North Shore Boot Camp

Morning session: Happy girl at Happy Haleiwa! 

Anata ga zutto suki datta!

This really popular drama called “Anata ga zutto suki datta” came out in June of 1992.  That’s the exact time I moved to Japan so I got addicted to watching it every Thursday nights at 8pm.  I didn’t understand any Japanese at the time and there are no subtitles.  But I could somehow relate to what was happening.  A creepy guy named Fuyuhiko-san driving his lovely wife crazy.  This was the start of my addiction to Japanese dramas that taught me most of the Japanese I know now.  And it also got me addicted to the song “Namida no kiss” by the Southern All Stars.  I memorized every single word from this song and whenever I hear it, it makes me happy!
