**In my effort to learn the Japanese language (which is a passion of mine), I will occasionally attempt to write and translate things in to Japanese on my tumblr as best as I can to help me practice. I'll probably make loads of mistakes since I have a lot to learn! If you notice that I made a mistake, please let me know! I'd love to learn more :)**
日本語をがんばります!

よろしくおねがいします!

お誕生日おめでとうカズ! (。’▽’。)♡

 

ヤッター!!!

It’s Neener’s birthdayyyy! I decided to put this video on his birthday post since I love his piano solos~ 

(嵐Popcornコンサート”それはやっぱり君でした”)(Arashi Popcorn concert “Sorewa yappari kimi deshita”)

And now some Nino appreciation .gifs! どうぞ!

Look at this brat.

redesignedmind:

What could this be? Am I saving body parts of these people? Are they to store small insect specimens? Only time will tell… Muahahaha

It’s 3:30 am and this is what I see on my dashboard.

JENN WHY IS THERE A VILE WITH MY NAME ON IT CUZ I’M POSTIVE THAT I’M THE ONLY FATIMAH YOU COULD BE REFERRING TO YOU’RE FREAKING ME OUT OH MAH GOSH

ಠ_ಠ

I’m honestly afraid of what might come from this. I’m gonna die aren’t I?

Yup. I’m a goner. щ(ಥДಥщ)

SO IN THE JAPANESE BOOK I’M READING


Hahahaha XD
This is like delinquent/yankee talk loll.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to talk all rough and yankee-like in Japanese. Like how Sho would talk when he was Chu in Pikanchi! Omg that was the best :D I mean, how badass would that be? 

My Japanese teacher kinda does it occasionally when emphasizing in a rather comedic manner the difference between polite and rude Japanese. It’s really funny since she’s an older lady acting all rough and tough.

Arashi 嵐

I’ve had god awful internet these past few days, and now I’m on a blogging frenzy :D

This song is super cool. Period.

But I do hope for a more upbeat, not so dark single next. Oh! And a Sakurap please! It’s been too longgg…

And I finally got to watch the full PV for Endless Game and listened to the additional tracks since my internet isn’t butchering the video and audio anymore.

The boys need to stop getting more and more attractive every freakin’ time cuz I don’t know how much longer my heart can take it. Omg so many good shots of them in the PV~

Magic Hour is super cute~ 030

Surprisingly, I actually really like Intergalactic. I’m usually not into techno-type songs that much.

I think モノクロ is my favorite out of the additional tracks…maybe. That might sway in the future though as usual, so undeceive.

Kazoku Game | Ep06   

THIS DRAMA AND THIS SCENE LOLL

I think the bottom two .gifs are my favorite hahaha (*≧▽≦)ノシ)) He always has the best faces. Can we take a moment to appreciate how .gif-able his face expressions are? (in the words of dudeohno@tumblr) 

I’m seriously loving it soooo much! Always looking forward to the next episode~

I have to say, Sho-chan’s acting in this has really impressed me! Half the time I’m laughing, and the other half, I’m hiding behind my pillow.

He can be really, actually, seriously, scary (ノдヽ) and sexy I mean those sauna scenes with his abs, nadegata shoulders, and back ahhhh and the one where he ran around the house in a towel like seriously stahp it you i can’t

It looks like things are really heating up and I’m almost afraid to see how this ends :D

This is the dinosaur mentioned in this post- http://dinofama.tumblr.com/post/51529788544/random-snapshots-from-the-past-two-days-may-26th

There’s no sound on the video for some reason…sorry.

Random snapshots from the past two days (May 26th, 27th).

I’ve been spending a lot of time downtown Chicago lately~

On Saturday, there were fireworks at Navy Pier. We didn’t go all the way to Navy Pier since it was kinda a long walk, so we stood on an overpass/bridge over the highway and watched from there.

It was super foggy this morning, and all the buildings were only half-visible. The fog was actually kinda pretty. It’s really nice when I’m at the train platform by school and I can see the whole skyline from afar (but school’s over, sooo…) It’s often foggy every now and then.

Hands down the best part of the whole weekend was today. We were eating lunch in front of the Bean, and a dinosaur followed by a army of little kids (and soon enough adults and pretty much everyone) running after it came and starting walking around the Bean and going under it. It was a costume that a guy was wearing, but it was a really impressive costume! Its eyes blinked, the tail wagged around, its tongue moved, and it roared! Whenever the dinosaur roared, everyone screamed and ran away. It would even itch itself against the light posts and get really fascinated at its own reflection against the Bean! There were a few people that got swatted in the face by its tail loll

I was laughing so hard XD

I took a video, but my phone ate it, so I took a second not so great video here-  http://dinofama.tumblr.com/post/51530297544/this-is-the-dinosaur-mentioned-in-this

Lastly, the new art instillation opened at Millennium part recently. It was blocked off before and I had to run all the way around it which was time consuming. My dad tried to get me to stand next to them to take a picture, but the sculptures creep me out and I refused. 

They’re by a Japanese artist. I forgot his first name, but his last name was Kaneko, and he was born in Nagoya, and I think he studied in LA.

Yes, the importance of Kanji indeed.

I was trying to explain the point of Kanji to my parents the other day.

This pretty much sums it up. There are a lot of homophones in the Japanese language (words that sound the same but mean something different) and Kanji helps you tell the meaning of the word and differentiate homophones.

The right particle is important as well.

I need to study when to say which particles more…I understand the difference between が と の most of the time though.

It’s easier when you’re reading to differentiate, but picking the right one when speaking is a whole other story.

Why is it that when I finally decide to be productive, my leg decides to swell randomly?

I can barely walk and I’m just limping around. Can’t even curl my toes…

I didn’t even know it was swollen at first. It was hurting really bad, and when I told my mom, she told me to compare my feet next to each other. Sure enough, my left foot was swollen compared to my right. Everything under the knee hurts ;w; Laying down isn’t even comfortable (can’t fall asleep *grumble grumble*) I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY

We noticed at 1am though, so we’ll wait overnight to see if the swelling goes down. If not, it’s off to the doctor’s office I guess. Oh joy.

I really hate the doctor’s office.

And I don’t wanna have to take any more meds than I already am. 

Please. Just. No.

I’ve been getting back to my Kanji book now that I have the time, and I just found this Kanji kinda funny.

米- (こめ)rice 

It can also be the Kanji for America if you combine it with another Kanji like this: 

米国(べい こく)

The Kanji 国 in this case means country.

Or you could combine the Kanji for middle and this one to make Central America:

中米(ちゅう べい)

I just find it kinda ironic that there’s the stereotype (that seems to be especially well known in America) for East Asians always eating rice, and that the Kanji for rice can also be the Kanji for America.

I’ll shut up about that now…

I think I’ll slowly start to use Japanese on my tumblr along side English to help practice. We’ll see how that works out.

I look forward to our webchat study sessions Jenn (¬‿¬)

My Popcorn DVD arrived last week~(I’m late as usual) And I got the How’s It Going? DVD as well :D

Popcorn took way longer than usual to get here (darn shipping). I watched about 3/4 of the concert and then I had to stop because I wasn’t feeling too well. I just felt worn out from school I guess. I will finish watching it! And the How’s it Going? DVD as well! 

But the Popcorn concert has been super cute so far <3

I saw the short version of the Endless Game PV 

SWEET JESUS I COULDN’T STOP REPLAYING IT. 

I’ve fallen in love with these boys all over again (´ ▽`).。o♡

I think it’s an understatement when I say I’m really excited for Endless Game to show up in the mail so I can watch it in HD, because honestly, that PV simply needs to be watched in HD! The close-ups and lighting AND THEIR FACES  

♥~(‘▽^人)

bueno:

things i haven’t learned in high school

  • how to pay bills
  • how to buy a house
  • how to buy a car
  • how to apply for loans for college

but thank jesus i can graph a polynomial function

Or how to do anything that’s basically useful in life?

I’m so glad we had that chapter on imaginary numbers in highschool wtf

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

Sarcasm aside, I’m almost 19 and about to be a second year in college, and I still don’t know anything at all about paying bills, loans, financial aid, taxes…well, basically everything.

Thank god my dad is a PhD in Accounting. He can handle all my money problems, and knowing how to fill out tax forms is pretty much his job. 

Speaking of tax forms, I remember one time in highschool economics we were learning how to fill out 1040 tax forms. Useful right? Well, we only filled out like three lines, and never looked at it again -_-‘

There should be a “Life 101” class in highschool. Or something.

JAPAN I’M COMING!


This post is an Arashi tumblr favorite

LOLL
Why so pretty Sho-chan?
Jenn, I think if you ever hope to set me up with an Asian guy (which seems to have recently become your goal), you should accompany me on study abroad to your home land. 
Plus, it&#8217;ll be just plain fun. LET&#8217;S GO

And I’m freeeee~ ヽ(;▽;)ノ

Finished school today! So happy ;w;

(Even though it’s pretty cold out) Time for some summer fun! あげぽよ〜!

I wanted to write a summary of recent weeks but my brain seems to be on vacation right now…Maybe later?

Instead, here are some random pics. I had my first car crash on my way to the station the day of review -_-’ My bumper just cracked a little. Oh well~ 

And some of sarcastic and hilarious things that Jenn writes every now and then. Yes, she locked herself in her room. I couldn’t go get her since I’m not allowed in her dorm building, so I told her to call public safety. They laughed at her LOLL

And this Monday, we were cleaning up the studio for the open house, and I told Jenn I would leave to go to the station at 10:24. She was taking her stuff back to her room and exactly at 10:24 she texted me just as I was about to walk to the station and go home.

No, really. Anyone?

Knocked review out of the park, but I feel like I don’t know how to actually study. I mean, I can do things, like projects and read terminology. But sitting down and studying is rather dull and it never seems to stick with the exception of a few subjects. 

Like studying for math? HAHAHAHA. No. That’s why I’m rather terrified of my math final since I learned NOTHING.

Psychology? Ya, I can do that. It’s just reading and remembering vocabulary and what-not. 

Welp, let’s roll up the sleeves and get to it! I really need a good grade in math ;w;
