Lyrics of Creepy Nuts have dialects ～Interesting similarity between Creepy Nuts and Mary Poppins～

 

introduction

Hi! I am Japanese.　I’m sorry that I am not good at English very well.

 

I like Japanese Hip-Hop unit "Creepy Nuts" very much and I like musical movies too.

 

I started to listen Hip-Hop music because of I started to like Creepy Nuts.

I thought that it is very interesting Hip-Hop song's lyrics make a rhyme.

The lyrics of Japanese songs often do not rhyme. But, almost Hip-Hop song, even if Japanese Hip-Hop songs, rhyme a lot.

 

 Japanese Hip-Hop songs' rhyme surprised me, "What interesting things Japanese and words are!"

 

R-shitei (R-指定 さん)  who makes Creepy Nuts' lyrics is like a great magician of words, creating words with rhymes, double meanings, triple meanings, and even more meaning. 

He always manipulate word freely.

 

By the way, R-shitei was born and raised in Osaka prefecture. Osaka is the area which has distinctive dialects. It is called Osaka-ben（大阪弁） or Kansai-ben（関西弁）.

（Osaka-ben means the dialect of Osaka. Kansai-ben means the dialect of Kansai. Kansai(関西) means the area which contains Osaka and Kyoto and so on. Kansai-ben conteins not only Osaka-ben but also other dialects of Kansai area. (Johto region of Pokemon is inspired Kansai) ）

R-shitei often uses Kansai dialect or Kansai accent in his lyrics.

iOS18 of Japanese version is not still fixed a bug occurred for years

I am Japanese live in Japan.

 

I update my iPhone's OS to iOS18.

 

Unfortunately, the bug occurred since iOS15 is not still fixed.

 

The bug is that.

In "Mail" app pre-installed on iPhone,

when we write a sentence once, save it as a draft, edit it further, and save it as a draft for the second time onward, line breaks are added at the top.

 

This issue doesn't happen when I save draft for the first time. The blank line appears after when I save draft the second time onward.

 

Every time I save a draft for the second or third time,

the line breaks increase by one or two lines.

If I repeat editing and saving of sentence, a lot of blank lines are made!!

 

The similar problems are reported in the Japanese Apple community, and I have reported it to Apple Support several times, but there has been no fixed yet!

 

I use email of iPhone a lot, so it's a small thing, but it's really bothersome bug.

 

 

 

I hope it gets fixed soon! ! !

 

Mail app of iOS18 of your country, is there this bug?

 

Thank you for reading!

 

 

 

I, a Japanese who have Switch and SteamDeck but don't have PS5 wonder if I should buy PS5 Pro

PS5 Pro has been announced! ! ! !

 

I have Nintendo Switch but don't have PS5.

Last year, I bought "SteamDeck" which is portable gaming PC.

 

I wanted to play PlayStation games that I can't play on Switch, such as Detroit: Become Human and Marvel's Spider-Man,

so I decided to buy  PS5 or  SteamDeck.

I bought SteamDeck instead of a PS5 because I was attracted to the good points of SteamDeck  that I can lie in bed gaming.

 

I'm very glad that I bought SteamDeck. But I was so enthusiastic about Marvel's Spider-Man and I had a strong desire to experience all the features of this game.

 

SteamDeck is very good  for playing games simply, but once I want to more function, SteamDeck is a little unsatisfying!  Let's buy PS5! !

With that in mind, I decided to buy PS5 someday. 

 

However, I got information that "PS5 Pro might be released", I waited and saw. Then, in Japan, recently, the price of PS5 had increased! !

 

When the price of PS5 increased in Japan, I thought I'd buy it not pro, but it was sold out everywhere and I couldn't buy PS5, so I thought, "Okay, I'll get the PS5 Pro", so I waited until today.

 

The announced price in Japan is about 120,000 yen! ! ! ! !

It's too expensive for me!!

 

And PS5 Pro doesn't heve Discdrive.

 

One reason that I want to PS5 is "I can watch 4K UHD Blueray Disc on PS5".

 

For me who not only wants to play games but also want to watch 4KUHD, a disc drive is a must-have item, and it currently costs about 12,000 yen at the Sony Store, so if I buy PS5 Pro, I would need about 130,000 yen. ! ! !

 

It's too expensive, and I'm currently hesitating, thinking, "Maybe I should buy PS5 not pro about 80,000 yen, or  I might as well put in the effort and get a Pro not to regret later.

 

On the internet, many Japanese say PS5 is a little too expensive.

In your country, PS5 is expensive or reasonable?_

 

Thank you for reading!!
