It's possible, but it's not plausible.

Today's expression is quite simple.

It's possible, but it's not plausible.

To make big hits

Hello. Nice to meet you.
We are

daNpa, an exciting new character from Hokkaido.

Have you noticed the difference between PANDAs and us yet?

We would like to become an internationally popular character like Kitty.

How do you feel?

Even Homer sometimes nods.

Nobody, even a poet as great as the Greek epic writer Homer,
can be at his best or most alert all the time.

Nods here means ‘becomes drowsy, falls asleep';
hence, makes a mistake due to momentary lack of attention’.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Also, if you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If you can't defeat your opponents you might be better off by switching to their side.

Incy wincy spider

六本木ヒルズ蜘蛛のオブジェ☆On November 26th

Have you ever heard this nursery rhyme?
Incy Wincy spider ♪

http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-songs-incy-wincy.htm

Why don't you try to sing?

Incy Wincy spider

Incy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain
And Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again!

How are your schedules of year-end parties?

The parties are an annual event with friends or co-workers, right?

But when it comes to the expenses, we need to brace ourselves for large expenditure, don't we?
,br>The more parties we have, the more money we are
bracing ourselves to spend.

I was truly so glad to receive your thoughtful gifts.

Today, I was given quite wonderful presents
with heartfelt feelings from two students of mine.

One girl brought me 5 persimmons from her family garden.
The other boy gave me a sweet Nama-Yatsuhashi as a souvenir of his school trip for Kyoto.

I'd like to thank you for giving me such heartfelt gifts.
I was truly so happy to get your sincere hearts.
Thank you again with all my heart.

Love,
k_s

My cup runneth over

Yes. My cup runneth over.

You welcome me as an honored guest
and fill my cup to the
brim.
