I made a song about cats with AI.
It has both Japanese and English lyric so it helps you to learn Japanese!

ねこについての歌をAIで作りました。
ねこは「にゃんこ」と呼ばれることもあります。

（verse1）
しっぽは tail　ふりふり dance
うれしいときに　ゆれるよ chance
ひげは whiskers　ピンとのばして
まわりの空気を　check するよ！

（chorus）
あたまは head　くびは neck
みみは ears　ぴょこっと up
めは eyes　きらきら shine
にゃんこのからだ　おぼえよう！

（verse2）
ては paws　やわらかく
そーっとあるいて　音がしない
つめは claws　ときどき sharp
でもリラックスで　ひっこめる〜

（chorus）
鼻は nose　くちは mouth
こえは voice　にゃーって言う
からだは body　ふわふわ　fur
にゃんこで覚える　にほんご！

分享看剧感受！
朋友们你们好！今天的零食叫做“星期三”。我们来一起边吃边学吧！ 
 ”星期三“是一个女孩的名字。这个小女孩平时全身只穿黑色衣服。而她的表情总是给出一个难以与人相处的印象。她很喜欢侦探推理和那些古怪的东西。

 首先要说的是，我真的被“星期三”的性格吸引了。她活在自己的世界里，不在乎任何人的评价，只有我可以定义自己。这个女孩不仅个性特殊还很有想法，是不是？

说实话，作为一个敏感过度在意他人感受的我，其实是非常累的，所以真的对“星期三”着迷。尤其看到她跳舞那段。看上去有那种舞池中我是主角，欢迎来到我世界的感觉。特别有风格！ 
 然后也不能不提到另外一个很有趣的人物。一直陪着“星期三”是一个叫“小东西”。我十分喜欢“小东西”！那只手是我本剧最爱的设定。你们说，谁不想拥有一只骄傲敏感无所不能的小挂件呢？ 
 “星期三” 这部悬疑的美剧，你看了吗？你喜欢的是什么人物呢？快来告诉我吧！

解馋小零食

2022年12月16号 - 最近看了“星期三” - 第一印象！ (Intermediate)

Te escribo desde Els Bacus, la casa dónde desde hace 6 días estamos realizando y disfrutando de la Inmersión Lingüística Otoño-2021. El tiempo vuela y parece que fuera ayer mismo cuando a uno por uno iba recibiendo a mis estudiantes detrás de sus sonrisas. La casa, el lugar, las vistas, las rutas, las actividades, la comida, todo ha sido notable; pero por encima de todo, quedan las personas y he sido bendecido por hospedar a este grupo heterogéneo pero enormemente sensible.

Learning is a process that never stops. It's something that we do, not for weeks , months or years but for a lifetime. In today's episode, I will be talking about a valuable lesson from the book, "EGO IS THE ENEMY."

FLO TALKS 

ALWAYS STAY A STUDENT (EGO IS THE ENEMY)

Nissan has begun testing its new self-driving car on the streets of Yokohama.

The Japanese carmaker has been testing a Nissan LEAF prototype that uses its own self-driving technology.

During testing, the vehicle traveled on the busy roads of Japan's second largest city, close to the company's offices.

Nissan said the vehicle was able to predict the behavior of pedestrians, change lanes, and decide when it was safe to enter an intersection.

The prototype has 14 cameras, 10 radars and six sensors, and there was a safety driver in the driver's seat during testing.

This vehicle has more of this equipment than previous versions, according to Nissan, and has a number of sensors on the roof.

The company wants to release self-driving cars in 2027 and plans to do more tests this year in other busy parts of Yokohama.

It said that self-driving vehicles could help to make it easier for older people to get around towns and cities.

Japan is getting ready to have self-driving technology on its roads. The government changed its traffic laws last April to make this possible.

And according to a Kyodo News survey from the start of 2024, 36 of the country's 47 prefectures are thinking about using self-driving technology on their buses.

Many of the country's bus companies have had problems finding drivers and they have had to reduce bus services because of this.

Self-driving buses would help with this problem, but people are still worried about the safety of the new technology.

A self-driving bus service began in Fukui prefecture in 2023 but this was stopped after one of the buses collided with a bicycle.
