Sensei, arigatou

Having been blessed with a wonderful Japanese addition to our family I am beginning, slowly, to learn a little of the language. This birthed the idea for a song. This "story" song is about a non-speaker who has a bilingual acquaintance in his life. He wants to express his feelings towards this one and elicits the aid of a teacher. His lessons are very basic and the "Sensei" guides him in expressing his devotion. It doesn't go as he hoped. This story is "fictional" except for the broken heart. I think "many" can draw from that well.

I love watching your videos. You have such a calming voice. Every since you used a comb to strum the autoharp I’ve been a fan.

Thank you so much!

This was interesting. I had no idea you were into learning Japanese. I liked the melody a lot too. 🤩

[@RobertBander]

Well, you inspired the finger picking. My Japanese daughter in law inspires my attempts at the language. The story is...a story.

@@RobertBander I'm so happy you are combining the two sources of inspiration. I hope she enjoys this as much as I.
