月が綺麗ですね (tsuki ga kirei desu ne - “The moon is beautiful, isn't it?”) is a Japanese way to say "I love you". In this scene from Suikoden, Tengaar says it to Hix, to which he replies how good the fish tastes. Way to go, Hix!
Happy Valentine's! 💕 #suikoden#japanese#ValentinesDay#jrpg
I have spoken to @ThePop and will be taking over JMusicFriday for a while. I already micro-blog on chika and J Idols, so it is no trouble for me. I will be adding and trying out the prompt IdolSunday as well. Open for all idol music J Idol, K Idol, Kaigai Idol
Not sure if I missed the #JMusicFriday prompt, but I did want to share my favorite version of the Creepy-Nuts song that's going round rn. Aohi Rame is SO. DAMN. GOOD.
Google translate is horribly wrong in thinking that the anime "Delicious in Dungeon" is "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" in Japanese.
I'm guessing that google thinks that Anime + Dungeon = DanMachi.
@yon@anianimalsmoe the absence of more specific single words just means we need to add words to describe I guess, and maybe points to the importance of differentiating them immediately vs. not. There are two words for rice in Cantonese depending on whether they are raw ("mai") or cooked ("fan").
got my yearly health check this friday (健康診断 けんこうしんだん)
I need to remember to do my poo samples for the poo test they'll do (検便検査 けんべんけんさ)
便 べん means poo/feces/stool
検査 けんさ test
検 けん by itself means test, so you could read 検便検査 as poo test test if you were being pedantic
for the linux nerds out there 大便 だいべん (daiben, also meaning feces) is close in pronunciation to a certain large distribution that I've heard it's the unofficial name in some quarters
@Jason844 Oh, just realized that said how many beans at a time. Handfuls, definitely. I've seen anime where they throw fistfuls like a major-league pitcher, so I guess have fun.😆
In 2009, @lego and #Japanese retailer Muji collaborated to create innovative building sets that combined basic #LEGO bricks with Muji’s minimalist #design principles. Despite the concept failing to gain popularity, the team at Studio Playfool in #Japan has revived the idea, creating fun and unusual combinations of LEGO and paper using a hole punch and a template. 🧱📄🤖
I thought this about the paper thing when I saw the bendy guy in the picture.
I remember watching a YouTube video (that was recommended to me again about a week ago, btw) a few years back about it and I thought it was a really cool idea.
It’s a shame that LEGO don’t redesign the hole punch and reintroduce this. It’s a great way for people to get creative and have more fun, especially if they only own a few bricks.
Due to the fact that Sports will be playing all day and I will be subjected to various yelling, shouting, and cheering from all sides with no escape, please enjoy this little ditty from Garfunkel and Oates
