"Shio-ume (塩梅 = Salt plum)"?

Deciding, after all this time, to read more novels to strengthen my Japanese and expand my vocabulary, I scoured the books I had always wanted to read, especially my late father's bookshelves. Naturally, all I found were classic Japanese literature dating back to the pre-Showa period and even centuries earlier.

Two words that have been on my mind recently are ‘Salt plum (塩梅)’.

‘What... suddenly the salt plum...?’

A large red pickled plum with salt gushing out on the surface comes to mind for a moment. However, when reading a novel, the flow of the story is more important, so I seldom stop at a single word, whatever the language.

‘Anbai (塩梅 = just right)’? is this kind of kanji characters. ‘Eh, eh.’

The word means ‘salt and plum vinegar’, and in the days when there was no vinegar, the ume vinegar produced when pickled plums were used to season food. The word was derived from the fact that the taste was ‘It's just right’. 

However, this has been a challenge. The Japanese language is deep. Language is a useful tool for learning about a country's history and culture.

Anyway, I made and ate rice balls with salt plums with the seasonal new rice. Yum, Yum!

[Note: Umeboshi (salted ume-plums) are extremely sour and salty that will make saliva spread through your mouth with a sizzle if you are Japanese, just by reading the words or looking at the image.]

「しおうめ」？

今更ながら、日本語を強化し語彙を増やすためにもっと小説を読もうと思い、私はずっと読みたかった本、特に亡き父の本棚を漁った。当然のことながら、私が見つけたのは昭和以前、さらには数世紀前までさかのぼる古典的な日本文学ばかりだ。

近ごろ気になっていた単語が「塩梅」という２文字。

「えっ、いきなり塩梅って…なんだ…？」

塩が表面に噴き出した大粒の赤い梅ぼしが１ケ、一瞬脳裏に浮かぶ。しかし、小説を読むときは、ストーリーの流れの方が重要なので、どんな言語であろうと、一語で立ち止まることはめったにない。

しかし、度々目にすると、流石に気になって調べた。

「あんばい」？ってこういう漢字なんだ。「え、えーっ」！

「塩と梅酢」という意味で、食酢がなかった時代に梅を漬けたときにできる梅酢を使って料理の味付けをしていたそうだ。その味が「良いあんばい」だったことが語源とのこと。良い考えだ！これからは余った梅酢は料理に使おう、と思った。体にも良さそうだ。

しかし、これには参った。日本語は奥が深い。言語とは、その国の歴史や文化を知る上で有効なツールだ。

ともあれ、旬の新米で梅干しおにぎりを作って食べた。うまいうまい！

9月25日発売の新譜「叙情 - Lyric Suite」ですが、オンライン各社、それぞれの理由で、流通が滞っているようです。 楽天ブックスは予約分の配送は完了したのですが、商品が捌けてしまったのか、注文が一時的にストップしているようです。 Amazonは、在庫もあり、２～3日で発送される見通し。 タワレコとHMVは、「入荷待ち」となっており、こちらは、初回出荷分がまだ届いていないということなのか？流通センターには、9月9日に納品されているので、何をやっているのかが分かりません。（注文いただいた方々、ご迷惑をお掛けいたしますが、今しばらくお待ち下さいませ） ですので、これからご注文いただけるのならamazonが、早いかと思われます。 いずれにせよ、１週間～10日のうちに流通回復すると思いますので、気長にお待ちいただければ幸いです。

The new album "Lyric Suite" will be released on September 25th, but it seems that distribution is stalled for each online company for various reasons. Rakuten Books has completed the delivery of pre-orders, but it seems that orders have been temporarily stopped, perhaps because the product has been sold out. Amazon has stock and is expected to ship in 2-3 days. Tower Records and HMV are "on backorder," so does this mean that the first shipment has not arrived yet? The distribution center received the album on September 9th, so I don't know what they are doing. (We apologize for the inconvenience to those who have ordered, but please wait a little longer.) So, if you are planning to order from now on, Amazon is probably the fastest. In any case, I think distribution will resume within a week to 10 days, so I would appreciate it if you could wait patiently.

A Day in the Life of Killua

I wanted to share a translation of an excerpt from this Hunter x Hunter Characters Book, published in 2001.

Translation:

A Day in the Life of Killua

My own big prediction!

Although he has lived a life soaked in blood, Killua is probably no different from a normal 12-year-old. Let’s take a closer look at the life of Killua, who says he loves sweets!

10:00 Wake up

11:00 Gon arrives.

While I was dozing off in the morning, I hear Gon's voice inviting me to play with him. I’m embarrassed for some reason, so I hit him without thinking.

12:00 Play with Gon

14:00 Lunch

We have lunch while wandering around town. I feel it’s more fun to eat outside than in a restaurant.

15:00 Snack

16:00 Play some more

17:00 Discover Illumi.

While I was making a pit trap to trick Gon, somehow I found Illumi. I dash away like I'm about to die, and calm myself down.

17:05 Buy Chocobo

19:00 Dinner

20:00 Go to Gon's room

22:00 Go to bed in Gon's room

While talking with Gon about what we did in town, it gets to be late at night. It’s too much trouble to go back to my room, so I go to bed next to Gon.

A word from Killua

You're totally wrong! Why do I keep eating sweets all the time? And why is my brother Illumi buried in the garden? You're making fun of me!?

Japanese Transcript:

(Just because I went through the trouble to transcribe it, and in case anyone wants to do their own translations!)

とある１日のキルア

勝手に大予想

血に染まった人生を歩んできつつも、たぶんは普通の12歳となんら変わりのないキルア。そんな、おかしが大好きだというキルアの生活に迫る！

１０：００　起床

１１：００　ゴンがやってくる

朝、ぼーっとしていると、ゴンの遊びを誘う声。なぜか照れているので、おもわず殴る。

１２：００　ゴンと遊ぶ

１４：００　昼ご飯

街をブラブラしながらの昼食。お店で食べるよりも、外で食べたほうが楽しいと感じる。

１５：００　おやつ

１６：００　さらに遊ぶ

１７：００　イルミを発見

ゴンをだまそうと落とし穴を作っていたら、なぜかイルミがいた。死にそうなくらいダッシュでにげて、心を落ち着かせる。。。

１７：０５　チョコロボくんを買う

１９：００　夕飯

２０：００　ゴンの部屋に行く

２２：００　ゴンの部屋に就寝

ゴンと街で遊んだことを話合っているうちに、深夜に突入。自分の部屋に戻るが面倒なので、そのままゴンの隣で就寝。

キルアより一言

ぜんっぜん，ちげぇーよ！なんでずっとおかしばっかり食べてんだよ。それにどんな意味があって、庭にイルミ兄が埋まってるんだ？バカにしてるだろ！？

Another thing I want to note about this book is that it has a full story in it, which you can find translated here! It's an interesting read in general--it's based off episode 46 of the 1999 anime, which deviates from the manga and has its own original story, and this story then expands upon that original story. One thing I think is especially interesting is the story starts off with Gon and Killua sleeping in the same bed, so this book makes two separate mentions of that being something they do, which is cute. ❤️

While Togashi didn't write the story himself or likely the contents of this book, he did write an afterword to it, so I'm guessing he must have at the very least read it over and approved of the contents before it was published, and it's certainly possible he had more involvement than that as well. Take the canon status of it all with a grain of salt, I'd say it's more semi-canon/a different version of canon than 100% canon to the manga (similar to how I consider the 1999 anime additions/changes as well), but it's interesting nonetheless and fun as far as shipping fuel goes!

Thoughts of what once was Ryoji Mochizuki

...Just as I thought, you couldn't lay a finger on me. Maybe you began to love me because we met as friends. But as I've warned multiple times, what I as the 'Appriser' will give you is absolute death. It's not something that can be overcome through willpower or effort. The 'end' as the contrapostion to 'life', which every living thing has without exception, comes upon all human beings as an unavoidable decision. The 'death' that everyone should know but don't recognise as their own... when you all face it, you can't help but dread and depair over that overwhelming truth. So I at least wanted to let you forget about it all and have it come to an end. Only you, who raised me, had the power to make it happen. ...Even though it turned out like this, I'm glad to have met you. Until we meet again, take care. ...Best wishes in the coming year.

The desire of two boys who seek their former halves

Tonight, when the moon ascends in the sky, I will reunite with part of my former self on the tower's peak. Just as time flows and the seasons change, it's obvious that all living things are preparing to end, and that it is unavoidable. Though I know that, I still try to cling to a miracle that might happen. Until I witness true despair, I'm holding on to a sliver of hope... Shadows are born from people's hearts. And Personas are too; they are of the same essence. The only difference is if one has an intent. No matter how much of that power one might wield, what would be the reason to threaten that which is the root of existence, the Great Mother? How much can a tiny, foolish child who bares their fangs at the Fall, the name of the Great Mother, Nyx, do? ...If the future is to change, it's the power of will that's the source of Personas, the heart's bonds, that will push you forward. Now, let's head to that place to fullfill our duty. I, we, have shed tears about the premonition that this day will come ever since we were one.

⋯⋯やっぱり君は、僕に手を下せなかったね。僕たちが友だちとして出会ってしまったから、情が移っちゃったのかもしれないね。でも僕は何度も忠告した、「宣告者」である僕が連れてくる のは絶対の死だ。努力とか意志の力でなんとかできるようなもの じゃない。生きとし生けるものが例外なく持った、「生きる」対偶としての「終わり」が、避け��うのない決定事項として、すべての人間の上に訪れるものだ。みんな知ってるはずなのに、自分のこととして認識しなかった「死」⋯⋯それを迎えたときに君たちは、その圧倒的な事実の前に恐怖し、絶望せずにはいられない。だから僕はせめて、すべてを忘れて終わりを迎えてもらおうと思った。僕を育ててくれた君にだけは、それを叶える力があったのだからね。⋯⋯こんな形になってしまったけど、君に出会えたこと、嬉しかった。つぎに逢うときまで元気で。⋯⋯よいお年を。

かつて望月綾時だったものの思い

かつての半身を求めるふたりの少年の想い

今夜、月が天に昇るとき、かつて自分の一部であったものと、あの塔の頂で再会する。時が流れるように、季節が巡るように、生きるものがその終わりに死を控えていることは自明のことで、それを避けることなんてできなしない。それをわかってはいても、それでもなお、起こるかもしれない奇跡にすがろうとする。本当の絶望を目にするまで、一縷の望みをついでいる⋯⋯。シャドウは人の心から生まれ出たものだ。そしてぺルソナもまた、それらと本質を一にするものだ。ちがうのはそこに本人の意思があるかどうかと��うだけ。その力をいくら振るおうとも、存在の根源、太母であるものの足元をおびやかせる道理などあるだろうか。滅びという名の大いなる母ニュクスに牙を剥くちっぽけで愚かな子供に、一体どれほどのことをできるというのか。⋯⋯未来が変わるというなら、その背中を押すのはペルソナの源となる意志の力、心の絆だ。さあ、与えられた役目を果たすために、その場所を目指そう。僕は、僕たちは、ひとつだったときから、この日が来る予感に涙を流していたんだから。

Son el Kojiki(713d.c) y el Nihonshoki(720d.c). - Espero que os guste y nos vemos en una próxima públicacion un cordial saludo. 🇯🇵 私の愛する考古学ファンを日本の先史時代の新作に歓迎します。今回は、神道がいつ始まったのかという質問に移ります。 - 奇妙に思えるかもしれませんが、縄文時代（17500-300）に形成された宗教であり、正確にはその時代の終わりに、今日まで神道の神であり、カミス（神）と呼ばれています。 日本人にとって、山や川にはすべて神がいました。 - 神道は中国、韓国の影響を受けており、道教との類似点があります。 カミスのカテゴリーに分類される2冊の本は何ですか？ こうじき（713d.c）と日本書紀（720d.c）です。 - よろしくお願いします。次の出版物で心からのご挨拶を申し上げます。 🇬🇧 Welcome my dear archaeological fans to a new installment of Japanese prehistory, this time we move to the question, when did Shintoism originate? - Although it may seem strange, it is a religion that was formed during the Jōmon period (17500-300), to be exact at the end of that period and continues to this day the gods of Shintoism, they are called Kamis (god) since for the Japanese everything the mountains and rivers had a god. - Shintoism has Chinese, Korean influences, and there are similarities with Taoism.

I actually love the idea of Haru being a kuudere yandere, can we get a shot about that?

Raeder tries to get along with him by talking to him and seeing as how he doesn't seem to mind her she went as far as venting to him. But when she started venting about specific people those people started vanishing. And when she talked to Haru about this, she got disturbed by how he somehow got colder and started talking like 'why do you care about them? didn't you say they bother you?' 'why are you so invested in that guy's disappearance? don't tell me you liked him back or something'

Giving her the sinking feeling, that there's seriously something wrong here and eventually stopped talking to him all together. But he wouldn't let her cut ties with him.

This plot is *chef’s kiss* mwah! I knew the perfect song for this too lol

Title: Jishu

Pairings: Nanase Haruka x Reader

WARNINGS: yandere themes, implied murder, swearing

Summary: You’re pretty sure there’s something dark inside your kuudere friend.

“Yes! I did it!

I dropped that girl into hell.

So? Is there a problem?

Everyone hated her, right?

はい！私がやりました！

あの子を奈落へ落としました

で？だから何か問題が？

だって皆あの子嫌いでしょ？”

- from “Jishu” by Roce

You felt like you could tell Haru anything.

Talking with Haru came easily, the words flowing from your mouth like the waterfalls he loves. You could talk about anything you wanted, and he’d sit there and listen attentively. You could talk about your day, talk on and on about your new favorite book series, or rant about things that went wrong or people that annoyed you.

If you were to be honest, you did a lot more ranting than anything else.

“...and she’s just so full of herself!” you finished, flinging your arms out in frustration. Haru barely blinked, watching you with those ocean-blue eyes.

“Does she bother you anymore?” Haru asked simply.

You took a moment to think about it. “Well, I think she’s home sick, so she hasn’t bothered me the past few days.”

Haru nodded seriously and said, “Good.”

You really should have put two and two together.

—------------------------------------------------------

“This guy just won’t stop flirting with me,” you said in disgust, stabbing your meal with your fork. 

Your bad-tempered attention on your food meant you missed the way Haru’s eyes darkened with anger. He laid down his chopsticks and looked down at his own meal, appetite gone.

“What’s his name?”

“Of course his name is Chad. Why wouldn’t it be?” you rolled your eyes, “He doesn’t have a big chin like the memes, but damn is his ego big.”

“Which class?” Haru asked, his voice suddenly sharper than before.

“We share History,” you snorted, “But you’d think it was sex-ed with the way he talks.”

Haru’s hand curled into a fist but he said nothing.

You continued to vent, completely unaware of Haru’s reaction. “I just wish he’d leave me alone,” you finished, “He can’t take a hint at all.”

Haru’s eyes met your own. The quiet boy took a moment to think before saying, “He’ll change his mind.”

You laughed, “If only it were that easy.”

Haru nodded and picked up his chopsticks again, eating in silence.

After that day, Chad vanished from your life. He no longer sat next to you in history, putting his lanky arm around your shoulder while you squirmed in disgust. He no longer lingered in the hallways, following you to your locker while boasting loudly. He no longer seemed to exist at all.

At first you were relieved, but worry started to sink in. It had been weeks since anyone had seen him and students were beginning to gossip about what had happened to the creep.

You found Haru swimming in the university pool and approached him, “Hey, Haru- have you heard anything about Chad? He went missing almost a month ago.”

Haru stared at you, his expression unreadable, “Why are you asking about him?” his voice was cold- harsher than usual, “I thought you didn’t like him.”

A chill shot down your spine, “I don’t… but it’s just weird that he’s gone. People are worrying, y’know?”

Haru climbed out of the pool, not breaking eye contact. His eyes narrowed, “Why do you care so much? He was bothering you, right?”

You swallowed dryly, “Well, yeah, but that doesn’t mean I want anything bad to happen to him. He’s still a human.”

“Is that all it is?” Haru’s voice was even colder and harsher now, spitting out each word as though they were venom, “You have feelings for him, don’t you?”

“Of course not!” you protested, “But-”

You fell silent when a chilling smile graced Haru’s face, “Then don’t worry. He won’t harm you again. No one will ever hurt you again.”

Your heart stopped, “Haru… did you do something to Chad?”

The look in his eyes told you everything you needed to know, the near-demonic smile only adding fuel to your terror. “I need to go.”

Haru reached out, his hand brushing against your arm gently, “You don’t have to worry about him anymore. You don’t have to worry about anything. I’ll take care of you.”

“What did you do?” you demanded.

Haru shook his head, “I wouldn’t want to worry you.”

You stepped away from him, heart pounding in your chest. This wasn’t the Haru you once knew. This was someone dangerous.

You did the only thing you could think of- you fled. You ran like a bat out of hell, all the way back to your dorm. Tears streaked down your face by the time you reached safety. 

Haru… your closest confidant… what had he done to those people?

You had doomed them by talking about them to him.

You couldn’t decide… did you really want to know what he did…?

Or did you want to live blissfully unaware?

MHA Chapter 393 spoilers translations (no images)

Apparently Horikoshi got a little too horny this week and his art tripped the boob-alert censors, so here’s an image-free transcript of the chapter 393 rough translations.

To view the image version that has been marked by the mature filter, click here.

PAGE 1

1 そういやトガちゃんって souiya Toga-chan tte Come to think of it, Toga-chan,

3 確かに たしかに tashika ni “It’s certainly true.”

4 そーいやおまえとウチのボスくらいだな sooiya omae to UCHI no BOSU kurai da na “That’s right, you and our boss”

5 敵名が無いの ヴィランめいがないの VIRAN-mei ga nai no “have no villain names.”

11 「血う血う」 「ちうちう」 「chiu chiu」 “Bloody kiss.” (Note: This is actually a pun on the word “chiu” which is what Toga says as an onomatopoeia for sucking blood. It sounds like “suck” and “smooch.” Twice has squeezed in the kanji for “blood” for the pun.)

12 「ピカちう」 「PIKAchiu」 “Pikasmooch!” (Note: Same pun as the previous line.)

Hiiiiii, This is my brand new blog! I wanted to have a main blog so I can follow my AgeRe and AgeDre peeps without using my (former) main blog... which might trigger some people.

About Me:

My name is Alex Indigo. My names in smol space are: Indy, Little One and Baby Bat. But I prefer Indy.

I live in New York City, but am originally from Tennessee. (That's why I put a lot of y'all's in my speech.... plus y'all is a gender neutral term. :3)

My big age is 30 but when I am smol...I can be anywhere between 0 and 14. However I am also a permaregressor and usually between 8 and 14 most days.

I like: kids media (games/TV/movies/music/books), kids toys and stuffies, goth/alternative music (like gothic rock, darkwave, shoegaze, synth pop, and alternative pop.), singing, creepy cute stuff, Halloween 🎃, Froggies, Kitties, Bats and unicorns.

My aesthetic is a mix between kawaii and gothic.

I'm bigender and abroromantic asexual. (I simply just say that I am nonbinary and queer to cishetallo people)

I am neurodivergent (Autistic with BPD and PTSD) and am in recovery. I find that age dreaming and age regression is a (healthy) way to cope with my trauma and mental illness.

I baby talk a lot, so I will translate my baby talk to normal speech for those who use speech readers or just plain don't understand a word I am saying.

Please don't interact with me if you are kink/NSFW/or just plain mean. (That includes: kink/NSFW/BDSM/DDLG + variants/CGL/ ABDL+variants/ageplay(or petplay)/ableism/queerphobia & exclusionists/xenophobia/sexism/racism/MAPS,PEARS,AAM/TERFS,Radfems/blank blogs) Also if you are against age/pet regression or dreaming or try to sexualize it then you are going to be blocked.

My blog is a safe place for me to be smols and other people who want to be smols too.

Thanks for reading this! Here's a stuffie 🧸

2024年8月31日

To be honest, August was really just an exercise in staying afloat. I was able to continue my little habits since I've been doing them so long that they are just something I do in my spare time. But anything else was really hit or miss! I also realized I had forgotten to set goals for August so I guess it worked out since I didn't miss any goals! Sometimes life just happens, so I try not to worry too much about it. Now with September and a new Japanese preschool year beginning (yes they follow the American system at this school), I want to try to focus on making significant improvement again.

実は8月が忙し過ぎて勉強じゃなくて他のところに集中しました。毎日の小さな勉強習慣をいつも通り続きましたが、他の目的は少し雑でした。後、7月に8月の目標を書いてなくて、実は目標を達成しなくても大丈夫でしたね。たまにそういうこともあるから、何とかなるのであんまり気にしないように頑張ります。そして9月になって、息子の幼稚園の新しい学年（そうです、日本風の幼稚園だけどアメリカの学年なんだ）が始まったので、これからまた上達するためにまた動力しようと思います。

August Progress

I spent most of my time in August on Listening and Speaking, and the least time on Vocabulary and Kanji. Listening was primarily listening to (children's) TV shows, podcasts, and conversations, and the Speaking study time I recorded was primarily conversations (with ママ友s and this time I recorded in-depth conversations with my son and husband because my son can participate in actual conversations when did that happen).

I feel like I did a lot of Reading in August but less Grammar and Writing, because I had so much going on and I was just trying to keep on top of all my responsibilities and also trying to get enough sleep.

In July I didn't do a study habit check-in, but let's see how I did in August:

Study Habit Check-In:

〇 = Great, △ = Decent, ✖ = Not Great

Read daily - read something almost every day 〇

Write sentences 4 times a week - definitely not, but that's ok, I was busy! ✖

Review kanji and vocabulary flash cards daily - nope, no, not at all ^^; ✖

Review 1-2 N3 grammar points weekly - I did review grammar points but it wasn't as often as once a week △

Learn 1-2 N2 grammar points weekly - I reviewed a couple of N2 grammar points but did not learn any new ones △

Listen to 1 podcast a week - yes! 〇

Continue to work on hiragana with my son - not sure where we are at this point, we are reading books and I am trying to pinpoint which characters he knows and which ones he doesn't know; characters like ちゃ and じ (I learned today these are called 拗音・ようおん) are understandably difficult for him; since we practice every day I call this a win 〇

September Goals

I'm super motivated for September, let's gooo!

I want to get back into my study materials such as:

新にほんご500問 (Kanji, Vocabulary, Grammar drills)

日本語総まとめN2 (Kanji, Vocabulary, Grammar, Listening, Reading workbook)

外国人のための日本語敬語の使い方 (85 Basic Expressions of Japanese honorifics for Quick and Easy use, aka Keigo)

日本の歴史366 (daily history lesson)

I also got really excited and checked out way too many textbooks on the Japan Foundation (Libby) so I'd like to go through those as well.

And finally, I'd like to take a tip from some of the ママ友s (those are mom friends) and start taking time on weekends to work on hiragana recognition with my son (very mindful). Making it fun helps keep his interest, and we are fortunate to have collected a lot of Japanese children's books in a range of levels to practice with.

How is your studying going? Any new study tips or new classes? Feel free to comment or DM me! Happy studying!
