About Class
In this class we will study Japanese through the popular song 上を向いて歩こう (ue wo muite arukou), a.k.a. known as “Sukiyaki” in English. 上を向いて歩こう was popularized in Japan and internationally in the early 60s, and many artists have recorded covers and variations of the song since. This song is great for learning because the singer sings slowly and there is a lot of repetition.
This class is largely based off of the format of Lauren A’s “Japanese Through Anime Music” Series. I highly recommend it for not only the educational value, but also for the fun and the music!

Syllabus
Prerequisites
