#005 My Favorite Korean Artist

I've seen three of her concerts, one of which included a screening of one of her films and a discussion.

この文章には of が3つもある。her concerts が数えられるグループで、その中の3回が私が行ったコンサートで、そのうちの1回は、彼女の映画作品の中のひとつの上映を含むものだった、というこの表現は、すごい英語っぽいと思った。日本語だと数がこれほど具体的には意識されていない気がする。

発音としてはもちろんofはとても弱いので、読んでみると案外読みやすかった。

Korea and Japan are geographically and culturally close,

and indie musicians from both nations routinely visit each other.

My favorite Korean artist is Lee Lang. She's best known for her music,

but is also a multi-artist who creates comics, writes essays, and shoots films.

I've seen three of her concerts, one of which included a screening of one of her films and a

discussion. She speaks some Japanese, but not fluently. However, she spoke almost entirely

without an interpreter. I was so impressed by what she said and how she spoke.

She attempted to get to the truth with simple words. Her thoughts were profound,

humble, confident, and at the same time, very funny. I wish I could be like her,

no matter what language I'm speaking. In Japan, she performs with Japanese

subtitles on the screen behind her so that the audience can understand her songs.

Here's my favorite song of hers with English subtitles.
