Hi, hi,
This week’s word is …
heart
心
Ready, Set, Associate!
If I was to draw a 心 and color it in, it would probably be 赤い 
I had a good one for this word, but I forgot to post it!
パンダ but not just any 
: a certain one who is ゴロゴロ and works part time at the 動物園.
好奇心 curiosity
That reminds me of well known vtuber akai haato. She might be graduated already, I don’t remember seeing new things from her in a while.
Famously deadly poison to cats.
Hey again, today’s word is partly inspired by me thinking about a character who shows up in the stormlight archive books. I see the word on my WaniKani reviews sometimes and while it’s the more general definition, I still get reminded of those books.
Pattern
模様

Hello,
Today’s word for the week is partly inspired by a Wonder Woman villain who came back recently for the first time since the 60s. I’m not a big Wonder Woman fan but I’m thinking of reading some of her books because I know less about her than I do Batman and Superman in DC lore.
mouse
ネズミ
Ready, Set, Associate!
クッキー cause if you give a ネズミ a クッキー then he’ll want a glass of milk to go with it
Boy I hope this doesn’t lead to a series of increasingly specific requests from the ネズミ

Next word is going to be inspired by things I use at work.
tools
道具

Howdy,
This weeks word is actually less dangerous than you might think, I know someone who works in the industry making them and they’ve got a lot of failsafes.
Chainsaw
鎖鋸
Ready, Set, Associate!
男
I will not be elaborating 
太陽 sun
Chainsaw man was already taken → robbing a gas station with a chainsaw sounds like something Florida Man would do → taiyousea is our Florida Man
Yeehaw everybody,
This week’s word is chosen because ‘murica is turning 250 this week so I thought I should use a good old fashioned ‘murica word. This is such a ‘murican word I wasn’t sure it would have a kanji version in Japanese.
Cowboy
牧童

Hello,
This week’s word is inspired by my recent reading of the Narnia book. It’s one of the most recognizable landmarks on the way to Narnia.
Lamppost
街灯
Ready, Set, Associate!
ひらめく cause why are they always flickering
