Translating & Exploring the best, and worst, of Japan.
Focusing on Japanese media, social media, music, movies, books, people, and products.
I love Japan. Maybe you do too.
So, you might be interested in my translations of texts from Japanese. I take a special interest in left-of-center Japanese music and lyrics. A lot of these I’ve put on the Japanoscope Youtube channel, with performances of the translationed songs.
In the process of learning Japanese and translating stuff, I’ve also put together a list of some of my favourite Japanese language learning resources.
There is also a bunch of features on here about Japanese Products, including Japanese gift ideas including Japanese Gifts for her, Japanese gifts for him pages, gifts for sushi lovers. You could find a Naruto Hoodie for the anime lover, or a Kotatsu for the, um, floor heating lover.
My aim here is to go deeper than than just “Samurai and Sakura blossoms”.
I love Japan. Maybe you do too.
I also have a Podcast presenting different Japanese Translations
