Japan Is News - Pilot Episode Available
The editing is lazy, the script is tenuous and the accent is British - it must be a new Japan Is Doomed video! This is the pilot (read: first) installment of a new project I’m doing, called Japan Is News (not a very inventive name!). I’m a big fan of satirical news comedy like Brass Eye, The Day Today and Dead Ringers, so I thought I’d give it a go myself.
I am aware it’s a little poorly edited - that’s partially because the program I used to make it (iMovie) is a bit rubbish, but mostly because I’m still learning how to edit video properly. Bear with me on that one!
Anyway, to watch the video, click on the image of yours truly below!
In other news, life is ticking on as usual. University is getting progressively more difficult, and as a result I find myself with less time for updates these days, but I’ll try to get one done before too long - maybe a blog post about the news just like I used to write. Or maybe I’ll just get drunk at more international events!
Bye Bye Japan Video!
Ah, it’s all gone by too fast. It’s very emotional. Too emotional for text, actually. So here’s my bye-bye Japan video, for you all to enjoy and weep over.
Enjoy!
Immigration In Japan
Today I had my visa extended, and to do that I had to go to the Tokyo Immigration Office ( 入国管理局 ) in Shinagawa. It was a total and utter nightmare.
To sum up my frustration, I made a video. Click the image below to watch!
Translation Station 2: Code Blue
Translation Station Episode Two!
That’s right! Translation Station part two is here. I chose a Japanese drama by the name of Code Blue this week, which revolves around a couple of young doctors working at a hospital, with a theme around a helicopter that flies off to save people.
If you haven’t seen Translation Station part 1, check it out!
This time around the show had English subtitles on it, so I left them on so you guys can see what is supposed to be happening. Sadly I messed up the accents once or twice, it’s really difficult to stay consistant when you’re doing everything in one take. I might try cutting up all the lines for the next one, although that sounds like far too much work to me!
