto, but you can feel the same atmosphere there.^^

Hope you would find some time in fall to visit the place and enjoy the colored leaves in Japan.^^

Glad to know you enjoyed "Oyako-don". Maybe you like most of that kind of 煮物, cuz they are soy-sauce and SUGAR taste. ^^
Oh, how about sushi? I went to 回転ずし yesterday which offers us two pieces of sushi for 100 yen! It's fun!

Microeconomics sounds difficult for me too~!
I can imagine you heard lots of technical terms in the classes, which made you difficult to understand Japanese. Glad to hear you get help! You'll learn such words one by one. I guess you'll feel those classes much easier in a year!

I'll say push means 無理強い in Japanese.
Your example sentence should translate like 「話したくなければ無理強いはしないけど、いつでもそばにいるからね」That's what I am!^^

How were the classes? How many classes did you have today?
Hope you enjoyed them^^

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed all the fravors of soymilk and dorayaki. Dorae-mon likes dorayaki too~^^
Kyoho, one of the fravors, is a very sweet strong taste of grape in Japan. You can eat it just this time of a year, but it's a bit expensive. You might try it as a sampling food in a supermarket!^^

Glad to hear the card worked and you got a nice pillow! You must sleep very well since then.^^

Did you try other fravored soymilk? And dorayaki?^^

How was the card?

If you want to buy soymilk with sugar, you should choose 調整豆乳.
Did you try soymilk with anko? Did it taste like anpan?^^

Yeah, I heard some people visit to Japan to just buy melon bread! Lol

Hope your card works! Wish you luck!^^

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the melon bread!^^
I chose the chocolate-chip one, but I want you to try the regular one without chips next time.

Talking about the regular soymilk, that's the simplest one without additives and sugar.
If you choose the regular one with sugar, you would love it too, I guess.

Hope your card will arrive soon, and you don't need to worry about money!^^

Let me pray that you are happy☆

Happy Birthday, Ana! I'm glad you got my REAL presents! Lol
They are not so fancy, but I thought those foods would save your expenses a little bit for this week. I enjoyed choosing them very much! ^^

Talking about soy-milk, I like the one by Kikkoman the best. Some other soy-milk is not so tasty for me.
Enjoy the different flavors! Happy to know that you wanted to try them~

Melon-pan is a popular bread and you can find it at any supermarkets and bakeries.
I heard many foreign students are big fan of it. I want to know if you like it too.^^

Have a very happy birthday!

I talked to one of my friends who teaches Japanese to foreign students about your debit card.
He said that happens so often!

Will you share the pictures on instagram? Or facebook?

Enjoy the classes!^^

外国で作られたキャッシュカードは、
郵便局かセブンイレブンで使えると、
聞いていたけど、使えなかったんだね。
この問題が早く解決するといいね。。;

So if you don't buy any stuff, then you won't need to pay any money, right?
Just be parient for a week~

You are lucky to be near the woods! You can listen to the chirp of cicadas during the day and the chorus of insects at night. I love listen to their beautiful sounds. Enjoy!^^

2019/09/08 08:48
OMG! You can't use your debit card. ><
Maybe you can borrow some money from your classmates for a week?

Just enjoy the typhoon! I don't think it will be serious.^^

アナの努力が実って、夢が実現したね♪
いろんな国の留学生と話をすると楽しいだろうね。
アナはみんなの日本語の先生になれるねb

大学も気に入ったみたいでよかった。
けっこうこれは大事だよ。
一年間学び生活する場所だからねb

普通の日本人は親切だから、わからない事は、
まわりの人に尋ねてみるといいよ。

さあこれから一年楽しく頑張ろう^^!

I'm glad to know that you have nice classmates from different countries.
Hope you'll have good relationship with them so that the world will become a peaceful place!^^

Most of the Japanese people are nice and kind. Whenever I got lost, someone always helped me!

I wish you the best.^^
