This is the site I've been leeching lyrics off of.

I sort of started a LITTLE bit of omoide in my head.

I've known about that site for a while. I guess I thought everyone else did, too.

oh my

if i recall there was a site with some tabs too, or maybe that was zazen boys : /

Haha. Oh wow.

Apparently "omoide in my head" is "thought in my head," according to that site.

Frustration in My Blood is calling for a translation. I'm sure everyone agrees on this.

[quote="Thinliine"]- Inazawa isn't our favorite drummer's real name; it's apparently 鰰澤亜人, or Hatahatasawa Anin. I'm probably romanzing that wrong, it may be Hatahata Sawaanin. I'll let the Japanese experts figure that out.[/quote]

Inazawa Ahito [i]IS[/i] his real name. The individual characters within Japanese names can be pronounced many different ways, and often times names themselves use unique readings or even readings that are obsolete by hundreds of years, except when used in the context of names. Sometimes Japanese people don't even know how to pronounce other people's names just from seeing the characters. In this case, it looks like the kanji used for Inazawa are especially obtuse, but it is Inazawa.

*slap*! Of course, 亜人＝ Ahito... but no matter what I do, I can't get the other characters to show Inazawa. Oh well.

I wonder why the Japanese Wikipedia article said "real name"? The Katakana would still be his real name, just rendered differently. Who knows.

A point of mild interest.

Around the time of the Samurai in Japan, Japanese Buddhism began to move away from it's Heian form and morph into a more democratic, inclusive form known as Pure Land Buddhism, or Amida Buddhism. This form oriented around Amida Buddha of Everlasting Light, a previous incarnation of Siddhartha Gautama.

In short, he grants enligthenment to those who live a good life and call out his name, chanting, "Namu Amida Batsu." (Num Ami Dabutz lol)

I know Grey sorta touched on this, but I found an explicit root for it, so I thought I'd mention it.

I've read about this before. Mare and I were sort of talking about that the other day.

Yeah, we covered that in my East Asian History up to the 1800s class, last semester. We heavily covered Buddhism in both China and Japan, so that was one of things we looked at.

I'm surprised Culen even bothers to talk about them too.
