Otaku?

"Otaku (おたく / オタク^?) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime,menga and games"

---From Wikipedia-----

However, the words "OTAKU" has another negative meaning in Hong Kong.
In nowadays, if we call a people "otaku",
it means he is lack of communication, not care his face and body....etc
It's strange to see this situration.

Personal pronoun "I"

Do you uderstand the usage of "I" in Japanese?
Refers to my Japanese textbook, they only shoe"わたし"
to explain the meaning of "I" and "me".
However, Japanese people use different personal pronouns to
present the word "I"  in the daily life.
It's because they want to present their social status and personal charactaristics.
Today, I'm going to give you some examples accordind from two interesting comics!!

★Different Personal Pronouns of "I"

Let's take a look of the picture from アニメ.マンガの日本語!!

• Boy:僕(ぼく)
• Girl:あたし
• Scrapper:おれ
• Samurai:拙者(せっしゃ)
• Old man:わし
• Butler:わたくし
• Lady:わたし/わたくし
• Osakan:わて/わし

★Example From『ONE PIECE』（ワンピース）

One Piece is a Japanese famous shōnen manga series

written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda.



Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ) and Nami(ナミ)

are two of the main charaters in the story.

☆Luffy uses "俺(おれ)"

Luffy is a very strong and  hot-blooded boy.

He loves  to make an exploration and received challenges.

So, he uses "おれ" to present himself.

☆Nami uses "わたし"
Nami is a beatiful woman in the comics.
Therefore, she uses "わたし" to present herself.

★Example From『Gintama』(銀魂）
Gintama is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Hideaki Sorachi
 ☆Gintoki Sakata (坂田銀時) uses "俺(おれ)"
In the comics, Gintoki is a Scrapper and his speaking is not vert polite. 
So, he uses "おれ"

☆Kagura (神楽) uses "私(わたし)"
Kagura is a pretty girl in the manga.
However, she uses "わたし" instead of "あたし".
It's because in the story, she always wants to become more ripe.

★Which Personal Pronoun I would Use?
I would like to use "わたし".
Since it is the most common personal pronoun in Japan^^

Hi everyone, nice to meet you again!^^
Now,I'm going to introduce my trip to Fukuoka(福岡市) in the last January,2011!
I went to Fukuoka with my family on 1/1 to6/1.
In this traveling, I experienced the classic and traditional style of Japan!

(p.s. Although 1/1 was the Nes Year Festival of Japan, many shops were closed,

I could enjoy the  special custom and activities in this period ^^)

Do you know about Fukuoka?

Fukuoka (福岡市, Fukuoka-shi) is the capital city of Fukuoka Prefecture (福岡縣)and is situated on the northern shore of the island of Kyūshū (九州)in Japan.

It is the most populous city in Kyūshū, followed by Kitakyūshū(北九州市). It is the largest city and metropolitan area west of Keihanshin(京阪神).

In the following parts, I will introduce the major places which I had visited: Mojiko(門司港)、Dazaifu(太宰府) and Kokura(小倉).

1.Mojiko Retro(門司港)

Mojiko was a international habour during the Meiji period.

In 1889 (Meiji 22), a port of Mojiko was opened its door to the foreign trade through the advanced industrial innovation of Kitakyushu area on that time period.

A lot of national and international trading companies built their office in Mojiko, and its downtown was very busy with visitors all around the world.

Most of buildings have been remains the same till today!!

★Old Moji Customs Building

★Old Moji Mitsui Club

★Inside the Museum!!



2.Dazaifu(太宰府)

Since the New Year festival,

there were many people in Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine(太宰府天滿宮), a famous Zen temple !

Dazaifu is a city thirty minutes by train to the southeast of Fukuoka City.About 1300 years ago, the area was the political center of Kyushu!

And, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is one of Fukuoka's major tourist attractions.Dazaifu is most lively around New Year and in the spring, but remains a strong attraction year-round!!

★My souvenir from Dazaifu!!

★A famous snacks of Dazaifu--- plum's cake!!

3.Kokura(小倉)

From the photoes, you can see the Kokura Castle(小倉城), in Kokura.

Fukuoka-ken is located in the north side of Kyushu, and will be the arrival point for most visitors to Kyushu whether theycross over by the Kanmon-kyo Bridge, or the tunnel at the

Kanmon strait in Kitakyushu-city, or fly into Fukuoka airport

in Fukuoka-city.

Hello everyone~
In the following pessage, I'm going to introduce the special usage of KATAGANA(かたがな)!

We have a knowledge that Katagana is use for:
1.foreign words and terms,e.g.コ一ヒ一(coffee),テレビ(TV)
2.name of foreign people,e.g.  マイケル.ジャクソン(Michael Jackson)
3.for some special and specific sounds and voise,e.g.ドキドキ(sounds of heart)ブルルルルル...(ringing of telephone)
etc.....
However, in some ways, Katagana can use for highlight the keywords or emphasize the main idea!!
Let's take a look of a song,
【アイシテル 】from 清水翔太(しみずしょうた),
a famous R&B singer in Japan!

「アイシテル」作詞：清水翔太　作曲：清水翔太　歌：清水翔太

「何してる?」電話越しで　愛しい声がひびく
ためらってる　たった一言　好きと言うことも


ねえ　Baby


目に見えない物だからこそ
失ってしまいそうで不安だよ
君の声が途切れるとき
痛む胸がずっと　さけんでる


「アイシテル」　愛している
ちっぽけな僕だけど　君を失いたくないよ
同じ空　僕らいつも　幸せの意味　さがしてる


考え事してる君　微笑んでる君
気付かずに　通り過ぎてく　かけがえのない日々

ねえ　Baby

支えあって生きてく事　君との出会いで学んだよ
流れる空を追いかけて　僕達は一緒に生きてる

愛してる　君がいれば
未来のこと　何も見えなくても怖くない
「大丈夫」寄り添ってキスをして　幸せはきっといつかくるから


何度目かの喧嘩のとき　君はないてた　でも好きと言った
いくら泣き叫んだって　大人になんてなれなくて
幸せになれるかだってわからない
強がってみるけれど　偽りは1つもないよ
Oh Baby　僕はただ　君を愛してるだけ

「アイシテル」　愛している
ちっぽけな僕だけど　君を失いたくないよ
同じ空　僕らいつも
幸せの意味　さがしてる


愛してる　愛してる　2人の言葉が重なってる
夏の空　優しく僕ら包む　幸せは今　ここにある

From the song, we can see the repeated 「アイシテル」(I love you),
this present the main concept on the song.
