あなたと一緒に桜を見たいです

According to my research, hiragana and katakana are both derived from Manyokana. After the introduction of Chinese characters into Japan, all the original pronunciation of Japanese would be replaced by a single Chinese character. Then these characters are called Manyokana, which means borrowed from Chinese characters. As the ancient Chinese characters are quite complicated to write, Manyokana has been simplified over time. By the Heian period( 平安時代 ), there were basically two separate writing systems. One is the hiragana, the common kana, which evolved from the cursive style Manyokana. The other is a katakana evolved from the regular script of the Manyokana, that is, incomplete kana. (Left column: Katakana; Right column: Kanji) Now, there are several reasons for using katakana. For example, foreign words, onomatopoeia words and so on. And the overall pronunciation is almost the same as katakana.

Shelter a short music film made by Robinson, Madeon and A-1 Pictures, a Japanese animation studio. The music part is made by Robinson as well as Madeon, the two famous DJs, and the visual part is made by A-1 Pictures. There are three major reasons why I want to share it with you. First, of course, the music. Second, the story of a lonely girl and a man(her father) who loves her very much, it really touched me. Last, the implication of this music video -- when you are facing the most challenging thing in your life with yourself, could you afford all the negative emotions and come over it? I am not going to explain all the things here, leave some mysteries to you. Although it is an English song, the main character(Rin) and the whole story happens in Japan, therefore, you will see many Japanese elements inside this mv. And the most important part -- the monologue of  Rin -- is also in Japanese. I hope you guys enjoy this music video.
