新年 (shin-nen) New Year
Tumblr media
The New Year's holiday is one of the most important times for Japanese people. It's a time to clean the house, make resolutions, forget the old year, and make a clean start.
The kanji should be pretty easy for Japanese learners:
新 = new (pronounced "a-ta-ra-shi-i" by itself, and "shin" when in conjunction with other kanji)
年 = year (pronounced "toshi" by itself, and "nen" when in conduction with other kanji)
Some other New Years vocabulary:
大晦日 = New Year's Eve (o-o-mi-so-ka)
元日 = New Year's Day (gan-ji-tsu)
元旦 = New Year's morning (gan-tan).
These last two are often confused, even by native Japanese speakers because they look so similar. A good way to distinguish them is to remember that 日 means "sun". The kanji for new year's morning contains 旦 which looks like a sun just coming over the horizon.

KOREAN & JAPANESE WORDS THAT ARE SIMILAR
I started learning Japanese a few weeks ago, so I really wanted to make this post. It's well known about Korea & Japan's past and the reason why they have so many things, not only foods + culture, but words that are similar.
💥I don't usually like to include romanization but for the sake of this concept being well understood by Japanese & Korean learners there will be romanization | romaji. Also there is audio included at the end.
LIST:
1. 도착 (到着 - とうちゃく) = Arrival, To Arrive
Dochak (tochaku)
2. 사진 (写真 - しゃしん) = Picture
Sajin (shashin)
3. 계산 (計算 - けいさん) = Calculation
Gyesan (keisah)
4. 선풍기 (扇風機 - せんぷうき) = Fan
Seonpung-gi (senpuki)
5. 텔레비전 / 티비 (テレビ) = TV - television
Tellebijeon / tibi (terebi)
6. 요리 (料理 - りょうり) = Cook, Cooking
Yoli (ryori)
7. 시간 (時間 -じかん) = Time
Shigan (jikan)
8. 솔직히 (正直 - しょうじき)
Soljiki (shoujiki)
9. 가방 (カバン) = Bag, purse
Kabang (kaban)
10. 기분 (気分 - きぶん) = Mood
Gibun (kibun)
11. 약속 (約束 - やくそく) = Promise
Yaksok (yaksoku)
12. 의사 (醫者/医者 - いしゃ) = Doctor
Ouisa (ishya)
AUDIO:
(starts with Korean and says 3 words at a time)

Here is my Oc's playlist
This was inspired by @Tokitou-Dulay20
This song describes Zaria's trauma when losing her family. I would call this " Zaria's 損失 Arc "
This is when Zaria was training to be a Demon Slayer and building up to becoming a Hashira. I'll call this " Zaria's Training Arc" or " Zaria's 訓練 Arc"
This is when Zaria and Muichiro fell in love and Zaria found peace. I will probably call this " Zaria's 愛する Arc"
All together I would call this " Demon Slayer, Solar Eclipse Arc" or "鬼滅の刃 日食編 "

生き甲斐 (iki-gai) “reason for living”
Tumblr media
Now in the Oxford English Dictionary, “Ikigai” is defined as “a motivating force; something or someone that gives a person a sense of purpose or a reason for living”
Whilst this concept has existed in Japanese culture for a long time, it was popularised by a Japanese psychiatrist Mieko Kamiya in the 1960s. 
More recently it has been introduced to the West by various popular psychology books.
What’s your Ikigai? ;)
