Do you know what 'ra-nuki kotoba' is? Apparently quite a lot of students use incorrect language.

She's like a mother to me.

How stupid!

'What's up, you're fidgeting.' 'Ah, well, it seems like the elastic in my underwear snapped.'

Sounds like you both did great today. Your teacher is proud too.

It's like a dream.

'Is Aki off today?' 'Sounds like she let her cold get worse.'

Or rather, it looked like Kensuke had arrived at the studio at the same time as me — the other two were still running late.

Yeah, it seems like it was a misdiagnosis.

I think I caught a cold.
