Friday Night Video

This has been a long week. Actually, it’s been a long month. So what better way to spend a Friday night than kicking back and relaxing in front of the computer screen and watching a short clip of a Japanese video?

As far as I can tell, this is from some TV show that wakes people up in tender, yet inventive ways. It's kind of like reverse lullabies. While it’s pretty grainy to start off with, stick with it. It becomes clearer.

One of the things I like about this video is that you don’t need to speak a word of the language to appreciate it. Some of the more subtle nuances may take more than one viewing, but if you’re willing to invest the time, I think you’ll be rewarded with a deeper and more intimate understanding of the Japanese culture.

Besides, what else is there to do on a Friday night?

Enjoy.
