Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU)

Description

We took 72 basic onomatopoeia words, which are considered difficult for exchange students to master, and videotaped how they are used in the lives of university students. The videos are designed to be generally understandable to students at the N1 level, but the descriptions are at the superlative level.
