A song known to most of us as "Numa Numa" is quite popular on the internet right now. Originally in Romanian, it has been translated into various languages, including Japanese. I just had to post it when I found the video for it, because it's epic. First of all, it's almost nothing like the original song, so I'll just give you a heads up. Second, the lead singer/actor in this is a man dressed as a high school girl. He also plays the teacher said student falls for. Creepy? It gets better in that he actually looks better than most of the girls in this video. Perhaps this was done intentionally to help him "pass". He looks to me like a Japanese Jack Black, actually. Enjoy!
The Genki Japan blog is a blog solely about Japan and all the things that make it great, or not so great. I strive to bring a variety of topics to the table and try not to focus too much on a single issue. I hope you'll find it fun and informative. BLOG HAS MOVED! Tanoshinihongo.com is the new web address. I will continue to simultaneously update both Genki and the new blog, Tanoshinihongo.com for the time being.
