This is my biggest current real life leech, I see it once every couple of days at the moment (one of those words which serves the specific use case of being used in introductions to formal Japanese business request letters, along with stuff like 平素より○○) but never remember how to read it. Maybe you posting it is my sign to finally learn it properly
oh, your poor mom traveling in the direction of the heat wave
that is unfortunate timing
I’m so impressed you managed an indoor temp of 26 C near the peak of the heat wave? We kept that for a while but the last 2 days of it got up to 28 by the peak and our neighbors 31.
We didn’t open any windows in the evening but rather woke up at 5 or 6am to open everything until about 8am when it got too hot already.
And now… the problem with a well insulated house. The heat wave is over since 2 days and we still have 26 C indoors as soon as we close the windows because the walls just radiate out everything they stored the last 2 weeks.
Uh!
I guess it makes sense, but I never thought about such a thing
ROFLOL catwithcookiesandctea! Now I will be singing that all day, as I sand drywall with the ACエヤコン off (so the dust doesn’t get into the system) on the hottest day of the year so far…
Nb. In NYC, the maybe drain on the electrical system of air conditioners causes blackout that even stop the subway from running! (happened last summer when I was in NY, and I was surprised)
Hahahaha
GolyBidoofちゃん… you gotta see DancePool on a Pride parade!
(But OMG, I can’t even put on a hat today to keep the paint from falling in my hair … It’s too too hot!!! So that Deadpool costume…)
…I would’ve completely disregarded this word as “not that interesting” if it weren’t for that note, thank you ^^
Can relate, I’m still holding all of my windows wide open and the temperature stubbornly barely moves below 24 ;___;
I’m blaming neighbors for heat radiating from their flat too, but by the end of the week, the evenings here will hit 15 degrees - I can’t imagine I won’t be able to get the cold in by then ^^
Good strategy to only ventilate in the morning, especially since me and my mom empirically found out that stale air in altbau is also a pretty big factor in having it hard to sleep ^^
True Blue from Boygenius is what crosses my mind each time I think about heatwaves ^^
You said you wanted to feel alive
So we went to the beach
You were born in July, '95
In a deadly heat
You say you’re a winter bitch
But summer’s in your blood
You can’t help but become the sun
Also great for karaoke, I love meandering songs xddd
Don’t know how we do with astrology, I’m in the “labels are fun” camp and I definitely do relate to being a winter bitch but also the summer-born sun ^^ xddd
I heard that the heatwaves are coming to the America now, please take care you both! Hope it won’t be as bad as in Europe!
hOW DO YOU EVEN EXERCISE FOR THOSE DANCES xdddd
I imagine they are a dancer already and they just put on an outfit for this one xddd

I like to play the game of “stop reading when you find a really weird word and you’d like to spend a little longer on it” and today this game was 30+ something pages long xddd
前途多難 indeed…
Also, today, because there is a discount on yuri manga for the pride month, a lot of volumes on Bookwalker are 23 yen, so I made a basket with all of my expiring coins and timed them to try to buy as many things as possible, though the jury is torn whether I’ll ever read it or not xddd

The deal is still available until tomorrow, but the coins will have already expired probably
And yep, I’m making a petition in the marathon thread to translate the marathon’s title as well, I forgot the word for Summer Solstice just a week after the marathon xddd
Life
…no but we respect the grindset xddd
i havent seen this guy have any of you…???
So yeah, autumn in the city, everything is yellow and withered away xddd
I did water my plants extra after the heat, but now I’m wonder if I should repot them one day, which considering it’s autumn in the city now, might be a good investment one day xdddd
And hey, maybe get a new one too?
I had some biang biang noodles today, inspired by the Discord conversations with WaniKani people ^^
There are absolutely no ice cream left in the fridges and it’ll take a bit for the future deliveries to come xddd
And hey, I still haven’t figured out the “6 de.de .tk” mystery around the town, but people are being a little more creative in how they vandalize the posters, if anyone had any leads, let me know xdd
…it’s been a while since I’ve been into board games, sigh xddd
See you tomorrow! ^^

Well I’m definitely not Akashelia when it comes to daily reading VNs, but at least I’m trying xddd
New lessons on WaniKani today and, are you sure we didn’t have this one?
The explanation seems to imply that this word is a bit different than 付き合う, but when I typed in “acquaintance”, I got it to be accepted, and moreover, in the VN I was reading today I actually found the word immediately after having it on WaniKani:
So yeah, it’s the 4016th most popular Japanese word, seems like ^^
Aaaand today I’ve finally hit another milestone on WaniKani!
C:
Also, still in the section for Japanese, but I went to a German sprachcafe today to practice a bit German again, unfortunately, I’m in this place with German already where other people shoosh me and ask me for the meanings of my words and to speak slower, so it’s probably time to mentor other people rather than practice my own instead
But that being said, we’ve had a block today where people were bringing their songs and poems from the cultures they’re familiar with to do a culture exchange with other people, and we’ve had one Farsi, one Turkish, I decided to spice it up, and I brought Japanese today!
So lore drop! Back in 2019-ish or something, I was at a Japanese embassy in Warsaw at a rhetoric competition where people would prepare a short piece of speech to present to Japanese juries and then later have questions asked about it, and my language school I was at back then sent me as one of the participants!
I spoke about a Japanese “poem” that touched me and connected with me on a more spiritual level, and I got to recite it too! Aimer’s 花の唄!
Since back then, I could only do at best, A2 in Japanese, I completely bombed the question section despite prior preparations, but still, all participants got kanji/grammar study books, some snacks and ramen-in-a-cup soups, and it’s a very nice memory to have, I remember I did practice my speech with my mom in a car being driven from Warsaw xddddd
花の唄 is the ending song from the first film of Fate/Stay Night Heaven’s Feel by Ufotable, and now, all those years later, I’m reading the same story as a visual novel. Life rhymes ^^
And yeah, here it is, many years later, I’m surrounded with people in a German sprachcafe and I’m reciting:
冷たい花びら 夜を切り裂く
私が摘んだ光をみんな束ねて
貴方の上に全部 よろこびのように
撒き散らしてあげたいだけ
わるいことをしたらきっと貴方が
怒ってくれると約束したよね
だからきっともう一度
私を見つけてくれるよね
寂しいところに もういなくていいね
一人で 見上げた 花びらが散った
…and then doing a DeepL translation of it to German and reading it out to people, the first “poem” I learned in Japanese, one that I remember fondly and gave me a lot of fun memories - it was fun presenting it to wannabe German speakers, and a person pulled me over after the sprachcafe and asked me where she could learn Japanese in Berlin, so I gave her a few tips ^^
Great song/poem though ^^
Life
Wow, are we in France? Why is she so majestic?
Nah, we also have naked statues in Berlin too C:
I’m so disappointed by the new food court right next to Humboldt Forum, where somehow they self-appointed themselves the title of BERLIN’S BEST STREET FOOD and it’s like, not even top25 of places xddd
Very overpriced and there’s like 5 places in total xddd
Oh, and we’ll have a sake festival here too!
Anyway, queer book club! Book club! They’ve become really packed recently and we’ve got like 18 people this time around. Take this one as gospel!
I learned today about a music band called Sparks that has been around for decades, and the guys there are ambiguous in terms of sexual and romantic expression, apparently all of the people they’ve inspired are more popular than Sparks by itself, and it’s been so annoying to Edgar Wright that he directed a documentary based on their life - and also they’ve had multiple concerts in Berlin over decades too ^^
It was a really interesting tangent because I’ve known absolutely nothing about them and looking it up, there’s a big rabbit hole to target C:
Aaaand of course Deltarune Chapter 5 discussions too ^^
See you tomorrow! ^^

This might have been an easy fragment, or simply the most difficult word I’ve found in this fragment was:
This is a VN, so it’s a little easier to do it as well, but I’m slowly getting to the point where I no longer see hiragana and kanji, but I just see the plot happening in my head, so hey, the goals ^^
And also, yesterday at the book club I jokingly confronted one of the people who made fun of me for always bringing lesbian mangas and I haven’t been bringing lesbian mangas for a while, and he was like “i miss you bringing lesbian manga” and I was like
xdddd
There is a toxic girls love drama in Japan that’s called Chaser Game W
And you can watch the first episode for free on a weird LGBTQ drama streaming service called… GagaOOLala? Very pride-month themed xddd
They also have a subscription service for them that’s $6.99 for all of the licensed content, and there’s a LOT of girls love series in the catalog, so who knows, I might consider subscribing ^^
Anyway, Chaser Game W has pretty weird wooden acting, but I heard that the acting develops significantly in the next episodes, so hey ^^
Chinese corner
I’m back to Chinese A1.2 on Monday! But before then, one of the most popular girls’ love dramas in a while comes from Taiwan! It’s called Fragrance of the First Flower and apparently is a cult classic ^^
Today doing Hello Chinese and Lingory alone took me 40 minutes, so damn, other languages also take a ton of time.
And I did finish Extraordinary Attorney Woo! Dong Geu-Ra-Mi is by far the best character of the show and it’s such a joy every time she comes on the screen C:
Ehh, I need to return back to learning Japanese xddd
Life
Awww C:
I invited a friend to watch Backrooms together again, I had the unlimited ticket, so why not ^^
I love the Ottoman Empire Sultan Pirate characterization of Clark from the film xddd
She flooded me with recommendations of horror series on Netflix and her favorite kind of horror seems to be the experience of motherhood? So hey, I’m FLOODED with recommendations recently xddd
Also, I’ve never known how are bus drivers ever recruited for anything and it’s like the first time I’ve seen a listing like this, so hey, all that it takes is to have a driving license of class B and being a responsible person xddd
See you tomorrow!
A lot of adventures have been had while I was gone and they all seemed quite fun ![]()
I see that another language wass added to the list and that adventure alone was wild ![]()
I’m also glad that you were able to survive the heatwave
(having 41° outside and 31° inside isn’t quite fun at all
) and hopefully it’ll be a very very very long time before the next one arrives ![]()
Here’s a special Sakura to help you keep all those languages in check and lend you a hand while learning them and to also bring you a lot of fun adventures ![]()
I saw backrooms!
It’s pretty spook. I can kind of see the way it might be portal inspired. It works well enough but I’m still kind of deciding what I like about it and what my opinion is. I feel like the liminal space part of the backrooms is always at odds with the guy-who-hides-in-the-dark-and-skrungles-around-and-murders-you-in-ways-that-would-look-silly-if-the-camera-got-a-good-look-at-them part of the backrooms. The movie has an idea that does a synthesis of those parts and I don’t hate the second part as much here.
some guys would rather live in the backrooms than meaningfully participate in therapy. Also what I mean by the synthesis is that the skrungle murder guys are all also the memories and self image of the people who get trapped. I think that works well for combining the horrors and appealing to different people who like the backrooms concept for different reasons. Good job movie!
THANK UUU I’LL KEEP TRACK OF THIS SAKURA C:
Somehow I’m really not surprised you would have known about Sparks, have you been to any of their gigs? Apparently they just tour around the whole world every few years when they feel lonely C:
can’t wait for the real estate to be sold in there, if they give you a free 10 thousand square feet, i’m in, i can make myself comfortable in the backrooms C:

IM SORRY WHAT IS THIS PANEL xddd
「なんと。よもや、
蛇蠍魔蠍 の類とは」
鮮血に染まった腹とは裏腹に、男の唇は
白蝋 である。
喉元よりせりあがる悪寒も既にない。
男佐々木小次郎の内臓 は、もはや別のモノとして機能している。
山門は、静かだった。
門番たるサーヴァントも、
現れた影も、
ともに動くことはない。
戦いは、既に終わっている。
石段をヒタヒタと登ってきた“何者か”に、山門を守るアサシンは敗れた。
刃を交える機会、敵を敵と認識する時間さえなかった。
もとより、現れた“何者か”は、次元の違うモノだったのだ。
I feel like when I started the Chinese course again, where I look at the characters and I pretend I understand what is being said but I’m like “yees yees good for you” xdd
Especially ironic considering in the last post I said I didn’t encounter any tough sentences, and today I opened the VN and I’m going through the same words over and over again to try to extract any meaning out of them xdddd
Later on I found another word that summarizes this panel to me:
桁違い
xddd
I stopped literally at the final block before the first h-scene and I’ve already toggled the setting not to show me h-scenes, so I’ll be cringing at it tomorrow xddd
Speaking of cringe, I’ve played Needy Streamer Overdose! Or how it’s known in Japan, NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE
I was hestitating at first if I wanted to play it in English or Japanese, because I knew it would heavily be inspired by the internet slang and the culture and I might have troubles following it in Japanese, but opted for Japanese eventually…
…and yes, I did have troubles following it in Japanese xdd
The good news is that when I tried to change the language to English for one day, I had trouble following the game in English, because of how bizarre it is xddd
But back to Japanese, the protagonist of this game is terminally online and doing VERY NOT WELL (病み度) and it’s our responsibility to try to make her into the best version of herself she can be, whether it’s a super popular streamer, a healthy adult, a person in a relationship, and trust me, it’s very hard xddd
Because it’s a game about a topic of メンヘラ, there is an ending in the game you can arrive on pretty early where アメちゃん recovers and becomes a well functioning human being and i was so happy for her aaaand it’s framed as a bad ending xddd
I found the game interesting as a concept but frustrating as an experience of actually playing it, because, surprise surprise, アメちゃん is very NEEDY and you NEED to provide for her xddd
Life
Look, I had a spider make this whole amazing net on my bike literally over just one night xddd
They’ve been busy that night ^^
But yeah, my regular book swap took place today, spoke a bit to the regulars, raged that the same book by Sally Rooney always comes back around
(this is my least favorite book of her btw xddd)
And ended up getting zero books, but I made a few plans!
…including a very AMERICA FRICK YEAH barbecue party tomorrow that will be a crossover of multiple of our friend groups, and there’s always a question of how well do groups blend with one another ^^
I’ll see some Japanese people tomorrow, and we’ll see if I talk Japanese to them C:
But yeah, so glad the climate is back to normal here ^^
See you tomorrow! C:

i was today years old when i found out what that important japanese word actually is in japanese xdddd
…also
People really scared me that the first disturbing scene at the end of day 5 would be an h-scene and it didn’t seem to be like one still?
From a perspective of a plot, this was definitely a scene that took a side turn, but if you allow me to be horny on main (xddd), I think it was definitely less disturbing than I thought it would be, so finally, after so long, I managed to finish Day 5 of Heaven’s Feel, and the next days will be longer than this one xddd

Happy America’s 250th-WOWOW NOT WITH A KNIFE AT ME
Bigger jumpscare than the Fate/Stay Night ^^
We had a big picnic in the park today! Around 50 people and yes, I did manage to introduce myself to a few Japanese moms, even though I feel like my vocabulary grew really rusty once again, I need to do more Japanese irl ^^
We had a grill and a lot of people crowdsourced their own food for it C:
And yeah, since I seemingly do well with the kids, Japanese parents left me with some hyperactive kids to play around with and I kept alternating screaming “嬉しい” and “痛い痛い!!!” and “もう帰りましょう” to no avail the whole time xddd
It was pretty fun though C:
I took a decent amount of portraits today and tried developing them as RAWs afterwards and we’ve had a really nice time ^^
And in the evening, I ended up going to the Creepy Crypt through the rain on the bike because they made a late swap for a film they’d be showing today, and instead of showing John Carpenter’s horrors, they ended up showing Nightborn - an advance screening of a horror film that isn’t out yet, and it’s got a lot of SUOMI MAINITTU!! ![]()
![]()
energy C:
Recently I’ve been surrounded with Finnish culture and friends and Korean institutes and films, it’s weird xddd
And yeah, I rated it as “good”, it was very gory, very obnoxiously loud and very disgusting, but in a way that still made it entertaining to me ^^
I’m going to two films tomorrow and am way more excited to hang out with friends than to see those movies, spoiler, I’ll be on Backrooms for the third time tomorrow xddd
Either way, see you tomorrow! C:
On the same day that I was speaking English to Japanese moms and kids for several hours in Japan and you’re speaking Japanese to Japanese moms and kids in Germany, weird world ![]()
I guess it’s one of those words like 縁側 or 鴨居 which comes up all the time in anything written about Japanese places with more traditional architecture, or never comes up at all, depending on the material
But make sure to keep it separate from 障子 which I see as often in novels as 襖 ![]()
True that.

oh hey, cool expression C:
Heaven’s Feel has a bad reputation for being fanservicy and then justifying weird things with throwing plot excuses, and here’s one: Sakura wants for Emiya to stay and nurse her at home, d-definitely not because she’s into him, listen, it’s because the Matou family- yes, yes, of course xddd
Also, any sapphics in the chat? Probably going for a karaoke with my friends tomorrow xddd
Either way, I’m starting Chinese tomorrow, so I need to get some good sleep and today’s update is way faster, and Japanese will probably give way to Chinese for a while from tomorrow on for the next two weeks, I’ll still keep doing the SRSes and attempting to read F/SN though!

Neukölln!
This district of Berlin integrates a lot of immigrants and their culture, and they organized a bunch of art events this weekend under 48 Stunden Neukölln, art galleries, open-air stages, dance and music performances and all C:
And luckily enough the cinema I visited today was in heart of those art performances and presentations!
I’ve already spoiled the surprise yesterday but I saw Backrooms for the THIRD time today, less because I really like the film and more because it’s basically the 2026 version of Barbenheimer where everyone wants to see it and see Obsession at the same time, and since I have an unlimited card, I can get my friends cheaper tickets to see it xddd
But no, it was great, and they were the most neurodivergent friends I bounce off of recently so the after-film conversations involved a lot of theories and interrogations on culture we mutually consume
…aaaand we’ve agreed to watch the amazing digital circus next friday too xddd
And then another group of friends got me over to see another film with them today, really far away from my comfort zone, called The Sheep Detectives. And hey, it was a little better than I was worrying it’d be, yes, it’s a family film that’s really Germany coded despite being British, it had a big budget for a film of its kind and it was cute with how it tried to be your child’s first Knives Out film xddd
In general, today was a lot of yapping, a lot of socializing, and I could say that I can’t wait to get some me-time, but it doesn’t seem to be in the cards for tomorrow xddd
Oh, and speaking of feature films, I listened to the whole 3-hour long video by The Moon Channel on the differences between America’s hard power and Japanese soft power, it later evolves into military interventions, economical meddling with countries, being a police of what they call their free world, very good video, absolutely not inflammatory xddd
But it was released on July 4th, so I thought it’d have merit and it definitely did! C:
Ahhh, I enjoy cycling as much as I do, always something interesting to listen on the headphones xddd
So see you tomorrow!
i guess that is because the novel the movie is based on is german eventhough the story takes place in ireland.
ROFLOL!!!
Plus, my heart soars to hear about you and your like-minded friends running around experiencing things together and chatty chatting…
Stulti: very interesting comment
Wow… I’m so impressed that you two can discern such subtle references
absolutely not surprised, it just reads like a fanfiction of german rural communities, thanks for the trivia C:

hey hey, guess who finished N1 on Bunpro today! And back to finishing the remaining levels too.
As opposed to the N2 study, I have a much weaker opinion about liking/not liking Bunpro for learning at N1 level, mostly because a lot of items just aren’t sticking with me and I prefer to practice for remembering what that grammar meant rather than recalling what should I fit in a missing area.
But with the recent labor party anti-labor German news report:
The bar for N1 has officially been maxed out:
I’ve got only a few lessons to go ^^
And very important word today:
C:
And what’s Chaser Game W you might ask?
It’s a lesbian series I found on a weird streaming platform whose name is GagaOOLala, it has a lot of BL and GL series and you can filter by countries, and this one was supposed to be popular and supposed to have taken Japan by storm xddd
It’s a story of a Japanese 会社員 who used to be friends with a Chinese woman, who later outgirlbossed herself, had a husband, made a child, and then started regretting it, and now the Chinese woman kind of wants to ruin her life to be with the Japanese 会社員 but the 会社員 has to go first and embarrass herself, even though the 会社員 is really torn whether this is a good decision in the first place xddd
Watched it without any subs, just with Japanese, because the dialogues had some breaks between them, I still followed on the story, but I’d be lying if I said I understood everything xddd
Pretty toxic, pretty かぐや様は告らせたい, but most importantly, CHINA MENTIONED :DDDD
Chinese corner
WOO CHINESE CORNER
Fufufu, now we’re really speeding up, as if it wasn’t fast enough the last time already ^^
The A1.2 group has people who have either had classes before or have done apps, which means that there’s less explaining of 汉子 to do and we can focus on the 汉语 part, but one person getting progressively more tired with reading tones as the time went on made me realize that I don’t really remember what was at the beginning of the lesson earlier today, so yes, there is a lot of self-study in the classes as well
Towards the end, as I realized my brain was frying, I started grilling the teacher about breakfast-adjacent vocabulary, because she told us that in China the breakfasts in hotels end at like, 8:30 or maybe 9:00, and I’m a huge fan of breakfasts, so we tried different grammars and words by complaining about Chinese breakfasts xdddd
我梦见早餐了。- wo3 meng4jian4 zao3can1 le. - Ich träumte vom Frühstück.
让我上午11点吃东西。- rang4 wo3 shang4wu3 shi2 yi1 dian3 chi1 dong1xi1. - Lass mich um 11 Uhr frühstücken!
请问, 早餐还供应吗?- qing3wen4 zao3can1 hai2 gong1ying4 ma? - Ist Frühstück wieder geöffnet?
您们餐厅的早餐太棒了!- nin2men can1ting1 de zao3can1 tai4 bang4 le - Ihres Restaurant hat wirklich wünderschönes Frühstück
对了,该吃早餐了。下午二点。- dui4le, gai1chi1 zao3can1 le. xia4wu3 er4 dian3 ba. - Ach ja, es ist Zeit fürs Frühstück. Um 14 Uhr, nicht wahr?
it’ll be a big success if I remember what the word for breakfast is tomorrow xddd
But on the upside, I was really happy with my German today and was able to speak my mind clearly in classes, so hey, practice pays off!
Also, similarly to the Japanese section, I was looking for the popular Girls Love series from each country and I found one from Taiwan! It does use 汉语, so I was interested how much I’d be able to tell, and surprise surprise, words like 什么 and 名字 come to me automatically now! Same with the 吗 and 吧 particles, and halfway through the first episode, one of the characters wrote 你好吗 and I was immediately like “OMG I KNOW THAT ONE” xddd
In general, even with picking individual words, I don’t remember picking this many words from listening at A1 in Japanese, but this was forever ago, so I’m pretty happy with my listening today, and it’s a pretty cute series too C:
Life
O damn, how nice, they’ll hold my cash here for me C:
So remember how I mentioned the no-me-time yesterday? I got invited to karaoke by a friend today xdd
It had a pretty fun system, where you pay €5 for the entrance and then you can go to any small booth and scream on top of your lungs with any group, or ask them for a permission to request your own songs, so me and my friend were looking for small booths to have as many of our songs as possible xddd
They definitely doubled on the aesthetic and luckily on the scale of Berlin, they didn’t allow any smoking indoors and had a special punishment area for smokers xdddd
And yeah, got my first Stateside on karaoke, got my first Bangaranga, smashed Bring Me To Life and Cranberries - Linger, Paramore - Decode, Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please, High School Musical 2, K-Pop Demon Hunters, tons of singing today ^^
They had exactly one song in Japanese (guess which one xddd)
…and I kind of decided to make Bôa - Duvet a honorary member of Japanese song collection, even though nobody’s Spotify playlist in our karaoke booth had gotten it in the sad girl 90s playlists yet xdddd
I rate karaoke today a big minion/10 C:
Also, something something, Chinese century, had a Vietnamese Bánh mì today to celebrate the start of the course, delicious and stan Vietnam xddd
And managed to hack my Playstation Vita today because I was bored and damn, the community support for the console is really impressive and there’s a lot of things one can play with ^^
See you tomorrow! C:
I really should bother to learn the Evangelion song. It’s freaking everywhere.
Carefull with the last screenshot. I think I started it 2 years ago, restarted it at least twice, have 60 hours total in it but still didn’t finish it…
Though to be fair, this time around I’m actually making measureable progress being in day 4 at least.
The strange words without having a hooking setup destroyed me the first two times around.
