Song of Doraemon has been one of the most popular Japanese anime songs in Asia for decades.
Even Chinese smile at this video now.

Hello, ARTESH.
Searching in Youtube with "atsugiri jason kanji english sub" looks the best first step toward learning it in my opinion

It's like a matrix like this

a-i-u-e-o
ka-ki-ku-ke-ko
sa-si-su-se-so
ta-ti-tu-te-to
na-ni-nu-ne-no
ha-hi-hu-he-ho
ma-mi-mu-me-mo
ya-(i)-yu-(e)-yo
ra-ri-ru-re-ro
wa-(i)-(u)-(e)-wo
+n

At the primary school, I remembered each head order like
a-ka-sa-ta-na-ha-ma-ya-ra-wa

When I was a kid, I thought all people in the world speak one language which I speak because my speaking always comes from my image in the brain directly

Ms. Sanae Takaichi (1961-).
She is currently one of the next Japanese PM candidates.
I have ever met her as a friend of my friend about 35 years ago when she came back from the US after study.
She looked so shy and modest she did not look a future politician at all. Though I don't know if time may have changed her or nothing may have changed inside her, I'm wishing her good luck.

Good study, ARTESH
You will understand how katakanas came from Chinese characters like this -

(i) イ ← 伊 (i)
(ka) カ ← 加 (ka)

Yes, just right now finished watching some YT videos about the Japanese language and its history. Also some videos about history of Japan, mostly before WW1 era.

A super typhoon is almost hitting the Japanese islands.
Typhoon always reminds me of the air-raid by B-29s as my parents understood the raid as a sort of typhoon.

They have visibly aged a lot since the marriage was first announced many years ago.
The fact that they have kept together despite all the dramas says they are fully committed to each other.
