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!

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!
