Short post today.
Since I’ve started to learn time and days now, I think I should try to format my blog posts with written dates (at least in the Japanese portion) to try to get in some more pratice. Miku clock can help me with time! lol
That’s all for now.

Katakana Kraziness /
カタカナ の トラブル
Hello.
Last week, I started to study Katakana. Some of the characters are very similar to its Hiragana version, which makes it very easy. Example is ’ka’, written in か (hiragana) and カ (katakana). Looks very similar in both written forms. It’s not a problem in determining the sound of the Katakana that way.
However, there are also some not-so-easy-to-decipher ones... Some Katakana look very similar to each other. I particularly, have a problem with ’so’ and ’n’.
’so’: ソ
’n’ : ン
What’s with that!? They look pratically identical! Can you tell the difference?
The only slight difference I see is that the dash on ン (n) is directed more towards the center of the stroke, and ソ (so) is facing downwards. It’s very hard for me to determine which is which when I try to read words in Katakana.
Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!
I must practice some more.
See you again,

せんしゅう カタカナ を べんきょう はじめたした。 いくつか の カタカナ と ひらがな は にて います。 「か」 と 「カ」 は ほぼ おなじ に みえます。 ひじょう に かんたん です。
しかし。。。 いくつか の カタカナ も たがい に ひじょう に るいじ に している。
わたし は 「ソ」 と 「ン」 の むずかしさ を もって います。
’so’: ソ
’n’ : ン
なんで ひじょう に にて いる か?! ほぼ ふたご です! いどう は なん です か?
あああああああ!!!!
たすけて ください。 ( TT ^ TT )
もっと べんきょう を します。
じゃあまた、 ね。

Meet Piko /
こちらはピコさんです
Generally, I don’t like Asian female pop singers very much... Particulary their high voices.(ie. Perfume, Morning Musume, Vocaloids) But maybe it’s not their voices and just the synthesizing?
Sometimes, high-pitched voices are cute, but after a while, it starts to get pretty annoying. My ears begin to bleed. (TT A TT)
I prefer softer and deeper vocals. Maybe that’s why I tend to like bands with male singers? Although, I’m also superficial enough to like a singer just by looks. ><;
The type of female voice I like leans toward the deep and sultry kind. Examples are Anna Tsuchiya and Chitose Hajime. However, I pretty much just prefer vocals that sound ’normal’... basically, the artist doesn’t sound like an anime character throughout.
I’m happy when I do discover a new female singer whose voice I like. When I first heard the ending song to ”Letter Bee: Reverse”, these were my thoughts:
”Ah, this is the type of female voice I like. This singer, she sounds very nice.”
Recently, I found the PV to the ending song, ”勿忘草.”
A second into the video, reaction:
”Wait. Male singer. Female voice.”
SHOCK. O_O;
