More Stories From Japan
I cannot mention my musical tastes without causing a mini-riot in my classes, I swear. Today after I had finished a class I was cornered, literally cornered, by four 6th grade girls, one of whom had a Koki strap attached to her bag, and drilled on my taste in Johnny’s. They were just rapid-fire throwing out names and expecting me to give my opinion. Yamapi! KAT-TUN! Kanjani! Matsujun! Tokio!! They’d scream every time I said something positive. The teacher had to pull them away so I could even get out the door and to my next class. I was surprised about the Tokio thing, but yes, one of the girls was a Nagase fan. I later had lunch with that same class, and the posse of girls brought “One Love” to play in the class CD player during lunch.
Also, one of the 5th grade teachers is a big Kanjani fan. She was almost as bad as the little girls with all the questions.
So far I have “experimented” with mentioning Johnny’s to elementary school kids, Junior High girls, High School girls, and college girls, and it never fails to get a huge reaction. Sometimes even the middle-aged teachers join in. I feel so at home here! Lol.

isn’t it to difficult to teaching in japan?
ah! anything else:
Do you know if kame will turn in a new drama? Do you heard rumors or anythings esle?
It can be difficult. It really depends on the class and how cooperative they’re feeling that day. It can be really fun too though.
I’ve heard rumors of a cameo for Kame, but probably nothing more than you’ve already heard.
thank you! and FIGHT! lol
