話そう！Episode 9 - Lampslides

Lampslides is a collection of short clips and pictures that I couldn't fit into the previous episodes but wanted to show anyway. So enjoy them if you will, and I'll be back with a real episode on the 花火大会 (Fireworks festival)

Intro: "Lucky Star" by Motteke Sailor Fuku

Outro: "Radio Free Zerg" by Blizzard (a bit of a gamer joke, but also where I'd really, really love to get a job, oh yea, and I heard this song on a Korean student's computer in Japan, so I dunno if I really counts but I wanted to use it so :p)

Also, a really cool thing about Japan that sets it apart from the rest of the world is that the photograph was around during the end of the so-called "Feudalistic Japan", before it was modernized. check out some such photos here:

Lastly, the most common English tune that I hear here is "Shall we Dance" from the King an I. And every Japanese person I've asked has been oblivious to where the song is from.

Also, for the record, I make no claim of having coined these gaijin superpowers, as far as I know they are a running joke amongst the international students on campus.

The pictures of the spider:

Update 2:
I spent the past weekend working at the University festival, this week is midterms, and I'm moving this weekend, so I haven't been able to make any videos and I probably won't get any done this week, but don't think I've forgotten you guys, I've got material still!
