[isaksbestpillow]

this is random lol but do you have any japanese youtuber recs?? vloggers maybe

I don't watch a lot of vloggers these days (my fave channel atm is Kaamen-kun which is a gardening channel lol) but I can try!

Chirochan - A guy in Kouchi Prefecture films his elderly grandparents. They mostly cook, drink tea and chitchat. A very heartwarming channel with cozy vibes.

Kanataimu - A guy who posts about his trans journey and his life with deaf parents. Calm, friendly vibes. The guy has a pleasant camera presence.

Kazuechan - A channel that features lgbtq stories and issues. Kazue-chan should be on tv because he is so good at interviewing people. Comforting to tear-jerking vibes.

NANA05365 - An elderly guy in Akita Prefecture who posts about his corgis and garden. Cheerful, healing vibes.

Obabian channel - A group of lesbians in their 40s make videos together. Fun, friendly vibes. I want to be their friend so bad.

Hapi life - A lesbian couple living their best life. Happy vibes.

Kare wa mou sugu otokonoko - A guy and his girlfriend being infuriatingly cute. They also post about the guy's trans journey. Sweet vibes.

Pitachannel - A lesbian couple living their best life in Okinawa. Attractive vibes.

Yuuxchuxbuu - A gay couple from Kansai who mostly does livestreams. I haven't watched them in aaages but they have a funny double act dynamic. Candid, silly vibes.

Momo Ten Kuu - A channel about a dog and two cats. Perfect vibes.

2nd street - Probably the biggest Japanese lgbtq channel. They post about the gay scene in Shinjuku nichoume so it’s quite different from the other more subdued channels.

Tabieats - A middle aged couple that does food reviews in English.

Oc Creation: Names

the writing took longer than I expected but I’m done with the first part all thanks goes to ayalaatreides for proofreading and editing.

When naming, its very self explanatory, they have to have at least a number in their name. Since numbers are the central themes, it's no surprise that's what all the characters are named after. There's a heavy use of Japanese mythology and folklore in the series. They have a pattern, it’s fun and easy once you get the hang of it. Let’s begin with the inmate side of naming: the inmates go by aliases instead of their real names, for instance in flashbacks no one referred the characters by their current names. In a post I explained cell 13’s Jyugo,Uno Nico and Rock’s names; as I said before, naming can be fairly easy once you get the hang of it.

Inmates

The inmates’ names are from their id number, but it could also be something deeper. With Jyugo, “Jyugo” is the Japanese number for “15”,  his cell number. Uno is Spanish for “one” from the card game, citing his gambling habits and part of his id number “11”. Rock, when pronounced in Japanese, is “Rokku”, “ro” meaning “6”, “kuu” meaning “nine”, together mean “69”. Rock could mean as “strong as a rock”, like his inhuman strength would suggest. In Nico’s name, “ni” means “2” in the Japanese language, and “ko” is the phonetic symbol for “go” meaning “5”. Nico’s name means “second child”, his status being the youngest and most childlike out of all of his cell mates as well as his second personality that comes out later in the series. His name has different meanings attached, which are “smile” and “sunlight”, like his bright and energetic personality.

You have to remember. you can count numbers many ways in Japanese, for example Tsukumo’s name means “99” in Japanese. In naming, take apart what's in the name, Rock’s  “rokku”, “ro” being “six”, “ku” being “nine”. When it comes to a character’s kanji look at Kusatsu and Fujisan’s names. Kusatsu’s name in kanji is taken from Kusatsu, a town known for its hot springs. “Ku” means “9”, “Sa” means “3”, “Tsu” could mean “2”. Don’t believe me? Look at the kanji. As for Fujisan, it's a play on the term “Fujisan”, another notable hot spring, “fu” comes from “futa” meaning “2”, and “ji” like Nico, “ji” is the phonetic symbol for “shi” meaning “4” and “sa” = “san” meaning “3”, fitting since they both love hot springs so much.  

Now time for the inmates from the other buildings. I’ll start with building 3, inmates Trois and Honey., “Trois” is french for “3”, his nationality being french. For Honey, the Japanese pronunciation is “hani”, “ha” from “hachi” meaning “eight”, “ni” being “two” like his cell number. Another american, like Rock whose name is in Japanese pronunciation.

In naming, look at their nationality when naming your inmates. If that's the case, then why is Musashi given a Japanese name instead of  a German name? Easy: it's to represent the building he resides in. Building 4’s theme is culture, since it has Japanese culture it’s made to reflect the theme of the building. Musashi's name is broken up into “mu” from “muttsu” meaning “6”, “sa” being “san” meaning “3”, “shi” being “4”, like his inmate id number 634. His name comes from Miyamoto Musashi, the author of the Five Rings, a renowned Japanese swordsmen.

Last but not least: building 5 inmates Upa, Liang and Qi. Their names are reflected in their nationality being Chinese. Liang’s name is Mandarin Chinese for “2”, his cell number. For Qi it’s  “seven” like part of his cell number “7” in 71. As for Upa, “pa” is read as “eight” in Chinese. Like Nico, Musashi, and Uno, he has other meanings in his name as well., Upa’s name came from isha upa yoga (a form of yoga) referring to how he first appeared meditating, and also a buddhist monk, Upagupta. Qi’s name came from “Qi”, or “the central underlying principle in Chinese traditional medicine and in Chinese martial arts. The practice of cultivating and balancing qi is called qigong.” This links Liang, Upa and Qi together due to them having martial arts,qigong and medicine in their characters.

Now I’m done with the inmate side of naming; time to move on with the guards. They take another step but it’s lot of fun.

Guards

Let’s start off with the guards of building 13, Hajime Sugoroku. Hajime means “begin”, which is used in traditional martial arts such as karate,judo,aikido and kendo, matching Hajimes speciality in combat where he uses his fists for fighting. The kanji in his name means “one”, him being the number one man in Nanba prison. Sugoroku is a traditional Japanese new year’s board game. For his family, his brother Hitoshi’s name means “benevolence”, showing contrast to Hajime’s short tempered and violent temperament. Hitoshi can be spelled as “hitotsu” in different kanji meaning “one”, showing a connection to Hajime being his family.

Next is Seitarou Tanabata. His surname comes from the tanabata legend, and Tanabata’s a star festival held in japan. “Sei” means “star”, “tarou” is used for boys in japan and could also mean “eldest son”., Iif you look closely, his name could have a number if you look at “tarou”. Yamato’s name is from a Japanese battleship, and Yamato is an ancient alternative spelling of japan. The kanji of his name Godai means “five great”, named after the japanese elements from Japanese philosophy.

The guards of Nanbaka are named from characters in Japanese folklore and legend, like Momoko Hyakushiki, Samon Goku, Kenshirou Yozakura, Kiji Mitsuba, Mitsuru Hitokoe. Momoko, Samon, Kenshirou and Kiji are an allusion to the legend of Momotaro. Momoko being Momotarou, Samon the monkey, Kenshirou the dog, Kiji the pheasant. For their names, “momo” in her name is another way of saying “a hundred” in Japanese, and “ko” is used for girls in Japan. “Hyaku” means “a thousand”, “shiki” means “command”. As her name suggests she's a commanding presence in Nanba prison and warden of Nanba prison.

Samon is named after a character from the Chinese novel,  Journey of the West, the Monkey. “Go” means “5” citing building 5 the building he is supervising.

In Kenshirou, “ken” means “dog”, which is his motif in his design, “shi” means “scholarly officer” referring to his intelligent and informed personality, “rou” is a last name usually given to boys in Japan. Yozakura means “four cherry blossoms”. Taken from “yozakura”, an event that takes place after hanami, cherry blossom viewing at night, and “yo” in his surname means “4” referring the building he is supervising.

Kenshirou’s guard dogs of building 4 are named after flowers with numbers., In Japan people use flower language to convey emotions to each other. Since building 4’s theme is culture, it talks about japanese culture which uses hanakotoba (the language of flowers) which is proxy used in japanese culture. The guards are dogs that are different breeds, and they have flowers in their names I = one Ni = two Shi = four “no” is a naming particle using “of” when writing Japanese. Their last name “hana” means “flower” in Japanese. For tThe head guard dog Genrou Byakuya, Genrou’s full name means “mysterious wolf” and “Byakuya” means a “hundred nights”.

Next is Kiji Mitsuba. “Kiji” is Japanese for “pheasant”, “mitsu” is Japanese for “three”, “ba”  meaning “leaf”, his surname together means “three leaves”, a japanese parsley which is a vegetable in Asian cultures. “mitsu” means “3”, which refers to his building that he supervises.

The guards of building 5 are named after characters from the Journey of the West novel. Inori’s name means “wild boar”, “nori” meaning “hicklish”, his surname means “eight commandments”,  taken from zhu bajie a character from Journey of the West who shares the same personality traits as Inori. Part of Houzuki’s name means “law or buddhist”, referencing his outfit, “zuki” means “moon” and “Hou” is another way of saying “Hōshi” , “gen sanzou”. “Sanzou” is taken from “genjou sanzou”, a Chinese buddhist and the monk from Journey of the West, the wandering priest. For the Daisen brothers’ names, “dai” means “great”, “sen” means “sage”. The brothers are named after some of the characters from the Journey of the West. “Roku” means “6”, “koko” means “9”,  “you” means “8”, “riki” at the end means “power”. Rokuriki is named after the immortal of elk power, Youriki after the immortal of antelope power, and Kokoriki the immortal of tiger power, as seen again with their weapons. Ruka’s name means “flow of the river”. “Go” means “5” and “jo” means “pure clean unspoiled”. Ruka’s surname is taken from Sha Wujing, a river ogre from Journey of the West that accompanied Sanzou on his journey. Hachiman is an inmate whose name means “eight thousand”, he's named after a synthetic divinity of archery, and his power hungry nature references this. Also named after Zhu Bajie, the pig, encompassing his violent traits.

For the supervisors of other buildings: for the supervisor from building 1 Tomato Ichijou, “to” means “rabbit”, and in his kanji “ma” means “ten thousand”; “ichi” means “one” and “jou” means “streak”. “Ichi” in his name references the building he supervises. Nijimasu Nanairo means “seven colors”, his whole name together means “7 colored rainbow”. “Nana” meaning “7”, the building  he’s supervising. For Mao, a deputy supervisor, his name “mao” literally means “cat” in Chinese; his surname “ni” means “2”, “ji” means “dance”, “ma” means “under”, and “2” in his surname references the building he is working in. Mao is based on the nekomata, a cat demon with 2 tails for being from building 2. Also a reference to it his love for money, a  reference to another legend, the legend of maneki neko which is seen holding a coin.

To the staff: for Mitsuru Hitokoe, “mitsu” means “3”, “tsuru” means “crane”, “hito” means “one”, “koe” means “voice”. Mitsuru is taken from the folklore “Tsusru no Ongaeshi, the crane returns the favor”. The doctor’s name “okina” means “old man”, “o” means “drive or manage”, “to” means “ten”, “gi” means “justice, righteous”. His name’s taken from “Taketori no Okina”, the adoptive father of Kaguya Hime from The Tale of Princess Kaguya.

Kazari means “to decorate”, and Kagu 8 is an allusion to Princess Kaguya who was adopted by okina, and had many suitors wooed by her beauty. “Kagu” means “god,diety”, and “8” is another way of saying “ya”, the number 8 in Japanese.

So when naming your characters, look at the pattern from their names and how they are arranged closely: they have numbers like the title suggests.

Inmates Jyugo = 15 Uno = 11 Rock = 6,9 Nico = 2,5 Tsukumo = 99 Fujisan = 2,4,3 Kusatsu = 9,3,2 Trois = 3 Honey = 8,2 Liang = 2 Qi = 7 Upa = ba = 8 Musashi = 6,3,4

Guards For guards, they have numbers and are based on folklore

Hajime Ssugoroku = 1,2,6 Yamato Godai = 5 = Japanese battleship Yamato Seitarou Tanabata = 1 = Tanabata legend Okina Otogi = 10 = the Legend of Princess Kaguya Kazari Otogi = 10 = the Legend of Princess Kaguya Kagu 8 = 8 = the Legend of Princess Kaguya

Momoko Hyakushiki = 100,100 = Llgend of Momotaoru Samon Goku = 3,5,9 = Legend of Momotaoru = Journey of the West Kenshirou Yozakura = 4 = Legend of Momotaoru Kiji Mitsuba = 3 = Legend of Momotaoru Mitsuru Hitokoe = 3,1 = The Crane Returns the Favor

Mao Nimaijita = 2 = Nekomata,Maneki-neko

Tomato Ichijou = 10,000,1 Nijimasu Nanairo = 7

Inori Hakkai = 8 =  Journey of the West Houzuki Sanzou = 3 =  Journey of the West Ruka Gojo = 5 =  Journey of the West Kokoriki Daisen = 9 =  Journey of the West Youriki Daisen = 8 =  Journey of the West Rokuriki Daisen = 6 =  Journey of the West Hachimen = 8,10,000 =  Journey of the West

Hiya! Any book/movie/tv show recs during these crazy times? Preferably more uplifting stuff. Feel free to recommend less know stuff since I’ve probably already read/seen the popular ones. Thanks so much hope you’re having a lovely week all things considered!

hi!! i’ll do my worst!

first i’ll obviously need to plug my child kinou nani tabeta/what did you eat yesterday, haha. i’ve subbed all episodes @kinounaniresource​. it’s a japanese show about gays and cooking and cherishing the small joys in life. it has a very kind, uplifting vibe that follows a certain structure that i find calming during these uncertain times: the protagonist gets off from work at 6 pm, heads to the grocery store, makes dinner, eats said dinner with his boyfriend. some funny, sweet, sad or embarrassing things happen, but the daily routine remains the same.

i’ve been catching up on everything’s gonna be okay! it’s by josh thomas so if you liked please like me you’ll probs enjoy it! he has a rare talent in exploring life and death in a funny, non-sentimental way.

his ~ koi suru tsumori nante nakatta: so you may have noticed that i’ve been obsessed with the film his these past couple of months (i’m going to translate it for u all once i get the dvd!). this is a mini series that precedes the film, showing the characters as teenagers experiencing their gay awakening. it’s very teenage and very sweet, everyone is so clumsy and relatable. the director is so great at yearning and heart-fluttering things.

idk if you watch anime stuffs but my go to comfort anime is natsume yuujinchou/natsume’s book of friends about a teenage boy who can see spirits, accompanied by a spirit that usually disguises as a fat, sake-loving cat. there’s an overarching storyline but it progresses slowly and the show is quite episodic. if anime had personality types this one would be infp.

as for movies my go-to favourite is yokomichi yonosuke/the story of yonosuke. it’s also my favourite book. it’s about a wholesome himbo named yonosuke and his impact on the lives of a group of people in the 80s. there’s samba, possibly the funniest coming out scene i’ve ever seen, and good kind of sadness. i call it a sad feel-good film. (nothing bad happens to the gays don’t worry.)

karera ga honki de amu toki wa/close-knit tells the story of a girl who goes to live with her uncle and his transgender girlfriend. there’s a lot of knitting in this film, and it’s one of the first japanese films to depict trans issues. the director is known for her quietly quirky comedies, the most famous one probably being kamome shokudou/kamome diner about a japanese woman who sets up a diner in finland.

there’s a genre of funny japanese coming-of-age films that i really like where a group of awkward amateurs work very hard to gain a skill, eventually emerging triumphant. waterboys is about high school boys who start synchronised swimming, linda linda linda is about high school girls who form a cover band, swing girls is about high school girls who start a big band, and wood job is about a slacker who joins a forestry training program.

let’s do some youtube stuffs do while we’re at it! my favourite channel is this one: https://www.youtube.com/user/NANA05365 it has like 8k subscribers but truly god-tier content that mostly involves four dogs frolicking in the garden and a a grandma inspecting her cucumbers, truly all i want from life.

momo ten kuu is a more well-known channel featuring the lives of one dog and two cats in an old japanese house.

gimcheolsoo is a korean youtuber who invented romance. his videos are mostly just relaxing documentaries about his boyfriend and their cats in their natural habitats.

mango couple are a korean gay couple who also invented romance. their bedtime conversations about love are some of the most wholesome content on youtube.

this is a promotional channel of where i live. i like watching their videos now when i can’t really go outside to any of these places.

i can’t remember the last time i’ve read a non-japanese language book so i can’t really rec anything on that front but i hope this helped! i cut my finger earlier today and typing this hurts so i’m gonna stop here for now, haha. lovely weeks back to u!!

#asks #sorry about the typos my finger is in the way skskddsk
