living thing = 生き物 (いきもの)
One of my favorite Japanese words.
There's a band called Ikimono-gakari (いきものがかり )
They're quite popular with my high school and college students.
For beginner to perhaps intermediate-level students, Japanese words, phrases, and expressions, as learned by an American living in Tokyo. . Some of it I pick up through my surroundings--slang, abbreviated terms, or new katakana-ized words that have recently entered the Japanese language; some words are straight-up conventional vocab that I've found helpful to know, either in the classroom (where I teach English) or in everyday life. And there are also words that just make me smile.
