Authentic Japan in Gyakuten Saiban pt. 1

Those who played the Ace Attorney localization know that all the names authentic to Japan were either changed to common ones, or more or less explained by the characters watched movies/TV series and so on.

And what about the original Japanese version?

We encounter the decoration of a Japanese house in 2-2, when we visit the Kurain village. And what is noteworthy is that Naruhodō is well informed about such items and actively comments on each of them.

For starters, the curious name of one of the locations

同日 某時刻

綾里家・わたりろうか

Dōjitsu bō jikoku

Ayasato-ka watari rō ka

Same day, at a certain time

Ayasato family, Watarirōka

渡り廊下 (watarirōka) - passage

The word consists of the following kanji:

渡り (watari) - transit, ferry, cross

廊 (rō) - corridor, hall

下 (ka) - below, down, descend, low, inferior

I have an idea why the localization called this location "Winding Way", but I'm not a native speaker, so I can't be sure of the correctness of my conclusions. "Wind your way" fits the meaning quite well, but in my opinion, there was no point in reinventing the wheel and calling the "corridor" something else.

___________________________________________

灯ろうに、ししおどし。リッパな庭だなあ。

tōrō ni, shishi odoshi. Rippana niwada nā.

Tōrō lanterns and Shishiodoshi. What a nice garden.

････遊ぶには ちょっとせまいけど。

asobu ni wa chotto semaikedo.

... It's a little small to play in though.

でも、あの焼却炉が気になるなあ。

demo, ano shōkyakuro ga ki ni naru nā.

But I'm curious about that incinerator.

鹿威し (ししおどし) [shishiodoshi] - water-filled bamboo tube which clacks against a stone when emptied, device for scaring birds from gardens

___________________________________________

床の間。････ぼくにはどうも、 この空間のイミがわからない。

tokonoma. Boku ni wa dōmo, kono kūkan no imi ga wakaranai.

Tokonoma. ...I don't really understand the meaning of this space.

事務所にこんなものがあったら、 あっという間に物置だな。

jimusho ni kon'na mono ga attara, attoiumani monookida na.

If I had something like this in my office, it would just turn into a storage room.

しかしここには、きれいな花とシャレた掛け軸がかざってある。

shikashi koko ni wa, kireinahana to shareta kakejiku ga kazatte aru.

But there are beautiful flowers and stylish hanging scrolls here.

Tokonoma is an alcove or niche in the wall of a traditional Japanese home, one of the 4 main components of the main room of a Japanese aristocratic house.

Tokonoma should contain only art objects, such as kakemono - a scroll with a painting or a calligraphically written saying, motto or poem. Also, a small flower arrangement (ikebana) is a common attribute.

Interesting fact: according to Japanese etiquette, the most important guest sits with his back to the tokonoma.

Now pay attention to where and how the futon is located, on which the guest in the beret slept (if she had sat down on the futon, she would have ended up with her back to the tokonoma). Here you have a "simple student studying the occult".

Well, the fact that Naruhodo sees no point in having such a space in the house and is ready to use it as a warehouse, completely ignoring its original purpose, tells us that for him it is considered a relic of the past and has no sacred meaning (even as an art object). He is a modern resident of modern Japan, where there is no place for such traditions.

___________________________________________

そういえば、障子を見るのもひさしぶりだな。

sō ieba, shōji o miru no mo hisashi-burida na.

Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I last saw a shoji screen.

___________________________________________

青あおとしたサカキが まつられている。

aoao to shita sakaki ga matsura rete iru.

A blue Sakaki tree is enshrined here.

Cleyera japonica (sakaki) is a flowering evergreen tree. It is considered sacred to Japanese Shintō faith, and is one of the classical offerings at Shintō shrines. In Shinto ritual offerings to the "gods; spirits" (神, kami), branches of sakaki are decorated with paper streamers (shide) to make tamagushi.

It turns out to be quite interesting - if a person is not familiar with these interior items, then not only will he not tell anything about them, but he will not even know what they are called. Naruhodo, whose childhood fell at the end of the 20th - beginning of the 21st century, could have learned about this only in a couple of cases:

1. He had been in a traditional Japanese house before, saw these items and was told about them by older relatives;

2. He independently studied old interior items (which is not surprising, because he studied art at the university).

This is also confirmed by his comment about shoji: "it's been a while since I last saw a shoji screen".

That is, he saw all this with his own eyes, but quite a long time ago.

Naruhodo is quite well educated in the culture of his own country, although some things have already lost their sacred meaning for him and are not used by him (and, possibly, his family) in everyday life.

Let's continue in the next part.

nuts reading trigun in japanese 5 - vash is. super good with kids

disclaimer: more triangulation purposes etc etc

so i mentioned before in my part 3 that the japanese language has an inbuilt hierarchy quirk to it. and i kind of noticed this nuance getting somewhat lost in the english translation, either because again i have skill issues with english, or that EN inherently doesnt come with the same quirk.

elaborating a bit more: this hierarchy of position/standing can be determined by age, profession, occupation, and experience. in terms of hard priority, age and profession tends to take precedence over everything else.

this means effectively, vash being over 150 should be top dog and given respect in JP/Asian context (respect your elders! or else!!), but because he 1) looks 24, 2) uses very immature speech with strangers, 3) uses boku, hes effectively keeping his head down and posing as a dumbass schmuck.

ヴァッシュの兄貴　行っちまうのか！？ Big bro Vash, you're leaving?! (兄貴 = aniki = big bro but informal and can be used for no blood relations)

so schmucky that he has no problems handling children. in fact, in the JP version during his departure on the sand steamer, the kids call him Big Bro Vash. twice! so he's earned their adoration in no time flat.

ヴァッシュの兄貴—ッ Big Bro Vash!!

leaving the translation like that ^ wouldnt flow well in english, so rip. also. cute scene.

and yet his meeting with Kaite is chaotically bad to say the least. i mean, he even gets drugged and knocked out. Kaite does not respect the guy who gave him food at all and plans to seemingly feed him 3 meals a day for the entire trip. so how? well.

once Brilliant Dynamites Neon comes in and turns things serious, Vash's starts doing a few interesting things.

skipping forward this and that. after getting almost blown off the sand steamer, vash holds onto kaite and they both cling on for dear life:

もうちょっと登れば通風口があるよ mou chotto noboreba tsuufucou ga aru yo If we can climb a little higher there's a ventilation duct そーか　そーか　今行こうすぐ行こう souka souka ima ikou sugu ikou Okay, okay, let's get going right now!

added romanji and color to highlight how vash is repeating phrases in his line. the そーか　そーか souka souka and 行こう 行こう ikou ikou repeats are there as if to 1) make himself sound immature, and 2) to reassure kaite that things are under control.

only touching on the bottom right panel. another possible reading of that line:

���けて頂いてありがとうございましただろう Situations like these are where you should say "thank you very much for saving my life" instead!

はいそーでした!!!

Now say it!!!

he's chiding kaite and doing the very asian adult thing of teaching the youngin manners in terms of tone. but in a stern funny way no offense taken way bc, as you might have noticed...

vash is deliberately putting himself on the same level as a kid. in tone in standing in speech. hes not being condescending. hes not lording his status as an adult over a child. (something something christ like but in the context of jp... hehe.)

this is ultimately what gets tough nut kaite to trust vash to get down to business to defeat The Neon. even without the words hes visually getting himself to be on the same (eye) level with kaite. i think its so good alsdjfdsa

kaite starts crying after thinking of his dad and regretting what he's done, gets caught in a regret reflection loop, but vash brings him back to reality. like this:

な に を 感 傷に ひ た って る か な こい つ は

another reading of this "What the hell are getting all sentimental for now ya brat?!" line might be "What. Good. Is. It. To. Lose. Your. Grip. On. Yourself. Now. You. Dummy?!"

with this he puts kaite's head back into reality and readjusts both their priority.

so again. vash just. is good with kids. his emotional intelligence is through the fucking roof as proven by all the other moments throughout tristamp and trimax*

idk its warms me bc. the asian confucius hierarchy is so... yuck. im technically of chinese descent so i know how fucked it is. so. vash is really cool with this slightly extra japanese asian hierarchy context.

i think this aspect of vash is something i dont see in english fanworks a lot, and not in the same tone. on the other hand, i do see this a lot in the jp fanworks. so idk exactly what factors or if im looking in the wrong places, but yeah. vash is good with kids. just like wolfwood.

again, studio orange understood the assignment and gave some of that dynamic here to Tonnis.

are they called studio orange bc im meant to squeeze stampede for all its worth or what. stampede is actually incredible to me im in awe.

bonus:

the jp version of the left text says roughly:

"I'm cursed!! I must be! By either the reaper or a god of misfortune and or more!!"

yeah he specifically says Shinigami and Binbougami. i dont think that would translate well in en bc this kinda throws the catholicsm theme into a bit of a tailspin LMAO. (also. the Ore here. note the context.)

Maomao no Hitorigoto, Special Episode: Investigate the USJ -First Half- / 猫猫のひとりごと特別編　『～USJを調査せよ～前編（ユーエスジェイをちょうさせよ・ぜんぺん/Yū-esu-jei’o chosa-seyo, zen-pen）

You can watch the video on YouTube, uploaded by the official Toho Animation account.　→ Link to the YouTube video

Please note that the English lines are just my translation.

猫猫(マオマオ)「壬氏様(ジンシさま)…お呼(よ)びでしょうか？」

Maomao “Jinshi-sama… Oyobi-desho-ka?”

Maomao “Master Jinshi, did you call for me?”

壬氏「ああ、猫猫！面白(おもしろ)い任務(にんむ)が回(まわ)ってきてな。お前(まえ)にも調査(ちょうさ)を頼(たの)みたい」

Jinshi “Aa, Maomao! Omoshiroi ninmu’ga mawatte-kite-na. Omae’nimo chosa’o tanomi-tai.”

Maomao “Oh, Maomao! An interesting mission has come my way. I’d like you to investigate it.”

猫猫（げ…これはまた、面倒(めんどう)な匂(にお)いがする…）

Maomao (Ge… Kore’wa mata, mendo-na nioi’ga suru…)

Maomao (Ugh… This smells troublesome again…)

壬氏「そう嫌(いや)そうな顔(かお)をするな。たまには私(わたし)も傷(きず)つくぞ」

Jinshi “So iya-sona kao’o suru-na. Tama’niwa watashi’mo kizu-tsuku-zo.”

Jinshi “Don’t make that displeased face. Sometimes it hurts me.”

猫猫「仕事(しごと)とあらば、私(わたし)に拒否権(きょひけん)はございません。で、一体(いったい)何(なん)の調査(ちょうさ)でしょうか？」

Maomao “Shigoto-to-araba, watashi’ni kyohi-ken’wa gozai-masen. De, ittai nan’no chosa-desho-ka?”

Maomao “If it’s work, I have no right to refuse. So, what exactly is this investigation about?”

壬氏「フフ…じゃ、早速(さっそく)…ついて来(こ)い！USJに！」

Jinshi “Fufu… Ja, sassoku… Tsuite-koi! Yū-esu-jei’ni!”

Jinshi “Well then, immediately… follow me! To USJ!”

早速（さっそく/Sassoku）: right away, immediately

猫猫「USJ…？今(いま)から！？ちょっと！あ、壬氏様(ジンシさま)！お待(ま)ちください！」

Maomao “Yū-esu-jei? Ima’kara? Chotto! A, Jinshi-sama! Omachi-kudasai!”

Maomao “USJ…? Right now?! Wait a second! Oh, Master Jinshi! Please wait!”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「ここがUSJか…。とても賑(にぎ)わっているなぁ。それに、華(はな)やかだ」

Jinshi “Koko’ga Yū-esu-jei-ka… Totemo nigiwatte-iru-naa. Sore’ni, hanayaka-da.”

Jinshi “So this is USJ… It’s so lively and glamorous.”

猫猫（突然(とつぜん)連(つ)れて来(き)て、何(なに)をのんきなことを言(い)ってるんだ…）

Maomao (Totsuzen tsurete-kite, nani’o nonki-na koto’o itte-runda…)

Maomao (What is he talking about so carefreely, bringing me here all of a sudden…?)

のんきな（呑気な・暢気な/Nonki-na）: carefree, easy-going

猫猫「皆(みな)さん、まっすぐあちらへ向(む)かっていきますね……ん！？あの大(おお)きな球体(きゅうたい)は一体(いったい)何(なん)でしょう！？ささささささ…」

Maomao “Mina-san massugu achira’e mukatte-iki-masu-ne……N!? Ano ookina kyu-tai’wa ittai nan-desho!? Sasasasasasa…”

Maomao “Everyone is heading straight over there. …Hmm?! What on earth is that big sphere?!” (Walking away in a hurry)

壬氏「おい待(ま)て、勝手(かって)に動(うご)くな！あぁ…」

Jinshi “Oi mate, katte-ni ugoku-na! Aa…”

Jinshi “Hey, wait, don’t move around as you like! Ah…”

勝手に（かってに/Katte-ni）: without permission, on one’s own, at one’s discretion, without asking

This word means “arbitrarily”, but we use it so often, and whether the negative meaning is strong or not depends on the context. In this case, Jinshi is not threatening Maomao and he just wants to see around together, so I translated it into “as you like.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「この球体(きゅうたい)は、地球儀(ちきゅうぎ)というらしい。USJの記念碑(きねんひ)のようなものだ」

Jinshi “Kono kyu-tai’wa, chikyu-gi-to iu-rashii. Yū-esu-jei’no kinen-hi’no-yona mono-da.”

Jinshi “This sphere is apparently called a terrestrial globe. It’s like a monument at USJ.”

猫猫「なるほど。だから皆(みな)さん、ここを目指(めざ)していたのですねぇ。あの中(なか)も色々(いろいろ)とありそうですね…。植生(しょくせい)も見(み)たいので、早(はや)く行(い)きましょう、壬氏様(ジンシさま)！」

Maomao “Naru-hodo. Dakara mina-san, koko’o mezashite-ita-no-desu-nee. Ano naka’mo iro-iro-to ari-so-desu-ne… Shoku-sei’mo mitai-node, hayaku iki-masho, Jinshi-sama!”

Maomao “I see. So that’ why everyone was heading here. There seems to be a lot to see inside over there… I want to see the vegetation as well, so let’s hurry up, Master Jinshi!”

壬氏「お前(まえ)、さっきまで乗(の)り気(き)ではなかったのに…現金(げんきん)な奴(やつ)だ。いいか？USJ訪問(ほうもん)は、あくまでも任務(にんむ)のためだからな。植生(しょくせい)の調査(ちょうさ)は、終(お)わった後(あと)にしてくれ」

Jinshi “Omae, sakki’made nori-ki’dewa nakatta-noni… Genkin-na yatsu-da. Ii-ka? Yū-esu-jei-homon’wa, aku-made’mo ninmu’no tame-dakara-na. Shoku-sei’no chosa’wa, owatta-ato’ni shite-kure.”

Jinshi “You didn’t seem keen on it earlier… what a self-serving person. Listen, our visit to USJ is purely for our mission, so please do your research on the vegetation after that.”

現金な（げんきんな/Genkin-na）: calculating, self-serving, mercenary

This word is not used seriously and is used casually as a light-hearted joke. 現金 means “cash,” but the meaning of 現金な includes not only money but all other interests and desires.

猫猫「失礼(しつれい)しました、つい…。ところで壬氏様(ジンシさま)、今回(こんかい)の任務(にんむ)とは、一体(いったい)何(なん)なのでしょうか？」

Maomao “Shitsu-rei shima-shita, tsui… Tokorode Jinshi-sama, konkai’no ninmu-towa, ittai nan-nano-desho-ka?”

Maomao “Excuse me, I just couldn’t help… By the way, Master Jinshi, what exactly is the mission this time?”

つい（Tsui）: unintentionally, just, I didn’t mean, I couldn’t help but

壬氏「龍珠散薬(りゅうずさんやく)という薬(くすり)を聞(き)いたことがあるか？最近(さいきん)巷(ちまた)で噂(うわさ)になっている、どんな病(やまい)にも効(き)くという万能薬(ばんのうやく)で、確(たし)かに効果(こうか)も高(たか)いようなんだが…どうやら、中毒症状(ちゅうどくしょうじょう)を起(お)こしている者(もの)も出(で)ているらしくてな」

Jinshi “Ryu-zu-san-yaku-to-iu kusuri’o kiita-koto’ga aru-ka? Saikin chimata’de uwasa’ni natte-iru, donna yamai’nimo kiku-to-iu ban’no-yaku-de, tashika-ni koka’mo takai-yo-nan-daga… Do-yara, chu-doku-shojo’o okoshite-iru-mono’mo dete-iru-rashikute-na.”

Jinshi “Have you ever heard of a medicine called Ryuzu-san’yaku? It’s been talked about on the streets lately as a panacea that can cure any illness, and it certainly seems to be highly effective… but it seems that some people are becoming poisoned by it.”

巷で噂になる（ちまたでうわさになる/Chimata’de uwasa-ni naru）: It’s the word on the street

猫猫「薬(くすり)自体(じたい)については噂(うわさ)程度(ていど)で聞(き)きましたが、中毒症状(ちゅうどくしょうじょう)は初耳(はつみみ)ですね…」

Maomao “Kusuri-jitai’ni tsuite’wa uwasa-teido’de kiki-mashita-ga, chudoku-shojo’wa hatsu-mimi desune…”

Maomao “I’ve heard rumors about the medicine itself, but this is the first time I’ve heard about the poisoning symptoms…”

壬氏「これ以上(いじょう)被害(ひがい)が出(で)る前(まえ)に、謎(なぞ)を解(と)き明(あ)かしてもらいたい」

Jinsh “Kore-ijo higai’ga deru-mae’ni, nazo’o toki-akashite-morai-tai.”

Jinshi “I want you to solve the mystery before any more damage is done.”

猫猫「龍珠散薬(りゅうずさんやく)か～！一体(いったい)何(なに)を使(つか)ってるんだろうなぁ！？ウフ、ウフフフフフ…！」

Maomao “Ryu-zu-san-yaku-kaaa! …Ittai nani’o tsukatte-rundaro-naa! Ufu, ufufufufu…”

Maomao “Ryuzu-san’yaku, huh? I wonder what on earth it’s made from!? Hehe, hehehehehe…”

何(なに)を使(つか)ってるんだろう…何(なに)を使(つか)って（作(つく)られて）るんだろう: I wonder what it is made from.

壬氏「薬(くすり)のこととなると楽(たの)しそうだな…」

Jinshi “Kusuri’no koto-to-naru-to tanoshi-so-dana…”

Jinshi “When it comes to medicine, you look so happy…”

猫猫（とは言(い)え、こいつの面倒(めんどう)ごとに巻(ま)き込(こ)まれるのは腹立(はらだ)たしい！）

Maomao (Towa-ie, koitsu’no mendo-goto’ni maki-komareru-nowa hara-data-shii!)

Maomao (That said, it’s annoying to be dragged into his troubles!)

壬氏「嬉(うれ)しさと面倒(めんどう)くささが混(ま)ざった複雑(ふくざつ)な表情(ひょうじょう)になっているぞ…そ、そうだ！仕事(しごと)次第(しだい)では、何(なに)か褒美(ほうび)をやろう」

Jinshi “Ureshisa’to mendo-kusasa’ga mazatta fuku-zatsu-na hyo-jo’ni natte-iru-zo… So, So-da! Shigoto-shidai’dewa, nani-ka hobi’o yaro.”

Jinshi “Your expression is a mixture of happiness and annoyance… T-That’s right! Depending on your work, I’ll give you a reward.”

猫猫「褒美(ほうび)！？さぁ壬氏様(ジンシさま)！早(はや)く調査(ちょうさ)を始(はじ)めましょう！何(なに)から始(はじ)めますか？」

Maomao “Hobi!? Saa Jinshi-sama! Hayaku chosa’o hajime-masho! Nani’kara hajime-masu-ka?”

Maomao “A reward?! Come on, Master Jinshi! Let’s start our investigation quickly! Where shall we start?”

壬氏「やる気(き)になったようで何(なに)よりだ…。少(すこ)し集合(しゅうごう)時間(じかん)より早(はや)く着(つ)いてしまったので、まずは、私(わたし)と園内(えんない)を散歩(さんぽ)でも…」

Jinshi “Yaru-ki’ni natta-yode nani-yori-da… Sukoshi shugo-jikan-yori hayaku tsuite-shimatta-node, mazu’wa, watashi’to en’nai’o sanpo-demo…”

Jinshi “I’m glad that you’re motivated… We arrived a little earlier than the meeting time, so let’s take a walk around the park together first…”

猫猫「それでは壬氏様(ジンシさま)、早速(さっそく)参(まい)りましょう！」

Maomao “Sore-dewa Jinshi-sama, sassoku mairi-masho!”

Maomao “Well then, Master Jinshi, let’s get started right away!”

壬氏「お、��い、人(ひと)の話(はなし)を聞(き)け！」

Jinshi “O, Oi, hito’no hanashi’o kike!”

Jinshi “Hey, listen to what others are speaking!”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

壬氏「この村(むら)も賑(にぎ)わっているなぁ」

Jinshi “Kono mura’mo nigiwatte-iru-naa.”

Jinshi “This village is also bustling.”

賑わっている（にぎわっている/Nigiwatte-iru）: bustling, lively, crowded

猫猫「見(み)たことがない形(かたち)の建物(たてもの)や食(た)べ物(もの)がたくさん並(なら)んでますね。はっ、あれは！！」

Maomao “Mita-koto’ga nai katachi’no tate-mono’ya tabe-mono’ga takusan narande-masu-ne. Ha, are’wa!!”

Maomao “There are a lot of buildings and foods in shapes I’ve never seen before. Oh, what’s that?!”

壬氏「おーい！勝手(かって)に動(うご)くなと言(い)ってるだろ！って！何(なん)だあの巨大(きょだい)な魚(さかな)は！」

Jinshi “Oooi! Katte-ni ugoku-na-to itteru-daro! Tte! Nanda ano kyodai-na sakana’wa!”

Jinshi “Hey! I told you not to move around as you like! Oh, wait! What is that giant fish?!”

猫猫「壬氏様(ジンシさま)！サメです！サメ！」

Maomao “Jinshi-sama! Same-desu! Same!”

Maomao “Master Jinshi! It’s a shark! A shark!”

USJ has an attraction for the movie Jaws, and there is a photo spot where you can take a picture with a giant Jaws.

猫猫「ここで、猫猫の豆知識(まめちしき)。大型(おおがた)のサメは、“フカ”と呼(よ)ばれ、ヒレ部分(ぶぶん)を乾燥(かんそう)させたフカヒレは、高級(こうきゅう)食材(しょくざい)として扱(あつか)われる。軟骨(なんこつ)や肝油(かんゆ)は、美容(びよう)効果(こうか)や新陳代謝(しんちんたいしゃ)を活性化(かっせいか)するなど健康(けんこう)を補助(ほじょ)する食品(しょくひん)としても知(し)られている。肉(にく)は食(た)べられ、皮(かわ)は加工(かこう)され革製品(かわせいひん)として使(つか)われ、捨(す)てるところがない魚(さかな)とも言(い)われる。また、サメの種類(しゅるい)によっては人(ひと)を襲(おそ)うこともあり、古代(こだい)から恐(おそ)れられている。最大(さいだい)の弱点(じゃくてん)は、神経(しんけい)が多(おお)く集(あつ)まる鼻先(はなさき)」

Maomao “Here is bits of knowledge from Maomao. Large sharks are called “Fuka” and their dried fins are treated as a luxury food. Their cartilage and liver oil are known to have beauty benefits and stimulate the metabolism, providing health supplements. Their meat is edible and their skin is processed and used for leather products, so they are said to be a fish with nothing to throw away. Also, some species of sharks sometimes attack people, so they have been feared since ancient times. Their weakest point is the tip of their nose, where many of the nerves are concentrated.”

猫猫「サメの出(で)る港町(みなとまち)かぁ～！漁業(ぎょぎょう)が盛(さか)んなのかな～？行(い)ってみたいなぁ～！！」

壬氏「万一(まんいち)、またサメが出(で)たらどうする！？」

Jinshi “Man’ichi, mata same’ga detara do-suru?!”

Jinshi “What if another shark appears?!”

万一（まんいち/Man’ichi）: If

万一 is more formal than もし(Moshi: If) or is used in the possibility is lower.

猫猫「まあ、もう退治(たいじ)されたそうですし…」

Maomao “Maa, mo taiji-sareta-so-desu-shi…”

Maomao “Well, it seems they’re already exterminated…”

退治する（たいじする/Taiji-suru）: get rid of, exterminate, wipe out

壬氏「お前(まえ)のその危機意識(ききいしき)のなさは何(なん)なんだ…」

Jinshi “Omae’no sono kiki-ishiki’no nasa’wa nan-nan-da…”

Jinshi “What’s with your lack of awareness of the danger?”

猫猫「でも、こんなに大(おお)きいサメの軟骨(なんこつ)からなら、他(ほか)のサメよりも効能(こうのう)が高(たか)い薬(くすり)が作(つく)れるかもしれないですね～！ちょっと、あちらの方(かた)に話(はなし)を聞(き)いてきます！待(ま)ってろ～、私(わたし)の軟骨(なんこつ)～～！！」

Maomao “But, from the cartilage of such a big shark, we might be able to make a medicine that is more effective than from other sharks! I’m going to go and talk to them! Hold on, my precious cartilage!!”

私の軟骨: I don’t know “dear” works, and it can be other words like sweet, dear precious…etc. I just wanted to distinguish it from the cartilage inside Maomao’s body.

壬氏「猫猫！勝手(かって)に動(うご)くなと何回(なんかい)言(い)えば分(わ)かるんだ！！待(ま)て！」

Jinshi “Maomao! Katte-ni ugoku-na-to nan-kai ieba wakarunda!! Mate!”

Jinshi “Maomao! How many times do I have to tell you not to move around as you like?! Wait!”

猫猫「次回(じかい)、『～USJを調査(ちょうさ)せよ～後編(こうへん)』。地元(じもと)の薬師(くすし)たちと合流(ごうりゅう)し、万能(ばんのう)薬(やく)の謎(なぞ)に立(た)ち向(む)かう。乞(こ)うご期待(きたい)」

"In a crazy world, you can live more happily without having any ‘hope’."

- Hiro Sachiya (b. 1936 – d. April 7, 2022) was a Japanese buddhist scholar and a popular contemporary writer of Buddhism.

"The big lie of “making the world a better place”

The world has never been a ‘good place' for its inhabitants. Regardless of the era, the world is always a‘bad place'.

'The three realms are not at ease, they are still like a house on fire', says the Lotus Sutra. The three realms (Ref) are the worlds of greed, colour and colourlessness in which human beings reincarnate through repeated births and deaths. You could think of it as the world we live in.

The Lotus Sutra says that there is no security in this world, that it is full of anxiety, like a house engulfed in flames and burning. What is required now is to learn from this Lotus Sutra and recognise that the world is a house on fire. Politicians are trying to plant the wrong perception in the minds of the people with their nonsense. Thus we must not fall for such tricks to deceive people and must first face up to the fact that the world is always a house on fire.

That is to clarify, therefore to give up.

And you have to take a hard look at the state of the burning house in our time. People who work and have a decent income are all in debt hell. That is the state of a house on fire today.

“Let's admit that the world is on fire. If we live in an age of debt, which is on fire, then don't we need to make more efforts to extinguish the flames?” There are probably people who think this way. However, Buddhism strictly warns against the short-sighted idea that if a fire is raging, it is natural to put it out.

“Get out of the burning house immediately.”

In other words, Buddhism teaches that one should not stay in a house on fire to extinguish it. It teaches that you should leave the fire immediately. 

To think "let's make the world a better place" or "let's get rid of debt hell" is, on the contrary, to be attached to this rotten world. The modern way of reading this phrase is, “Don't do that, just leave the world as it is.”

Banks are surviving comfortably, while individuals are exhausted with debt. Look at this current situation. If you stay in the fire forever, the harder you try, the worse the situation gets.

When I say 'don't work hard, don't work hard', some people argue that they bought the flat for their family and cannot afford not to work hard to pay back the loan. The conversation ends there when I say, "Then why don't you just not buy a flat?"

If you remember the basics of living within your income, you don't have to work hard and you won't be taken in by the burning house called the world. The landscape of our times is that everyone has forgotten these basics and as a result is groaning.

“狂った世界では「希望」など持たない方が楽しく生きられる。”

― ひろさちや (1936年 7月27日 - 2022年 4月7日) は、日本の仏教思想家。多数の一般向けの解説書を執筆。

「世の中をよくする」という大ウソ

世の中が、そこに住む人たちにとって「良いもの」であったためしは無い。時代を問わず、世の中というのはいつも「悪いもの」なのだ。

「三界は安きことなし、なお火宅のごとし」と法華経の中には書かれている。三界（参照）というのは、人間が生死を繰り返しながら輪廻する三つの世界（欲界、色界、無色界）のことだが、まぁ、わたしたちが生きている世界と考えればいいだろう。

その世界には安心などなく、炎に包まれ燃え盛る家のように不安に満ちている、と法華経はいうわけである。

いま求められているのは、この法華経に学び、世の中が火宅だという認識を持つことだ。政治家は能天気な御託を並べ、間違った認識を植えつけようとしているが、そんな手練手管に乗ることなく、いつの時代も世の中は火宅だということを、まず正視しなければならない。

それは明らめることだ。

[註: 仏教の世界では「諦める」を「明らめる」と書く。つまり、あきらめるとは断念するということではなく、事実をはっきり見ることであり、現実を直視し、それをありのままに受け入れるという意味にほかならない。]

そして、この時代の火宅のありようをしっかり見極めることだ。きちんと働いて収入のある人がこぞって借金地獄にいる。それが現代の火宅である。

「世の中が火宅であることは認めましょう。いまが借金時代という火宅の時代ならば、その業火を消すべく努力を重ねる必要があるのでは？」そう考える人はいるだろう。しかし、火が燃え盛っているなら消火活動をするのが当然だ、という短絡思考は、仏教が厳に戒めるところである。

速やかに火宅を出よ。

すなわち仏教では、火宅にとどまって消火活動などするな。すぐさま火宅から出てしまえ、と教えているわけだ。

「世の中をよくしよう」「借金地獄を無くそう」などと考えることは、逆にこのロクでもない世の中に執着することになる。「そんなことはせず、世の中なんてものはうっちゃっておけばいい」というのが、この文言の現代流の読み取り方なのだ。

銀行はぬくぬくと生き残り、個人は借金でヘトヘトになっている。この現状を見てください。いつまでも火宅の中にいたら、頑張れば頑張るほど、状況はますます悪くなるばかりなのだ。頑張って収入が上がったとしても、もっと高い買い物をローンでしたら、高い金利を払うことになる。

わたしが「頑張るな、頑張るな」と言うと、自分は家族のためにマンションを買ったから、ローンを返すためには頑張らないわけにはいかない、と反論する人がいる。「だったら、マンションなんて買わなければいいじゃないの」というと、会話はそこで終わる。

収入の範囲で生活する、という基本を忘れずにいたら、頑張る必要などないし、火宅に取り込まれることもない。誰もがその基本を忘れた結果、あえいでいるというのが、この時代の風景なのだろう。

📝Translation

Kai Sequel Idea Memo 3) The Peak of the Collected Self [The seat from which all things are born, the seat to which all things return. The seat of the origin, which has been expressed as "God" by various religions since ancient times. Omniscience resides there, and it is the very thing that many saints have tried to touch and approach while living in the "duplicate world" through "meditation" and other practices. It is what psychologist Jung calls the "collective unconscious," the "Akashic Records" that prophets access, and is also called "Hannya," the wisdom of the other shore in Buddhism. Time is also folded in, so everything from the beginning to the end of the universe is there. Knowing "the self" is "enlightenment" for humans, and has the same meaning as "clearing one's mind and seeing one's true nature" in Buddhism. There is a concept of depth that measures the distance from the world of reflection (in reality there is no such thing as distance, but it is referred to as such for convenience and clarity), and it is counted as the first karma, the second karma (ichigoume, nigoume). The more the number, the deeper one is sunk into karma, which would be like being deeply dead and in a more decentralized state in human terms (the normal state). When a person approaches death, they embark on a journey that slowly sinks them into the self.

🧠My Thoughts

So we finally get some much-needed context as what this realm of Shuuga (蒐我) is like. As a refresher, the previously published lore document says that the medicine seller's headquarters, called the Jyu-Yoku (じゅうよく) resides unevenly between the human world and this Shuuga in a state of perpetual non-existence and existence– Schrödinger's cat is a rather apt metaphor for it.

Based on my (rather sleep deprived) ramblings about the Asian philosophy of the universe which the hexagram paradigm resides in, I believe that Shuuga is part of the broader realm of Mukyoku (無極) which is the primordial zero which all of existence originates from.

From here, I form another hypothesis. Kusuriuri stated in the Umibozu arc that he fears is (according to fan subtitles) "the knowledge that the edge of this world exists without Form, Truth, or Regret." Whether that describes the Shuuga or Mukyoku, I believe this may be a reason why he may be reluctant to make trips to the Jyu-Yoku headquarters.

His journeys in the human world are always driven by the pursuit of knowledge to purify Mononoke from that realm. In a place like Shuuga, where all of existence and non existence and time coalesce into pure omniscience, his purpose for existing, and thus his physical form, would be utterly eradicated.

So he is very human in that he wants to keep his individuality and not become just one small drop in the collective unconsciousness and/or hivemind that I'm beginning to think the Jyu-Yoku "headquarters" is a manifestation of.

There are probably hundreds of other entities similar to medicine sellers residing there, but only the ones who earn the right to wield one of the 64 exorcism swords have the privilege of getting personhood and freedom to roam the mortal realm.

But even then, only a handful of these swords are "on duty" at a time depending on the state of the world. I bet becoming a wielder of one of the 8 the powerful trigram swords is a much coveted position, because they are the most likely weapons to be deployed into the human world, and thus the key to freedom from the Jyu-Yoku.

In the transformation sequences, we see Hyper and Kusu exist in a strange pocket dimension between the grounded human world and fantastical mononoke domain. Thus, I believe the key to entering and exiting the Jyu-Yoku's liminal space is the exorcism sword (though I imagine clever entities that know what to look for can become a stowaways/hitchhikers in the brief window of time when that gateway's opened).

Thus, the existence of all medicine sellers is rather contradictory. While they seek knowledge to eradicate mononoke from the world, their existence in the human realm simultaneously confirms that they are actively running away from an enlightenment which they can easily access should they return to Jyu-Yoku.

This level of enlightenment is embodied by the exorcism sword - how else can it know when to clank its teeth when a medicine seller correctly deduces a Form, Truth, or Regret?

Medicine sellers are the walking embodiments of the individual valuing their sense of self over the more efficient collective. Why else would you do something as impractical as picking off one mononoke at a time, when you can effectively exorcise the lot of them from Jyu-Yoku?

Let's consider this from a different perspective. In the Jyu-Yoku, I imagine it is all-too-easy to fall into the trap of looking at the "bigger picture" and let the "lesser" issues of insignificant individuals fall on the wayside.

Those who become medicine sellers feel compassion for the entities that fall below the notice of the Jyu-Yoku. Although there are much bigger forces at play in the universe, these "trivial" pockets of suffering, left unchecked, can grow into something much more dangerous: mononoke.

If the entire universe is represented by the human body, the Jyu-Yoku could be considered the immune system. It works with the intricate internal workings of the body which goes through the endless cycle of cell death and regeneration. In theory, it should be self-sustaining.

The medicine sellers, by comparison, are quite literally that: the peddlers of medicine that the body consumes or uses to expedite the healing of superficial injuries or illnesses that with time, the Jyu-Yoku could have eventually taken care of.

Or perhaps a better metaphor for the Medicine Seller is vaccines - they collect knowledge of the pathogens (the mononoke) which are rendered mostly inert (purification via exorcism sword) to train the body (Jyu-Yoku) how to better combat it. And like vaccination development in the real world, it's a never ending task ensuring that it is capable combating the evolving sicknesses of the world.

Anyways, thank you for attending yet another one of my Mononoke TED talks!

Sean bienvenidos japonitasarqueologicos, a un nuevo especial ya somos 2400 seguidores mil gracias por el apoyo y para agradeceros os traigo una de las leyendas más icónicas de Japón dicho esto pónganse cómodos que empezamos. - ¿Qué significa Sakura? Significa Cerezo en flor, seguramente os suene el nombre por algún que otro personaje de anime como: Sakura cazadora de cartas o en la película llamada comerme tu páncreas. - ¿Cómo surgió está leyenda? Todo comienza, en un Japón que está desolado por las guerras y horrores de los seres humanos, nuestro personaje se localiza en un bosque donde hay un árbol al cual no le florecían las flores, los animales ni la hierba por el mal que emanaba de él. - Un día un hada se compadeció de él y le concedió el poder de transformarse en hombre durante 20 años para poder encontrar el amor pero no fue así lo único que vio fue horror. Cuando le quedaba poco tiempo seguía sin florecer en lo que respecta como árbol y como humano. Un día en la orilla del río se deslumbró al ver a Sakura y se enamoró de ella. Llegó el día en el que se transformó en árbol y Sakura abrazó el árbol, le confesó su amor el hada tenía dos opciones adherirse al Yohiro o no pero viendo los horrores del mundo decide fusionarse con él. - Esta leyenda está ligada a una de las festividades más importantes de Japón que se llama Hanami durante una semana los japoneses contemplan la flor de Sakura en todo su esplendor. Esto fue un símbolo para los Kamikazes durante la 2ww y para los samuráis que lo consideraban con la sangre. - Espero que os haya gustado el especial y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones de Arqueología japonesa. Un cordial saludo. - 日本考古学へようこそ。フォロワー数が 2,400 人になりました。ご支援いただき、ありがとうございます。そうは言っても、安心して始めましょう。 - さくら とはどういう意味ですか?桜という意味です。カードハンターさくらや映画「君の膵臓をたべます」などのアニメのキャラクターでこの名前をよくご存じでしょう。 - この伝説はどのようにして生まれたのでしょうか？すべては、戦争と人間の恐怖によって荒廃した日本で、私たちのキャラクターは、そこから発せられる悪のために花、動物、草が咲かなかった木がある森にいます。 - ある日、彼を憐れんだ妖精が、愛を見つけるために20年間人間に変身する力を与えてくれましたが、そうではなく、彼が見たのは恐怖だけでした。 彼に残された時間がほとんどないとき、彼はまだ木としても人間としても成長していませんでした。ある日、彼は川岸で桜を見て幻惑し、恋に落ちました。彼が木に変身する日が来て、サクラは木に抱きつき、愛を告白しました。妖精には2つの選択肢がありました。ヨヒロに従うかどうか。しかし、世界の恐ろしさを見て、彼女は彼と融合することを決めました。 - この伝説は、花見と呼ばれる日本で最も重要なお祭りの 1 つと結びついており、日本人は 1 週間にわたってその素晴らしさを満喫する桜の花を鑑賞します。これは、第二次世界大戦中の特攻隊と、それを血をもって考えた武士たちの象徴でした。 - この特集を気に入っていただければ幸いです。今後の日本考古学の出版物でお会いしましょう。心のこもった挨拶。 - Welcome japonitasarqueologicos, to a new special we are already 2400 followers thank you very much for the support and to thank you I bring you one of the most iconic legends of Japan that said make yourselves comfortable we begin. - What does Sakura mean? It means Cherry Blossom, surely you know the name from some other anime character like: Sakura card hunter or in the movie called eat your pancreas. - How did this legend come about? It all begins, in a Japan that is devastated by wars and horrors of human beings, our character is located in a forest where there is a tree that did not bloom flowers, animals or grass because of the evil that emanated from it. - One day a fairy took pity on him and granted him the power to transform into a man for 20 years to be able to find love but it was not like that the only thing he saw was horror. When he had little time left, he still did not blossom as a tree or as a human. One day on the river bank he was dazzled by the sight of Sakura and fell in love with her. The day came when he transformed into a tree and Sakura hugged the tree, confessed her love to him, the fairy had two options to join Yohiro or not, but seeing the horrors of the world she decided to merge with him. - This legend is linked to one of the most important festivals in Japan called Hanami, during which the Japanese contemplate the Sakura flower in all its splendor for a week. This was a symbol for the Kamikazes during WWII and for the samurai who considered it to be blood. - I hope you liked the special and see you in future publications of Japanese Archaeology. Best regards.

Heath: Anything is fine. Ask for what you like. なんでもいい。 好きに頼んで。

Kongou: Really? What about you Mizuki? They have hamburgers too. そうか? ミズキはどうする? ハンバーガーもあるよ。

Mizuki: Okay, let's eat. There are a lot of different character menus. おう、食う。 つか、いろんなキャラのメニューあんだな。

Mizuki: Why not try the whole menu instead? どうせならメニュー全制覇しようぜ!

Rico: No thanks. I won't be able to finish it anyway. パス。 どうせ食べきれない。

Ran: This time it's a reconnaissance mission, so we can each order what we like. 今回は偵察やし、 それぞれ好きなもん頼めばいいやろ。

Mizuki: What's wrong, this is so boring. なんだよ、ノリわりーな。

Kongou: What should I do? A smoothie or a cream soda... Both are cute. 俺はどうしよう。スムージーか クリームソーダ･･････ どっちも可愛いな。

Hinata: You'll get lost! 迷っちゃうよね!

Ran: Wow, it's surprisingly fun. やー、意外と楽しめるもんやな。

Hinata: Yeah yeah! All the menu items were super cute. うんうん! どのメニューもめちゃ可愛いかった。

Kongou: I like the smoothies that matched the character's colors. キャラのカラーと合わせたスムージーが 俺は好きだったな。

Kongou: The character steamed buns were good too. キャラの肉まんもよかったけど。

Ran: Come to think of it, Mizuki seemed a little nervous when he was eating the steamed bun. そーいやミズキ、肉まんを食う時 若干キョドってたよな。

Mizuki: I wasn't nervous or anything! It just didn't look like food to me. 別にキョドってねーよ! 食いもんに見えなかっただけだ。

Hinata: I know, it's too cute to eat! わかる~、可愛すぎて食べられないやつ!

Rico: Of course I can't eat it, it's on the cafe menu. 食べられないわけないじゃん、 カフェメニューなんだからさ。

Rico: I'm done, so I'll go home first. 用終わったし、オレは先帰る。

Mizuki: What's with him? Of course he knows that. なんだあいつ。 そんなのわかってるに決まってるだろ。

Kongou: Fair enough. まあまあ。

Kongou: But it's cute and delicious... so even people who don't know the characters can enjoy it. でも、可愛いくておいしくて･･････ あれならキャラを知らない人も楽しめるよな。

Heath: It's true, I think it's cool to be so particular about sticking to being "cute." たしかに、「可愛い」を貫くために こだわりを持ってるのはかっこいいかな。

Heath: Well, I'll go now. じゃあ、オレもお先に。

Hinata: Ah, everyone is going home now. I wanted to see more shops. えー、みんなもう帰っちゃうの。 もっとお店見たかったのに。

Hinata: I've just started to like Sanrio characters, right? せっかくサンリオキャラのこと 好きになってきたところだし。ね?

Mizuki: Well, maybe it's worse than I thought. ま、思ったより悪くねーかもな。

Mizuki: When Haseyama first suggested a collaboration I thought it was crap. ハセヤマがコラボを言い出した時は クソだと思ったけどよ。

Ran: But we're in charge of the floor. What a shame. でも、オレらはフロア担当じゃん。 残念やなー。

Ran: It's more fun to go wild on stage! ステージで暴れたほうが楽しいのに!

Mizuki: It's just a matter of sharing the duties of entertaining on the dance floor. No one's telling me not to go on stage. フロアでもてなしするって分担なだけ。 ステージに出るなとは言われてねーよ。

Ran: Oh, what's this? Time for some mischief? In that case, would you go with me? お、なんや。悪巧みの時間か? そんなら付き合うけど?

Kongou: Hey, don't do anything unnecessary. おい、余計なことするなよ。

Mizuki: Hehe, you want to make the collaboration even more exciting, right Kongou? へへ、お前だってコラボ盛り上げたいだろ? 金剛!

Ran: The floor and the stage are all special! フロアもステージも、 全部盛りスペシャルや!

Hinata: What? Something interesting is happening? Exciting! なになに、面白いこと始まる? ワクワク!

Kongou: No, that's why it's not okay...sigh. いやだからダメだって･･････はぁ。

Common 4

Akira: Well then, let's liven things up a bit. そんじゃ、いっちょ盛り上げますかー。

Unei: We apologize for the long wait, everyone. みなさま、大変お待たせいたしました。

Unei: Before Team W's show, enjoy a surprise performance by Team B! チームWのショーの前に、チームBによる サプライズステージをどうぞお楽しみください!

Kokuyou: ...What's going on now? ･･････なんだ今の?

Takami: It looks like the announcement earlier was not wrong. さっきのアナウンス、 間違いじゃないみたいだね。

Taiga: A surprise stage? Wow, that's so B-like. サプライズステージすか。 いやー、Bらしいすわ。

Akira: I see, it's a standard number with a chorus that only a collaboration can create. なるほど、スタンダードナンバーに コラボならではのコーレスね〜。

Unei: Wow, the surprise was a huge success! やー、サプライズ大成功ですね!

Unei: Now when the main stars, Team W, appear on stage the stage will be perfect. これで真打ちのWみなさんが登場すれば ステージは完璧ですよ。

Kokuyou: It's not perfect. W hasn't been communicated to management. 完璧じゃねぇよ。 Wに話が通ってねぇぞ、運営。

Unei: Huh? えっ?

Unei: Mizuki told me that B will be livening up the show before W's show... ミズキさんからWのショーの前に Bが盛り上げるって聞いたんですけど･･････。

Kokuyou: I didn't hear anything though. Those naughty kids are running wild. 聞いてねぇけどな。 悪ガキどもが暴走しやがって。

Unei: Didn't you hear me?! Well then, should we stop the stage? 聞いてないんですか!? じゃ、じゃあステージ止めますか?

Kokuyou: Fine, let him. いい、やらせとけ。

Shin: The audience erupts in joy, and the performance is a success. 客は歓喜に湧き、ステージとしては成功だ。

Takami: It seems there have been no accidents. 事故もないようですしね。

Takami: ...But that doesn't mean it's okay, does it, Kokuyo? ･･････だからいいというわけでもない、 ということでしょう、黒曜。

Kokuyou: That's what happened. そういうこった。

Mizuki: It was so much fun! It was awesome. めちゃくちゃ盛り上がったー! サイコーだぜ。

Ran: Surprise success! サプライズ大成功!

Kokuyou: I've been waiting, you little brats. 待ってたぜ、クソガキども。

Mizuki: Hey, Kokuyou. B warmed up the hall. よぉ、黒曜。 Bがホールをあっためてやったぜ。

Mizuki: The audience was in a frenzy! 客席も大盛り上がりだ!

Kokuyou: Yes, thanks for setting things up. そうだな、お膳立てどうも。

Takami: But it should have been shared. けど、共有はすべきだったね。

Takami: Could it be that an accident occurred because you guys had proceeded on your own? 君たちが勝手に進めたことで、 事故があったかもしれないだろう?

Mizuki: There wasn't. なかっただろ。

Takami: As it turned out, we didn't know anything about it. 結果的にね。 でも、俺たちは何も知らなかった。

Takami: There was a chance that we would start performing at the same time. 同じタイミングでステージを 始めちゃう可能性もあったよ。

Hinata: Stages B and W starting at the same time? That's an accident! BとWのステージが同時に始まる? 事故じゃん!

Shin: Oh, and customers will be confused too. ああ、客も混乱するだろうな。

Ran: What's more, it's really lame. しかも、めっちゃダサい。

Mizuki: ...Is that so? ･･････そういうことかよ。

Kokuyou: Oh well, it's over. Come on, go ahead and spin the hole. ま、終わったことだ。 ほら、ホール回してこい。

Kokuyou: It's our job to entertain Sanrio characters. Don't slack off. サンリオキャラをもてなすのが俺たちの仕事だ。 手ェ抜くなよ。

Mizuki: I know. わかってるっての。

Kokuyou: From here on, it's the W show. Enjoy the real thing, from the hall. ここからはWのショーだ。 ���物を楽しめよ、ホールからな。

Mizuki: Let's see if you can do better than us. オレらよりやれるか、見ててやるぜ。

Hinata: I'm looking forward to the hall too! I wonder if I'll get to meet the ladies. ホールも楽しみ! おねーさんに会えるかな。

Kokuyou: Sorry, let me do it. 悪かったな、お前にやらせて。

Takami: No, I don't need you to tell me that. いや、君に言わせるまでもないことだから。

Kokuyou: Well then, shall we go? それじゃ、行くか。

Kokuyou: This is where the real action begins.

Common 5

Rico: Thank you for coming to see me, Kotori-chan. 小鳥ちゃん、会いに来てくれてありがと。

Kazami Saki: Hello Rico-san. That girl is My Melody! リコさん、こんにちは。 その子はマイメロディですよね!

Rico: That's right ♪ I'll be welcoming the cute girl together with Melody. 正解♪ 可愛い子を メロディと一緒にお出迎えだよ。

Hinata: Saki-san, what about me? Take a look! Sakiさん、オレは? 見てみて!

Kazami Saki: Fufu, it's so cute. The girls with Hinata-san are――― ふふ、すごく可愛いです。 ヒナタさんが一緒の子たちは――――

Hinata: It's Lloromannic. Do you know? Berry is a boy and Cherry is a girl–. ルロロマニックだよ。知ってる? 男のコのベリーと女のコのチェリー。

Kazami Saki: Paired with Hinata, they make a cute trio. ヒナタさんと組んで、可愛いトリオですね。

Hinata: Cute trio! Nice, that's good ♪ 可愛いトリオ! いいね、それもーらい♪

Kongou: Welcome, Saki-chan. やあ、いらっしゃい、Sakiちゃん。

Heath: Did you enjoy the surprise stage? If you enjoyed it, then that's good. サプライズステージは楽しんでくれた? アンタが喜んでくれたなら、いいんだけど。

Kazami Saki: It was a real surprise to see Team B on stage! まさかチームBのステージがあるなんて、 本当にサプライズでした!

Kazami Saki: The Sanrio character collaboration version of the stage was also fun. サンリオキャラコラボバージョンの ステージも楽しかったです。

Kazami Saki: Oh, you two are also with Sanrio characters. So cute! あ、2人もサンリオキャラと一緒なんですね。 可愛いです!

Kongou: Haha, Cinnamoroll is the cutest. はは、可愛いのはシナモロールだよ。

Heath: Apparently when they're collaborating, they take him with them when they go out onto the dance floor. コラボ中はフロアに出る時、 一緒に連れていくんだって。

Kazami Saki: Wow. Heath-san is with  Keroppi. I hope you can become good friends during this collaboration. へぇ。ヒースさんはけろっぴなんですね。 コラボの間に仲良くなれたらいいですね。

Heath: ……I agree. ………そうだね。

Kongou: Well, I'm off to greet the customers over there. See you, Saki-chan. さてと、向こうのお客にも挨拶してくるよ。 またね、Sakiちゃん。

Hinata: See you later! またあとでねー!

Kazami Saki: Thank you for reaching out to me. 声をかけてくれてありがとうございます。

Kazami Saki: (Everyone with stuffed toys is so cute...hehe) (ぬいぐるみを持ってるみなさん、 本当に可愛らしいな･･･････ふふっ)

Akira: Hello, Saki-chan. やっほー、Sakiちゃん。

Akira: Did you enjoy the W show? Wのショー、楽しんでくれた?

Kazami Saki: Thank you all for your hard work, it was so much fun! みなさん、お疲れさまです。 とっても楽しかったです!

Kazami Saki: I never thought that W and Sanrio characters would go together so well. まさかあんなにWとサンリオキャラが 合うと思っていなくて。

Taiga: I agree. At first I was wondering what would happen. 俺も同感すわ。 最初はどうなるもんかと思いきや。

Kazami Saki: It's a mix of cute and cool, and you'll likely become addicted to it. 可愛いとかっこいいが混じって、 やみつきになってしまいそうです。

Akira: It's interesting to hear W songs that are different from their usual songs. 普段のWとは違う楽曲を、 Wが歌うってのは面白いよなー。

Akira: I think last summer's superhero show had a similar feel. 去年の夏のヒーローショーも、 似たような感じだった気がする。

Taiga: Ah, that's an odd one. あー、あの変わり種すね。

Kazami Saki: But this was also a new experience for me. It was fun! でもこれもW! って感じで新鮮でしたよ。 楽しかったです!

Kokuyou: You know that, don't you? わかってるじゃねぇか。

Kokuyou: It would be rude to lose our individuality in order to entertain people who have come to collaborate. コラボに来てくれた相手をもてなすのに、 俺たちらしさをなくすのは逆に失礼だろ。

Kokuyou: Well, it was also great that they had the tolerance to accept whatever came their way. まあ、何と交わろうと受け入れちまう度量が 向こうにあったのもデカかったな。

Akira: I know. Singing was so much fun thanks to the Sanrio characters. わかる。サンリオキャラのおかげで 歌うのがめちゃ楽しかったもんなー。

Taiga: Oh, the older guys also noticed how amazing they were and were very noble... お~、にーさんたちも彼女たちの すごさに気づいて殊勝に･･････。

Kokuyou: I mean, if I get serious, there's no stage I can't achieve. つーか俺が本気になりゃ できねぇステージなんざねぇんだよ。

Akira: I can sing any song ♪ オレはどんな歌だって歌えるしねー♪

Taiga: It wasn't particularly special. 全然殊勝じゃなかった･･････。

Common 6

Akira: Ah, it's over.

Akira: Just now, at the final performance The girls were screaming and screaming.

Akira: Are you going to clean up all of this now?

Shin: Give up. The shadow on the glass will not go away.

Kongou: Ran, I'll put some cushioning material in the box, Can you put the stuffed animal in a plastic bag?

Kongou: If it rains, I can't let it get wet and dirty.

Ran: Oh, okay.

Taiga: It is packed with cushioning material and placed in a thick plastic bag to prevent it from getting wet.

Taiga: Much better treatment than we were. They offer everything you could possibly want.

Kongou: These are characters that are loved by a lot of people. It has to be returned in a good condition.

Taiga: No, that's not the place to be serious.

Ran: It's finally cleaned up. Somehow this view is nostalgic!

Kongou: But I'm a little sad. This collaboration was a lot of fun.

Kongou: It was a bit awkward for me to walk around the floor with a stuffed toy

Ran: Say something like that, The customers kept calling you "cute"

Kongou: Because it's for Cinnamoroll!

Akira: …

Shin: What's wrong?

Akira: When I returned to the usual Starless, I felt like what I had just been was incredibly far away.

Taiga: Well, that's what collaboration is all about.

Taiga: It's a special time, so to speak, when world lines that would never intersect under normal circumstances do intersect.

Ran: That's right. Putting me and Pochacco aside, Taiga and Kuromi don't seem to be getting along!

Taiga: There's no way you and Pochacco are together.

Shin: This is now packed.

Kongou: I'll ask the management to arrange for it to be picked up. Ran, please carry another cardboard box.

Ran: Okay, this is it.

Kongou: Well, when you're done cleaning. I have to start preparing for the next show.

Shin: Akira, Taiga, let's go. We are the entrance.

Taiga: I'm so busy. Just let me bask in the afterglow a little longer.

Shin: Don't tell the Starlight your secrets.

Akira: Ah, it feels like the usual Starless.

Authentic Japan in Gyakuten Saiban pt. 2

We continue the series of posts about authentic Japanese things in the world of Gyakuten Saiban. Today the focus will be on case 3-5, which takes place high in the mountains at the Hazakura temple.

真宵ちゃんによれば、《円座》というらしい。

mayoi-chan ni yoreba, “enza” to iurashī.

According to Mayoi-chan, it's called a "Enza."

……きっと、ここに来なかったら

一生、知らなかっただろうな。

… kitto, koko ni konakattara isshō, shiranakattadarou na.

...If I hadn't come here, I would never have known.

It would seem that Naruhodo was so active in commenting in 2-2, and here he refers to what Mayoi told him. But let's pay attention to the fact that he had never seen such pillows, so he could not know their name. (the theory of familiarity with interior items through relatives).

In fact, this is quite understandable - in Japan, enza were actively used only until the Edo period (1600-1868), and after cotton was brought to the country, they were replaced by "zabuton" pillows.

This fact can be used to measure how ancient the Ayasato clan is, compared to the Naruhodo clan, even if the tradition of using some no longer common interior items has been preserved.

___________________________________________

火鉢のまわりに、ワラで編んだ座ぶとんが並んでいる。

hibachi no mawari ni, wara de anda zabuton ga narande iru.

Straw cushions are lined up around the hibachi.

テレビの時代劇でしか見たことのない光景だ。

terebi no jidaigekide shika mita koto no nai kōkeida.

It's a scene I've only seen in historical dramas on TV.

He continues to call enza "straw zabuton".

Hibachi is a traditional Japanese portable stove for heating and cooking food, traditionally located in the center of the room.

___________________________________________

きゃあ、カワイイ! お地蔵さんがいっぱいだよ!

kyā, kawaī! Ojizōsan ga ippaida yo!

Oh, so cute! There are lots of Jizo statues!

ここには、かわりに事務所のコケシ、置いとけばいいでしょ。

koko ni wa, kawari ni jimusho no kokeshi, oi tokeba īdesho.

Why not just put the office Kokeshi doll here instead?

(sō ieba, ano kokeshi wa doko kara arawareta nda?)

(Now that I think about it, where did that Kokeshi doll come from...?)

Jizo (地蔵/womb of the earth), as they are called, are made in the image of Jizo Bosatsu, guardian deity of children and travellers.

Jizo also affectionately called “O-Jizo-san” or “O-Jizo-sama”.

Jizo are properly called “Jizo Bosatsu”, originating in ancient India where in Sanskrit they are called Ksitigarbha, which means earth womb. Jizo are often dressed in red bibs and hats as in Japan it is believed that the colour red can help ward off evil.

Kokeshi (こけし, 小芥子) are simple wooden Japanese dolls with no arms or legs

Although kokeshi dolls are primarily used as children's toys, they are also symbols of hopes for a bountiful harvest, wishes for good fortune and good luck, and great appreciation for craftsmanship and culture.

Mayoi unironically suggests that they steal one of the statues to the office, to which Naruhodō simply ignores, but also ponders another detail - where did the Kakeshi doll in his office come from? It was clearly not his doing. And the person who brought this doll clearly did so with only good intentions - a wish for good luck and an expression of appreciation for craftsmanship. Any suggestions? (Wrong answers only)

There are several more moments in Case 3-5 related to cultural heritage. And what's even more intriguing is that they are all related to Mei Karma (Franziska von Karma). But, unfortunately, I have a limit on the number of attached photos, so wait for the next part.

Gosh Beigoma & cooking battles took forever. ✒️ notes along the way. 112 heroes recruited so far!

Have you completed the game? #Eiyuden

112人仲間入り！後もうちょいかな〜

ベーゴマと料理大変だった😵‍💫but沢山研究して楽しい🤓✒️

クリアした方いるかな？

🚩降ろさな〜い♪ #百英雄伝

Also, they had to call the gator Hogan hehe🇦🇺 bizzo w

I may have taught English on NHk (Japanese TV).

I think the #EiyudenChronicle translation team did an awesome job🇦🇺

Bizzo/Arvo/Servo

We like our Os at the end.

‘Reckon’ I didn’t realise I used so often until a French person pointed it out.

So what d’ya reckon? #Aussie

オージー英語🇦🇺 #百英雄伝

オージー英語なのながウケるw

色々なSNSで『これのどこがオージー英語なの？』

という問いがあったので、こちらにサラッと答えます。

まず「bizzo」 は「business」のこと。

オージー英語ではよく語尾に「o」をつけます。

例. Arvo —> afternoon

例. Servo —> service station

‘What did I tell ya?’

この「ya」も非常に良く使う。

(ゲーム、文字は英語に設定していて、ナレーションは日本語の声優さんにしているので、これ読むだけでオージーのイントネーションが伝わって来る！！)

最後に「Reckon」。

これは、英語がネイティブでないヨーロッパの人に、『サラ良く使うね』、と言われてから気づき、他のオージーに聴いたら、確かにそうかもねとの結論。

#百英雄伝 の通訳者、非常にリサーチされてます！💪

言うまでもなく、ワニのキャラにこの表現と名前も🇦🇺

サラッとオージー英語、でした🤓

Timeout #02 : Where Hearts Break and Mend.

←prev | next→

A week had nearly passed since I broke things off with Marco. His unread messages still lingered on my phone. Each time I saw his "We need to talk," my fingers would hover over the reply button before pulling away. Getting back together would only lead to the same heartache. The ER couldn't function without Marco. It was unfair of me to expect him to keep promises when he could be called in even on his days off. I had no right to complain. After all, I fell for someone who valued saving lives above all else.

"Hey, let's play tag next!" A small hand tugged at mine excitedly, pulling me from my thoughts. The young girl, who had just gotten her discharge date, had regained her vibrant energy. It was hard to believe this was the same child who had spent six months crying in her hospital bed. During counseling sessions, I liked to bring patients to this courtyard surrounded by hospital wings. The gentle sunlight helped soothe hearts confined to sterile spaces. "No running games. What if you fall?" "But I'm tired of hide and seek!" Her hand slipped from mine as she darted away. "Hey, wait!" I chased after her. Illness affects not just the body, but the spirit. Yet here she was, smiling enough to run around. Being able to witness each patient's emotional healing - this was why I took pride in my work. Even if I couldn't cure diseases like the doctors, I could help heal hearts. "Over here!" "Watch out for the-!" My warning came too late. My sudden movement threw me off balance. As my knee hit the ground, I heard the fabric of my lab coat tear. "Oh no! Are... are you okay?" Anxious footsteps approached. I quickly stood, smoothing my coat. "Hey now! No running off like that, okay?" I scolded her cheerfully while discreetly turning sideways. My knee throbbed sharply, but I forced myself not to show it. "I'm sorry..." I gently patted her downcast head. "Look, the flowers over there are blooming beautifully! Shall we go see?" I directed her attention to the colorful flower bed, distracting her from what had happened.

カウンセリングが終わると、足を引きずりながら更衣室へと急いだ。一歩ごとに膝に鈍い痛みが走った。 ドアを開けて誰もいないことを確認し、慎重にズボンを脱いだ。膝の擦り傷は予想以上に大きかった。この歳で子供のように転ぶなんて、と思わず笑ってしまった。湿らせたティッシュで傷口を拭き、着替えを取りにロッカーへ向かった。その時になって初めて、今日は替えのユニフォームを持ってきていないことに気づいた。ため息をつきながら、ズボンについた血痕を拭き取ろうと必死だった。今日はもう患者の診察の予定はない。気を付ければ何とか乗り切れるだろう。 残りの時間は会議でいっぱいで、机の上には山積みの書類が積み重なっている。今日は時間通りに帰るのは無理だった。

夕暮れが深まる頃、最後の打ち合わせを終え、凝り固まった首をマッサージしながら廊下を歩いていた。蛍光灯が床に奇妙に長い影を落としていた。 廊下の隅で、時間が止まったようだった。 白い廊下に白い人影が立っていた。マルコだ。腕に抱えられた分厚いファイルがかすかに揺れた。言葉にならない時間が、私たちの間に流れた。彼の顔に驚きの色が浮かんだが、私が先に反応してしまった。視線を床に落とし、急いで通り過ぎようとした。 「…足、どうしたんだ？」 背後から聞こえてきた低い声に、肩がぴくりと震えた。相変わらず鋭い。苦笑いが唇をよぎった。 「転んで膝を擦りむいただけ。自分で治療したから大丈夫」 足を引きずっているのを必死に隠そうと、無理やり普段通りの歩き方をしようとした。 「見せてくれ」 彼の足音が近づいてきて、思わず体が緊張した。 「え、本当に、大丈夫なの」 声を落ち着かせるのに苦労した。 「もしそこにゴミや細菌が残っていたら、感染したり傷が残ったりするかもしれない」 「…後で同僚に見てもらいます」 私は廊下の向こうに見える時計をちらりと見て、現実逃避をした。 「…今日は仕事が山積みなんです」 そう言って、私は踵を返した。誰もいない廊下に足音が響き渡る中、彼の視線が背中を突き刺すのをまだ感じていた。

心理学のオフィスに入ると、静寂が私を出迎えた。同僚たちが消し忘れたデスクランプがいくつか、寂しげな光を放っていた。普段は賑やかなオフィスも、この時間になると妙に寂しく感じられた。 今日の仕事量を確認すると、またため息が出た。 「よし、2時間…いや、1時間で終わらせる」 そう呟いて自分を励まし、座り始めたその時、ノックもせずにオフィスのドアが開いた。ローがいつものように退屈そうな表情で入ってきた。 「まだここにいるなんて珍しいな」と 彼は私の顔を見ながら言った。 「何か用事でも？」と、 そっけない返事が自然と漏れた。ローは物憂げにバインダーを掲げ、クリップが蛍光灯の光に当たった。 「ローテーションの書類…どこに入れればいい？」 「ああ、箱に入れておけばいい」 彼が何も言わずに去ろうとした時、私は思わず声をかけた。 「ねえ、ちょっと…怪我を診てもらえませんか？」 「え？…どこが痛いの？」 ローは振り返りながら、かすかに目を細めた。 「カウンセリング中に幼い患者さんと遊んでいて転んでしまったんです。自分で治療したんですが、傷が残るのが心配なんです。見てください」 私は破れたズボンを指差した。ローは明らかに困った顔をしたが、黙って隅にあった救急箱を取り出し、椅子を引いた。 一瞬の沈黙の後、私は凍りついた。助けを求めていたにもかかわらず、その後のことを考えていなかった。診察室の静寂が急に重苦しく感じられた。

「あの…ズボンを脱がないと…いけないんですか？」 自分の声が震えているのがわかった。 「…他にどうやって診ればいいんですか？」 ローの声には、諦めと疲労が入り混じっていた。そして、私の考えを察したのか、彼は大きくため息をついた。医師として毎日患者さんの体に接している私が、こんな些細なことでためらっていることに、彼は苛立っているのがわかった。 「いいか、君の下着姿を見る気はない。早くしてくれ。仕事があるんだ」 彼の苛立たしい話し方に思わず反論しそうになったが、言葉を飲み込んだ。 「いいよ、でも、向こう向いて…」 声に不安が忍び寄ってきた。立ち上がるのが妙に気恥ずかしかった。布が滑る音さえも大きく感じられた。慎みを保つため、急いでズボンを太ももに掛けた。 「よし、準備完了」 ローは椅子を回転させた。冷たい指が私の膝に触れ、傷を注意深く調べた。 「ただの擦り傷だ。大したことない」 軽くあしらった言葉とは裏腹に、彼の手つきは驚くほど優しかった。荒っぽい扱いを覚悟していたが、彼は丁寧に傷口を拭き、繊細なタッチでガーゼを当てた。彼の仕草には、普段の態度からは想像もつかない温かさが漂っていた。 「……何？」 ローは私の熱心な観察に気づき、疑わしげな表情を浮かべた。 「何でもないよ。君って結局、ちゃんとした医者なんだと思ってただけだよ」 「僕の手術を見るまで、 それは控えておいてくれ」「結構だ。血みどろのものは苦手なんだ」 「ERの方が血みどろだ。…心臓手術は芸術だ」 ローはニヤリと笑い、手際よく救急箱を片付けた。

「よし、できた。掻くな」 「ありがとう」 私が立ち上がろうとした途端、ローは突然凍りついた。まるで石になったかのようだった。困惑しながら、私は彼を見上げ、ドアの方を見つめる彼の視線を追った。 「え？どうしたの？」 振り返ると、息が止まった。 マルコが救急箱を手にドアの前に立っていた。強い蛍光灯の下、彼の目は一瞬の驚きの後、氷のように冷たく変わった。彼の視線は、救急箱を持ったローから、下着姿の私へとゆっくりと移った。沈黙の瞬間は永遠に感じられた。 「…邪魔してごめん」 そう言うと、彼は踵を返した。ドアが静かに閉まると、白衣がわずかに揺れた。 ローはしばらく立ち止まり、それからゆっくりと私の方を向いた。いつもの無頓着な態度は消え、いつになく真剣な表情になっていた。 「…これはまずいかもしれない」。 心臓が高鳴るのが不安を露わにし、私は深呼吸をした。そうだ、これは同僚同士の医療行為だ。マルコがどう思おうと、罪悪感を抱く必要はない。それに、私たちはもう… 「大丈夫。…もう別れたんだ」。 無理やり笑顔を作り、さりげなくズボンに手を伸ばした。 「バカ、心配してないよ！まさか、私に恨みでも抱いてるんじゃないよ？」 彼の予想外の言葉に、私は立ち止まった。 「え？部署が違うのに、どうしてマルコと付き合わなきゃいけないの？」 首を傾げながら、急いでズボンを履き直した。 「…私も時々救急室の手伝いに呼ばれることがあるの。…それで、彼の手術の手伝いをすることになるの」 「え？聞いたことないわ」 ふと、好奇心が湧いてきた。救急室にマルコがいるなんて、私の知らない世界だった。看護師たちは彼の指示をどう待ったのだろう？研修医たちは彼から何を学んだのだろう？普段は穏やかな彼の態度が、手術室に入ると冷酷なまでにプロフェッショナルに変わるという噂を、私は漠然と覚えていた。 「マルコは手術中どんな感じ？厳しいの？」 「…以前は厳しかったんだけど。」 その言葉の意味を考える間もなく、ローは唐突に話題を変えた。 「明日の朝、冠動脈バイパス手術を受けるんだ。…もし暇なら見に来てくれ。」 そう言って、彼は部屋を出て行った。静かな診療室に夜の空気が満ちた。

◇

The next morning. My meetings finished earlier than expected. Looking at my schedule, I remembered Law's invitation from yesterday. (Might as well see how he works) Though I'd approached it casually, an odd tension crept into my chest as I climbed the stairs to the cardiac surgery ward. Hospital staff could observe operations freely unless specifically restricted. But clinical psychologists rarely set foot here. The surgical floor had a different atmosphere from the regular wards and offices. I walked down the corridor where even footsteps seemed muffled, filled with the scent of disinfectant. In the office, doctors and nurses in scrubs moved like precise gears in a machine. The whiteboard by the entrance displayed today's surgery schedule. I found Law's name and operating room. My hand hesitated on the observation room doorknob. Opening it slowly, I found several young medical students and two distinguished-looking senior doctors. One noticed me with surprise. "Oh, you're the psychologist..." "May I observe?" "Of course. You're just in time - the prep work is done, now comes the interesting part." Encouraged by his words, I approached the glass window overlooking the operating room. The surgical lights cast a bluish-white glow on the green scrubs. Though the masks should have made all faces look similar, Law's figure stood out strangely clearly. The exposed heart at the patient's chest made me catch my breath. The operating room was wrapped in silence, broken only by machine beeps and brief commands. Every staff member moved with precise efficiency. Though I couldn't understand what was happening, I found myself entranced by Law's confident movements. Suddenly, a small commotion arose behind me. Turning, I met Marco's eyes. Yesterday's scene flashed through my mind, making my heart leap. He showed a moment of surprise before his expression went blank, and he silently walked to stand beside me. The atmosphere in the observation room shifted the moment Marco appeared. The medical students tensed and whispered among themselves. "It's unusual to see you observing another department's surgery, sir." The doctor next to me nervously addressed Marco. "...Sometimes." Marco replied curtly, his gaze fixed on the operating room. His profile seemed to hold some emotion different from last night's coldness. Meanwhile, in the surgical field, Law had taken up his scalpel and was approaching the patient's thigh. (Wait, isn't this supposed to be heart surgery...?) As I leaned forward curiously, Marco's low voice explained: "He's harvesting a blood vessel to create the bypass-yoi." I peered through the glass at the surgery. The light focused more intensely on Law's hands. His right hand wielding the scalpel moved gracefully. His left hand with ultra-fine forceps delicately lifted a hair-thin blood vessel from between muscles, like drawing out a thread. "Wow, such a tiny vessel..." I couldn't help my amazed whisper. The doctor beside me smiled kindly. "He's very skilled. ...Even if his attitude needs work." This unexpected praise made me smile. The intense focus was completely different from his usual dismissive manner. Last night, beneath his characteristic complaints, his touch had been incredibly gentle. That duality shone brightest here in the operating room. "His technique is good. ...Though there's still some hesitation in his movements-yoi." The cool voice dropped suddenly from beside me. The tone made me straighten instinctively. Glancing sideways, I saw Marco observing the operation with one eyebrow raised, his sharp gaze evaluating the surgeon's skill.

We continued watching in silence. A heavy atmosphere that no one dared break dominated the observation room. The medical students held their breath, occasionally stealing glances at Marco. Eventually, as Law moved to the next phase, Marco slowly turned away. As the door closed quietly behind him and his presence faded, the doctors exhaled deeply as if released from pressure. "That was intense. ...What did he come to see?" The tension in the room gradually eased. "Marco... can he perform this surgery too?" I was surprised by my own question. The doctor smiled gently at me. "Of course. ER doctors need to handle all kinds of cases. In fact, there might not be any surgery he can't do." Those words settled heavily in my chest. In this world I didn't know, Marco was universally respected. It was a completely different side from the one I'd known as his girlfriend.

While lost in these thoughts, a voice announced the final sutures were complete. Law raised his arm as if wiping sweat from his surgical gown. Mid-gesture, his eyes flickered toward us. Despite the distance, I could clearly read his smug expression behind the mask.

That familiar mischievous grin seemed to say, "How was that?"

The operating room door closed, and the surgical lights dimmed. A brief silence fell before the next operation.
