Would you spend a day waiting for a rabbit？

成语故事

守株待兔

とても日本の夏らしい歌をAIで作りました。お楽しみください。

（Verse 1）
朝からアスファルトが　ジリジリ焼ける
影をさがして歩く　旅人みたいに
セミのシャウトは止まらない！
「ミーンミーンミーーーン！」命がけ！

Asphalt’s burning from 8 a.m.
I walk like a lost man, seeking shade
The cicadas scream with all their soul—
Nature’s heavy metal parade!

（Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
サウナより熱い、湿気の嵐
でも祭りはやめられない！
浴衣と金魚、夜空の花火！

THIS is JAPAN’s crazy summer!
Hotter than hell, and 100% humid
But festivals call, I can’t resist—
Yukata, goldfish, and fireworks kissed

（Verse 2）
Tシャツが3分で　汗だく地獄
コンビニの冷気に　心から感謝
かき氷のためなら1時間待つ
それが日本の　プライドだ！

My shirt is soaked in just three minutes
Thank you, dear konbini air!
I’d wait an hour for shaved ice joy—
That’s summer pride, we dare!

（Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
エアコンより強いのは友情！
夜風にゆれる風鈴の音
暑くても、忘れたくない季節

THIS is JAPAN’s burning season!
Stronger than A/C is human connection
Wind chimes sing in the warm night breeze
A season we sweat through, yet never forget

（Bridge）
外国の友よ　覚悟して来てね
日本の夏は　甘くないよ
でも一度体験したらもう
恋に落ちるんだ、この暑さに！

Dear friends from abroad—be warned!
Japan’s summer shows no mercy
But once you’ve lived it, through the heat—
You’ll fall in love with its crazy beauty!

（Final Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
太陽も空も本気のバトル
また来年も、この地獄で
君と笑っていたいんだ！

THIS is JAPAN’s full-power summer!
The sky and sun are in a blazing duel
But next year too, in this hot-hot hell—
I wanna laugh with you again!

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#35  Easy News / ポテトチップスの袋《Plastic Bag of potato chips》 // N4 Level /Japanese listening

A smile, a “hello” and a “how are you” will make an immediate
positive impression. Thailand is known as the Land of Smiles, and
you will soon be saying “hello” and smiling with more people than
you can remember.
TOP TIP: When referring to the self in Thai, as in “I”, there is a
form for male and a form for female, just as there is with khrup and
ka. Men say “Phom”, and women say “Chan”, or “Di-chan” when
speaking very politely.
There are also forms where age is concerned. When speaking to
an elder, you should refer to that person as “Pii”. To get the
attention of an elder you would say, “Pii khrup/ka”. To get the
attention of a younger person you would say, “Nong khrup/ka”.
When referring to a child you can use the word “Luuk”, which
literally means child.
