Japanese Script

やっぱりインターネットとか、いろんなものが普ふ及きゅうしてきてるから、いろんな、こう、こういう仕し事ごとはなんていうのかな？とか、こういう仕し事ごとどうしたらいいのかな？とか調しらべやすくなった、っていうのもあるんですかね。いろんなね、名な前まえもわかるようになって、いろんなね、新あたらしい言こと葉ばで、が出でてきて*1、新あたらしくはないのかもしれないですけど。知しらなかった言こと葉ばとかがね、たくさん出でてきて、へぇーすごいなぁと、ねぇ。もうほんとにね、憧あこがれの職業しょくぎょうなんて昔むかしからそんなにね、変かわらないのかなって、イメージ的てきにね、あのー、順番じゅんばんがね、順じゅん位いが前ぜん後ごしたりとかね、その年としによってアナウンサーになりたいっていう子こたちがいっぱいいたりとか、声優せいゆうさんになりたいっていう子こたちがいっぱいいた時期じきとか、ねぇ。アイドルになりたいっていう子こ供どもたちがたくさんだった時ときとか、そういうのでね、ちょっとしたね、変へん化かかなと、ぐらいしかね、思おもってなかった私わたしが大おお間ま違ちがいでしたね。うーん。

English Translation

Title: The Longed-for Occupation　Personality: Chiy Chiy
As expected, because various things like the internet are becoming common, it has become easy to check into something like “what is this job?” or “what should we do for this job?”, things like this. Various names have also come to be understood, various new words are coming out*1, but they might not be new. There are a lot of things like unknown words coming out. It’s impressive isn’t it? Really, longed-for occupations from long ago have not changed so much. Imaginatively speaking, um, the sequential order…the ranking gets revised. Or depending on that year, there were a great deal of children who said they want to become an announcer, another time a great deal of children who said they want to become a voice actor, weren’t there? One time there were a lot of children said they want to become an idol. I only thought that a kind of minor change was happening, but I was completely wrong. Hmmm.

Notes: Japanese Grammar and Vocabulary

1. With the phrase 「新あたらしい言こと葉ばで、が出でてきて」, the correct word was 「新あたらしい言こと葉ばが出でてきて」, but she made a mistake and corrected herself.
