Triangle

@doomboxWell I guess you can have more self control and avoid binge watching shows because of that. Kdramas and any drama in general can become toxic XD

Let our lives be blessed so that the only drama we have is K-drama XD I am kind of bad at binge watching, especially since Korea seems to favor long format shows? Even the episodes for the survival shows are an hour to 2 hours each. My attention span starts to wander. OTL

@doomboxThat should become a speech at a toast 👏😂. 

You're alright. Don't go in the binge watching hole, you don't need that mess in your life XD

Somehow with every year I gain, my attention span just gave up on me so I can literally spend 1 hour staring at something. I hope I blink though. 

@AimiGen7I stay away from that song too, for probably the same reasons XD. And because everyone I know that likes the GazettE seems to always make me listen to that song XD.

For some reason, my weird ass is ok with "Akai Koudou", which is about incest, and "Sentimental na Onigokko", which is about.. well IDK for sure but it definitely ain't rated PG. But yet hearing Ruki say "Die or suck my beast" in really bad pronunciation, along with those female backup vocals and the pop beats just make me go "Nope, ain't doin' this". It's essentially the Vkei equivalent of "Open bob and show vagene"

Oh I know those songs (my friends made me listen to those too XD). I think "Sentimental na Onigokko" could be about stalkers (somehow the lyrics make me think of those dudes who like to take photos of girls without consent or smell panties). Yeah, for some reason they don't make me uncomfortable either, I just giggle at the lyrics XD.

Oh my god   I'd tell you guise a joke about construction but I'M STILL WORKING ON IT XD.

You know why i tell people not to choose history as a career? There's no future in it.

*drops mic*

How do you make an octopus laugh?

With ten-tickles.

I'm done I promise XD.

@BrenGun The manga is pretty vanilla too. The plot is intense in the sense that it literally escalates so much! You’d think that the anime was enough but noo 😂 Those 13 episodes only showed like 5% of the actual story. 

What drama ? And yes, the dramas are sooo different than the mangas !

Ah　that　way,　yes　true...　but　that　made　the　manga　also　boring　after　a　few　volumes　too　much　escalating etc. 

This manga/drama

The manga is really amazing *_*

@BrenGun O M G I have so many feelings for this 😍! I have been wanting to read the manga for a while but never got to actually do it. I’ve watched the drama like 100x times and I can never get enough of the story 💕!

Oh I'm basically writing my paper on Japanese loanwords and I'm doing kinda this from past to present theme where I talk about the old ones that no one uses today and the new ones. So I thought it would be a nice idea to talk about how they use a lot of words from English when they mention instruments or music types or other music terms in general *w*. But to be honest I don't have this well structured idea as of now XD

That sounds cool! I think it's interesting when loanwords take on lives of their own in the second language. Like, I've never heard of "A melody" or "B melody" in English-language discussions of music composition, but "Aメロ" and "Bメロ" seem like really common terms in Japanese-language band interviews.

I'm gonna be total nerd now and say that I really love researching etymologies of words in general, especially when it comes to loanwords XD. The ones in Japanese kept me awake a lot of nights reading about them. I love it when they throw in terms like that, it makes me think for hours what are they trying to say hahaha XD. That's why I was thinking of writing about that in my next chapter of the paper XD.

They just come around the worse time, like when you have to do something or when you're bored XD

Never give up! You can overcome the fatigue

Yes! I remember when I had to study a lot for last week's exams and EVERYTHING was more interesting than studying! That was so, sooo bad!

@doomboxWell, you could do that too to be fair but, I really didn't know what that reaction meant 😂. 

Yeah, just bailing on the conversation is a little... rude? >>; But I feel like this is the typical reaction I get from people too when I bring up liking Asian music. So I don't know either lol.

I was there like excuse my charisma XD

which manga is it?

@BlackSwan_86 It's a BL one called Hyakujitsu no bara ✨. I recommend it because of the historical period it presents. Even though the world is fictional, it's kinda in everyone's face it's a relationship between a Japanese and a European (I would go as far as saying the European man is German, judging by the name) and it takes place during the World War. It's a bit violent and I got emotionally invested in it so I can't wait for the new chapters. It has an OVA adaptation but I seriously would suggest reading the manga first,because in my opinion, the anime is disappointing and it doesn't serve the manga any justice. 

Ok, cool... i didn‘t know that. Maybe i should give it a try. Thank you 😉

If only @Hakoniwa were around to see this. (literally the biggest DAI fan I know). But I used to love them as well - were one my very first favorites back when I was getting into Jpop. Will always have a soft sport for Shinjitsu no uta. Any notable favs?

@CAT5Fukai Mori will always be in my heart for me. Shinjitsu no Uta unfgghhh yess <3. Makes me wanna watch InuYasha again XD. Kimi ga Inai Mirai and Rakuen too <3.  I had to check out their names again now. Most of the oldies but goldies of mine are songs that were either openings or endings in certain anime XD.

They are still my favorite non-Vk band EVER <3

imo Curse words are some of the most useful parts of a language you can learn lol. 

How else are you gonna express your anger to rude people, or tell off a kusomen? 

@AimiGen7Exactly ! And Japanese curse words make me feel like I'm holding in a sneeze and showing my double chin every time I get angry XD. They're just not satisfying ;A;

If you can manage to make your voice gruffier and trill all of your Rs, it'll sound much more aggressive lol.

Just basically try to sound like a bosozuku

god bless people who managed to learn japanese without having any interest in the culture...

@yomii Right? I have so many questions for her. Like how did you get through without having any interest in the pop culture? I'm still shaking

i always feel like it's some other, supreme kind of people lol. still, since there is even a group of weebs at your work, you have a chance to untroduce her to something that will catch her interest!

That's because, you don't care about making a mistake while being drunk. So you think lesser 😛 

It was the same for me. I once sang (and made up) an entire song in Danish when I was really tossed one day without pausing. Sure don't remember it now lol. Wish we could permanently unlock that part of the brain sober.

girl i'm perapera af the moment gin hits the throat

finishing shift early in the day is a fucking bliss

feels so good not to be a work slave

@yomii I did it, I cracked the code haha

Lack of self-love is usually something we've learned and internalized - often from a young age, so actually learning to love yourself takes time, and it doesn't happen overnight, so be patient and compassionate with yourself! But you're right too - sacrificing in the present for your future self is absolutely an act of love too (even if it doesn't feel like it XD ) ! Keep pushing forward, sis!

Thank you, Cat ❤️ !  Honestly it's been hard, but it's getting better with time. Keep up the good work as well  !!

Yep, I've also discovered quite a few gems via some of my favorite artists. In fact, a few of the artists I enjoy recently shared their spotify playlists - and not only is it cool to see what they listen to, but it's also wonderful to be introduced to so much new music that's already in line with your own taste.

Yess ! Or when they attend each other's live gigs 😭💕 What a time to be alive 😂

It's wonderful to speak a native language, and use the translator to talk with others peoples xD

@HanielFair enough XD

I left my heart in my bed

@Takadanobabaalien Ah, I know that life too XD 

I recommend you to do the same with everything else. Your eyes will be not as tired as they use to be.

@YuriI actually am changing everything now to dark theme haha. My eyes are thanking me XD

New life goal: becoming a millionaire so bandomen can live off of me

Have more money so that I can afford to sponsor bandomen while still taking care of myself XDD

omedetou !

Well done! I'm proud of you lol

how's learning korean btw? i heard it's relatively easy after learning japanese as the grammar is similar

 @yomii Yes it is ! Honestly the fact that I had learned Japanese helped me soo much now XD.  The only downside is the pronunciation; some sounds require a bit of a practice and there are some rules on how to pronounce some sounds after or before other sounds XD (I remember going home after that lesson and just sleeping because my head hurt). They also had decided to have a lot of words with similar writing and pronunciation, but they mean different things (like the word of apple means apology depending on the context XD). Other than that, it's pretty nice to learn it and the learning materials are very accessible. 

Am I the only one who feels like Hikarito (from AIOLIN)'s normal singing voice is uncannily like Miyano's? He announced a song called Orpheus some time back and I was half expecting it to be a cover of the Mamo song...

@SakuraFox512 Dude I just had a mind blown experience listening to Aiolin’s Orpheus 😂

The first few seconds I was like naaaah but then the more he sang the more I agree that his voice is very similar to Mamoru’s 😂  Also the song is matching too. Hmm

First season ops will always be a fucking bop

”JAAAAAAGER”

I hated it first but I honestly miss it now. It was a powerful song. 

great tune
