Not very long ago I finished watching the Japanese reality show Terrace House (B&GITC), whilst watching I decided to take a few screenshots of Japanese writing.
If you have seen the show already, you might enjoy looking through the screenshots more so than if you have never seen the show before.
If you have never seen the show, there are some screenshots that might be considered spoilers.
The Japanese shown is a mixture of handwritten, printed/digital text and ketchup on omurice.
I expected to find a lot more than examples than I did, but since I have them now I thought I would share them.
⊠Is âcowardâ a typical thing to write on omurice?
Speaking of which, probably getting a little off topic, but Iâm gonna be in a position where I could visit the Cup Noodle Museum in Yokohama on my trip next month, but the TripAdvisor reviews generally come across as âitâs for kids - adults will find it mehâ. Any comments from this crowd?
Two housemates (Uchi and Minori) were in a relationship, they had been dating for weeks and not a lot had happened, Minori made omurice for everyone and made this particular one for Uchi to find when he would come home because she didnât feel like he was making enough of an effort. Unfortunately it backfiresâŠ
Cup Noodle Museum
I wanted to go there when I last visited Japan but it was a bit too far from where I was staying. Like many museums, there are a lot of activities for children. The museum is specifically based on the Nissin brand Cup Noodles so you might expect to see a lot of self-promotion.
The whole museum building in Yokohama seems to be really well designed, you can view most of the museum in Google Street View.
Basically, Minori and Uchi had been going on several dates, and Uchi had told her that he liked her twice (!), but both times Minori said that she wasnât ready for a relationship yet.
So he gave her time. But then she got impatient and thought that his lack of action meant cowardice.
Translation: if he had pushed on and kept asking her out, she would have been annoyed because she already told him she needed more time. But when she was ready, he had to be able to read her mind and ask her out immediately. Any delay would be perceived as âunmanlyâ.
I wouldnât call it flip-flop, just immature. She didnât reject him and then accepted him afterwards. Rather, she expected him to give her what she wants, when she wants it. Not a minute too soon or too late. Note also that she couldâve as easily asked him out. We are after all living in a world where women and men are equals. And yet she expects him to do all the work.
HAHAHA ! i love this show, and the ketchup on omurice moments !! iâm still watching on netflix, so will wait till Iâve finished to read the whole thread !
