    • It's the sound of my Sakurako box arriving at my front door As a sponsor of this video They allow anyone to experience Japan through the comfort of their own home And once I've got it in my hands I can't wait to open up this lovely Japanese artisan snack box It's always unique to the month itself The special theme this month is the seasons of sakura You know, to celebrate Japan's blooming cherry blossoms It's always a cool surprise to see what items I get Like the sakura daifuku, umesenbei, sakura manju, etc But my first taste this month Is gonna be these brown buttery strawberry waffle cookies Oh yeah, and I also got this sakura tea to pair with the snacks And even this sakura sake glass With all these delicious themed snacks It's like having a hanami picnic in my own house And apparently this time if you sign up for a multi-month plan You get a special sakura bonus item So get your own box today Or even gift a loved one and experience Japan from the comfort of your own home Check the links below and use my code PAOLO and get $5 off your first order Number six Okay, so these sounds should be getting a little bit harder to recognize But let's see So this one is Japan's standardized morning calisthenics song Known as Rajo Taiso If you've watched a lot of my day in life videos Which I'm hoping you have Then you've probably got this one correct Originally created to promote health awareness The Tokyo Broadcasting Station started broadcasting this one in 1928 Which quickly spread as a morning assembly routine in elementary and middle schools For many Japanese, the experience of doing these calisthenics Every morning as an elementary school student And getting their card stamped is a shared memory Personally, I don't think I would have minded too much If I had to do this when I was in the US growing up Number seven So pay close attention to this one Two Did you get that?

    • Anyway, this sound is the bell sound at all Japanese schools From elementary school all the way to high school And it's used to signal the beginning and the end of class It's known as the Kinkon Kankon bell sound And modeled after the sound of Big Ben Originally, a loud bell sound was used But after World War II, it became unpopular Because it reminded people of wartime alarms Hence, the more cheerful time signal was invented Strangely, although I didn't go to school here from K through 12 I actually thought this sound was the same sound that I had in the US But I don't know, I may be wrong Maybe I just lived here too long that I think it is But yeah, you guys tell me Number nine This one you might have heard before But do you know what it's for?
