JAPANESE DIARIES
7月16日
今日は浅草の店でお土産を買いに行った。
あとで、東京スカイツリーへ行った。「おもり」のコーヒーショップがあったから、ココアを買って、ケルというキャラのイラストにありついた。「おもり」はビデオゲームです。怖いとおもうが、いいゲームだ。
東京スカイツリーでたくさんお店があって、ごごに買い物をして、クレープとアイスクリームをたべた。スヌーピーのものを買った。
今夜、喫茶店で晩ご飯を食べた。そして、ホテルで梅酒を飲んだ。とてもおいしかった。

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits
#exilley's diary#this is about utena btw like. yeah its feminist and a coming of age horror story but also#it was in part ikuhara’s response to the changes he observed in the corporate anime industry and an attempt to subvert those trends#it doesnt really help that i feel certain aspects of the show are filtered through translation and certain cultural emphasises are lost#like for instance. the blood type symbolism. or wakaba’s gestures with making packed lunches#theyre incredibly japanese expressions of conventional gender roles that non-japanese audiences might not fully resonate with

JAPANESE DIARIES
7月15日
今日はホテルを残って、浅草で散歩した。浅草の浅草寺は私のいちばんの好きなところだ。はじめて日本へ行ったのはその地区に泊まった。いい思い出があるから、日本へ行くたびに、いつも浅草寺へ行く。
今夜、韓国料理のレストランに食べた。とてもおいしかったから、木曜日の予約をした。ストレスでしたが、予約するのができた。

Japanese "Onomatopoeia" 『オノマトペ/Onomatope)』
There are two types in Japanese Onomatopoeia. One is 「擬音語(ぎおんご/Gi-on-go)」 which is “written sound” as we hear, and the other is 「擬態語(ぎたいご/Gi-tai-go)」 which is “written sound of status” as we look or feel.
1) 「擬音語(ぎおんご/Gi-on-go)」: “sound” onomatopoeias
As examples, let’s compare onomatopoeias for some animal sounds in Japanese and English.
犬(いぬ/Inu)「ワンワン(Wan-wan)」 Dog: “Woof woof” “Bow-wow”
猫(ねこ/Neko)「ニャー(Nyaa)」 Cat: “Meow”
牛(うし/Ushi)「モー(Moo)」 Cow: “Moo”
豚(ぶた/Buta)「ブーブー(Buu-buu)」 Pig: “Oink oink”
にわとり(Niwatori)「コケコッコー(Kokekokkoo)」Rooster: “Cock-a-doodle-doo”
2) 「擬態語(ぎたいご/Gi-tai-go)」 “status” onomatopoeias
This type is onomatopoeias of “status”. An easy-to-understand example is “わくわく(Waku-waku)” which became famous through “SPY x FAMILY.” “Waku-waku” means being excited or thrilled about something you look forward to. Although the status does not have that sound, we can imagine Anya’s facial expression and emotions just by seeing the word.
By using onomatopoeias, we can describe the situation or the person’s feelings in detail with simple and short words. For example, if you want to say “It’s raining,” here are some onomatopoeias, from the lightest to the heaviest;
①「雨(あめ/Ame)がポツリポツリ(Potsuri-potsuri)と降(ふ/Fu)っている」…Raindrops are falling at intervals.
②「雨がポツポツ(Potsu-potsu)降っている」…Just a few raindrops are falling.
③「雨がパラパラ(Para-para)降っている」…Raindrops are falling continuously
④「雨がしとしと(Shito-shito)降っている」…It’s quiet, but certainly raining continuously.
⑤「雨がザーザー(Zaa-zaa)降っている」…It’s raining hard and making a fair amount of noise.
⑥「雨がドシャドシャ(Dosha-dosha)降っている」…It’s raining dangerously hard.
Onomatopoeias have existed since before manga and anime existed, but manga has made us more familiar with them, and they have enabled us to share delicate expressions with visual images using just a few words. So I think you’ll be familiar with them naturally while watching anime or manga, without extra effort to memorize them.
Hereunder I’ll pick up some lines with onomatopoeias from Season 1 episodes;
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 1 : Maomao
猫猫「たかがウワサ話に何を真剣になってるんだ。こんなのは、ただの憶測にすぎない。すぎないが…ちいとばかし、行ってみるか。そそそそそ…」
Maomao “Takaga uwasa-banashini nanio shinkenni natterunda. Konnanowa tadano okusokuni suginai. Suginaiga…chiito-bakashi itte-miruka. Sososososo…”
Maomao “Why am I taking a rumor so seriously? It’s all just conjecture. But still… I guess I can take a quick peek.”
Episode 13 : Serving in the Outer Court
壬氏「勉強の方はやっているのか?」
Jinshi “Benkyono-howa yatte iru-noka?”
Jinshi “Are you studying?”
猫猫「そそそそそ…」
Maomao “Sososososo…”
Maomao “Sneak, sneak.”
壬氏「おい!」
Jinshi “Oi!”
Jinshi “Hey!”
猫猫「そそそそそ…」
Maomao “Sososososo…”
Maomao “Sneak, sneak!”
「そそそそそ…」: sneak, sneak. (This onomatopoeia might be newly created in this anime.)
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 4 : The Threat
猫猫「ぴょーん、ぴょん。仕方ない。もう一度、作り直すか」
Maomao “Pyōn, pyon. Shikata nai. Mo ichido, tsukuri-naosuka.”
Maomao “Boing boing. Oh, well. Guess I have to cook it again.”
「ぴょん(Pyon)」: Jumping, 「ぴょーん(Pyoon)」: Jumping (higher or longer)
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 5 : Covert Operations
やぶ医者「お待たせしました、壬氏さ…しゅん」
Yabu Isha “Omatase shimashita, Jinshi-sa……Shun.”
Quack Doctor “Thank you for waiting, Master Jinshi- Oh.”
「しゅん(Shun)」: Get disappointed and depressed a little
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Episode 6 : The Garden Party
貴園「実際、若いの。だって、主上様を産んだのが…こしょこしょこしょ」
Guien “Jissai, wakaino. Datte, shujo-samao unda-noga… Kosho-kosho-kosho.”
Guiyuan “She is young. She gave birth to the emperor when she was…”!”
「こしょこしょ(Kosho-kosho)(with more comical nuance)」「こそこそ(Koso-koso)」: Talking in secret
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 6 : The Garden Party
桜花「ムカ~ッ!」
Infa “Mukaaa!”
Yinghua “Grr!”
桜花「キ~ッ!猫猫に謝りなさいよ!!」
Infa “Kiii! Maomaoni ayamari-nasaiyo!!”
Yinghua “Apologize to Maomao!”
「ムカッ(Muka)」 「ムカーッ(Mukaa)」「キーッ(Kiii)」: Getting angry
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 6 : The Garden Party
猫猫(へえ…こうして見ると、なかなか…。思ったより、お偉いさんなのか。やはり、武官に交ざっても違和感がない。
へえ、さっきの武官も、末席だが、年齢を考えると出世頭か?あのキラキラした宦官はいないけど、まあ、どうでもいい。おっ、それより毒見だ)
Maomao (Hee… Koshite miruto, naka-naka… Omotta-yori, oerai-san nanoka. Yahari, bukanni mazattemo iwakanga nai. Hee, sakkino bukanmo, masseki-daga, nenreio kangaeruto shusse-gashiraka? Ano kira-kira shita kanganwa inai-kedo, maa do demo ii. O, soreyori, dokumi-da.)
Maomao (He looks pretty good there. I guess he’s higher up than I thought. He doesn’t seem out of place among the military officers. Oh look, that officer from earlier. He’s at the very edge, but given his age, I guess that’s still impressive? Our glittering eunuch isn’t there, but who cares? More importantly, food tasting.)
猫猫(…新しいかんざし。宦官もかんざしをもらうのか。そういえば、襟も少し乱れてる。いつものキラキラさもない。うっ、宴席で姿を見ないと思ったら、そういうことか。でも、今なら年相応の青年に…というか、だいぶ幼く見える。こちらのほうが、まだいいな)
Maomao (…Atarashii kanzashi. Kanganmo kanzashio morau-noka. So-ieba, erimo sukoshi midareteru. Itsumono kira-kirasamo nai. U, ensekide sugatao minaito omottara, so-iu Kotoka. Demo, imanara toshi-so’o-no seinenni… to iuka daibu osanaku mieru. Kochirano-hoga mada iina.)
Maomao (A new hairpin? So the eunuchs gets hairpins, too? His collar is a little disheveled, too. Plus his normal glitter is gone. Is that why he wasn’t at the party? But right now, he’s acting his age more than usual… Or rather, he looks quite a bit younger. I prefer him like this, somewhat.”
猫猫(しおらしい。無茶なことを言っているのは承知の上か。いつも通り、無駄にキラキラしてればいいのに。ここ最近の壬氏様は、以前よりもずっと子供のように見えて仕方ない)
Maomao (Shiorashii. Muchana koto’o itte-irunowa shochino ueka. Itsumo-doori, mudani kira-kira shitereba iinoni. Koko saikinno Jinshi-samawa, izen-yorimo zutto kodomono-yoni miete shikata-nai.)
Maomao (How modest. He realizes he’s asking for the impossible. He should just be excessively shiny like his usual self. For a while now, Master Jinshi has seemed much more childish than before.)
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 7 : Homecoming
猫猫「チョキチョキチョキ…カチャカチャカチャ」
Maomao “Choki choki choki… Kacha kacha kacha.”
Maomao “Clip clip clip. Clunk clunk clunk.”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 7 : Homecoming
猫猫「シャーッ!」
Maomao “Shaaaaa!”
Episode 14 : The New Pure Consort
猫猫(ハッ!大事な教材を見せるわけにはいかない!)「シャーッ!」
Maomao (Ha! Daijina kyozai’o miseru-wake-niwa ikanai!) “Shaaaaa!”
Maomao (I can’t let him see my precious teaching material.)
シャー!(Shaaa!) : Hissing sound of cats or snakes. It can also show water flowing or something else, depending on the situation.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Episode 12 : The Eunuch and the Courtesan
壬氏「どよどよ…いじいじ…じめじめ…」
Jinshi “Doyo-doyo… Iji-iji… Jime-jime…”
Jinshi “Wah, wah, boo-hoo, sob, sob…”
「どよどよ…」: Negative aura stagnates around there.
「いじいじ…」: sulking
「じめじめ…」: humid, muggy, gloomy mood
These words express how depressed Jinshi is, and he isn’t actually crying. I guess they’re translated into “Wah, wah, boo-hoo, sob, sob…” since there was no suitable short word.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 13 : Serving in the Outer Court
白鈴「フフッ、つやつやのぷるぷるに仕上げておいたから」
Pairin “Fufu. Tsuya-tsuyano puru-puruni shiagete oita-kara.”
Pairin “We got her all dolled up for you.”
「つやつや」: glossy, shiny, dewy
「ぷるぷる」: jiggly, texture like a jelly
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 13 : Serving in the Outer Court
猫猫(この間やけど薬の実験したから、ぐちょぐちょなんだよな~。しみる~!)
Maomao (Kono aida yakedo-gusurino jikken shita-kara, gucho-gucho nan-dayonaaa. Shimiruuu!)
Maomao (I just tried out some burn medicine the other day, so it’s really messed up right now. Stings!)
「ぐちょぐちょ」: wet and dirty, soaked and dirty
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 15 : Raw Fish
猫猫(フグの毒…!あのピリピリした痺れがいいんだ…ああ、食べたい)
Maomao (Fuguno doku…! Ano piri-piri shita shibirega iinda… Aa, tabetai.)
Maomao (Pufferfish poison… I love how it tingles and stings. Oh, I really want some now!)
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 18 : Lakan
猫猫(何の薬だろう…?)「フン…ぺろり」(…芋の粉か?壬氏様の薬だよな?)
Maomao (Nanno kusuri daro…?) “Fun…Perori.” (…Imono konaka? Jinshi-samano kusuri dayona?)
Maomao (I wonder what kind of medicine this is.) “Lick.” (Potato flour? This is for Master Jinshi, right?”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 21 : How to Buy Out a Contract
猫猫(こういうのはベラベラ話さないんだな)
Maomao (Ko-iunowa bera-bera hanasa-nain-dana.)
Maomao (So, he doesn’t blab about that.)
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From Episode 21 : How to Buy Out a Contract
やぶ医者「んん…似てなくもないねえ。唾液を混ぜたら、糊もドロドロじゃなくなるのかねえ」
Yabu Isha “Nn…Nite-nakumo-nai-nee. Daeki’o maze-tara, norimo doro-doroja nakunaru-noka-nee.”
Quack Doctor “Hmm, I suppose so. Maybe mixing saliva into glue would make it less sticky as well.”
「ドロドロ」: muddy, thick, with a nuance of “dirty”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Episode 22 : Blue Roses
小蘭「大丈夫だよ~。ぽい!」
Shaoran “Daijobu dayooo. Poi!”
Xiaolan “It’s fine.”
「ぽい!」: light tossing or throwing small thing away

oh
that kind of season…
when the lotus blooms, a delicate beauty rising from serene waters
each petal unfolds like a whispered secret, revealing a dance of colors—soft pinks and whites, kissed by the sun
as the warm breeze gently stirs, these flowers become nature's poetry, a reminder of peace and the simple joys of a summer's day
in their presence, time slows, and the world feels at peace, bathed in the gentle glow of their elegance.
