Technically it was already last year, but the topic of today?s diary entry will be the annual Musashi Urawa Japanese Language Institute Christmas Party which was held on December 24th.
As soon as the Japanese Language Proficiency Exam finished on December 7th, all of the classes started watching videos from last year trying to decide what they will perform this year. Somehow they managed to practice out of sight from everyone else, so no one knew what anyone else was planning.
The teachers went first, and while it was obvious that they hadn?t practiced very much, they made up for it in numbers. Despite the uncertain movements they had to Kanjani?s ?Musekinin Hero,? the students still rose and joined in. After this, the competition started, and the teacher judges had to evaluate the singing, dancing, and overall performance of the ten classes. Luckily for them, J4B class truly outshone the rest. After it was announced that they had received the top prize, the reaction was shown by the following remarks: ?those three boys dressed as women did a great job,? and ?they really reached the audience by gradually drawing the people in,? and even ?they used last year?s experience to make this a fabulous performance.?
The first year students already started thinking about what they could do for next year after seeing what the J4B class did. In fact, the determination with which the students were looking forward to next year?s party showed how a great school tradition is born.
Let?s have another great year everyone!
