I went to different websites and saw katakana. The katakana were primarily used for words that hiragana doesn't have characters for. I looked up anime covers to see if any used katakana, and I found this anime that uses it on the cover. Most of the words in katakana, when sounded out, sound like a word in English. Many non-Japanese names use katakana, similar to the exercise we did in class, sounding out famous people's names.

わたしのしみわスポーツ(supootsu)とおんがくとアニメ（anime) がすきです。 I like sports, music, and anime. I played soccer all of my life and it is my favorite sport to watch. I love listening to all genres of music but my favorite artists are The Weeknd and Olivia Rodrigo. My brother got me into watching anime and my favorite anime is Attack on Titan.

My favorite anime that I’ve watched is   Attack on Titan . It’s a really popular show, and my brother introduced it to me about   two years ago . We ended up binge-watching the whole series together, and it was honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. I also recommend watching   Japanese vlogs   because they help you understand the language in a more natural way. You can pick up on common phrases, mannerisms, and how people actually speak in everyday life, which makes it really helpful if you’re trying to learn more about Japanese culture. Another thing I love is   90s Japanese pop music , especially the song   “Stay With Me” by Miki Matsubara . It’s such a catchy song and has a really nice nostalgic vibe, and I never get tired of listening to it.
