不気味女。怖い映像

2009-04-03T04:47:00.000-07:00

I am always looking for scary or interesting stuff on YouTube. Doesn't matter that its most likely fake and - most of the time obviously so. It's the inspiration I am looking for. And I learn so many cool words to arm myself with. My conversations often end up with the following kinds of 言葉

Here are some words I liked from the above video;
不気味 - Eery, Ominous
赤ん坊 - baby
必死 - desperate
響く - sound
発見 - discovery
血液 - blood
泣き声 - cry
事実 - truth, fact
不穏 - ugly, unsettled, turbulent, uneasy

And here are some more I think should be added;
嘘 - lie, false
影 - shadow
姿 - (persons) figure, shape
殺人 - murderer, killer
屍 - corpse
死体 - dead person

And finally, What I have to add is for the most part inrelated to the above video.
落ちる is to drop
散る is also fall, but I have heard it used for flutter
飛び散る is to fly, splash or splatter.
Like an exploding person or zombies parts would.

Last word for you.

肉塊 - にくかい - used to describe those pieces of flesh.

肉塊が飛び散っている
lit. Pieces of flesh are flying.

Nice.

Taking this blog up a notch

numbers

I direct you here;

Japanese Fonts

2009-01-12T23:06:00.000-08:00

ここに日本のフォントがある。よろしければ、使って下さい。普通、大文字、色々あります。

とは？Quick tip!

2009-01-05T08:39:00.000-08:00

When searching the web at somewhere like, lets say... www.google.co.jp とは is super handy.
「とは」の意味は「what is?」と近いと思うです。

For example when googling for moon in English, you will get a heap of 'man in the moon' pics while in Japanese おもちを作るウサギ絵が出ます。This is obviously handy.

What is the moon?
月とは？

あれ？おれは月は知らないの？あんたは馬鹿？！？。。。とか。。。

始めましょう！
