Utada Hikaru - Come Back to Me

The rain falls on my windows
And the coldness runs through my soul
And the rain falls, oh the rain falls
I don’t want to be alone

I wish that I could photoshop on
Our bad memories
Because the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks
Won’t leave me alone

If you come back to me
I’ll be all that you need
Baby, come back to me
Let me make up for what happened in the past

Chorus
(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(You’re one in a million)

Memories I have of Manhattan
She goes shopping for new clothes
And she buys this, and she buys that
Just leave her alone
I wish that he would listen to her
Side of the story
It isn’t that bad, it isn’t that bad
And she’s wiser for it now

I admit I cheated (admit I cheated )
Don’t know why I did it (why I did it)
But I do regret it (do regret it)
Nothing I can do or say can change the past

Chorus
(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(You’re one in a million)

Everything I ever did
Heaven knows I’m sorry but
I was too young to see
You were always there for me
And my curiosity
Got the better half of me
Baby take it easy on me
Anything from A to Z
Tell me what you want to be
I open my heart to be
You are more priority
Can’t you see you punished me
More than enough already
Baby take it easy on me

Baby take it easy on me
Baby come back to me
Baby come back to me

Chorus
(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(You’re one in a million)

(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(One in a million)

Rie Fu - Life is Like a Boat

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

(Nobody knows who I really am

And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?)

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

The moon in its new cycle leads the boats again)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

Visual Characteristic of Anime

Many commentators refer to anime as an art form. As a visual medium, it can emphasize visual styles. The styles can vary from artist to artist or by studio to studio. Some titles make extensive use of common stylization: FLCL, for example, is known for its wild, exaggerated stylization. Other titles use different methods: Only Yesterday or Jin-Roh take much more realistic approaches, featuring few stylistic exaggerations; Pokemon uses drawings which specifically do not distinguish the nationality of characters.

While different titles and different artists have their own artistic styles, many stylistic elements have become so common that people describe them as definitive of anime in general. However, this does not mean that all modern anime share one strict, common art style. Many anime have a very different art style from what would commonly be called "anime style", yet fans still use the word "anime" to refer to these titles. Generally, the most common form of anime drawings include "exaggerated physical features such as large eyes, big hair and elongated limbs... and dramatically shaped speech bubbles, speed lines and onomatopoeic, exclamatory typography."

The influences of Japanese calligraphy and Japanese painting also characterize linear qualities of the anime style. The round ink brush traditionally used for writing kanji and for painting produces a stroke of widely varying thickness.
Anime also tends to borrow many elements from manga, including text in the background, and borrowing panel layouts from the manga as well. For example, an opening may employ manga panels to tell the story, or to dramatize a point for humorous effect. See for example the well-known anime Kare Kano.

Character design

Proportions

Body proportions emulated in anime come from proportions of the human body. The height of the head is considered as the base unit of proportion. Head heights can vary as long as the remainder of the body remains proportional. Most anime characters are about seven to eight heads tall, and extreme heights are set around nine heads tall.
Variations to proportion can be modded. Super deformed characters feature a non-proportionally small body compared to the head. Sometimes specific body parts, like legs, are shortened or elongated for added emphasis. Most super deformed characters are two to four heads tall. Some anime works like Crayon Shin-chan completely disregard these proportions, such that they resemble Western cartoons. For exaggeration, certain body features are increased in proportion.

Eye styles

A common approach is the large eyes style drawn on many anime and manga characters. Osamu Tezuka, who is believed to have been the first to use this technique, was inspired by the exaggerated features of American cartoon characters such as Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse, and Disney's Bambi. Tezuka found that large eyes style allowed his characters to show emotions distinctly. When Tezuka began drawing Ribbon no Kishi, the first manga specifically targeted at young girls, Tezuka further exaggerated the size of the characters' eyes. Indeed, through Ribbon no Kishi, Tezuka set a stylistic template that later shōjo artists tended to follow.
Coloring is added to give eyes, particularly to the cornea, some depth. The depth is accomplished by applying variable color shading. Generally, a mixture of a light shade, the tone color, and a dark shade is used. Cultural anthropologist Matt Thorn argues that Japanese animators and audiences do not perceive such stylized eyes as inherently more or less foreign.

However, not all anime have large eyes. For example, some of the work of Hayao Miyazaki and Toshiro Kawamoto are known for having realistically proportioned eyes, as well as realistic hair colors on their characters. In addition many other productions also have been known to use smaller eyes. This design tends to have more resemblance to traditional Japanese art. Some characters have even smaller eyes, where simple black dots are used. However, many western audiences associate anime with large detailed eyes.

Facial expressions

Anime characters may employ wide variety of facial expressions to denote moods and thoughts. These techniques are often different in form than their counterparts in western animation.
There are a number of other stylistic elements that are common to conventional anime as well but more often used in comedies. Characters that are shocked or surprised will perform a "face fault", in which they display an extremely exaggerated expression. Angry characters may exhibit a "vein" or "stressmark" effect, where lines representing bulging veins will appear on their forehead. Angry women will sometimes summon a mallet from nowhere and strike someone with it, leading to the concept of Hammerspace and cartoon physics. Male characters will develop a bloody nose around their female love interests (typically to indicate arousal, based on an old wives' tale). Embarrassed characters either produce a massive sweat-drop (which has become one of the most widely recognized motifs of conventional anime) or produce a visibly red blush or set of parallel (sometimes squiggly) lines beneath the eyes, especially as a manifestation of repressed romantic feelings. Some anime, usually with political plots and other more serious subject matters, have abandoned the use of these techniques.

Anime's Deskription

Anime (アニメ) is an abbreviation of animation. The world outside Japan regards anime as "Japanese animation". Anime originated about 1917.

Anime, like manga (Japanese comics), has a large audience in Japan and high recognition throughout the world. Distributors can release anime via television broadcasts, directly to video, or theatrically, as well as online.

Both hand-drawn and computer-animated anime exist. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases, and represents most, if not all, genres of fiction. Anime — popular in Asian countries such as Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Indonesia — has also become widespread in countries in the Western World such as Australia, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Norway, Russia, and Sweden.

Anime began at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques also pioneered in France, Germany, the United States, and Russia. The oldest known anime in existence first screened in 1917 – a two-minute clip of a samurai trying to test a new sword on his target, only to suffer defeat. The first talkie anime was Chikara to Onna no Yo no Naka, released in 1933.

By the 1930s, animation became an alternative format of storytelling to the underdeveloped[citation needed] live-action industry in Japan. Unlike in the United States, the live-action industry in Japan remained a small market and suffered from budgeting, location, and casting restrictions. The lack of Western-looking actors, for example, made it next to impossible to shoot films set in Europe, America, or fantasy worlds that do not naturally involve Japan. Animation allowed artists to create any characters and settings.

The success of The Walt Disney Company's 1937 feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs influenced Japanese animators. In the 1960s, manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka adapted and simplified many Disney animation-techniques to reduce costs and to limit the number of frames in productions. He intended this as a temporary measure to allow him to produce material on a tight schedule with inexperienced animation staff.
The 1970s saw a surge of growth in the popularity of manga – many of them later animated. The work of Osamu Tezuka drew particular attention: he has been called a "legend" and the "god of manga". His work — and that of other pioneers in the field — inspired characteristics and genres that remain fundamental elements of anime today. The giant robot genre (known as "Mecha" outside Japan), for instance, took shape under Tezuka, developed into the Super Robot genre under Go Nagai and others, and was revolutionized at the end of the decade by Yoshiyuki Tomino who developed the Real Robot genre. Robot anime like the Gundam and The Super Dimension Fortress Macross series became instant classics in the 1980s, and the robot genre of anime is still one of the most common in Japan and worldwide today. In the 1980s, anime became more accepted in the mainstream in Japan (although less than manga), and experienced a boom in production. Following a few successful adaptations of anime in overseas markets in the 1980s, anime gained increased acceptance in those markets in the 1990s and even more at the turn of the 21st century.

Lesson 2 - Interrogation ; "Is this a book?"

Interrogation : "Is this a book?"

Example :

Kore-wa hon-de su ka?
this book is ?
Is/are this/these a book(s)?

An interrogation sentence is formed by the simple addition of ka at the end. The order of the words is not changed. This ka will turn any sentence but long, complicated ones

Kore-wa nan'-de su ka?
this what is ?

What is/are this/these?


Nan' is an abbreviation of nani (what). So, note that a word like what (or who and where) is placed at the usual position in a sentence, which makes the Japanese languange simpler than English.


Key Words :


-wa word-ending for subject

-de word-ending for predicate complement

su(arimasu) is, am, are

ka ?

Vocabulary:
hai yes
nan' what?

How to learning My Japanese Lesson

First ; Read the Chapter Title



Second ; on the Example, look the preview below..



Example ;


Kore wa hon-de su <----- The Japanese word, all at once the Lesson Subject

this/these book(s) is/are <-----The real order of translation

This/these is/are book(s) <-----The adepted translation

Third ; if you want to know more about the subject of this chapter, read carefully the explanation under the example.

Fourth ; Memorize the Key Words, coz' the Key Words are the essential frame-work which is always used in forming sentences of the same type.

Fifth ; You can make the different sentences with only 5 words of vocabulary each chapter.

Sixth ; Exercise will be given seperately, for looking how much you understand 'bout the lesson.

Lesson 1 --- Sentences of The Type "This is a book"

Lesson 1

Sentences of the type "This is a book"

Example ;

Kore wa hon-de su

this/these book(s) is/are

This/these is/are book(s)

The Japanese language has no article. Also the number, gender, and person are, for the most part, left unregarded. Hon may be one book or several books.

Whenever there is -wa, it's mean, the word is subject of the sentence.
Similarly, -de indicate the word is the predicate complement of the sentence.

The full form of the word for is, are, am is ari-masu, but in the real it is usually abbretiviated to the last syllable su. But, in a formal speech may be used the full form.

Key World :

-wa word-ending for subject

-de word-ending for predicate subject

su (arimasu) is, am, are

Key Words are the essential frame-work which is always used in forming the different sentences of the same type.

For example, if we want to make the different sentences but in the same type with this lesson, substituting sore in the place of kore.

Sore-wa hon-de su

that/those book(s) is/are

That/Those is/are book(s)

In the same way, if we want to make "I am a Man/Woman" sentence, make it in the same order with this type.

Watakushi-wa otoko/onna-de su

I man/woman am

I am man/woman

Thus you can make your own sentences.....with the Key Word and Vocabulary you can make many others.

Vocabulary

kore this/these

sore that/those

hon book(s)

watakushi I, myself

onna man/ men

otoko woman/women

How to learning My Japanese Lesson

Lesson 1 --- Sentences of The Type "This is a book"

Lesson 2 --- Negation ; "This is not a book"

Bab 1 - Tipe Kalimat " Ini buku "

Bab 1

Tipe Kalimat "Ini buku"

Contoh

Kore-wa hon-de su

ini buku adalah

Ini sebuah/beberapa buku

Bahasa Jepang tidak memiliki kata sandang tertentu. Begitu juga nomor, jenis kelamin (bahasa gaulnya, sih, J-kel), dan persona (kalo ga' ngerti, sama aja dengan orang), sebagian besar, tidak diacuhkan. Hon bisa saja berarti sebuah atau beberapa buku. -Su berguna sebagai kata adalah.

Kapan saja terdapat -wa, lebih tepat diasumsikan bahwa kata atau ungkapan sebelumnya adalah subjek kalimat. Sama pula dengan -de yang biasanya menandakan sebuah pelengkap predikat.

Bentuk penuh kata -su, adalah ari-masu, tapi dalam penggunaan sehari-hari biasanya dipendekkan, sehingga cuma silaba (suku kata) terakhir yang tersisa, -su. Dalam pembicaraan yang sangat formal, bentuk penuh itu bisa saja digunakan. Tapi itu diluar lingkup kita saat ini.

Urutan kata dalam sebuah kalimat biasanya seperti ini; subjek di awal, verba di akhir, dan pelengkap predikat terletak di antaranya.

Kata Kunci :

-wa akhir-kata subjek

-de akhir-kata pelengkap predikat

su (arimasu) adalah

Kata kunci merupakan bagian yang penting yang selalu digunakan dalam penyusunan kalimat dalam tipe yang sama.

Misalnya, mensubtitusikan sore di tempat kore, jadinya seperti di bawah ini;

Sore-wa hon-de su

ini buku adalah

Itu sebuah/beberapa buku

Karena bentuk persona tidak diacuhkan dalam bahasa Jepang, "Saya (adalah) seorang wanita" bisa dibentuk dalam tipe kalimat yang sama

Watakushi-wa onna de-su

Saya wanita adalah

Saya seorang wanita

Jadi sejumlah kalimat dapat dibentuk dari Kata Kunci.

Selanjutnya, lihatlah bagaimana dalam latihan nanti Anda bisa mengerjakan soal-soal hanya dengan menggunakan lima buah kata dalam Pembendaharaan Kata.

2. Salah satu jenis pertunjukan Kabuki yang disebut Kabuki-kyōgen atau cukup disebut Kyōgen.

Secara garis besar ada 2 jenis pertunjukan Kabuki-kyogen dari semua karya yang dihasilkan di zaman Edo dan sekarang masih dipentaskan. Kelompok pertama Kabuki-kyogen disebut Maruhon mono yang mengadaptasi sebagian besar cerita dari cerita Ningyo Jōruri (Bunraku).
Kelompok kedua disebut Kabuki kreasi baru. Kabuki Maruhon mono juga dikenal sebagai Gidayu-kyōgen, tapi Gidayu-kyōgen tidak selalu sama dengan Maruhon mono. Pada Gidayu-kyōgen, aktor kabuki membawakan dialog sementara dari atas mawaributai (panggung yang bisa berputar, dari arah penonton terletak di sisi kanan panggung) penyanyi yang disebut Tayu bernyanyi sambil diiringi pemain shamisen yang memainkan musik Gidayu-bushi. Pada Ningyo Jōruri yang semua penjelasan cerita dan dialog dinyanyikan oleh Tayu. Pada kabuki kreasi baru, musik pengiring dimainkan dari Geza (tempat atau ruang untuk pemusik yang dari arah penonton terletak di sisi kiri panggung).
