Also, keep in mind that we are all learners of Japanese, so I realize that there may be some pronunciation mistakes, or maybe our choice of words weren't ideal. This was just a fun project we did intensively over the week (I dreamt it up on Monday, and had all the footage from everyone on Wednesday and then 2 days to edit it all together).

FYI, I accidentally said the word "balance" at the start even though Brian already included it in his part of the lyrics, and I mispronounced Mariusz' name at the start (sz has a "sh" sound in Polish). I came up with the lyrics with the help of a Japanese native. The Animaniac's Nations of the World song that the music is based on is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x88Z5t...

Thanks for watching, and I hope this video shows that Japanese isn't as bad as you think - see how many words are in it you already know? :)
