I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

This is the best website anyone has ever shared.

japanese learners/japanese speakers, is there any solid dictionary that i can use to look up words? like larousse for french, is there any websites/dictionaries for japanese?

the most popular online english-japanese dictionary is probably jisho.org. its front page will tell you what it can do, but it will likely have any basic info about a word you would want.

i use the app version of this which is useful, but jotoba also has a website version and the only notable difference is that it makes the pitch accent info more visible.

and honestly you can stop reading here, those two are probably all you really need if you just need a good dictionary. im going to throw in some more useful resources in case you (or anyone else reading this) are interested

weblio (the english-japanese dictionary) is extremely useful for example sentences and looking up phrases.

weblio (again, but this time the japanese-only dictionary) is also very useful if youre more advanced and can read definitions for japanese words in japanese.

コトバンク (kotobank) is probably the best and most popular online japanese dictionary, but only also if you're able to read japanese definitions.

kanjialive is a useful kanji dictionary that is meant for english speakers to understand.

漢字ペディア (kanjipedia) is the best kanji dictionary that native speakers use, but you also need to be able to read some japanese to understand it.

and im not sure how to link these but it's extremely useful to get a browser extension where if you gloss over a japanese word it will show you its definition. some popular ones are rikaikun, 10ten, and yomichan. i'd recommend downloading one so it makes things easier to look up, especially when starting out

Stealing this for my language learning propaganda. Learning a little bit of a language — dipping your toes in, exploring — it’s worthwhile :)

Concepts of Each Sword According to the Touken Ranbu Movie’s Stunt Coordinator

(This is a summarized translation of “Keypoint 3: Action” in Ginmaku no Touken Danshi, the behind the scenes special of the Touken Ranbu movie. The comments were made by Hibari Daisuke, the movie’s stunt coordinator.)

♔ Mikazuki Munechika - Fights with grace and beauty. His movements are akin to Nichibu (which, according to Wikipedia, “refers to a few dance genres such as kabuki buyō performed in theatre, and Kamigata mai that encompasses the style of dancing performed by geisha .”). And even when he’s in a pinch, he still seems like he’s got a handle on the situation.

♔ Yamanbagiri Kunihiro - Has a sword and a metal scabbard; He’s not exactly dual wielding but he could cut down enemies with his sword and use his scabbard to deal a blow. Some Battoujutsu (a combative quick-draw sword technique) was also incorporated into his fighting style.

♔ Yagen Toushirou - He’s a tantou so he’s a close combat fighter. He gets into his opponent’s space to take them down. His actor is very nimble, so the coordinator gradually added in more soaring jumps to being out more of his potential.

♔ Fudou Yukimitsu - He’s done somersaults and aerial stunts before, so the stunt coordinator incorporated the stunts the actor could do, and some moves similar to Druken Boxing but for a tantou.

♔ Heshikiri Hasebe - At first, the stunt coordinator had a totally different image in mind for Hasebe. Given the sword’s lines (“Oshikiru!” or “Pressure slash!”) and history, he had pegged Hasebe as the epitome of a Japanese period drama (Jidaigeki). When he first presented his idea to his actor, Wada rejected it, saying, “This isn’t what Hasebe’s like. He’s more cavalier, like a knight.” So he decided to rethink the concept. It didn’t feel enough to just make Hasebe’s moves knightly, so he incorporated so Chinese-style sword fighting into Hasebe’s repertoire, and he whirls his sword round and round as he fights.

A road name and a sign that says “the same in swedish”.

(Many road names in coastal Finland have swedish names too as Finland is a bilingual country.)

😍😍😍

The Finland one is someone having a sense of humour and committing to it: white signs with black text like the top one are street name signs, but black signs with white text and the arrow bit are pointing to public services or companies. So either someone has a company named Samma på svenska or at the very least they’ve invested in a sign that says so.

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.
