Hi, I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
A couple of weeks ago I went to a gig in Kutchan and I really enjoyed it. It was the first time I’d seen live music in quite a while. It was an artist called KGM. And he played the guitar and sang.
¡¡¿ô½µ´ÖÁ°¡¢¶æÃΰ¤ǤȤƤâ³Ú¤·¤¤¥é¥¤¥Ö¤¬¤¢¤ê¤Þ¤·¤¿¡£¡¡ºÇ¶á¡¢¥é¥¤¥Ö¤Ç²»³Ú¤òݤ¤¤Æ¤¤¤Ê¤«¤Ã¤¿¤Î¤Çº£²ó¤ÏËÜÅö¤Ëµ×¤·¤Ö¤ê¤Ç¤·¤¿¡£¡¡¥¢¡¼¥Æ¥£¥¹¥È¤ÏKGM ¤È¸À¤¤¤Þ¤¹¡£¡¡¥®¥¿¡¼¤òÃÆ¤¤Ê¤¬¤é²Î¤¤¤Þ¤·¤¿¡£

He’s from Sendai and this was his first time performing in Hokkaido and his first time performing in a skateboard bowl too.

A woman called Chihiro also sang with him she had a beautiful voice and she sang a Bob Marley song too which was awesome.

After the concert they kindly agreed to do an interview.¡¡And I asked them some questions in my broken Japanese.
The first thing I asked KGM was: How long have you been playing the guitar?

Kia Ora, in Stick News today a 67-year-old woman faces negligence charges after a hit and run in Tokyo that left an elderly woman with a broken leg.

Since last July, it’s been illegal to ride bicycles on most footpaths in Japan.
A 67-year-old woman has just been charged with gross negligence resulting in injury and violation of the Road Traffic Law.
In January, she was riding a bicycle on the footpath in Asakusa, Tokyo when she hit an 84-year-old woman who was walking.
The 84-year-old was on her way to visit Sensoji Temple and suffered a broken leg in the accident but Mainichi news reports the woman on the bicycle failed to stop to help her and fled the scene.
The 67-year-old told police she was in a hurry to go to a karaoke bar.

Yeah, the atmosphere is different depending on the area.¡¡Hokkaido audiences seem shy but also lively.¡¡Sendai audiences are just shy.¡¡And if you go to the West Coast, they’re not at all shy. They’re like, “woo hoo”.¡¡In Hokkaido they listen carefully and they’re enthusiastic, they’re warm.

I’ve enjoyed singing since I was a child, but I didn’t start singing in front of people until when I was at university. I started out performing with friends at events at clubs and it went from there.

Yes. Three years ago, in Kanagawa, at a place called Hayama, in Shonan, they have an event there every year called Bob Marley Songs Day. And I entered the contest. They have a band and the contestants can sing any Bob Marley song they like. And if you win, the prize is a trip to Jamaica.
And I entered the contest and ended up getting the trip to Jamaica. I met a lot of people through that.
It was a great opportunity and a wonderful experience so a lot of Bob’s songs bring back memories of that time.

I thought it would be a very laid-back place because it’s a tropical island. But it wasn’t really. Everyone was hungry, in a good way. They were really full of life and energy and I thought it was a really vibrant country. And wherever you went you could hear music.
Even in residential areas they had all-night parties with really loud music. That was going on everywhere and that really surprised me.
¥µ¥é¤Î¥á¥â¡§
Today's guests are KGM and Chihiro - they are musicians who had a gig here in Niseko recently. I really enjoyed their music as well as talking to them afterwards.
Sometimes I interview people in Japanese. I can't do it as well as in English (of course) - partly because I can't always understand the nuance of their answers. But I always learn something new during the interview and when translating. So I definitely recommend interviewing someone as a way to help your English.
If you speak Japanese, feel free to leave a comment saying how you would have translated something differently. There are usually many ways you can translate the same thing and it's interesting to hear how other people would translate it.
