Doujinshi in Japan & Madoka Translation

by Komidol on November 30th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
Posted In: Anime, Human Rights & Politics, 日本(JP) Tools・Translations, Japanese Culture, Anime, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, 日本(JP) Tools・Translations

So I started doing some doujinshi translation to help my Japanese out a bit.  Needless to say it’s been a tiresome effort.  Though it got me thinking – the acceptance (specifically, sale and distribution) of doujinshi in today’s day and age is a mystical thing.  However, if you know anything about Japanese culture (and you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I am an American Japanese-student in Japan #3: Education

Posted In: IRL, 日本(JP) Tools・Translations, Japanese Culture

So to wrap up this little series of “I am an American Japanese-student” (A tribute to Azrael’s old Outpost Nine article series “I am an English-teacher in Japan”), I decided to share my current perspective on my experience with Japanese education.  I’ve been alluring to this in the past two articles, so here it is!

I am an American Japanese-student in Japan #2: A Time and A Place for Everything

by Komidol on November 26th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Posted In: Anime, IRL, 日本(JP) Tools・Translations, Japanese Culture

If there’s anything I’ve learned about Japanese culture, it’s that there is a time and a place for everything.  The language doesn’t just have ~9 different levels of politeness on how to ask a question, its also supports the strict social norms for not asking about people’s individual thoughts, ideas, or emotions.  The way you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I am an American Japanese-student in Japan #1: Guilt and Individual Morals versus Shame and Collective Standards

by Komidol on November 25th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
Posted In: Human Rights & Politics, IRL, 日本(JP) Tools・Translations, Japanese Culture

So after living in Japan for 4 months and I think I’ve gotten a very genuine exposure to the education system, daily life, and managing at least some interpersonal-ish relationships (it’s very hard with a language barrier to make Japanese friends, but more on that later.)  As I am always writing about how I have […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So here are the TV-size lyrics for the Nichijou （日常）OP.  If you suck at Japanese you can put them in a romanji translator or something and try to get lucky.  Maybe I’ll put up the hiragana later.  Separated them by male (blue), female (pink), and both (green) – via thisguy.  Just figured I’d let you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Sendai Earthquake (地震) and Tsunami

by Komidol on March 12th, 2011 at 3:34 am
Posted In: General / Site Related, IRL, 日本(JP) Tools・Translations, Japanese Culture

So I really wanted to lighten the mood on this event with jokes, or even highlight the recent tragedy in addition to our Madoka podcast which was to come out today (along with my Madoka 10 post), but in the end I decided on a simple, unfunny, informative post. What I really want to talk about is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
