Today we had a culture day in my Japanese class since we just finished up a chapter. (I go to college, btw) Both the professor and the assistant are Japanese natives, so they decided to make takiyaki (sp? yuck) and play Japanese music videos. Needless to say, I was stoked, and hoping for Ayu action.
Come to find out that the assistant had taped the last NHK Utagassen and was going to show select performances. Oh boy. It started off innocent enough...Ai's performance was awesome, we watched a little enka...DJ OZMA slipped in there SOMEHOW...and then she showed Ayu. I had completely forgotten about the Bo-Peep dress...although I had anticipated a bad vocal performance. (Which, IMO, I got, but I digress)
Can you imagine that nobody who already knew Ayu (read: one other person in my class) was that impressed?
Oh well. I was still gushing about her, and managed to get one of my classmates to borrow my CDs to try out.
So here's the discussion: has Ayu made it into your classroom? How, and in what medium? Did anybody care? =P
