This year we're sing a Japanese song called "Itsumo Nando Demo" from Studio Gibli's Spirited Away movie. (rough translation: Always Numerous Times. or Always With Me) This year's English song is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from the Musical of the same name, by Robert Sherman. However in Japanese its チキチキバンバン pronounced Chiki, Chiki, Bam, Bam. And explaining"Fine four fendered friend" was hilarious!
Today they practiced the song while looking at my mouth to see how I moved my lips so they can get the right sounds to come out. Felt awkward!
The other Flower Basket members have already performed these songs at two different concerts that I wasn't able to go to so I need to put some time and effort into preparation for our next concert the end of March.
*Flower Basket is the name of the singing group in my community that I unintentionally joined. I thought I was going to a "welcome to town" dinner, they thought I was coming to a "welcome to the singing group" dinner. It all works out in the end.
