We would appreciate it if you could use it as a break time when reading a historical essay or studying in a Japanese language course.
YouTube video (Fireworks display)
This is a video of the fireworks display with music (in Nagasaki). Instead of post-recording, I use the music that was playing on the spot as it is. In addition to TUBE's "Natsu wo Hakushimete♬", please enjoy the splendid fireworks that spread along the melody of "Amairo no Kami no Otome♬" and "Natsumatsuri♬". @Kanbe_Ryusho2023 - Huis Ten Bosch fireworks display is classical music♬. Enjoy elegant music and spectacular fireworks.
Beautiful landscape of Japan
This corner introduces beautiful landscape photographs taken by Ryusho Kanbe in various parts of Japan. I have visited all 47 prefectures of Japan for work. In order for readers to refer to when they actually go out, simple comments and maps from Google Maps when they experienced each place are also posted.
Hakodate & Southern Hokkaido Special (Autumn)
If you go to Hakodate, we definitely recommend seeing the night view. As far as I know, "Japan's three major night views" are said to be "Hakodate", "Kobe (Mt. Rokko)" and "Nagasaki" from the north, but Hakodate's night view is the best among them. Also, it is a video of "Devil Fireworks of Hell Valley" that I saw when I went to Noboribetsu Onsen, Hokkaido on a trip. The performance in which the demon held a fireworks tube in his hand was very impressive.
Purchase Experience "Portable power supply & Solar panel"
"I bought a set of portable power supply (Jackery Solar Generator 1000) and solar panel (Jackery Solar Saga 100) !" The main features are ➀Charging capacity: 1kwh (at 100% charge), ➁ Charging method: about 17 hours with one solar panel. My impression of purchase is 1) Electricity bill savings! 2) Solar charging is easy! 3) Easy to use! 4) Charge is kept for a long time! and 5) Car battery charging is also OK!

Pronouns are the basis of grammar. Now, let's check the list of personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and interrogative pronouns.
Modifying nouns with pronouns, other nouns, to-infinitives, participles and relative pronouns. Example, in Japanese usage, 'noun + "の" + noun', as in '先生の辞書'.
"A は B です" is called a noun predicate sentence. - "A は B が好きです" is called an adjective predicate sentence. "好きです" consists of 'Adject + Auxiliary verb'. No verb
Japanese grammatical constructions like "A は B を・・・。" are called verbal predicate sentences. The predicate part "・・・" consists of 'a verb + an auxiliary verb'.
If you want to say, "I bought two dictionaries." in Japanese, you would normally say "私は2冊辞書を買った。" To put it politely, it's "私は2冊辞書を買いました。"ます" ➡Past tense "ました"
Verb expressions that indicate the situation have the same form as the present progressive tense. However, that is not progressive action but shows situation.
If you want to say, "I can speak English." in Japanese, you would politely say "私は英語ができます。". In another Japanese expression, you would say "私は英語を話すことができます。".
We will study verbs that indicate "possible" in Japanese. The verb "買う(buy)" was studied in lesson 5, let me introduce a verb "買える" that indicate "can buy".
"Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in the baseball game tomorrow." in Japanese, you would normally say "大谷翔平は明日の野球の試合で投げないだろう。". Future tense same as present tense.
About expressions of desire, if you want to say, "I want to go on a trip with my friends during the summer vacation." in Japanese, you say "私は夏休みに友達と旅行がしたいです。".
We will study the expressions of permissions and prohibitions. "Can I go to Shibuya with my friends tomorrow?" in Japanese, you can say "私は明日、友達と渋谷に行ってもいいですか。".
Let's study the expressions of invitation & intention such as "Would you like to…/ Let's do…" for invitation & "I would like to…/ I'm going to…" for intention.
Let's study expressions of requests such as "Please do …" or "Will you please do…". If you want to say, "Please open the window." in Japanese, "窓を開けてください。".
Let's study expressions with two objects such as the pattern S+V+O+O like "I will give her a birthday present." You say "私は彼女に誕生日のプレゼントをあげようと思います。" in Japanese.
In lesson 17, we'll review the Expressions by verb conjunctive form we have already studied before. Also let's study new usages such as "・・・していきます/・・・してきます" .
Two types of Japanese adjectives: i-type and na-type. In Lesson 18, we study the usage of i-type adjectives. ex:"赤いリンゴ(a red apple)" or "高い山(a high mountain)".
Let's study "Usage of na-type adjectives." For example, "きれいな先生", "静かな音楽". They can also be used as an adjective predicate sentence, such as "この音楽は静かだ/静かではない。".
In Lesson 20, we will study the usage of particle "が" & "は". These two particles are similar in usage, so we will explain in detail how to use them differently.
