AISubs v3.5
How did you like the first episode of "Nogi English" everyone?
We really learned a lot, didn't we?
Yes, we did.
I didn't know that "like" could be used so much.
It's not my opinion, it's everyone's opinion.
I just said it as a connection for everyone to come out.
How about you, Maya?
I didn't know that "like" could be used so much.
It's not my opinion, it's everyone's opinion.
But I feel like I can speak English more and more from now on.
I'm happy about it.
But Hiroto was also under a lot of pressure and said "I can't make a mistake".
I was a little nervous.
But your English was great.
Thank you very much.
You're so native.
Are you good at English?
No, I'm not good at it.
Oh, I see.
Then let's do the same thing.
No, but I think I'm good at it.
I see.
You're brave.
Where did you get that confidence from?
I don't know.
This smells fishy.
She said she doesn't know.
Hello, everyone.
This is the second episode of "Nogi English".
To learn English that you can use in everyday life,
Nogizaka46 members are working hard.
Congratulations!
Oh, teacher!
Yes, hello!
Thank you for inviting me again here at Nohiaigo.
Thank you! Nice to meet you again!
Nice to meet you, teacher!
No one is responding here.
It's OK, it's OK.
Anyway, if you make a mistake, you will be laughed at.
The more you are laughed at, the better you will be at English.
So, anyway, laugh a lot, participate a lot and try to make mistakes more and more.
That's the best way you can speak English.
So, today, we asked you to memorize one song by ear copy.
Oh, it's coming up.
The one who will memorize it.
In this program, you will hear only the sound of the song that will be your task and memorize it by ear copy and perform it in front of everyone.
So, today's song is "the sound of silence".
Suzuki san, do you know what "sound of silence" means?
I don't know what "sound of silence" means at all.
I don't know it either.
What!?
Well, let me translate it for you.
"Sound" is "oto", right? "Silence" is "chinmoku".
What does "chinmoku no oto" mean?
I don't know it, either.
Well, entertainers often say "shin" when they slide.
"Shin" when they slide.
I do it a lot, you know.
"Chinmoku" doesn't have "oto", but "chinmoku no oto" and "sound of silence" are very philosophical titles.
"simon and garfunkel - the sound of silence" is a meaningful title, but it was also the theme song of the 1960s movie.
Let's listen to it one by one.
"dusty desert of grain" "dusty desert of grain sweeping" "dusty thunder, thunder, thunder" "undervision" "I was planted in my brain" "story deep" "between the ends of silence"
Oh no! What should I do? I don't know at all!
There was a problem of singing ability before English.
What should I do? What should I do?
You picked up several words.
The most important word was "vision", and you also knew "silence".
And "friends", "friends".
"Our friends".
But you said "thunder", "thunder", "thunder"
No, I didn't say it. I said "thunder" for sure.
The choreography was also Japanese-like.
Like "bonodori".
Oh no!
But it's fine, it's fine.
But you picked up three very important words.
Oh, really?
Yes.
That's wonderful.
Are you okay?
Yeah!
Yeah! You're ready!
Okay!
Three, two, one, go!
Hana Benja (flower danger)
Say again (say again)
Oh my, oh my god (oh my, oh my god)
Gobenasai (I'm sorry)
Osai (save me)
Owatta (it's over)
Owachita (it's over)
You have a great imagination
Thank you very much
Dog smile friend
At the end, you put money in your wallet
Osai (save me)
Gobenasai (I'm sorry)
Osai (save me)
You wrote this paper, didn't you?
Yes, I did
Show me what you wrote
This is it
It's really written
Hello dog smile friend
It's really written
What is this Hana Benja (flower danger)
Hana Benja (flower danger)
What is this Hana Benja (flower danger)
I don't know but it's written
Is it?
It's not Hana Benja (flower danger) it's Hana ga kiken da (flower is dangerous)
Gobenasai (I'm sorry)
Osaifu (wallet)
It's messed up
But it starts from there
Don't be afraid of mistakes
Please sing with loud voice
You practiced a lot, didn't you?
I practiced but when I heard everyone's singing, it got messed up
It's messed up!
You messed it up!
The point is you don't listen
If you crazy soul (if you crazy soul)
Crazy soul (if you crazy soul)
But you don't know it (but you don't know it)
Wow you sang so clearly
Bedoffi-chan you goody (Bedoffi-chan you goody)
Somu-ge (Bedoffi-chan you goody)
It sounds like Korean
You sang in Japanese all of a sudden and then you sang in Korean
Somu-ge (Bedoffi-chan you goody)
You're amazing
And I became white
Wow
I remembered it well
But I became white
You became white
And you were like "Whatever, I'll sing in Japanese"
I wanted to speak in Japanese
But you didn't change your face colour
You sang in Japanese all of a sudden and then you sang in Korean
Pizza crispy
My heart is pounding
Alright
Silence
Silence was right
Didn't you say something like pizza crust in the middle?
Crispy, it was crispy
Crispy crispy
And there is one more person who could hear "crispy"
Don't be nervous
I know
Make mistakes in a loud voice
Are you ready?
How dark is my own land
It goes by so very crispy
She's so drowsy and sleeping
You were in that pizza article again, weren't you?
You were in "choy choy crispy"
I don't know where that "choy choy crispy" comes from
- I know! - You know?
- I know where it is! - Ah, there it is!
- You know where it is?! - You know?!
- I know! - You know?!
- There! - Why are you two...
There it is!
- Why?! - I don't know!
Not even the cameraman knows where it is!
And last up is Miss Hirata. Show everybody how it's done.
- She's from Arizona, right? - Yes, Arizona.
- Then let's hear the original Arizona song. - Yes, let's do it!
3, 2, 1, go!
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left to see while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sounds of sad...
Wow!
After listening to the answer, I could understand why you said "hanadenger" and "krispy"
It's a perfect answer
I see
Yay!
This song is really difficult
But it's a famous song
It's a theme song of a movie called "Graduation"
There was a movie called "Dustin Homan" where he took his wife and ran away from the wedding venue
It's a very famous song
Everyone knows it
What impression did you get from this song?
The feeling of this song
It's a lonely song
Yes, it's a lonely song
It's a lonely song
It's very dark
Yes, it's dark
It's dark
Just listening to it makes me want to cry
Let's look at the lyrics
Yes
Hello darkness my old friend
This part is "Hello darkness, konnichiwa, kurayami, boku no furukkara no yujin"
I don't know why I can't understand Japanese
There is a story that Paul Simon, who wrote the lyrics, thought of the lyrics while meditating by turning off the light in the bathroom
Maybe he thought of this song while meditating by turning off the light in the bathroom
Boku no furukkara no yujin, kurayami, kimi to mouichido hanashini kitayo
Maybe he went into the bathroom in the dark
In the city in the dark
Because my vision's soft and really creeping
"Creeping", "crispy"
This is what "crispy" sounds like
Shinobiotte kuru
"Shinobiotte kuru" means "creeping", right?
That's right
"Aru vision", "aru gensou" is "yasashiku", "softly", "creeping", "shinobiotte kuru"
When you are in the dark, "aru gensou" creeps in and comes out
Actually, "vision" comes out in another place
This sounded completely different
Under the vision
This part is "hana" "danger"
Damn it!
"Hana" "danger"
And here is the problem including the title phrase
It's a little difficult, so please explain it to us, teacher
I don't know why
The sound of silence
There is no sound in silence, right?
Yes
That's why this illusion remains in this person's head as if there is a sound.
Of course, the interpretation of these lyrics is free, right?
You can interpret it freely.
Yes
simon and garfunkel - the sound of silence
It was a song like this.
Well, from here, we will pick up one keyword of the day and fold it down.
This time, it's a word you can definitely use.
sound
"sound" may sound easy.
"sound" means...
Well, first of all, what does it mean?
sound
It's "sound", right?
It was in a famous musical, right?
dore mi, dore mi
sound of music
Yes, "sound of music" is the melody of music, right?
Well, let me give you a little warm-up here.
sound of music
Instead of "music", put in another word and announce your favorite sound.
What kind of sound do you like, Ms. Kitano?
I like the sound of...
animal...
voice.
Oh, I like the sound of animal voice.
Oh, that's great!
Great!
Okay, it's your turn, Ms. Kawago.
What kind of sound do you like?
I like the sound of...
rainy.
Oh!
Rain.
Yeah, I like the sound of rain.
Rain.
I like the sound of rain.
I like the sound of rain. It's a romantic song.
Right?
She's changed.
She's become more and more like a woman.
No, no, no!
What about rain sounds? I love rain sounds.
Rain sounds when I go to bed.
I don't know. It's lonely.
Lonely? It's cheerful.
Next up is Ms. Maya.
What kind of sound do you like?
I like the sound of ice.
The sound of ice in a glass.
That's amazing!
Lastly, please announce your favorite sound of today's guest, Ms. Holly.
I see. You like the sound of cooking.
Do you cook often?
Sometimes.
Oh, you're busy.
What about when you cook yourself?
What about when your mom cooks for you?
You don't like it?
Yes.
You don't like it?
You only like the sound of you cooking?
No, I like it.
Oh, you like it.
Everyone, it seems like you've mastered the basic usage of "sound".
In this way, just by connecting words after "sound of", you can express the phrase "something's sound".
Speaking of "sound of nature", it's "sound of nature".
Speaking of "sound of screaming", it's "sound of screaming".
In this way, you can use "sound" as "sound", but there's an even greater usage of it.
That's right!
You use it when you greet someone.
When you go abroad, the most difficult thing is to greet someone, isn't it?
When you greet someone and they talk to you, isn't it difficult for you to say your impressions of them?
There are many people who say "yeah", "yeah, yeah", "yes, yes, yes", but there are still people who want you to say something.
In that case, you can use "sound" in another way.
Another usage of "sound" is "sounds...something".
For example, what does "nice" mean?
"nice", "nice", "nice"...
"Sound" means "to hear".
So, "nice" means "to hear", "to hear well" means "nice" as well.
For example, if someone invites you to a party and you want to go,
but you say "I want to go", it's a little different.
Instead of saying "I like to go" or "I want to go", you can say "sounds nice" and that's it.
"Spot".
"Spot" is "nice".
"Sounds nice".
Now, let's master "nice" greetings.
If someone says something positive, you can say "sounds nice" or "sounds good" in response.
The members will talk about something positive that happened recently, and you can say "nice" afterwards.
Now, Kitano-san!
Yes!
You can connect words with something that happened recently.
Please say it!
Yesterday, I eat unagi. Very very umai.
Sounds good!
"Unagi" is "eel" in English.
"Eel" "eel" "eel" "eel" "eel"
"very very umai" "very very good"
"yummy" "yummy" "good"
"delicious" is also fine.
"delicious" is an exaggeration.
"yummy" "good"
Sounds nice and delicious, Miss Kitano!
But Japanese is not good.
In this case...
Yesterday, I ate eel. It was very very good.
Next up is Miss Holly.
Please tell us about "sounds good".
Miss Holly, what happened to you recently?
Yesterday, I like...
Roast beef. Eat. Happy.
Ready, go!
Sounds good!
That's right! When you say this greeting, the conversation becomes very smooth, right?
Miss Kitano and Miss Holly, you always talk about food, don't you?
Yesterday, I ate roast beef. I liked it and I'm happy. Isn't it good to say like that?
And let's take a look at other greetings besides "that's good"!
There is another one like this. Do you know this one? "sounds interesting"!
Sounds... interesting...
Dream...
Important...
This one is... "interesting"!
When you say "interesting", you say "interesting"!
And... "sounds scary"!
Scary...
Scream...
This one is... "scary"...
"scary"...
"scary"... and...
"sounds terrible"!
"terrible" is not "table" but "hidoi" (means "terrible" in Japanese)
"sounds bad" can also mean "hidoi" or "iya da ne" (means "no" in Japanese)
"sounds sad" can also mean "kanashii ne" (means "sad" in Japanese)
Now, it's practice time!
Let's make Ms. Hirata look like a foreign friend,
listen to her story and make appropriate signals!
Everyone, please make signals in English.
Is it OK? Shall we practice first?
Yes.
OK, repeat after me.
sounds good
sounds interesting
sounds scary
sounds terrible
sounds bad
sounds sad
Now, please make some signals.
Now, Ms. Nojo, please say that funny thing again.
sounds interesting
Say it again!
sounds sad
sounds interesting
Say it again!
sounds interesting
Say it again!
interesting
oh, OK
Don't say "oh, OK"!
OK, Ms. Nojo, give it a try! Can you understand what she is saying?
I went to the hair salon last week in Shibuya and I got a really bad haircut.
sounds sad
Yeah!
Yeah, you passed!
Did I say it right?
Yeah, you said it right!
I didn't understand anything.
I know what you said!
Shibuya...
It's Shibuya, right?
Oh, it's Shibuya!
I went to a hospital in Shibuya.
Yeah, you did!
I went to a hospital in Shibuya, but my haircut didn't go well.
Oh, I see!
Wow!
What happened all of a sudden?
Your haircut is getting better and better!
What happened all of a sudden?
Wow!
It was great!
Wow!
When you listen to music, you have to pay attention to the other person's facial expressions.
Their facial expressions are very easy to understand.
Next up is Ms. Kawago. Here we go!
I found this haunted house down the street. It looks so evil!
Sounds...interesting!
Hmm...
Well...
No...
Even so...
Even so, it's okay!
Okay!
She said "all-powerful", didn't she?
You're right!
You're right! You're right!
Yay!
Ms. Kawago, why don't you tell us why you said "all-powerful"?
Well...
The story of the haunted house is...
The road?
Yes!
The road to the haunted house is...
I found! Found!
The haunted house is...
That's impossible!
You don't know anything about it!
You don't know the road to the haunted house!
I knew it!
What's with you? You're starting a fight!
So...
The haunted house looks so evil!
It looks so evil!
That's what she said.
So...
After hearing that...
Well, usually...
"Ah, sounds scary!" is what you expect, but...
But there are people who like scary things, right?
There are people who like that sort of thing, right?
That person said...
Sounds interesting!
They want to go to a scary place like that.
Let's go next time!
Ah, let's go!
Yay!
Let's go!
Next up is Miss Kitano! Here we go!
When I was washing my hands, I dropped my ring down the drain.
"Wash my hands," she said.
Sung...
Hot...
Bath...
Huh? She's right!
No, but she was right just now!
I don't know. Are you saying she was right?
Like... Suzuki-san's reaction was kind of sad...
You were looking at that?
It's Suzuki-san's fault!
No, I... I was just looking at anything normally...
Suzuki-san, did you know just now?
I don't know at all.
Did anyone know just now?
It seems like no one knew, so Miss Hirata, one more time, please!
Then, I'll do a gesture, okay?
I washed my hands.
No! I dropped my ring!
You were right!
No, you knew just now!
You were guessing just now!
You knew just now, right?
I knew just now!
You were guessing just now!
I... I... I have one request...
Slow... Slow... English...
Okay! Okay!
She's the only one who's dirty! Everyone's doing it under the same conditions!
That's also important!
So, for example, as an American, it's natural for you to speak fast, so...
You think of American words like world words and speak fast, but...
"Slowly... Slowly..." If you say it first, people on the other side will know it better, so...
That's a good point!
Ah, I see!
Good point!
It's important to say "Slowly"...
Okay! Then... "Slowly"... Please!
What's wrong?
Is it wrong?
Huh?
I'm looking forward to riding the train tomorrow!
Yesterday!
Yesterday...
I lost my wallet yesterday. My wallet.
Wallet? Wallet.
Wallet. Wallet.
I didn't have money yesterday.
Don't use that hand gesture!
My wallet. My...
Ah, I see. The one you mentioned earlier.
Wallet.
The notebook...
The one you mentioned last time!
You mentioned it last time and you wrote it down!
At the end of it!
See? "I'm sorry."
Ah!
My...
My wallet!
You almost said it!
My wallet...
You dropped it?
Lost.
You dropped it!
Scary!
It's not scary!
You're wrong!
You finally got it, Miss Maya!
In this case, "sounds terrible" makes you sound more intimate.
If you master "sounds ____" you'll be able to listen better.
You'll be able to be more intimate with your friends.
"sound" has many other uses for these useful words.
He is sound asleep.
"Asleep" means he's asleep.
He's sound asleep.
What does it mean? Think about it!
Yes!
Say something!
"Asleep" means he's asleep.
"He's asleep" means he's asleep.
He's sound asleep.
What does it mean?
Yes!
He's sleeping while listening to music.
Yes, anything else?
He's making a sound.
Yes, anything else?
He's sleeping like he's dead.
Now, Hirata-san, what's the answer?
He's...
dead...
very sound asleep.
That's right.
"He's sound asleep" means he's asleep.
I'm sorry for giving you the wrong answer.
No, no, it's wonderful.
When you study English, it's important to learn simple words.
You don't have to learn only difficult words.
There are various meanings of words like "sound" and "like".
The simpler the word, the more meaning it has in everyday conversation.
That's why we're specializing in simple words like "like" and "sound".
So, today's keyword was "sound".
You can use it not only in everyday conversation but also in various ways.
Finally, let's sing "the sound of silence" by Simon and Garfunkel one more time.
Everybody, stand up!
Yes!
Are you ready?
Sound good!
Alright, 3, 2, 1, go!
It's dark!
I love you, my love friend
I hope that we'll stay together again
Because our vision's so many things to be
Let's just sing what our love should be
And that vision, that's what's in it in my brain
It's telling me
The reason of the sound of silence
Great job, everybody!
It's not really a song about "yeah"!
