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!

我们来看看道德经的第三章。

不上贤，使民不争；不贵难得之货，使民不为盗；不见可欲，使民不乱。是以圣人之治也，虚其心，实其腹，弱其志，强其骨，恒使民无知、无欲也。使夫知不敢、弗为而已，则无不治矣。

第三章的内容，对许多人来说都是有争议的。Some people may not understand this chapter, because we tend to think intellects are good. 然而，老子看到了有才德的人的问题。In my understanding of this chapter, it means intellects bring about ego, which is not align with Tao. 表面上突出的事物会带来争斗。老子追求的是顺其自然，无为而治。竞争和欲望可以导致战乱，When I said the sage weakens people’s ambition, you may disagree, because our time is the age of ambition and everyone want to become better. But this also makes people anxious and overload. Lao Tzu advocates letting go and non-doing, go with how things are. 当所有人都满足于自己的生活，天下就会太平，不会有争斗。

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
