Nori nori nori

Does Judy Crystal sing about seaweed?
Maybe it isn't Japanese, but she says she's Tokyo's superstar... Hm.
Maybe the word has another meaning here? And what about para?

Solviさん、
Hello, and thanks for the question! :D I just checked the link, and I don't think she is talking about seaweed. I think she is talking about nori nori・のりのり, which can mean to really get into something! Alc.co.jp gives this example, "nori nori odoru" - to dance like crazy! I think this is probably the nuance she was going for, but we should probably run it by Judy-chan herself as you know singers. :wink: (She also uses nori nori nori, when it is usually twice, nori nori.)

Thanks a lot!
It would've been funnier if she was singing about seaweed though... :P

Maybe she's really into seaweed then.

Jason-san,
Yes, that's definately a possibility, and the reason I listed it. Let's send her an email. :wink:

Haha!
My friends and I dance to this song on DDR all the time, so next time I'll impress them and tell them that it is about being into seaweed... I think they won't trust the Japanese I learn from JP101 after that...
