Blog Assignment #26 by Kanae

I’m going to introduce my favorite video on YouTube. This video is “Frozen” and this music is “For The First Time In Forever”. This music is sung in Japanese, but this isn’t mere Japanese. This language is Koshu-Ben. Koshu-Ben is a dialect of Yamanashi. Yamanashi is my hometown. The video which Japanese sang “For The First Time In Forever” in Japanese various dialects is contributed to YouTube a lot. Even amongst those, I like this video the best. Because it’s the language of my hometown. Koshu-Ben give me a nostalgic feeling. In addition, the current news is included in this video. On February 15, 2014, it snowed hard in Yamanashi. Usually, snow doesn’t fall there. However, much snow continued falling from morning on that day, and my father’s car was buried under snow in an instant. It was piled up to 143 centimeter. This news is included in the song lyrics. It’s interesting! So please watch this video!

  1. Oh my goodness, that is so much snow! I think it would take a long time to melt. Do the words in Koshu-Ben match the same meaning in English?
