Mnemonic

You put your fingers and an ear on a stool in the sun so you can get your photograph taken. This is a glamour photo, so you have to be in one of these weird, cheesy poses for it to come out jusssst right.

Hints

Imagine putting your fingers and your ear on a stool, now try to relax your head a little bit, and smile for the camera. This is a professional photograph, so you better do what you're told!

Mnemonic

As you're getting the photograph taken, the photographer suddenly gets angry at you. "You sat (さつ) down!" he screams. "I sat down?" you ask. "Yes! And now the photo is ruined!"

Hints

You've never gotten a professional photograph taken before, but if you had known if you sat(s) down you'd ruin the shot you never would have. Remember everyone, if you sat down while your photo was being taken, you ruined it.
