The things I never expected to hear from my former Japanese superior. XD
For some reason, I remembered this one time a few months ago when my Japanese superior from the place I was interning at suddenly came up to me and asked whether I've heard/ I know the meaning of nama no koe. After discussing the meaning with him based on the words used ("Maybe something like raw voice? Live voice?"), I tried asking one of my Japanese friends later on that night.
Me: Do you know what "nama no koe" is?
S: It means "real voice", saying what you truly feel.
Me: Ohhhh, I see!
S: Why do you ask?
Me: Ah, someone asked me about it earlier.
S: ......You're going out with someone now?!?!!?
Me: HAHAHA, of course not, stupid! XDDDD
He thought I was being confessed to something. HAHAHA. Uhh, my superior's like 9 years older than me, and he's a very firm person. I doubt he even sees me that way, given our wide age gap. Anyway, there was this one other instance where I learned a very, very interesting fact about him when we got on the topic about how I liked Arashi:
T: Oh, you like Arashi?
Me: Yes! 8D
T: Sakurai was actually my classmate during university.
Me: ?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Me: You studied in Keio University, sir?
T: Yes, that's right. He was just a classmate though.
Me: D: *still kind of shocked LOL*
It's funny how I didn't even meet anyone who personally knew Arashi during my stay in Japan, but here I was, in my own country, and someone appears saying he was a classmate of my favorite member during university days. D: I was really tempted to ask a lot of things about Sho while he was studying in university, but I figured that would be really rude (he is my superior, after all) and overly familiar of me to do so. XD But just thinking that they were classmates makes me highly amused. XD
