Hey y’all!

 Along with playing Animal Crossing, Mariam, Nikki, Blair and I have been making A LOT of Kotsu Kotsu videos for y’all! We’ve done everything from tasting Japanese drinks, cooking tutorials and even playing with yo-yos… Staying inside continues to be BORING, but at least we’re having some fun making funny content for y’all! Anyway, I hope you guys are ready for the funniest videos ever! 

Sorry for the blurry pictures! I just wanted to give y’all a glimpse into the videos! 

突然ですが、うちの姪っ子は（誰に似たのか）食べるのが大好きです！！！

体は同じ年のお友だちと比べて小粒ですが、食べる量はものすごいです。

（あれだけ食べても変わらないなんて、うらやましい限りです…←）

今はわたしが帰省を自粛しているので、そんな彼女ともお正月以来会えていませんが、

先日いちご餅を送ったところ、それを食べるチャンスを得たらしく喜んでいたそうです。

Next year, when spring comes around, I’d love to take her to go strawberry picking!!

But for now, we should all stay home to help the people who are fighting against COVID-19 on the front line!!!!!!!!

Hello! Since COVID-19 has made us all spend more of our time indoors, I hope everyone is able to make the most of it! I know it can get pretty boring staying inside most days. The American teachers were tasked with making some more Kotsurisu videos for you all and this really helped us to make each day fun and productive. Sam, Nikki, Mariam, and I worked together to come up with some fun video ideas that we could complete indoors. From cooking to learning new skills, and even playing the game “Telephone” with a new twist! We had such a good time making these, and we hope you enjoy them just as much as we do! Keep safe and can’t wait to see you all in class very soon!       – Blair 

最近は新型コロナウイルスの影響で、不安な気持ちになるニュースが多いですね。

「なにも変わらない、普通の日々」の大切さを改めて感じています。

ちょっと疲れたな…と思ったときは、ぜひ、アルファベットチョコレートを

食べてみてください。この程よいミルク感と口どけのなめらかさは、

同じような商品たちの中でもずば抜けています！！（※いろいろ食べ比べた僕比）

製造元の名糖産業株式会社は愛知県の会社みたいなので、

広い視野で見ると、これも一種の『地産地消』ではないでしょうか！！

It’s been Spring for a few weeks now and I am enjoying going around town on walks and checking out the new flowers. The cherry blossoms are starting to fall, which makes the ground and canals look really pretty — but it also gives me terrible hayfever!! It’s hard to find good masks these days, so my hayfever is especially bad right now. I want to take longer walks in the countryside, but my eyes start crying and I sneeze every few seconds. It’s worth it to see lots of Spring scenery though…
