Original stories
  2021.03.05

You-me Club channel delivers original Japanese & English songs and stories. This time is the story of “Another story of the mermaid “.

<Translation of Japanese Lyrics>

The tide was low and I met you on the shore

 On a full moon night, he returned to the sea .

 Who will you spend next after you are swayed by the waves?

 The waves of my heart remain rough

 The sea just laugh when it (the sea) doesn’t know anything


<Story>

The little mermaid met the prince on the shore, and they fell in love. The two of them were magically replaced, with the mermaid turn to be a human, the prince turned to be a mermaid .

They love each other although, on a full moon night the prince has disappeared somewhere in the sea without say nothing.

 Her heart is rapped by despair like rough waves, and she imagines he spends with another girl.

 The mermaid asks the sea where he is now, but the sea just smile without answer.

Japanese religion is polytheistic Shikaku World (YouTube Channel) Twitter Facebook はてブ Pocket LINE コピー     2022.02.07 Hello everyone! This is Ichi. This time I received a request about Japanese religion, so I would like to break it down for you. Stephanie, thank you again for your request! So, what religion does Japan follow? To the greater world, Japan’s religion is classified as “Buddhism”, but few Japanese are aware that they  are  Buddhists, and some say that they are “non-religious.” Japan, in recent years, has incorporated various religions such as Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity. Religions are broadly classified into two types. Ethnic religions (such as Shinto) and founding religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc.). What is the difference between them?
