Japanese movie DVDs with Japanese subtitles.
When you learn foreign languages, DVD(or Blu-ray) of films with subutitles of the target languages are very helpful, e.g. American movies with English subtitles, and Chinese , French, Spanish movies with the subtitles of each language.However, most of the Japanese movie DVDs unfortunately don't have Japanese subtitles. Here I will introduce rare DVDs with Japanese subtitles. I hope it will help Japanese learners.

A must-go during your long stay in Japan, to know real Japan.
(The latest post) : The most sacred, dangerous to death festival - Onbashira matsuri / 御柱祭.>>
I would not mention famous places like Asakusa, Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, nor Harajuku nor Akihabara.
Here I would like to introduce probably unknown but valuable places, events, and cultures to foreign people living in Japan.

歌詞が俳句みたいな流行歌 （popular songs with lyrics of Haiku touch)
突然ですが、日本の短い詩で俳句といえば、
「静けさや岩にしみいる蝉の声」「荒海や、佐渡に横たう天の川」のように、
二つのちがうものを対比し、しかし何の説明もしない、それでいて不思議なイメージが広がる詩形です。
で、日本の流行歌の歌詞で、「これって俳句っぽい」と思うことが時々あります。
たとえば大橋純子の「たそがれマイラブ」（1978年）
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
しびれた指、すべり落ちた
コーヒーカップ、砕け散って。
私はただ、あなたの目を
言葉もなく、見つめるだけ
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
これ、前半二行と後半二行のイメージの対比が、すごく映像的というか俳句的な気がします。
二番の歌詞もスゴいんだよね。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
凍える手でひろげて読む
手紙の文字が赤く燃えて、
私はもう、あなたの背に
もたれかかる、夢を見てる。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
大橋純子の感情豊かで、それでいて軽やかな歌唱もすばらしいので、よかったら聞いてみてください。

みなさま、ほかに何か例がありましたら、お書きください。

A Japanse quiz: What was Katanaka for 200-1000 years before?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What do you think Katakana was for in the beginning?
Japanese katakana (AIUEO：アイウエオ） is now mainly used for writing foreign things or concepts, mainly American and European ones like:
- KONPYUUTA：コンピュータ: computer
- FASSHION：ファッション：fashion
- OODEKORON：オーデコロン：eau de Cologne
- ROKKUNROORU ロックンロール： rock'n roll
- BAREE: バレエ： ballet
- SEKUHARA: セクハラ： an abbreviation of sexual harassment
Other countries' things are written in Katakana except for Chinese ones.
NANPURAA: fish source (Thailand)
KOORAN: コーラン：quran (Islamic)
GAMURAN: ガムラン：gamelan (Bali)
But until around 1850, then 150 years ago, Japan had closed itself and there was nothing European or American then, although katakana had been there since 1000 years before.
This means Katanaka was not used for describing Western things in the beginning.
What do you think Katakana was for at first?
( of course, there is the answer)

Hiragana - feminine, katakana - masculine?
Japanese people generally feel that
hiragana あいうえおかきくけこさしすせそ look like round and FEMININE and
katakana アイウエオカキクケコサシスセソ look like sharp and MASCULINE.
Do you, foreign Japanese learners, feel the same way?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ーー
The answer is :
The purpose of Katanak hasn't been changed.
It was invented to describe foreign special thing.
