Poem/song: Teru-teru-bōzu

This is kind of a poem/song from Japan, who represents the special doll that would make the weather sunny and keep the rain away, it's a very beautiful poem (I think I just stick to calling it a poem).

Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu

Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure

Itsuka no yume no sora no yo ni

Haretara kin no suzu ageyo

--

Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu

Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure

Watashi no negai wo kiita nara

Amai o-sake wo tanto nomasho

--

Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu

Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure

Sore de mo kumotte naitetara

Sonata no kubi wo chon to kiru zo'

Even Juvia from the anime Fariy tail got a Teru Teru Bozu doll

Some kind of translation (beware of mistakes!)

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu

Make tomorrow sunny

Like Heaven from a dream

If it become sunny, I'll give you a golden bell

--

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu

Make tomorrow sunny

If you make my wish come true

We'll drink a lot together 

--

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu

Make tomorrow sunny

but if the weather is cloudy and you cry

I will chop of your head

I found out that this poem is actually about a munk who promised some farmers to stop the rain, because of the weather ruined the crops. In the end the munk didn't get the sun to come so he got executed =/ 

Learn: Ningyo Johruri Bunraku Puppet Theatre

Yo!

I randomly found some vids on youtube about The Japanese Puppet Theater. And guess what? It fascinated me, so again.. I share it here:

Well first.. Ningyo Johruri.  Ningyo does actually just mean puppet and Johruri is some kind of a narrator or a storyteller. The narrator I think use to sing the story in some kind of way.

 So as you see in the video the puppet is not controlled with wires or anything like western puppetshow. It's usually three persons, one main and two "helpers" who controls the puppet

You can see that I have marked out the 3 "controllers"
Where the guy on the left is the main one



The visibility of the controllers are not important and I guess they are kinda part of the show. I thought it was kinda weird and different from what I have usually seen, you'll get used to it x) but as I told you before.. I find it very fascinating.. indeed.

What else.. hmm oh yeah, I even watched a clip were they told a little about the mechanism behind the movements of the different parts of the puppet.. Like they got several strips attached to the head that can move the head like in a nodding way or move the eyes to left and right, open and close mouth and move the eyebrows.

Again, I have marked out where the strings are
It's not easy to see.. but their there xD

I ended up watching three different shows lasting 4, 7 and 14 minutes.. so I spent around nearly half an hours watching this stuff.. Reminder to myself.. I have to go to the theater next time I'm in Japan! 

Learn: Tsundere and Yandere

Sooo if you're an anime fan or have watched some animes you have probably met the words Yandere and Tsundere. But what does these two words actually mean? 

Well I'll try to describe them as easy as possible. 
To help you understand it a little better I'll post a very good describing picture: 

Soo lets start with the first one: Tsundere

As you see in the text under the picture (Which is Taiga from Toradora), the person is denying liking the apple .. Which means that the person is a coldhearted, kinda Sarcastic and does not want to show her feelings.

-  This attitude is coming from the words Tsun Tsun which is used for a cold, denying and gruff attitude

But after some time her attitude will change into a more loving and friendly person who ends up with falling in love with the person.
- This attitude is from the words Dere Dere which really means that the person become soft and weak-hearted.. if that made any sense x) 

Pictures of some of the most known Tsundere:

Ofc I had to add Taiga Aisaka

This is her in her "Tsun Tsun"-mode

This is also Taiga, but in "dere dere"-mode

Rin from Fate Stay Night

Misaka Mikoto from Index is a typical tsundere imo

I hope I haven't fucked up and misunderstood anything but that's at least what I think of the word tsundere. 

Sooo over to Yandere

The freaky psycho person :D! These persons are what I enjoy the most to watch, just because they are awesome.
So what's a yandere? Shortly it's a person who's obsessed with her crush and would to ANYTHING for him to become hers.
Her mood should be very quick-changing from loveydovey to a psycho violent person. They are often seen with some kind of weapon, often a knife or a cleaver.

I think the yandere person could be a yandere without really loving a person but just being connected and hanging out with him.. <--- I'm not really sure about that. An example of the last here is Rena Ryuugu from Higurashi no naku koro ni. I haven't really thought about her having some kind of a romantic view of Keichii but they have a friendly friendship relationship-thing-thing xD

Well screw that lets just post some pictures instead.. Maybe it'll become more clearer: 

If you have read my blog, I have already written about this girl

As you see, it's Gasai Yuno from Mirai Nikki

This is the latest Yandere girl I have seen

She'll kill whoever gets in her way, to protect her crush

Original drawer of this pictures deviant: >>LINK<<

This is the girl I wrote about further up in this post:

Rene Ryuugu.....she's ... Really a scary girl

But as for the yandere, her mood changes and from being a violent killing machine she usually looks more like this :

Last person I'll post is Kotonoha Katsura

Those memories... O_O She's from  the anime called : School days

The most fucked up..disturbing piece of work... damn

I can easily understand Kotonoha's urge to kill a certain person..

Maybe I should write about it soon

So yeah.. that's my post for today! Hope you guys are a lil more informed now and that my post helped you understand a lil bit more!

Youtube: Chinchilla movie!

Hey!

I have just gotten Vegas Pro 11, sooo I have been trying it out sometimes. I made a movie about my chinchilla jumping, just because he's just too cute. I just thought I should share it with you C:

~Kiyo~

Anime: Mirai Nikki

What would you give, to get to know the future? 

This time I'm going to write some words about Mirai Nikki, one hell of a good anime!
It's all just a game, win it or die trying! 

Yuiteru Amano-kun, scaredycat

The main character is a boy named Yukiteru "Yuki" Amano, who is kind of lonerboy who spend most of his time writing in his diary with his imaginary friend Deus, a god of time and space.
Later Deus makes Yuki's phone special, in a way that he get to know what's about to happend with him in the future.
Instead of writing himself, the phone text changes itself. The worst outcome is to get a "Dead end" message

Death is unavoidable! or is it?




This is the start of a very dangerous game involving death, a survival game.
He teams up with a classmate named Yuno Gasai, a stalker that really likes Yuki. 
Yuno looks like just any innocent girl, but when Yuki is dragged further into Yuno's life, he finds out some truth about Yuno. 

Gasai Yuno crying... why? Find out in the anime!




Anyways, this is all I'm going to reveal for you other than that the anime is still ongoing, but I think it will end on maybe 24 or 26 eps
I first found this series by reading the manga, but I didn't have time to read the end so I have no idea how it really ends, so I'm looking forward to watch the next episode

And just for the fun of it: More pictures of Gasai Yuno since she's really a badass girl! 

Youtube: PONPONPON

Yoo!
Wow more videoes for you too see!! This time I chose a Japanese musicvideo with some very cute and colorful girl on! Everything is pink and childish. The vid is kinda creepy really but the song is a song that could make anyone cheerful and happy, after my opinion ^^

Super Kawaii desu! <-- lol I guess those words

are the first one any person who want to learn Japanese learn c:

And by any mean you didn't know this, it just means "cute"

Kawaii = cute

Desu = it is 

Youtube: le Internet Medley

I had forgotten about this until today, when I saw it randomly again xD!
It's a youtube video by " tomorsketches" where they play through some of the songs that rules the internet like Nyan cat, the leek-spin with Orihime (from bleach.. you all remember that one right?" and the trolololo and some more...
But they are really really good and funny!
Oh btw look at 0:39.. the guy is playing guitar with a leek! ... <--- more random stuff xD

but yeah check it out and give them a thumb up for creativity!

Enjoy!!
trololo, meme, nyancat, song <--- random tags C:

Anime: Durararararararara

Yååå <--- Norwegian letters ftw!!

Well anyway.. Durarara! It's an anime that I watched kinda long time ago so I don't remember all the details and stuff, only that I liked it really much.
First thing first, the name is often simplified to DRRR when japanese people talks about this anime. <-- Totally unimportant really, but easier to write so.... ^^"

This is Kida (:

The plot is based on a guy named Mikado Ryūgamine, who's used to live outside cities, but has now moved into the big city of Ikebukoro because of his childhood friend Masaomi Kida invited him here. Kida explain to Ryūgamine about the many dangerous and violent people in this city that he should keep a great distance to.
But these guys are really the most awesome in the whole anime! 

Mikado, it was actually quite hard to find a picture with just him

without alot of fanfiction/yaoi-inspired stuff xD 

Anyways, I told you that I really liked the characters in this anime and I'll explain by posting a picture of them

Dam dam dam:

The first person: Shizuo Heiwajima

if you are wondering about what the text says it's:

I hate violence. 

This is what he ends up doing

Yeah, that's a vending machine^^

The next person: Izaya Orihara

He's one hell of a bastard.. I kinda hate him

But he is at the same time so cool.__.

Damn you! 

Eternal rivals! 

Celty Sturlason! :D

I can't really say much about her without spoiling >.< 

The foreign Russian guy: Simon!

Epic! 

Well I hope these pictures will get you to scream: "DAMN OF COURSE I WANNA WATCH THIS!!" <-- This is what you say and this is what you click on --> http://www.gogoanime.com/durarara-episode-1

Matta ne~ <-- just because...I can. 

oh and btw:

I just wanted to add this little video, that has nothing special to do with the anime but it is starring Shizuo Heiwajima, and I found it kinda cute ^^" 

A little video :)

Food: Bento (lunch box)

Hey!

Something Japanese...The special lunch boxes! If you watch anime you have probably seen them carry around a special wrapped box, this is in fact a lunch box (duh.. Cap'n obvious strikes again!)
Well my point is that, Japanese people are kinda lucky to have the tradition that the parents (I think it's usually the mother) making these lunch boxes for their kid. (I don't know exactly how normal it is with the bento boxes though)

Bento boxes is like a type of art, since in Japan, you can buy all kinds of extra stuff like cutters for special shapes, extra decorations like flowers and grass made of plastic and stuff

Cute animal decorations

Leaf and grass : )

Next I will post some random pictures of bento-boxes so that you'll see how pretty and good-looking they can really be : 

Cute animals and Domo-kun made from rice

Rainbow bento! Really nicely done! 

 Store-made bento boxes

Ordinary bento without much decorations :) 

This one is pretty epic! :D 

And ofc I had to try making one myself so here it is!!:

I spent about 2 hours making this lunch box, so it takes alot of time

But it's totally worth it. At least when you are living in a place where the lunch usually is just dry plain boring bread.. :

That's it for this blog post, if you wanna know more about bento boxes post a comment or just google it x)

Youtube: Swedish House Mafia - Save The World

This is one of the better music videos I have seen

It tells the story about people getting robbed, and how man's best friend the dog saves them all

Its so fantastic made, and it shows the love that the animals give to the humans

I nearly cried .. (yeah I know I'm very emotional..>.>) at the turning point

Just take 3 and a half minute to watch this, you won't regret it. 

The music is also very good. Most people would like this kind of music C:
The band is called Swedish House Mafia and they started playing together in 2008
"Save the world" is their new single, which chartet at #10 in the UK Chart

More information on the band >>HERE<<

Anime: Toradora!

I recently finished the anime named Toradora. As nearly all the other anime's I watch I found this one very amusing and great. The theme is "A slice of life", which means that it's put into a normal school life setting. Toradora gives you a little insight on how a normal teenager spends his or her school day (roughly)... 

The main person is Ryūji Takasu, who lives with his mother and a parakeet named Inko. First I just have to say that Inko is one hell of a funny bird. I think it's better to just post a picture. 

Back to Ryuji; he is a smart and independent because of the lack of a father at home. At school lots of people is frightened by him because of his eyes. He is secretly in love with one of the girls at school. 

Another girl; is Taiga Aisaka, who gets bullied because of her name; her nickname is " palmtop tiger". Blahblah :3 Taiga and Ryuji ends up as close friends since Aisaka lives by herself and they found out that they are neighbours

At least this anime is filled with happy moments, moments where you wish to kill a certain person and moments where you want to cry because of the sadness. 

Shop : GAMEZONE

I just wanted to share a site with you all (actually it's a Norwegian site ^^" so all no-Norwegians can just ignore this post...really xD)

The site *CLICK HERE*, is actually really awesome! You can buy games for all consoles, films, tshirts accessories, candy and a lot more : ) 
I bought a scarf from this site and it was delivered only few days after the payment was done.

Scarf! :D 

This is one of the best scarf I have ever used, it's fluffy and keep you warm, the only thing that is bad with this one is that the scarf is a liiiittle bit to short, and the price is a little high too.

They sell Ps2 games here too, which is something I have looked after many times, The prices varies from 49kr-499, and all (at least a couple of ) those old games you though you wouldn't find is listed here. Personally I looked for Kingdom Hearts everywhere, but all places was sold out until I found this page 

You will also find tons of manga books, atm they got 977 different books ^^

and at least over 100 different titles

Another good thing about this page is that ofc they got some games and movies that are a little outdated and stuff... they give them out FOR FREE! Only thing you have to pay is the shipping :3 

FREE...EVERYYTHING IS FREEEEEEE<---- Free stuffers ^_^

Sooooooo check this site out : )
