#Japanese A sideways glance sparks a memory. https://eribosot.blogspot.com/2025/04/jsll-50-yuki-onna-part-15.html

A recent survey by a language education company reveals that some Japanese people don’t feel at all confident in their English abilities. Tourists to Japan, however, seem to think that they’re doing just fine.

Lets test a bunch of FDS games we bought in an auction

Attempt two to test a load of FDS games that we got from a Japanese auction, our first attempt resulted in our Famicom Twin breaking down.

No endorsement for or against this blog, just a fun tip relating to their example sentence here.

演技『が』よかった suggests you think the acting was good. For example, maybe someone asked you, "what part of the movie did you like?"

演技『は』よかった suggests that you think the acting may have been good, but something else (maybe everything else) was not. For example, maybe you were asked, "what did you think of the movie?" and both of you know it was pretty terrible, but the acting was alright.

The latter is often called the comparative usage of は, and it's the reason you do not tell your host that you liked the XYZ dish by saying, 「XYZはおいしい」

Mystery of the demo gods solved in japanese translation.

"demo" でも actually translates to "though", "but" or "however".

Demo gods behaviour make a lot more sense now.

#Japanese crushers at work in #Dnipro.

Every hour, they are capable of processing up to 400 tons of construction debris into materials for further use in the city economy.

According to Mayor #Borys_Filatov, this is the result of cooperation with the #Japanese government and the #JICA #Ukraine agency in #Dnipro.

Moreover, according to #Filatov, the city has a partnership with the #Japanese city of #Osaka, and this cooperation will continue.

Thank you, #Japan

A basic walk in Kyoto is from the Kawaramachi Station area along shops to Yasaka Shrine, then Maruyama Park (first photo). But instead of turning right toward the traditional shops along the slope and reaching the world heritage temple Kiyomizudera, I sometimes turn left and go along the slope to Chion-In (other three photos), the national head temple of a Pure Land Buddhist sect. Pure Land Buddhism has the most adherents in Japan, and this is a very large-scale temple for parishioners and members nationwide, rather than a sort of outdoor museum or monument like Kiyomizudera and most other major tourist attractions.

Everywhere in Kyoto and other prefectures is gorgeous during the fleeting cherry blossom viewing season, so any walking route with a lot of cultivated nature is rewarding to experience now.
