みんなはカラオケ好き？私はすっごい好きなんだけど、コロナで友だちに会えないから、全然カラオケにいけないんだよね。でもヒトカラ（＝ひとりカラオケ）する勇気ないし…そしたら、switchの「JOYSOUND」を見つけたの！これは家でカラオケができるソフトなんだけど、ソフト自体は無料で自分が使いたい時間だけをチケットで買うっていうものなの。

Do you guys like karaoke? I like it a lot, but I can't go to karaoke at all because I can't see my friends at COVID‑19. But I don't dare to do karaoke alone... Then I found "JOYSOUND" for the Nintendo Switch! The software itself is free, and you buy a ticket for the time you want to use it.


早速使おうと思って、マイク買っちゃった！でも近所迷惑になっちゃうから、マイクにつける防音のやつも買ったよ。これをつけると、隣の部屋にも聞こえないし、大きい声も出せて本当にスッキリするよ。残念なのはカラオケに行ったらPVがあるんだけど、このswitchのほうにはPVがないことかな～。私は好きな歌手のPVを見ながら歌うのが好きだからちょっとそこが物足りないかな。でも、好きな時間に好きなだけ歌えるし、本当これはいい！

I bought a microphone to use it right away! But it would disturb the neighbors, so I also bought a soundproofing kit to attach to the microphone. With this, I can't be heard in the next room, and I can speak louder, so it's really refreshing. Unfortunately, the switch doesn't have any music videos, which is a pity because karaoke places have them. I like to sing while watching the music videos of my favorite singers, so I think that's a little lacking. But I can sing whenever I want and for as long as I want.


曲も15万曲あって、毎月新曲が追加されてるらしいから、歌いたい歌はだいたい見つかると思うよ。ちなみに、私が最近好きな歌手は「FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE(ファンタスティックス・フロム・エグザイル・トライブ)」っていうグループで、この前新曲だしたからその配信を待ってるところだよ。よかったら聞いてみてね！

There are 150,000 songs, and new songs are added every month, so I think you can find almost any song you want to sing. By the way, my new favorite singer is a group called "FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE," and I'm waiting for them to release a new song. You can listen to it if you like!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

北海道旅行の続きです。
今回は4日目の話です。

中標津、なかしべつ、というところから、北に走りました。
北海道の道路といえば、日本ではめずらしく、まっすぐな道が多いです。

そんな中でも日本で2番目に長い道路に行きました。


天に続く道展望台
https://maps.app.goo.gl/kZe5ph5bpyvQix8MA?g_st=ic

この展望台から、
約28kmのまっすぐな道を見ることができます。
季節のタイミングがあえば、まっすぐな道の先に夕日を見ることができます。

他の場所では見ることができない景色です。
特別な場所ですね。


ちなみにまっすぐの道路で1番長いのも北海道にあります。
約29kmです。

海外ではこういったまっすぐな道は多いかもしれないですが、日本はせまい国なので、とてもめずらしいです。

もし、北海道旅行の予定があって、レンタカーを借りる人はぜひ行ってみてください！


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
