Are the Japs fucked up?

Awaken from Your Slumber

Japanese people, the time has come to awaken from the deep slumber that has dulled our senses and weakened our resolve. Are we truly satisfied with our current state, where we have grown complacent and indifferent? The Japan our ancestors once built with pride and determination now appears as a mere shadow of its former self. Where has our pride gone?

A Nation Adrift

We were once a people who stood tall, guided by a strong sense of identity and purpose. Our culture, our traditions, and our way of life were the cornerstones of our nation. Yet today, we find ourselves adrift, losing sight of the values that made us who we are. The influence of foreign ideas and the allure of modernity have eroded the very essence of what it means to be Japanese.

The Duty to Reclaim Our Heritage

Is this the Japan we wish to pass on to our children? A nation that has forgotten its roots and lost its sense of purpose? We have a duty to reclaim what has been lost. It is not enough to merely remember our heritage; we must actively restore it. We must rise and take action, for the future of our nation depends on it.

Reaffirming Our Commitment

We must reject the forces that seek to dilute our identity and reaffirm our commitment to the values that have defined us for centuries—honor, loyalty, and a deep respect for our culture. These ideals must be lived and breathed in every aspect of our lives. Our education, our economy, our societyall must be revitalized with the spirit that once made us great.

The Call to Action

This is not a call to return to the past, but rather a call to reclaim our future. Japan must once again stand strong, guided by the unity and resolve of its people. We cannot afford to continue sleepwalking through history. The time to act is now, before it is too late. We must awaken, take responsibility, and strive for greatness, not only for ourselves but for the generations yet to come.

Our Responsibility

The responsibility to restore Japan’s glory lies with us, the people of Japan. We must not settle for mediocrity; we must pursue excellence in all that we do. The future of our nation is at stake, and we must rise to the challenge. Japanese people, wake up, and let us reclaim the destiny that is rightfully ours. The time for action is now.

Nagasaki, Israel, Ukraine



Once I had a quite cold attitude to Nagasaki’s Atomic Bomb Victims Memorial Peace Prayer Ceremony, I was likehere comes another Peace rally LMFAO”. But just look at this, the ambassador of Israel attacked Nagasaki’s mayor fiercely saying “The mayor took over the ceremony for his ideology”, a bigwig at the Simon Wiesenthal Center said “the Nagasaki’s atomic bomb ended World War 2” and now he’s criticizing the non-invitation of Israel’s rep to the ceremony asunethical”, and top of that, the ambassador of the US, the one who dropped the atomic bomb, is talking nonsense, saying “if Israel don’t join we also don’t join lol.” With hearing all these I’m so surprised of finding myself very much pissed off…are you all making light off victims of such a cruel weapon you sons of bitch?

If you want to beat up the mayor of Nagasaki, it's fine to criticize the Shinkansen project in Kyushu area, corruption, welfare arrangement, or other issues (*This is just an example of some topics, I'm not claiming that I’m actually frustrated by any of these). But don’t these morons know that the Nagasaki’s peace ceremony is essentially a memorial ceremony? No one is crazy enough to start screaming in memorial service about his relatives whom he doesn’t like. If someone was yelling, ”Why didn't you invite me to the memorial service!!”, Its clear in everyone’s mind saying, ”It's because you behave that way..” … If you claim yourself as a grown-up, “it was really a shame, lets talk it over and get things straight” should be your response. Does Gillard Cohen realize that he is making a personal attack on someone who in Western terms would be the director of the Auschwitz museum?

(as a side note, I am fed up also to the vulgar accusation by the Palestinian Ambassador when Hiroshima City invited the Israel rep to their ceremony. Please go ahead and be aggressive in UN conferences, but again is that a proper behavior in connection with the memorial ceremony?)

I haven’t say enough to the reaction of reps of Western countries to Nagasaki. Why don’t you think twice before reacting impulsively? No doubt Japan is one of the most pro-Western countries in Asia, they support Ukraine most earnestly among Non-NATO countries. Still even quiet and shy Japanese people is totally put off by military operations of Israel. It is too easy to imagine how Israel is hated in non-pro-Western countries. When will you have an imagination to realize your such attitude making many countries having distance from Ukraine. If western countries close their eyes to horrors in Gaza and be determined to defend Israel anyway, why aren’t others allowed to keep their relationship with Russia even after devastating scenes in Bucha?

(btw I was so impressed when Zelenskyy expressed his support to Israel, are you serious? Don't you think of a scenario where Ukrainian militias rise up in Donetsk or in Luhansk, resulting in heavy casualties among Russian settlers, leading to Russia denouncing this as a despicable terrorist attack targeting Russian civilians? That's exactly what's happening in Palestine.)

Anyway you morons should come to your senses, and admit Israel’s outrageous actions are no difference from that of Russia. And know that calling the criticism to Israel as “antisemitism” is making you look so smart. Refusing Neo-Nazism ain’t discrimination to Germans, doxing Zaitokukai (*a nationalist group which calls for an end to state welfare and alleged privileges afforded to Koreans in Japan) ain’t Japanese-hate, and impeachment against Zionists ain’t anti-Jewish either.

A secret of the Japanese

In Japanese, brown is called 茶色 "chairo". This means "the color of tea.

However, the most common tea in Japan is green tea, and when Japanese people think of tea, they think of green.

For example, Japanese people use matcha green tea in various sweets, and the package design of many such products is based on the color green.

However, 茶色 "chairo," meaning the color of tea, is brown.

Kanji characters are useful ideographs, but often there is a disconnect between the literal meaning and the practical meaning, leading to confusion.

A secret of the Japanese

When Japanese people get angry at someone, they often say "Tako!", which means "octopus."

For example, "You idiot! You octopus!" It's funny, isn't it?

Please try using it. Octopus!

コロンブスへの海外の反応

気になったので mrs green apple columbus videoでXを検索してみた。

さっさと燃え悪意がなかったと表明した後だからか、差別されているのが白人ではないからか、そこまで燃えはいない。

海外では無名からワンピースや炎炎の消防隊がもらい事故してる。

Japanese music band Mrs. GREEN APPLE who did the opening, Inferno for Fire Force, has pulled their latest music video, "Columbus", after huge outrage for depicting themselves as explorers and the native people as monkeys.

The band has issued an apology stating that their intension was to depict these Historical figures having a "fun house party".

オープニング曲炎炎ノ消防隊』を担当した日本音楽バンドMrs. GREEN APPLEは、自分たち探検家原住民を猿に見立てて描いたことに大きな怒りがあったため、最新ミュージックビデオコロンバス」を取り下げた。

バンド歴史上の人物たちが「楽しいホームパーティー」をしている様子を描くことが意図だったと謝罪した。

Jpop band Mrs. Green Apple’s latest MVColumbushas been pulled just 1 day after release. The highly problematic video features the 3 band members dressed as Christopher Columbus colonizing apes

Can’t believe people thought this was a good idea

https://x.com/Johnny_suputama/status/1801237032993218978?t=KYIHDLHAz0FTTvHLK050Bg&s=19

even as someone who cannot stand mrs green apple, making the music video for a song called "columbus" like this is astonishingly bad. this was aimed at a GLOBAL AUDIENCE. at least the MV is being wiped from history but why did no one question civilised explorers finding monkeys?!

People saying conservatives were even shocked 🥴 this is one of the reasons why the Japanese market is so insular—they can get away with racist shit all the time and there’s no outside reaction bc of copyrights creating barriers for their artists content.

日本人のバンド人種差別的なことをしているのを見たので、広島長崎を持ち出して日本人全体に人種差別的になるつもりだ」

Watch bunch of fucking Twitter and TikTok morons use this as a Gotcha moment, to be racist towards the Japanese. Fully ignoring the fact that they were forced to apologize for the shit they did by the Japanese themselves.

"I seen a Japanese band do something Racist so I'm gonna bring up Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and be racist to the entirety of Japan"

~ Random Twitter/TikTok morons probably ~

What you say is useless for English as a lingua franca.

People from various countries may pronounce English with accents which come from their own mother tongue, make English sentences obviously translated from other languages.

 

It's one of the reason why Japanese people "cannot" speak English that there are many Japanese people say "native speakers don't say it like that"

We don't have to speak flawless English.

Basically, a woman's vagina is 8 cm, so 8 cm is enough for a dick when she gets an erection.

Rather, thickness is easier to get a feeling of insertion than length. And this also doesn't have to be above average.

Rather, 20cm dicks don't fit all of Japanese people's body shape, and they just hurt because they force them to poke the vaginal wall instead of stimulating them.

I'm 16 cm and 5 cm thick, but if you insert this completely, most people feel a different pain,

People with little experience and people with narrow vaginas quickly rub and feel pain.

Anyway, if it's 8 cm, you won't be able to enjoy the stiffness of the uterine mouth, and if it's about average thickness, most women will feel loose.

You won't get the feeling of rubbing the hole, so to be honest, I feel sorry for people with average dick.

I feel sorry because I will "update my dick" even if I have an ex-boyfriend. In that sense, I'm jealous of 20cm dicks.

It's just that I can't put a long and thin dick completely, it just hurts, and I feel sorry for it.

Japan review

Japan review it's been a year since I

moved to Japan and I thought it made

sense to finally rate Japan I will talk

about things I like and the things I

don't like which seems to be the only

two options available if you have

opinions about this country

so sugoi or did you know Japan is

actually really bad it's got a lot of

survival issues okay I will list one

good thing and bad thing and I will not

hold back there's no trash bins

where I'm gonna put my trash

I have to put in my pocket

oh

there's always these generic things that

you hear or yes when we you visit it's

kind of weird but then you realize it's

not a big deal anyway let's start off

with number one reason I like Japan

it feels like a giant playground no I

don't mean in the Logan Paul kind of

sense of doing whatever the hell you

want

but rather there's a infinite things all

right lazy feels like to explore and

experience and I've been here a year now

and I don't think I'm gonna get bored

anytime soon although I am having a

child so I don't know how much more I

have time to experience

but it really feels like a whole new

world and if you visited you can

probably relate to it and I'm glad that

even a year in it still feels incredibly

fresh and I even would say that you

realize that the best part of Japan

aren't the touristy places kind of

obviously but there are so many areas

that I found that I really enjoy

visiting and this is probably more

specific to me but you know Tokyo is

very busy and so many times I just catch

myself surrounded by what feels like

hundreds of people and they have no idea

who I am

everyone is just doing their own thing

and that feels so [ __ ] good

now once it was staring at me no one's

following me no one's being weird you

guys are weird and I'm just kidding I

just love the feeling of being able to

exist in public and uh not worrying

about what everyone else is doing like

I've said this before but I genuinely

enjoy talking to fans or when people

approach me it always makes me happy but

it can be kind of frustrating to always

wanting to just do your own thing and

always be

you know so yeah let's move on to the

bad things of Japan number one reason

Japan is bad it's kind of a heavy

subject and I haven't seen anyone else

really talk about it it's not brought up

very often at least and that is cones

there's too many cones in Japan once you

see it you cannot unsee it they're

everywhere they say oh Japan has so many

vending machines there's like five per

one person no the opposite

there's more cones than people why are

there so many cones I need to know we

got the tall ones we got the small ones

we got the funny ones the cute ones the

sexy ones I do like those I just don't

understand that whoever plays these

cones think I'm just gonna barge through

oh thank God there's cones here

otherwise I had no idea what I was gonna

and I realized the cone history of Japan

stretches centuries okay if you played

Animal Crossing sometimes it's a

Japanese game so sometimes you get these

items right you're like oh that's kind

of weird I don't know exactly what that

is but it's probably something Japanese

and then you get the bamboo thing and

you're like what the hell is that what

am I even gonna do with that and then

you see it in real life here in Japan

you're like holy [ __ ] it's a cone that's

a cone they're everywhere

I feel like they are following me

I'm glad I was able to talk about this

I'm for one and willing to call out

Japan knock it off man no more cones

there's enough cones let me tell you

something even better than cones you may

have noticed new merch finally it's been

forever my mom came over she had

unofficial merge because I literally

have no other merch I've hadn't hadn't

merch I'm sorry Mom so we spruced up the

logo got a cool back design the team

that worked on it really truly

understand how my brand and I think they

did such a good job these pieces look

amazing and I think you guys are gonna

really like them as well these are

available for limited time only so make

sure you order now so excited to finally

have this merch available thanks to

amaze for making this happen we are

gonna have one piece that will stay on

the store so my mom will not buy the

wrong merch but for a limited time that

piece will be available in this color

off-white kind of color it looks really

nice and then after that you can still

get it but not in this color that's

you want this one yeah I get it

so yeah check that out if you're

interested I'm so happy about these

designs and I hope you guys would like

them as well all right reason number two

I like Japan yay when we first announced

that we were gonna move to Japan there

was so many people just saying how bad

Japan is actually did you know Japan is

really bad did you know this I have to

list all these reasons now because

everyone is like thing and then thing

Japan ah so I have to tell them and I

it's actually but one thing in

particular that people said was that old

people really don't like foreigners they

hate them so when I was gonna stop by to

say hi to our neighbors who was a little

older at least some of them I was

terrifying I heard all these stories you

know like what are they gonna do to us

so I had my guard up ready for the worst

and I was met with nothing but kindness

and welcoming and I felt like a total

dick for having this preconceived ideas

thanks to other people

and just a side comment like yes there

are definitely probably people that

don't like foreigners and all that stuff

but I realized I should let my own

experience is dictate how I feel about

certain things maybe that's just

ignoring a problem I don't know it just

feels like it's a bad way to approach

life if you always have a negative

expectation you know it's smiling people

may Smile Back

smiled back

thank you sometimes they don't and

that's okay you know anyway my point

being Japanese people are very in my own

experience

are very nice and friendly the majority

at least and yes even to foreigners I

feel like they are especially nice to

foreigners because they think we're like

a kid lost at Disneyland or something

I just asked for directions I didn't

need you to walk me for half an hour to

this specific place I was going but

thank you I appreciate it a lot of times

I go bouldering alone and there's always

other groups of people being supportive

and yelling like I'm about there like go

you can do it I love it I think it's

great you know or if you're small

talking with people people generally

want to communicate with you and I love

having those moments but of course

there's times where people are like oh

you're a foreigner I don't feel like

even trying

which again it's fine speaking of which

reason I don't like Japan number two

their language

I have lived here for a year and I'm not

fluent in Japanese

I am dumb I am very dumb I remember the

moment we moved here I had studied some

Japanese and I was like

Let's test out this knowledge that I

have acquired let's go I'm just gonna

come in it's gonna be dangerous and you

enter a store for the first time and

they're like

what

what oh

what the classic the most common

experiences that you have aren't

necessarily what you're taught in the

textbook yay I know I think that's the

same for anyone learning a language for

the first time but don't even get me

started on the kanji main what the [ __ ]

is this I feel like Japanese is such a

hard language obviously but I don't

think people realize how hard it is at

least me personally because the more you

learn the more you realize you don't

know [ __ ]

for English speakers Japanese is

considered one of the most difficult

languages and because it's just so

different I listed it as bad because

that was my first kind of experience

with it coming here but the more I

interact with people the more it feels

like I'm unlocking new skills you know

oh I made a phone call for the first

time oh I could ask someone over the

phone I know big deal but it's like oh I

can actually do that or even just having

a small tiny yes shittiest conversation

with a stranger it's still something and

it feels good you start to all of a

sudden understand you know a movie if

you're watching oh I understand actually

what's going on here or I can play games

and kind of get what this they're saying

I have to look up words obviously but to

me all those new experiences that it

unlocks to me is very rewarding even

though it's such a challenge I would

actually now say it's a good thing I

played it on its head it was a good

thing all along but I obviously have a

long [ __ ] way to go

and it just I don't think it will damage

time reason number three I like Japan

this is nothing to do with Japan to say

it's more related to me taking a more

relaxed approach to YouTube for my

entire 20s I did nothing but YouTube

that was my life and that's okay but I

also think it was a little toxic

probably you know if I wasn't making

videos I sure as hell was thinking about

making videos I uploaded videos during

our honeymoon

and it feels really good to finally be

free from it you know and I can discover

other things in life there are other

things in life

a new hobbies and interest that I've

always wanted to do I can do and have so

much fun with it surfing I know I would

love for the longest time and I finally

get to do it and it's so [ __ ] amazing

I love learning new things anything that

isn't necessarily connected to all of

this on the internet and that is

something I'm very very grateful that I

discovered so yeah it's not really Japan

I could have done that anywhere but it's

largely why I enjoyed so much here

reason I don't like Japan number three

this is probably the most trickiest one

and it's the rules what are the rules

Japan has so many rules and it's a bit

conflicting for me to complain about

because a lot of the best stuff about

Japan not the best stuff but a lot of

the reasons why Japan works so well is

because of the rules you know the trains

are always on time things just work in

general it's hard to explain the streets

are clean people aren't loud in public

and so on and these are sort of societal

rules that make it happen more or less

but sometimes There are rules that just

don't make any sense and I have no

problem following rules as long as I

understand the reason for it you know

don't talk on the phone on the train

because it's generally annoying when

other people do that to you A lot of it

is just be thoughtful of other people

it's not just about you and that just

makes it more pleasant for everyone but

one rule is especially which I talked

about before is the fact that because of

kovid I'm not allowed to be in the

delivery room for our baby for more than

two hours that's because of covered

rules it just doesn't make sense to me

and I tell people about this like uh

family and friends and they're always

like well why don't you just ask them or

like why don't you talk to them I'm sure

you can there's got to be somewhere and

it's like no it's Japan okay there are

rules and people follow the rules for

better or worse you know so the more I

time I spend Permalink | 記事への反応(0) | 01:06

留学記憶を懐かしむ

もう5年も前になるのか、死ぬまでにあと1回は海外行きたいね


留学先でもぼっちだったから、休日も誰かと遊びの予定を入れることもなく、

大学内に走る川(日本と違って川幅がめちゃくちゃ広い!川というより海)がどこまで続いているか歩いて追ったり、

ホストファミリーの近所を(迷子にならないよう直線で)徒歩で行けるところまで歩いたりしたなぁ。

それだけでも異なる文化圏空気を感じられて楽しかった。

川を下る?上る?方は、最終的に湿原みたいなところに出て、結構足元がぬかるんでいたので引き返した。

日本の土手とは違って、川と陸地に高低差があまりなかった記憶。今思えば少し危険だったかも。

英語共通語世界フランス語を学んだ経験も楽しかった。

英語フランス語の2言語だけでコミュニケーションを取る大変さが大きな刺激になった。

日本人は自分ひとりだけだったけど、フランスから留学生も現地の学生もめちゃめちゃ優しくて感動した。

日本人のシャイなところは海外では通用せず、初対面の時に

自然パーソナルスペース取っちゃって、1席空けて座ったらちょっとショックな表情を瞬間的にされたのが

悪いことしちゃったなーと後々思った(多分、外国人から避けられた、みたいに受け取られたんだろう)。

There's no reason, just only Japanese people are shy.

Il n'y a aucune raison, juste les japonais sont trop timides.

とでも咄嗟に言えたら良かったんだけどね~。

現地の学生留学生とで交流会が開かれるってことでパブに行ったけど、

日本留学生ばっかりで現地の学生が少ないし、陽キャパリピなノリがきつくて

早速交流会に来たことを後悔して、一人お通夜ムードで死んだ顔してたら

現地在住の日本講師(いるもんだねぇ!)が機転を利かせてくれて、同じように

パーティー雰囲気に馴染めない学生グループ(といっても2人だけ)に混ぜてくれてマジ感謝

別の大学から来ている日本男子学生、(あとで分かったことだけどアメリカ日本西ヨーロッパの2重留学?)アメリカから留学してきたアメリカ女学生

3人と1時間くらいだけだったけど、ゆるーくネガティブトークしたのが本当に楽しかった。

こういうパーティー雰囲気きじゃないんだよねーとか、騒がしいところよりもこうして静かに語り合う方が好きだとか、初めて波長の合う人間と語り合えた。

加えて女性と初めて(過言)まともに雑談出来たのが国外ってのも皮肉な話だねぇ…。

本当はもう少し話したかったけど、それは叶うことなくお開き。

現地在住の日本講師情報を教えてもらったけど、あの二人とは二度と会うことはないだろう。

覚えたたてだと使いたくなるのは英語も同じで、日々の課題英語日記を書くんだけど

"blunder"使ったら翌日の授業中、教室の外に一人呼び出されてめちゃくちゃ心配された(su○cideを疑われた)のを覚えている。

大失敗のニュアンスがどの程度かちゃんと把握してなかったのが悪いんだけど、

「取り返しのつかない過ち」くらいのニュアンスとして受け取られたのは凄く驚いたね。

just a heart breakって答えて事なきを得たんだけど。

現地のお菓子も美味しかった。

ホストファミリーがお昼ご飯(といっても結構軽食)に付けてくれた

チョコレートバー(Aldi Belmont Biscuit Seal Bars)が物凄くジャンキーで美味しくて

これどこで買ったの?って聞いて休日スーパーに買いに行ったのも思い出。

日本じゃ売ってないかお土産にも最適だった。

流石海外休日に車でまとめ買いするから、店内はめちゃくちゃ広いし、レジベルトコンベア方式。感動したね。

外国人が一人店内をきょろきょろして、長時間滞在にもかかわらずちょっとだけしか品物を買わないってのが、

冷静に考えたら「万引きに疑われたらどうしよう」って不安になったのもある意味思い出。

監視カメラあるだろうし、レジで堂々としていれば大丈夫。万が一万引きを疑われても、リュックの中身を全て見せれば問題ないって決心したが。

結局、Seal Barsパック入り1袋と切らしちゃった歯磨き粉(留学期間がそんなに長くなかったので、どれを買うか非常に迷った。どれも量が多すぎる)を買った。

歯磨き粉は塩入りの安っちいやつなんだけど、帰国後に家族内で話題に出来て楽しかった。

お菓子と言えばほかに学内にあったスターバックス(といっても日本のとは全く異なる。商品だけの店舗)で

食べた紅茶チョコケーキ観光先で食べたアイス(かなり高いけど見た目も味も完璧)も良かった。

5年経って英語ほとんど使えなくなっちゃったけど、あと1回だけでも海外(ヨーロッパ圏、同じ国でも違う国でも)行きたいね・・・

原文

全部載せるのは重労働からかいつまんで

B

増 "Well… do you have something you want to tell to Japanese people?"

B "yes, "Konnichiwa!" "


B "well, I would say something not only to the Japanese, but to many other people. how should I put this?

"Most people began to hate Russians by default. But this war was started by our government, not by us. Of course, we don't want this war, nobody wants it. And I assure you, our people have repeatedly gone to rallies against the government. But always people who participate in such events are sent to prison. Even people on the Internet who express a point of view that the government does not like are jailed for misinformation.

And I will not deny that some Russians have succumbed to the propaganda of our government and are expressing support for this "military operation". But many people in other countries are actually the same. They hypocritically pretend that they are concerned about the fate of Ukraine, although in fact they have only recently learned that this country even exists. In reality, if you ask them "What do they think about the DNR and LNR?", they will have absolutely no idea what are you talking about.

It's good if you sincerely worry about Uraina. But the majority worry about Ukrina and hate Russians only and only because it's a trend that their government has set. In other words, this is the same propaganda.

Well, to summarize, I just wanna say "let's just be friendly to each other." Even if our governments are not friendly to each other, this doesn't mean that we should be the same." "

Aの露訳

  • Что вы думаете о Зеленском?
  • Знаете ли вы других политиков, кроме него?
  • Какое будущее вы предсказываете для себя? Какого будущего хотите сами? (политически и вообще)
  • Что вы думаете о законе об украинском языке?
  • Как, по-вашему, живут люди в ЛНР и ДНР?
  • Видели ли вы людей, которые изменились после начала войны?
  • Что вы думаете о том, что русская армия похищает украинцев? и зачем?
  • Как по-вашему, как в русском языке правильно писать - "на Украину" или "в Украину"?
  • Хотите ли вы что-нибудь сказать японцам?


①の回答

  • Зеленский это человек с Большой буквы, который с приходом обратил внимание на народ и его потребности, Украина менялась и меняться в лучшую сторону, благодаря Народу и его культуре
  • По поводу других политиков, в Украине каждый Украинец знает всех, так как каждый Украинец в Украине интересуется и переживает за свою страну
  • О будущем скажу только одно, Все будет хорошо, и будет ещё лучше... Одно только не вернуть это жизни других людей, детей, а также детей которые потеряли своих родителей.

О своем будущем скажу только одно, что после войны усыноввлю и удочерю детей которые потеряли своих родителей

  • По поводу закона об Украинском языке, так это у каждого государства приемлемо. Но люди не правильно трактуют его. Я только за него, но сам как видите пишу Вам на русском, и в Украине никто не запрещает говорить на русском, а гос. Учреждениях просят говорить на Украинском.
  • по поводу ЛНР и ДНР, то это колония где люди не имеют свободы слова, того слова которое они имели находясь под юрисдикцией Украинского законодательства
  • По поводу изменений людей - Мы стали ещё дружней и сплаченней, люди думают не только о себе...
  • По поводу русской армии: то у меня просто нету слов... (Это варварство)
  • правильно писать "в Україну"

Aの英訳

About my future, I'll say that after the war I'll adopt children who lost their parents in this bloodshed.

増田質問は上のをコピペ


Bの露訳と②の回答

1. Что ты думаешь на счёт Зеленского?

Моё мнение, что Зеленский является лучшим президентом, который не бросил Украину и народ во время войны, как сделал это Янукович. Зеленский, его команда и наш народ делают всё возможное и невозможное для сохранения нашей страны.

2. Знаешь ли ты других политиков кроме Зеленского?

Знаю многих.

3. Какое будущее ты видишь для своей страны?

Хотелось бы чтобы территории Украины вернулись в полном составе, так как это было признано международным правом.

4. Что ты думаешь о законе про украинский язык?

Я поддерживаю этот закон, хотя в нашей стране люди общаются на разных языках, в том числе и на русском, но я ни разу не слышал информации о преследовании или конфликтах на этой почве.

5. Видишь ли ты как люди сменились после начала войны?

Наш народ очень сплотился, каждый старается помочь друг другу, война наложила отпечаток на всех, это бесконечные переживания и боль.

6. Что ты думаешь по поводу того, что российская армия похищает украинцев?

Это является ужасным преступлениям.

7. Что ты думаешь о том, что русские для любой страны говорят "в", но в случае с Украиной говорят "на"?

Я считаю что это очень не красиво по отношению к украинскому государству и людям которые там живут.

8. Что ты хочешь сказать японцам?

Хочу поблагодарить за поддержку нашей страны, пожелать мира, добра и процветания.

9. Что ты хочешь меня спросить?

Почему тебя так детально интересует ситуация в моей стране?

Надеюсь всё правильно понял


増田質問とBの英訳

•what do you think about zelenskii?

I belive Zelensky is the best president who did not abandon Ukraine and the people during the war, as Yanukovych did. Zelensky, his team and our people are doing everything possible and impossible.

•do you know other politicians except him?

I know many of them.

•how future is you predict, how future is you want (i mean politically and concretely)?

I would like the territories of Ukraine to return in full force, because this is what was recognized by international law.

•What do you think about ukranians language law?

I support this law. Despite the fact that in our country people communicate in different languages, including Russian, I have never heard information about persecution or conflicts on this basis.

•how DNR and LNR people life is?

skipped

did you see people which changed after starting this war?

Our people are very united, everyone is trying to help each other, the war left its mark on everyone in the form of endless experiences and pain.

•what do you think that Russian army kidnap ukranians?

This is a terrible crime.

•what do you think about that Russian language uses "в" for any country but "на" for yours?

I think this is very discourteous in relation to the Ukrainian state and the people who live there.

and anything you want to say to Japanese?

I want to thank you for the support of our country. I wish you peace, kindness and prosperity.

増 "Ah, turkestan ban Russian language?"

D "Not really "ban" but "limitation". This sounds more suitable in this case. it is the natural phenomenon for the mononational states. And multinational, actually. Using the one language as official. To strengthen the statehood. Same thing with Ukraine. More separation from the "big brother". That is the point, I guess.

By the way, they strengthened much more after these 8 years. I think it is too late to start an invasion now than these 8 years ago back then in any case. That does not mean that I support it, of course. You knew my point. We talked about it earlier. 🙂 I think that it is just "balls to the wall" (like the title from the one of Accept's albums). Recklessly in a word. It is naive to believe that they have stagnated all this time and have not developed or strengthened.

A*

1) Another Ukranian president that just had "the luck" to get the war. Looks funny and trustworthy. Though he sometimes lacks the experience.

2) Yes I do.

3) I predict OK future for Ukraine, bad future for Russia. Russia lost any trust and contacts that it made for over 30 years. Dark decades ahead. I want good future, with no wars and with everyone helping each other.

4) Ukrainian language law? Well, it's their country. Let them speak what they want to speak. Besides, most Ukrainians speak Russian, and they even have mostly Russian cities, like Khar'kiv. I saw no oppression of Russian.

5) DNR and LNR are basically buffer states for Russia like North Korea with the same amount of freedom. It's hell on earth.

6) Had no information about that, but I had info about killing civilians and looting their homes. It's horrible. Those soldiers are monsters and they do not represent Russia. I don't count themselves as my fellow Russians. They're monsters. Barbarians. Putin's orcs. Not Russians.

7) I say let us use whatever we want. I use "на Украину" simply because I spoke it like that over 20 years and it's the correct one.

8) I love Japan and its people. I wish we could achieve peace and could work together. Please don't think bad of Russian people, we don't support this war. We're the same victims, like Ukrainians. Victims of Putin and his police state.

ゼレンスキー演説@日本3/23は「ドラゴンボール演説」に

ゼレンスキー広報チームの役割は各国世論ウクライナ大正義モードにし、ウ国への全力支援を引き出すことである

一方ゼ広報チームの日本分析は以下のようだ。

1、日本人は日本固有のものを褒めそやかしてくれる外国人が大好き。すぐ好きになっちゃう。

2、北方領土シベリア抑留ポツダム宣言受諾後にも続けられた満州侵攻、ヒロシマナガサキ反核)、日露戦争話題が通じるのはtwitter右翼twitter左翼、つまりごく少数だけで本当のところ全年代が興味ない。

3、英国におけるチャーチル演説米国における真珠湾攻撃911のようなナラティブがもう日本にはないので戦意発揚プロパガンダネタがない

4、とはいえこれまでの各国演説どおり歴史をひくしかできない。「令和」を元に平安古典とかを持ってくる案もあったが、そんな古典に馴染んでいる日本人もやっぱりゼロ

5、平家物語とか方丈記とかは英国におけるシェイクスピアレベルでみんな知ってるぽいけど、逆にウクライナ人的にああいオリエンタル文学性はちゃん咀嚼ができないんでこっち系をネタにするのリスク高い

6、やばい、いいネタがない。このままだとスベりたおす

7、ていうかさ、冷静に考えれば日本をどうこうしたところでたいして役に立たないし、ウロ戦争において欧米は全く日本挙動に興味を持ってないし、日本演説にはチームのリソースは割かずに適当日本反戦反核意識を褒めて消化試合で済まして、やっぱ欧米向けプロパガンダがんばろ (いまここ)

ここでゼレンスキー広報チームのみなさんに朗報

ごく手軽に日本世論を完全にウクライナ一色に染めつつ(これはあん重要じゃない)、ごく手軽に欧米世論操作にも超高い効果もつ(これが重要もので、しか日本相手しか使えない大ネタがある。

日本欧米から注目されていない、つまり重要相手じゃない(そもそも欧米英米独仏以外に興味ないので日本演説することは欧米では全く報道されてない)からこそ新機軸をぶっ込んでも許される。変化球投げても許される。

それが「ドラゴンボール演説である

前半は適当普通反戦反核メッセージでいい。

締めにこれを入れればいい。

「WE Ukraine need your ''GENKI''.

We ask you JAPANESE people all that,

NIPPON NO MINNA, ORA TACHI NI TCHOTTO DAKE GENKI WO WAKETE KURE.

Let's make "GENKI-DAMA" together.

Let's make peace together.」

これです。

でこの演説のあとに両腕を上げて見上げている元気玉ポーズのゼ大統領写真twitter他の公式アカウント投稿しましょう。

日本が全世代的にナラティブを持っていつつ海外に絶大な影響を持てているもの現実的には悲しいか漫画アニメだけで、

使いやすさ、浸透レベル、年齢層から鑑みるドラゴンボールが最強です。

snsシェア最強ネタだし、中国人にもインド人にもイスラエル人にも効きます

もちろん日本ニュースメディアワイドショーはまる一週間リピートしまくります

キャプテンウクライナミームとかはゼ広報チームも最初はノって後押ししてたけど流石に英雄崇拝アプローチ自分の首を締めかねない危ういものって自己評価更新してきたところ。

ここにきて"GENKI-DAMA"は一人の英雄ではなく連帯象徴というミーム修正になるし、両手を挙げた写真シェアするだけでウクライナ連帯表明になるっつってバエバである

広報チームにお節介ちょっとだけ言っておくと、

侵略者フリーザとか、平和を脅かす独裁者セルとか、そのあたりまで寄せてこようとしたらディティールをミスると逆に世界中OTAKU MONSTERに叩かれるので元気玉くらいでいいと思う。

切り抜きしやすサイズ大事

Video game war (NINTENDO war)からSNS war (DRAGON BALL war) へ。

広報チームの皆さんの幸運を祈る。

we tried to be friends with them after, but they had secret plan to conquer USSR while it's weak. it was cancelled"

友達 "then Cold War, a lot of hating each other. next time we tried to be friends in 90s. "Bush's chicken legs", helping each other"

友達 "USA's bombing of Yugoslavia made us enemies again. since then, we were not friends"

増田 "どうしてそれがロシア関係あるの?"

友達 "when that happened, Russian premier Primakov was on the flight to USA. there was gonna be a deal that could help Russia greatly. when Primakov heard about Yugoslavia, he asked his pilot to turn around, back to Moscow, and cancelled that deal. in Russia, it's known as "Primakov's turn" "

増田 "でもmagicという意味もある。超自然的で恐ろしくて強いものだ"

友達 "ok. and?"

増田 "日本語では魅力というけどこの"魅"は実は化け物のこと。

人間はこのcharmとか魅力とかいう恐ろしいもの支配されて生きている。

なんでアメリカ空爆ときロシア侵略とき世論全然違うのか? それはアメリカウクライナには魅力があるけどロシアやユーゴにはないからだよ。人間にはかわいくもかっこよくもない人々の命より好きな人ひとりのほうが大事なんだ"

友達 "for me, all people are the same. every life is equal. (注:ここでは彼は「生命尊い」とは言っていないが、普段の態度と前後文脈からそう思っているのが明らかなので勝手に足しておいた)

death of Yugoslavians person is as tragic as the death of American and other people"

増田 "●●さんはそうでもたいていの人はそうではないからね。だから仕方がないんだ。実のところ私も他人のこと言えないんだよ。だって私もシリア内戦とかクリミア侵略とか外国ニュースは気にしなかったのに、●●さんに出会たからってだけでウクライナ侵略ばかり気にしてるからその『西洋人たち』と同じなんだよ。だから、仕方がないと思う"

Why do Japanese people laugh when I'm talking about something serious?

It's one of the things I'm not used to in Japan, but I can't get used to being laughed at for something I said in earnest.

For example, when I tell them about the ALS patient I met in the U.S. who is living with a feeding tube in his stomach, or about my contact with people in juvenile detention centers, or about the fact that I saw them go through a lot of painful things like rape and abuse before they became monsters, I get a strange laugh.

I'm always annoyed by their incomprehensible reactions like "Ah... hahahaha...".

I get the same reaction when I talk about something serious about my family or my health (I'm speaking in Japanese, so it doesn't mean they don't understand what I'm saying).

Totally... what is this laughter?

Daily in English

I recently go to the streaming on Reality.

Probably some one knows the app that everybody get the body of 2D and do the streaming easily.

In that world, someone act a anime character, someone sing a song, someone chat with listener… etc

I was visited hers streaming and that main topic was chatting of hers life.

It's no especial, no comical, and so general, but she has good opinion, it is difficult to explain, but it has a Reality.

I don't have the feeling of love for her, but I am respecting her.

Today, we were talking long time and the topic was moved to the culture(教養).

I searched "教養" in English at first time after hers streaming, I haven't known that meaning.

I didn't graduate the university then I don't have a school career, but she said "you have the culture(教養)".

I am not sure why she said that, I can use English a little than other Japanese people, or I can think reasons of other people.

Anyway, the topic was moved to culture.

However, I didn't know the 教養 in English. I assumed that culture has only ”文化” and if that word has other meanings, that is similar "文化".

I felt I touched "culture" in the real sense.

Maybe, all people better to think about opinion of other people beyond the scope of us opinion.

東京オリンピックの状況についてギリシャ人説明しないといけないの

共同研究しているギリシャ人先生からギリシャでされている東京オリンピックに関する報道について真偽を聞かれたので回答したい。

全然ニュースみてないので、わかんないんだけど、大体こんな感じでいい?

[質問1] オリンピックを中止を求めるデモやってるらしいけど、まじ?オリンピックは無観客で、しか選手選手村に隔離されてるじゃん!実際にパンデミックも起こってないし、デモする意味わからんけども・・・

[自分の回答] 今オリンピック中止のデモやってる奴らは、極々少数で、400人とか。無視できるレベル。こういう連中はデモをするのが仕事または趣味で、年中なんらかのデモをやってる。普通人間オリンピックを中止すべきと思っておらず、好意的に受け止めてるよ。

[質問2] 今日本で完全にワクチン接種が済んでいる人が全人口の7%ってまじ?wオリンピックが行われるのがわかっていたのに、何でこんなに接種率が低いの?wオリンピックに向けて普通はバシバシ打つもんじゃないの?意味わからんでしょw

[自分の回答] 7/23時点では、2回の接種が完了した人が全人口23%で、1回以上の人は35%やで。まぁ全体から言ったら全然すくないけども。日本他国に比べて接種が遅れてるんやで。ワクチン国内での治験日本向けにローカライズして独自にやったから、承認時間がかかって、結果として接種も遅れてるんやで~。日本は65歳以上が世界一多くて、それらの人が政治的な基盤を形成してる。そういうわけで、めちゃくちゃ保守的な国だから、遅れてるのはしゃーないやで。

[質問3] 東京での感染者が1300人/日でてて、日本政府には"激震"が走ってるらしいけども、まじ?アテネ人口東京の1/3だけど、同じくらい感染者数でてるよ?大騒ぎすることなの?

[自分の回答] 激震なんて走っとらん!w以下は俺の個人的意見だけども:政府関係者は1300人程度なら想定の範囲内だとおもうで~おそらく2500人とか3000人程度までなら想定内じゃないかな?これが東京だけで感染者数が10,000人/日とかいくようになると、ロックダウンとかやるかもな~。ちな日本は未だに強制力のある移動制限とかはしたことないよ!8月のなかば日本ホリデーシーズンがあって、そこでみんな故郷に帰ったりするから感染拡大する見込み。本番はオリンピックというよりお盆終わりの9月からや!コロナ先生次回作にご期待ください!

問い合わせ原文

Dear Prof. Masuda,

This email may come as a surprise to you, as it is irrelevant to research or fellowships. In Greece we try to understand the situation with the Olympic games in Tokyo and the pandemic, but the reports on Greek media is fuzzy. Once my colleagues found out that I have some communication with a Professor in Tokyo, they asked me if I could possibly contact you and ask you what exactly is the situation there. So, with all the respect to your valuable time, whenever you have some spare time, could you please inform me about the following points that our journalists reporting from Tokyo only confuse us further?

Is it true that people organize demonstrations in the streets to stop the Olympic Games, because they are afraid that the games will spread the coronavirus in Japan? We do not understand this, as the games are held with no spectators (unfortunately) and the athletes are isolated in the Olympic Village, anyway (even with no pandemic).

Is it true that only 7% of the overall population in Japan is vaccinated against the Coronavirus? If yes, how is this possible, knowing that the Olympic Games are going to be held there ?

Today, they said on the news that 1300 new infections have been reported in Tokyo and that caused some "vibrations" to the government. Is this number significant for the Japanese people? In Athens alone (that is only 5 million people, 3 times less than Tokyo) we count that many infections every day for the past month.

As you can see, everything that is reported from Tokyo is unclear and contradicting: demonstrations for the cancellation of the Games due to the pandemic, vaccination level, infection rate. Today I heard on out national radio straight from the head of our Olympic Team that everything is calm and under absolute control in the Games. So could you please shed some light to all this, please? Again, if you are busy I will understand if you do not reply, as this is just curiosity and not urgent at all.

以下増田の解答:

[Your question1]

Is it true that people organize demonstrations in the streets to stop the Olympic Games, because they are afraid that the games will spread the coronavirus in Japan? We do not understand this, as the games are held with no spectators (unfortunately) and the athletes are isolated in the Olympic Village, anyway (even with no pandemic).

[My opinion]

The people who is engaging the demonstrations are very few such as 400 and they could be ignored. These people always participate in the demonstrations as a work or just enjoying their free time. They don't have any political ideology. General people is enjoying the Olympic Games as usual on TV.

[Your question2]

Is it true that only 7% of the overall population in Japan is vaccinated against the Coronavirus? If yes, how is this possible, knowing that the Olympic Games are going to be held there ?

[My opinion]

As of July 23, 23% of the population had received two doses of the vaccine, and 35% had received at least once. Japan is behind other countries in terms of vaccination. Japan government took a long time to approve the vaccine produced outside of Japan, and as a result, the vaccination has been delayed. Japan has the largest rate of people over 65 in the world; about 30% is over 65 years old. These people form the political base of the country, so it's no wonder it's so conservative.

[Your question3]

Today, they said on the news that 1300 new infections have been reported in Tokyo and that caused some "vibrations" to the government. Is this number significant for the Japanese people? In Athens alone (that is only 5 million people, 3 times less than Tokyo) we count that many infections every day for the past month.

[My opinion]

The following is my personal opinion: I think 1,300 new infections in Tokyo in a day is not big deal for the government. Maybe 2,500 or 3,000 is still within the expectation. If the new infections in Tokyo become over massive amount such as 10,000/day, we might need to go into a lock-down. Japan has yet to impose any enforceable movement restrictions. Japan has a holiday week in mid-August, and people go back to their hometowns, so the infection is expected to spread.

Some Japanese people who don’t use English in their daily life tend to think that one can easily improve their language skills once they live abroad. Simply that’s not true. It takes decades to be good at foreign languages even if you live in the country where the language is standard.

Korean propaganda is always made out of fabrication and lies.

In fact, there’ve been a series of violent incidents, such as the Kansai ready-mixed concrete incident,

in which Japanese people are threatened and killed They have something in common with BLM and ANTIFA.

七転び八起きって言うけど、7回ころんだら起き上がる回数も7回であって8回ではない。

人一倍って言うけど、人と比べて一倍なら同じで人並みってことになっちゃうじゃん。

Why? Japanese people!
