Japanese language is so complicated. Even though I am Japanese, it’s difficult to explain a meaning. But it’s interesting!

Hi! I love the definitions and explanations found here. I wrote a post on fujoshi culture lately and probably quoted as dozen terms from your site here:

Hi, thanks for coming and quoting my blog!
I think this is the third time my post on fujoshi got quoted. I am happy my blog could help people understand the fujoshi culture.
Visit anytime, and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hello!
(Google never ceases to amaze me. I can’t even remember what keywords I searched for…
I’ve read… let’s see… about 4 or 5 articles and I think I can say now that I’ll really like this site, partly because it helps me improve my Japanese *and* my English, but mostly because it’s so much fun. Thank you very much for writing it!

Konichi wa :o)
First of all, I want to apologize, because this message won’t be a comment, but rather a seek for help. I could not find an email addresse on the website, so I said to myself, why not try it this way…;o) “Sumi-massen”, it won’t happen again.
My name is Dirk, I live in Brussels, Europe, and I am doing a research to get my degree in psychological studies. I am in my last year at the “Université Libre de Bruxelles” ( U.L.B.). My research is about the look we people bring upon Japanese animation, depending on the culture we live in.
To be able to do this study, I will need the help of people and anime sites out of Europe, so I can compare these populations. I am asking you here if it would be possible for me to add a link on your site, where people will be linked to a site (in English) were they will see an extract of a Japanese animation, and then they will be asked to respond to a questionnaire. Do you think this could be possible? If “yes”, how should this link look like (for instance, what size should it have?)
I already got like 140 European responses, but only like 8 Asian ones, which is close, but not quiet enough for a research…;o) I hope you can help me to improve this :o)
If you want to have a look at the website, the address is : http://www.toba.lu/memoire
Thank you in advance :o) For further information and responses, feel free to use my e-mail address, which you got above.
Sayonnara :o)

And you can sure add my blog on your list. but I don’t understand what you are asking well…sorry my English is not enough good to get your point. However you add my blog on your website is up to you.
Perhaps I can go to your site and answer the questionnaire. But I don’t think I can do more than that.
Regards,
bangin

Hope I will learn much japanese from your blog too

hi there! Konnichiwa! Hajimemashite, dozoo yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
(^^” can’t type in Japanese. sorry!)
It’s so cool to find a Japanese guy who is so good at English! I’m still struggling to learn Japanese here =D I think Japan is really unique and would love to learn more about your culture.
Really interesting posts you have here, it’s so fun to learn about the anime community in Japan, love how you guys always have cute slang to describe all sorts of things (e.g tsundere, moe)
Me and my friend are planning our first trip to Japan this year ^_^ Very excited! We like anime and manga too =) and are planning to see people cosplaying on Sunday at Akihabara (good day eh?) Love to visit maid and butler cafes ^^ Do you have any other interesting cafes to recommend?
bangin said,
April 14, 2008 at 3:40 am
Sorry for the late response, I was away a bit. And welcome to my blog!
Let’s see…for example, there are some themed-maid cafes like imouto-kei, pocchari-kei, or dansou-kei. In imouto-kei, they shall address you onii-chan or onee-chan. Pocchari means chubby, and dansou means crossdressing.
I think I can let you know where exactly they are!

Bangin, your blog rocks! I am a huge fan, and have learned so much from your site. I hope you don’t mind if I post some things I’ve learned on my blog: http://jaredinnakano.wordpress.com/
I will, of course, attribute you as the source, while making clear that you are not responsible for anything I misunderstood. バンギン先生ありがとうございました!

I haven’t come back to this blog for a while and now I’ve seen some changes.
I’d like to contact you regarding adding terms to a certain online dictionary, and I’d need your input. I will email you sometime soon, please check back your email often.
Alternatively, you can email me directly to discuss this matter. Thank you for reading.

Dear Bangin-dono, can you add a RSS feed to your wonderful blog?
w said,
June 12, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I think all wordpress blogs hosted on the wordpress server can just be added at their url + /feed/, anyway even if it isn’t listed here I’ve been subscribing to it since it started using http://bangin.wordpress.com/feed/ (Google Reader also auto-detects multiple feeds if you input a website url)
Maybe putting an rss button will be more handy though, and it’s easy to do so I guess it’s not a bad idea anyway
(And if you’re asking why I’m here I subscribe to the comments feed at http://bangin.wordpress.com/comments/feed/ - repeat after me, I am not a stalker)

OMG, your comment got filtered by wordpress for some reason. WordPress sometimes does this. Thank you very much, you’re an angel!
