ただいま帰りました！I'm back from Japan, and just in time for the May Japanese goals update! As usual, my actual study time in May was limited, but thanks to spending two weeks using strictly Japanese, I think that there was some improvement. My son certainly learned a lot of new vocabulary, even if he didn't learn how to share...

With my trip, last month's study looked a bit different than normal, but I will to include the different ways I actively worked on improving my Japanese during my trip.

ただいま帰りました！日本から帰ってきたばかりので、丁度5月のアップデートに間に合いましたね。いつも通り、勉強の時間が少なかったけど、日本語しか使わなかった2週間のおかげで、なんとなく日本語の勉強を進んでいました。うちの息子は特に語彙力をアップしましたが、他の子どもと仲良く遊ぶのはまだまだ…

My Goals at the Beginning of the Month

Intentionally speak more formally (since I usually only speak casually at home)

Teach my 2-year-old more vocabulary

Pick up pointers from Japanese moms for talking to kids in Japanese

Watch as many movies inspired by shoujo manga as possible on Netflix

How I Studied This Month

Speaking & Listening - Conversations with relatives, friends, other moms & children at the park, everyone (lol), with an emphasis on the proper level of formality

More Listening - News, Netflix movies & anime

Kanji - Reading all the signs

What Were My Strengths?

Speaking & Listening - Able to keep up conversations with others with little trouble, generally able to keep up a formal conversation

What Were My Weaknesses?

Kanji - I could always stand to learn more kanji

Vocabulary - During conversations, having to have someone explain a word I didn't understand in the context or not having the right word to explain something to someone else can interrupt the flow of conversation

Things to Try Next Month

Grammar - Review N3 grammar points using YouTube videos

Kanji & Vocabulary - Mine kanji and vocabulary from manga, articles, and other reading materials as I read them

Listening practice - Listen to podcasts during my work commute

italki lesson - If I can find the time (lol) I would like to try some italki lessons, to help with my deficiencies in speaking and listening

The rest of the year will be pretty boring compared to May, but I feel inspired by my time in Japan, and motivated to keep learning, for myself and my son.

How are your studies going? Wishing you the best of luck!

これから今年は5月と比べるとつまらなく感じるかもしれませんが、日本の旅行のおかげでモチベーションが上がって、これからも日本語の勉強を頑張って続きます。自分の為に、それとも息子の為にどんどん日本語の能力を上達したいと思います。

皆さんの勉強はどうですか？皆さんを応援しています！

新宿御苑散策路

2022.12.14

この前の日曜、新宿御苑の横を通ったら、イチョウがとても綺麗でした♪

12月の紅葉…温暖化の影響なのか昔より色づくのが遅いですよね。

東京も最近やっと少し冬っぽくなってきましたが、子供の頃から暑がりな私としてはもっと早く冬になって欲しいし、できるだけ長く続いて欲しい！

なんなら気温ももっと下がって欲しいのです。真冬になっても東京の寒さは大したことがないので、ダウンコートやストールの出番が本当に少なくて…。タートルネックは東京に住むようになってから着なくなりました。

今日ぐらい(最低6℃、最高15℃)だと、普通の冬用コートも電車で暑くて脱ぎたくなるので、そもそも着ないことも多いです。(周りにびっくりされますが…)

あまり共感されませんが、早く0度以下になるのを待ち望んでいます(笑)

When it was all green because the season for pink had not arrived

And the night became my only best friend

Then before I knew it, snowfall came

And I realize that I have to let you go... to walk my own path. alone.

Just kidding. I'm just full of lies. Can you find the truth that is buried within them?

*The song below isn't the movie's OST*

(It's just me longing for the sakura flowers)

Smooth like a river’s course, I can hear a peaceful melody.

A breeze, tinted with the hues of nostalgic memories, caresses my cheeks as it passes.

The distant sky, rouses awake forgotten memories

As though my heart had been cracked open.

And what spills forth are tears.

The season of the white sakura, standing in full blossom

Exists only in a faraway dream.

The dancing blossoms scattering through the air

Whisper words that shall forever remain engraved in my memory.

Those sleepless nights I set off alone, strolling through the warm breeze,

Have transformed into memories before I notice while I was still frolicking about.

Those hot, sultry days

Where even the moon disappears

Hold memories I wish to forget, but when even they vanish,

All that remain are never-ending tears.

The fixed passage of time cruelly

Constrains us as it plays with us.

The lush verdant leaves of the sakura

Speak only silence.

The season of the white sakura, standing in full blossom

Exists only in a faraway dream.

The dancing blossoms scattering through the air

Whisper words that shall forever remain engraved in my memory.

#Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden #i wish i could lie in the park again where sakura petals fall #kotonoha no niwa #two worlds apart #yume to hazakura #sometimes i wish i didnt say anything and remained silent instead #cant take back the spoken words

Passion in Tokyo*

Word count: 2280

A/n: just a japanrry fic

Content warning: smut, 18+, p in v, unprotected sex, creampie, daddy kink

Tokyo welcomed us with its orderly chaos and its frenetic beauty. As we walked through the crowded streets, Harry seemed to have a secret hiding behind his playful smile. I couldn’t figure out what he was up to, but his excitement was contagious and it made me feel like I was in the middle of an amazing adventure.

Every place we visited seemed to be carefully chosen by Harry, and every look, every gesture, was full of meaning. I wondered what he was up to, but I didn’t dare ask him, fearing to ruin the magic of the moment.

When we finally arrived at the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, the golden light of the sunset tinged the surrounding landscape with warmth. Harry seemed engrossed in his thoughts as my heart pounded as I waited to find out what he had in store for us.

As we walked through the garden, the rustling of the leaves and the sweet scent of the flowers created an enchanting atmosphere. Harry held my hand gently, but his gaze reflected silent determination. I wondered what he was thinking as we ventured deeper and deeper into the heart of the garden.

At a certain point, we came to a romantic little bridge that crossed a quiet lake. The sunset light danced on the water, creating golden reflections that illuminated our path. Harry stopped in front of the bridge, his gaze scanned the horizon with a mixture of emotion and serenity.

My heart began to beat faster in my chest as I wondered what was about to happen. It was as if time had stopped, leaving just the two of us in a moment suspended in eternity. With a sigh, I turned to Harry, ready to face whatever fate had in store for us.

The tension in the air was palpable as we exchanged meaningful glances. Harry took a deep inhale and knelt in front of me, revealing a small box hidden in the palm of his hand. My heart leapt in my chest as my eyes filled with tears of joy and wonder.

“Y/n,” he said, his voice shaking, “ever since I met you, my life has changed in ways I never imagined. You are my light, my smile, my everything. I can't imagine spending a just a moment without you by my side. I would like to ask you... would you like to marry me?"

My hands trembled as I opened the box, revealing a gorgeous, sparkling ring. My words were lost in the tumult of emotions overflowing inside me. With a bright smile, I nodded slowly.

Harry looked at me with eyes bright with hope and love, and my breathing deepened as I watched him. The words hung in the air for an infinite moment, before they finally came out of my mouth with a sweetness I didn't know I possessed.

'Yes, Harry,' I replied with a trembling voice, 'yes, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.'

A smile of joy lit up Harry's face as he stood up and hugged me tightly. The weight of the box in his hand became a tangible sign of our commitment to each other, a symbol of our love that would last forever.

The sunset colored the sky with shades of pink and gold as we exchanged sweet promises and whispers of love. In that moment, the world around us seemed to disappear, leaving us alone in our universe of happiness and hope.

After accepting his proposal, the air around us seemed charged with electricity, as if every single molecule was impregnated with our newly recognized love. The erotic tension between us was palpable, a wave of desire that grew with each heartbeat.

We looked at each other intensely, without words, but with a profound understanding that went beyond verbal expressions. It was as if we were reading each other, revealing our innermost desires without having to utter a single word.

Slowly, our mouths came closer, attracted by an irresistible magnetism that bound us to each other. The first contact was delicate, a light touch that sent shivers along my skin. Then, the kiss became deeper, more passionate, as if we were to merge our souls into a single entity.

My hands ran down his body with a firm determination, exploring every curve, every line, as if I wanted to memorize every single detail of him. I felt the heat of his skin under my fingers, and my body burned with desire as I abandoned myself completely to him.

His lips were soft and hungry, devouring mine with an uncontainable passion. Our breaths mixed in a frenetic rhythm, as if we had to share the same oxygen to survive. It was a kiss that exuded desire, union and promises of endless love.

Our tongues intertwined in a sensual dance, exploring every corner of each other's mouths with insatiable curiosity. Every moan, every sigh, was an expression of our unquenchable passion, a language that only the two of us could understand.

In that moment, in the heart of Tokyo, under the starry blanket of the night sky, we had united not only as lovers, but as soul mates destined to walk the path of love and passion together.

After that intense moment of passion, Harry took a deep inhale, his eyes still burning with desire as he looked at me with affection. “Y/n,” he whispered huskily, “I think it's time to go to the hotel.”

His voice was full of promise and anticipation, and my heart was still beating fast in my chest as I nodded slowly, unable to speak due to the intensity of the emotions we had just shared.

With a knowing smile, we walked hand in hand towards the hotel, our pace impatient and full of expectations. Although the city around us was still in turmoil, our world was reduced to that moment, that place, the promise of a night of passion and shared love.

Once we arrive at the hotel, Harry gently closes the door behind us and turns to me with a look full of desire.

“How about waiting for daddy like a good girl on the bed?” he tells you in his usual low tone of voice.

You nod without saying anything and head to the bedroom that was separate from the rest of the suite.

You undress to just your underwear, already knowing that Harry will appreciate what you've done.

You wait what seems like a lifetime when Harry finally makes his way into the room. He has two glasses of white wine in his hand and has unbuttoned the first 4 buttons of his shirt, revealing some of his tattoos on his chest.

“I see you've been a good girl, waiting for dad only in your lingerie that he bought you” she tells you, letting out her usual mischievous smile and handing you a glass of wine.

You both take a sip from your glasses, then Harry takes yours from your hand and places both little holes on the nightstand next to the bed.

“I think it's time to celebrate.”

He lays you flat on your back and starts running his hands all over your body leaving wet kisses here and there.

“You know,” he says, they detach their mouths from your body, “when I bought this I already imagined how it would feel on you, but seeing it in person is a completely different thing. You're a fucking goddess.”

You stand there in silence, letting out a moan every now and then, it feels like your brain has turned to mush, the only thing you can think about is Harry.

Meanwhile he got dangerously close to the area where you need him most, and slowly takes off your black lace panties.

He inhales deeply as he uses his hands to open your legs. “You always smell good to me don't you? And always so wet! Who made you so wet?”

“You… it was you”

But Harry doesn't seem happy with your answer, giving you a light slap on the inside of your thigh. “I didn't hear, who made you wet?”

“You daddy, it was you!”

“Good girl,” he tells you, leaving a wet kiss near your crotch. “Since you were a good girl I think you deserved a present.”

With the help of his thumbs he opens your pussy lips, and smiles when he sees your clit already erect and smooth with your excitement.

He doesn't wait a second longer and dives into your pussy, licking your clit first, making tight circles with his tongue, and then he draws licks that go from your hole to your clit.

Harry was so good at giving head, the best you've ever been with. The little grunts he let out when he tasted your nectar straight from the source turned you on even more.

With his hands you grab his hair and pull him closer to you as you ride his face.

In the room the only noises that can be heard are your moans and the wet sound of Harry's tongue meeting your pussy.

He moves his mouth away from your center and you moan at the loss of contact. “I think she's ready to take daddy's cock now, don't you?”

“Yes, yes daddy, I need you, I need your cock.”

Smiling at your words Harry quickly strips off his clothes and you can finally see his cock, standing with the red tip already dripping with precome.

“How do you want me, pretty girl?”

“I want to be on top.”

“Go pretty girl, ride me.”

Harry sits on the bed with his back against the headboard of the bed, spreading his legs slightly and stroking his cock.

You slowly sit on his cock, it was big and long and despite the several years you were together at the beginning you always had a little difficulty taking it.

“Such a tight pussy for daddy, isn't it? You always hold me so good.” Harry tells you, looking at the place where the two of you are connected.

When you sit on his hips, with his cock buried deep inside you, both of you moan enjoying this moment of intimacy.

After you adjust to the size of him you start to move on top of him, placing your hands on his pecs for leverage, but Harry takes your left hand and kisses your ring finger, where the ring is placed.

“You look so beautiful, riding me naked with just this sparkly ring. I still can't believe you said yes to me."

You smile at his words. “I will always say yes Harry, today, tomorrow and always”

He crosses your left hand with his, and with his other hand he takes you from behind the neck and dives on your lips, bringing you to a kiss full of love and passion.

He feels your hips start to slow down and he can tell you're getting tired, so he places your hips flat on the bed and meets your hips with upward thrusts.

You moan into his mouth in response, and he brings his hands to the cheeks of your ass, first leaving two smacks, and then taking a cheek in each hand and starts railing you harder.

“God, you feel so fucking good” he moans in your ear.

The sounds in the room were highly pornographic, the noise of your wet pussy being pummeled by Harry's cock was the only sound that could be heard, other than your moans and a few grunts from Harry.

“I feel your pussy squeezing me, are you ready to come for me love?” he tells you gently, a stark contrast to the thrusts inside you.

“Uh… yes, I need to come, make me come daddy please, I want to come with you” you whine.

“You know what the rule is, love, you come first. So come on, let me feel that pussy coming holding me so hard.

With three more thrusts from Harry you finally feel your orgasm hit you like a train. Your legs begin to tremble and you feel the muscles in your abdomen contract.

“Just such a beautiful girl, cumming so hard on daddy's cock. Do you want me to fill you with my cum? Is that what you want?"

You nod frantically as you catch your breath. “Yes daddy, I want you to fill me with your cum, I want to feel full.”

And so after a few more thrusts you feel Harry's hot sperm filling your insides, and you stop with your head on his chest listening to the pounding rhythm of his heart. Our breaths mix in a relaxed rhythm, as we enjoy the stillness after the passion.

“You are so special to me, Y/n,” Harry murmurs in a soft voice, his fingers gently stroking my hair.

I hold myself closer to him, his warmth wrapping around my body like a security blanket. “And you mean everything to me, Harry,” I reply with a tender smile. “I couldn't have imagined a better night.”

We get lost in our thoughts, relaxed and fulfilled by the deep connection we share. The air around us is filled with a sense of peace and serenity, as if the whole world had stopped to allow us to enjoy this moment of happiness.

With a delicate kiss on the forehead, Harry holds me even closer, and I close my eyes, completely immersing myself in the feeling of being loved and protected in his arms. In that moment, there is nothing but the two of us and our love, an island of calm and happiness amid the chaos of the outside world.
