Ane/anee, ani/oni, san, kun chan: I'm just going to clear the common misconceptions

posted by pokemonfan909

Okay..so as a fact, learning Japanese door anime is tough. Because, for one thing u need the syllables of you'll make a lot of funny mistakes because Japanese of nihon-go is totally based on syllables. So I'm going to try and make a lijst of the common mistakes which Otakus usually make with the words we use.

1. Ane/anee: Okay. Let me make this clear. In Japanese, the words for 'older brother' and 'older sister' are the same excepting the last syllable. For older sister, the term is ane (pronounced as 'aa-nay') while older brother is ani (pronounced as 'aa-nee'). So if u refer to an older...

Kawaii Monster Cafe Link

This is the link to the "Kawaii Monster Cafe" official site, for some reason it doesn't let me load the link to the "links" in this club.

Kawaii Monster Cafe in Harajuku, Tokyo, opened in the summer of 2015 under the concept of "swallowing everything around the fashion mecca like a monster"!

The cafe was born as a creation of the widely acclaimed modern art designer, Sebastian Masuda, who fascinates the world with his peculiar take on "kawaii" (cuteness).

Having previously worked on the muziek videos of the famous J-pop ster Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Sebastian Masuda incorporated his edgy vision...

posted by anime123rox

Dangerous levels of radiation escaped a quake-stricken nuclear power plant after one reactor's steel containment structure was apparently breached door an explosion, and another reactor building in the same complex caught fire, Japan's leaders told a frightened population. Authorities warned that people within 20 miles of the crippled reactors should stay indoors to avoid being sickened door radiation.

The fast-moving developments at the Fukushima No. 1 (Daiichi) plant, 150 miles north of Tokyo, catapulted the 4-day-old nuclear crisis to an entirely new level, threatening to overshadow even the...

Especially here in Japan!

spleet, spleet, split Mouth Woman (Kuchisake-Onna)

posted by Sasunaru120

The moral of most Japanese urban legends seem to consist of "don't go anywhere door yourself. Ever." The story of the Kuchisake-Onna, of "Split Mouth Woman" is no different. Except that u are doubly unfortunate if u happen to be a child (We assume your legs are stubby and slow and we can thusly outrun you).

If u happen to be a snotty pubescent walking alone one day, u might consider taking a different route if u are suddenly approached door a female figure in a trench-coat. Now, before u assume that this will be a harmless display of kibbles and bits, rest assured: u will be shown...

posted by LidiaIsabel

Princess Kaguya

One day, while walking in the bamboo forest, an old, childless bamboo cutter called Taketori no Okina ("the Old Man who Harvests Bamboo") came across a mysterious, shining stalk of bamboo. After cutting it open, he found inside it a baby the size of his thumb. He rejoiced to find such a beautiful girl and took her home. He and his wife raised her as their own child and named her Kaguya-hime ("radiant-night princess"). Thereafter, Taketori no Okina found that whenever he cut down a stalk of bamboo, inside would be a small nugget of gold. Soon he became rich. Kaguya-hime grew from a small baby...

Osaka & Kyoto: 2 Imperialistic Destinies

posted by deedragongirl

Osaka!

Hi guys, since I love Japanese culture and that I had been to Tokyo only. Here are 2 Japanese cities that I would love to go someday!

Osaka

Since I was fascinated with European history for quite sometimes, I would like to know meer about Japanese history. Since Osaka is famous for an imperial kasteel there, so I would be amaze to study meer about it since I know about the outfits themselves!

Kyoto

Another very historical city that I would love to go, this city is actually famous for a Golden temple there. As I had seen my parents' foto from a their trip in the past few years, and I have been hearing great things about the city which envies me to go.

Thanks Japan!

So, if u love Japanese history. These 2 cities are highly recommended, enjoy reading them.

Kuro no Shiro (Part 6)

posted by KuroOokami

(Is Zaru going to force me to come to the 'Mindless Side'?) Kaze though. Then a sound brought Kaze back from his dag dream. "Hmmm... It seems like HQ needs everyone to return." Zaru looks at Kaze and smerked. Kaze looked at Zaru. (This is it... this is how I'm going to die... at the hands of my mindless brother...) Kaze though. "To bad. I didn't get to kill you." Zaru walked away leaving Kaze and his dead father on the battlefield.

The night sky fills the glum of the Battlefield. A smal brand lights up a small area. "What do I do now?" Kaze pokes the brand with a stick. Kaze took out his father's...

On a battlefield, Blood everywhere, one lone teen sits on a log. The teen looks tired and beat up, with blood on his face. The teen gets up and wipes blood away from his left eye.

The teen looks at the man, he also has blood on his face. "Yeah." Kaze zei not caring what his father, Hiro, looks like. The man starts laughing. "Good thing we made it!"

Kuro no Shiro (Part 2)

posted by KuroOokami

Kaze looked at his father's missing arm. "You should know what an emotionless face is." Hiro's smile faded and he looked to the ground. "You got a point."

2 years ago, 2018, Hiro almost lost all of his emotion. His arm started turning changing int osomething not human. Hiro's brother was with him when this started and he had to cut off Hiro's arm to save him. So Hiro can have emotion again his brother told him about Japan before the never ending war. Ever since, after every battle, Hiro always tryed to smile even if he was sad on the inside.

Kaze looks at his father. His black hair and beaat...

Kuro no Shiro (Part 4)

posted by KuroOokami

[Its been a long time! Here is part 4!!]

Kaze can't believe what he sees. His though to be dead brother Zaru! Kaze didn't know what to say. Why is Zaru on the 'Mindless Side'? of maybe Zaru thinks Kaze is on the 'Mindless Side'. Kaze jumps alway from another attack. This has to be Zaru. Only he attacks like this.

Kaze's face lost its emotion and he lifted his arms from his side. Kaze made a sword out of wind. "Lets fight." Zaru looked at Kaze's face. He knows that face is not truely emotinless. Only a 'fake' face for a 'fake' person. Well he'll be 'fake' until he joins the 'Mindless Side' then...

Zaru looked up and say an old man. Not caring he killed someone, Zaru still had an emotionless facee. " What are u doing here old man?" Hiro smiled. "To kill you." Zaru made a bored face. He sank the knif in deeper and blood came out of Hiro's mouth. " Tuff shit old man!" [sorry about that, I just had to. :P] Zaru jerked out the knif and Hiro fell to the ground, finally dead. " u tryed to live up to your name until the end 'Hero' But oh well your dead now." [Lol! Zaru's like 'oh, I killed you? Cool...?']

Zaru took in everything. This is the newest kill after 3 monthes. Zaru smerked and...

{I'll try to make this one longer.XD}
Kaze and Hiro walked on the bloody battlefield, waiting for the volgende fight thats sure to come tomorrow. Siting door a fire, Hiro tells a story about the Japan before the never ending war. "Was there really things called manga and anime?!" Kaze, even when hes 16, still can't believe half the stories his father tells him. "Well thats what my brother told me." Hiro put another log on the fire. "What do u say we make something to eat and go to bed?" Kaze looked at his father. He never sounded this calm before. Is it really his father?Yes, it is. As far as Kaze...
