I wanna tell u why I started this blog and why I write this blog in English.
Actually I'm better at Japanese
because I'm the Japanese guy who was born and raised up in Tokyo.
And I haven't experienced to stay in foreign countries to study English
except for trips.
It's so easy for me to write this blog in Japanese.
However I wanna write this blog in English. Why?
Because I want foreign ppl to read this blog :)
I wanna show u the reason below.
Do u know Bruno Mars?
He is the pop singer in USA, called Michael Jackson of 21th century.
I like his songs so much.
I usually listen to them on the way to my workplace.
One of them is "Nothin' On You".
Exactly "Nothin' on You" is the debut single by American rapper B.o.B.
And the song features vocals from Bruno Mars.
◆ B.o.B - Nothin' On You [feat. Bruno Mars] (Official Video)
This song has the lyrics below.
-------------------------------------------------------
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even way out there in Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia to New Orleans
But you always steal the show (steal the show)
And just like that girl you got a fro (got a fro)
Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
If you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)
-------------------------------------------------------
I'm so pleased to find the word "Tokyo" on the lyrics of this song.
However I was so shocked to watch the music video.
Depending on each city on the lyrics, the picture is changed in the music video.
London... Big Ben
Paris ... The Eiffel Tower
Tokyo ... ○○○
What do u think is filled in ○○○?
The answer is "The street in front of Isetan".
Isetan is the famous department store at Shinjuku in Japan.
It is so famous, however it doesn't compare with Big Ben, The Eiffel Tower at all.
I was surprised at it.
I think most of the foreign ppl know the name of the city, "Tokyo",
however they don't know much about the city.
And they don't know the symbol of Tokyo.
What is the symbol of Tokyo?
Tokyo Tower, TOKYO SKYTREE, The Imperial Palace or Kaminarimon??
To tell the truth, I don't know what it is either.
Hahaha.
Tokyo Tower ：
It's too similar to The Eiffel Tower.
My French friend always says it is fake.
TOKYO SKYTREE:
It's too somber. Why is the color of it blue or purple at night?
I hate the color. Lol
The Imperial Palace / Kaminarimon:
It's not so familiar among ordinary Japanese ppl.
"Hey, today is off. Let's go to see The Imperial Palace / Kaminarimon!"
I have never heard such lines before in my life.
So I wanna know the symbol of Tokyo and show u clearly.
It's the mission of my blog.
Let's find it together!
