Japanese Titbits #1 – é»„æ˜ (tasogare)
I came across an interesting passage about the origin of the word é»„æ˜ (tasogare) today. It’s not enough for a proper lesson chapter and I have no idea what topic to dump it under, so I’ve decided to create a … Continue reading

This guy deserves respect. A++ if I were his teacher.

I was just scrolling through Moon Phase’s list of autumn anime and I came across Hanoka. The official site doesn’t have much information, but a single line in the promo video on the homepage caught my attention: 日本åˆï¼ï¼ æœ¬æ ¼ãƒ•ãƒ©ãƒƒã‚·ãƒ¥ãƒ†ãƒ¬ãƒ“ã‚¢ãƒ‹ãƒ¡ãƒ¼ã‚·ãƒ§ãƒ³ 「HANOKA〠… Continue reading
God knows…
I finally translated “God knows…“, the insert song of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. I feel that the lyrics really suit Haruhi and I am not sure if the feel is still there after my translation. Well, hope you like it. … Continue reading
