Japan. Jepun. Nippon.
Isn't it obvious that I'm so into Japan right now? Even nama belog pun dah jadi Japan-ish. Every post title pun very the Japan-ish. Kan? LOL
So what's Japan to me?
Japan to me is Ultraman. Doraemon. Gaban. Kamen Rider. Cybercop. Moero Attack. Sailormoon. Sin Chan. Morning Musume. ARASHI~♥. Sushi. Bento. Sakura. and Mount Fuji. (^v^)
If you're 1980's babies, you're sure would remember back in those days semua Dorama from Japan kena dubbed in Bahasa kan? And it doesn't sounds weird at all. Kan? Even if the voice character sounds kelakar nak mampos, kita still tengok till the very end. Kan?
Okay. Too much Kan. (-_-)
But pelik tak? Why eh our source for Japanese Entertainment sangat limited kat Malaysia ni? I mean, to actually find news about JPop Idol dalam local newspaper adalah sangat RARE. sangat sangat Rare! It's annoying.
Luckily we have that thing call internet.
But sadly, most of the webs are in Japanese. Nak pakai google translater? Letih ah nak paham satu satu. Direct translation buat my head hurts. And the webs in English pulak tak banyak. You're lucky if you could find one yang sangat sangat resourceful.
Like for instant, I'm a huge fan of Morning Musume of Hello!Project. And this one web yang gave me every info that I need is
Hello!Online. There's everything you wanna know about Hello!Project group.
My rate for this web?
10★'s v(^_^)v
And lately, I am obsessed with Arashi and Ikuta Toma. After months of searching, I coudn't find anything like Hello!Online. But thank gawd there are tons of fan's community. Decided to join and now I got tons of their TV shows and doramas lining up in my laptop. Waddup! LOL
Sekarang ni sebab terlampau obses dengan Arashi, I sometimes mumbles in Japanese without even realizing it. Weird. I know. But honestly, I find Japanese culture, language and food sangat fascinating.
I honestly thinks that Japanese people are way bersopan santun berbudi bahasa daripada kita Malaysian(yang di claim2) ni. I mean, pernah ke kita balik rumah and sebut,
"Saya dah balik!" and akan di sambut with
"Selamat pulang!"?
Ade tak?
Ade ke parents korang or anyone yang ade kat umah tu nak cakap
"Selamat pulang!"? Paling2 pun akan dibalas dengan
"Eh? dah balik?" or
"Hah. Dah balik" or yang paling sadis kena reply dengan
"Hmm..."
But in Japan, I just love the fact that they will said
"Tadaima!" everytime they got home and
"Okaeri!" in reply for that. And not just that. Nak makan pun sebut
"Itadakimasu". Dah abis makan sebut
"Gochisousama deshita!".
Okay. Okay. I know. Some of you mesti cakap,
"Kan lebih afdal if sebut "Assalammualaikum", "Waalaikumsalam", "Bismillah" and
"Alhamdulillah"?
Ye ye. Saya tahu tu. Tapi itu Islamic way. I'm talking about culture here you guys. Our Malaysian culture. Yang every Malaysian pun bley sebut sama2. Ini kat Malaysia if Indian or Chinese bagi salam pun Malays dah naik angin.
Hish.
So yeah. That's basically a few reasons why I love Japan. Their culture. Their way of socializing. I'm thinking of taking a Japanese language class sometimes soon. Just the thought of being able to communicate in Japanese excites me. (^_^)
Now. Allow me to get a little crazy fangirl mood just for a lil bit. heheheheh!
I ♥ these dorks! (^-^)
