Nishika and Takagi’s class discusses what committees they plan to join.

生徒(せいと):
「次(つぎ)の時間(じかん)委員会(いいんかい)決(ぎ)めだよねー。」
“Next up is deciding the committee schedule, right?”
Literal: “The next period is deciding committees, right?”
生徒(せいと):
「私(わたし) 何(なに)にしよー」
“What should I pick?”
Literal: “What should I make mine?”
生徒(せいと):
「私(わたし) 放送(ほうそう)委員(いいん)で好(す)きな音楽(おんがく)流(なが)したいー。」
“I want to play my favorite music as a member of the broadcasting committee.”
Literal: “I want to be on the broadcasting committee and play music I like.”

放送(ほうそう) here refers to the transmission over the school’s broadcast system.

Key Points

1放送(ほうそう)委員(いいん) = the school broadcasting committee
  • In this scene, 放送(ほうそう) means announcements or audio being sent out over the school’s speaker system, so 放送(ほうそう)委員(いいん) is the committee in charge of that broadcasting work.
2Casual spoken form: 好(す)きな音楽(おんがく)(を)流(なが)したい
  • In natural speech, the object marker を is often omitted, so 好(す)きな音楽(おんがく)流(なが)したい is a casual shortening of 好(す)きな音楽(おんがく)を流(なが)したい.
