はじめまして！

はじめまして！ 僕 ( ぼく ) は ニコラスマンガン ( にこらすまんがん ) です。 ミシシッピ ( みししっぴ ) 州 ( しゅう ) の ジャクソン ( じゃくそん ) からきました。 ノ ( の ) ー トルダム ( とるだむ ) 大学 ( だいがく ) の 三年生 ( さんねんせい ) です。 選考 ( せんこう ) は 古典学 ( こてんがく ) です。どうぞよろしく！ If I had to choose, my favorite Japanese song would definitely be 悲 ( かな ) しみよこんにちは by Saitou Yuki, and it’s my most played song on Spotify. I found it from the opening sequence to what would become my favorite anime, めぞん 一刻 ( いっこく ) by Takahashi Rumiko. I have a video of me trying sing it at karaoke in Osaka (sake may have been involved).

聞く：北条 時宗

Image
 I watched a clip from the NHK drama "Hojo Tokimune" showcasing the Mongol invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281 during the reign of the Kamakura shogunate. At the time of the first invasion, as the drama shows very clearly, Japan was not prepared to endure such an assault as the Mongols made. The invaders bring with them unfamiliar weapons such as trebuchets and exploding canister ammunition, and they also do not share the same concerns for honor in battle as the Japanese do and use poisonous arrows. However, when the second invasion comes, the samurai have become familiar with the Mongol way of war and construct a massive stone wall to keep the enemy at bay on the beach. Unfortunately, since the characters speak an imitation of thirteenth century Japanese, I could scarcely begin to understand their speech. However, in battle single word commands are common, and I could identify the regular form of imperative verbs; in particular, the imperative of する is しろ .

Nobunaga: King of Zipangu

Image
Nobunaga: King of Zipangu is an NHK drama from the early 1990s that follows the life of Oda Nobunaga, who fought to unify Japan during the Warring States period of the sixteenth century. The first episode is about his father's struggle to establish control over their home province of Owari amidst interference from the lord of Mino, Saito Dousan, and the shogunate's nominal governor. He must also decide an heir, since Nobunaga, despite being his eldest son, is unpopular due to his perceived stupidity and femininity. In the background throughout the episode is a story about certain Portuguese monks who were the first Europeans to visit Japan. The Japanese spoken in King of Zipangu is very different from what I have heard in other Japanese media. The characters use very formal styles and vocabulary; for example, 御座る seems to be preferred to ある.
