I haven’t been blogging much recently. Partly it’s because the new school term has just started, but mostly it’s because I’ve been too busy playing games and getting distracted by various new and shiny objects. This picture of Yuki has nothing to do with what I am going to blog about today. Here’s a little [...]
Instead of preparing for the finals of the speech contest tomorrow, I have decided to start a series of lessons to introduce some aspects of Japanese grammar to the those who are interested in learning about this curious language we all know as “moonspeak”. This is not intended as a lesson to teach Japanese to [...]
So we finally reach the start of lesson one. Defining the terms took longer than I expected… Please make sure that you have read through the basic term definitions in Chapter 0 before continuing. I assume that people who read this blog are, more often than not, fansub watchers. So for the first lesson today, [...]
Went to Singapore Cosfest 2006 at Downtown East today. It’s a really small event, but it’s pretty much the best we get. I went there with some school mates and ended up bumping into Shia and Kwok. Also met an acquaintance from years ago. Singapore is really small. My camera’s batteries went flat soon after [...]
NHK is about a guy who is a NEET (Not in Employment, Education, Training) and a hikikomori (someone who doesn’t go out of his house), who is subsequently turned into an otaku and a lolicon by his ex-schoolmate. You can’t go any lower than that. He believes that NHK (nihon hikikomori kyoukai) is a secret [...]
I think I’ll be placing an order for this from my usual source soon… Sigh, I hope I don’t overspend this month. I just passed ￥8,000 to Kwok last night so that he can pick some stuff up for me in Japan. He’s probably preparing to leave for the airport by now… Zero no Tsukaima [...]
Remember that flash movie I posted here some time ago? Well apparently, the song was a 1995 remake of an old Finnish song by a band that had long gone inactive. However, due to 4chan and its crazy shenanigans, the song has been made famous overnight through the internet and the band is in back [...]
Now that we have studied how verbs are grouped in Japanese and the various tenses of the polite (丁寧 teinei) form, it’s time to put some of them to use. I’m going to assume that you have read the first lesson and understood everything in it. And yes, this week’s theme is Tamaki Kousaka from [...]
Honey & Clover Vol. 8 rocked!!! (Okay, so I’m almost a year late…) For no particular reason, I shall talk about Kinokuniya in Singapore today. Bear with me here… Note: This image has nothing to do with Kinokuniya As you probably know, Kinokuniya is a Japanese bookstore chain. The main branch is in Shinjuku in [...]
Wait a minute… didn’t I mention in the previous chapter that this time I would be highlighting some interesting quirks about the Japanese language instead of a formal chapter? So why is today’s chapter on kanji? Well, let me just assure you that kanji is one of the craziest things about Japanese. Wars have been [...]

This is the DVD rip of the School Days SECRET LIVE concert that was held last year to commemorate the release of School Days It [...]
