Does anyone know anything bout the JOY programme at yokohama national university ...

Japanese Language
The JOY Programme, in addition to offering a wide variety of Japanese language classes at YNU, also offers culture classes. These assist students understand the very different mindset of the youth in Japan and include courses such as:

1. Enjo Kosai for beginners - "Gucci, Prada and the JOY *uck Club"
2. Advanced Enjo Kosai - "Jumping for JOY"
3. Karaoke - "In JOYful strains, then let us sing"
4. Anime 101 - "Sailor Moon and Seaman Stains"
5. Train groping - "JOY riding"
6. J-Police - "JOY Division" and
7. Aum - "The Joy of Sects"

Just kidding The real website is here

I'm sure you'll have a ball.

Hey kurohinge1

Maybe your JOY programme is more joyful than theirs - You should market it

You're right that the real JOY program doesn't seem to have much that would inspire joy...

You'll just have to make up for it outside the classroom! Shouldn't be too hard.

I'm trying sooo hard to resist posting Third Dog Night lyrics...

Kurohinge's alternate JOY program looks like far more fun, I have to say.

"Resistance is futile" ...

JOY to the World

Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine

...

Jeremiah was, of course, Japanese and the wine was rice wine.

I also found this juicy morsel of trivia:

[quote="threedognight.com"]... We ended up signing with Dunhill-ABC Records, but we still needed a name," Wells says.

Hence the famous story about the origin of the name Three Dog Night. It was a phrase used by aborigines in the Australian outback to describe how cold it could get]
