New Langblr

Hello I'm Ali/Flower! Also know as Sunflowerfriend-01. Sunflowerfriend-01 was my main blog up until a couple of days ago when It got unexpectedly suspended. It's ok I was thinking about making a separate blog for a while now just for JP related topics. My other blog was a mess of everything lol. I love the Langblr community so I am happy that I made another acount today. maybe someday I'll get my other account back IDK. But anyway よろしくお願いします。

75 Fluent Challenge!

I started the 75 fluent Challenge! I want to be more structured in my study and keep myself accountable. I want to get back to studying since I am on my break before starting up my Bachelors. I graduated in May with my Associates.

I feel kinda rusty with speaking and writing (typing lol) so I want to get back to that. I wont be 100% everyday or even most days due to chronic illness but i'll try.

to help with japanese immersion, i made an alt account on youtube to try and trick the algorithm into thinking im a native speaker. on my original channel, all i see are videos *teaching* japanese but nothing to actually practice on. to do that, i:

Use a VPN to set my location to Japan

create a new account, setting Japan as my location

go to youtube and look up some basic things in japanese (音楽、料理、ゲーム) and try to avoid anything aimed at western audiences.

It's been interesting, but also it feels like defusing a bomb to keep a japanese feed. It feels like if I'm not curating every single video I click, and deleting videos off my watch history, youtube's big "YANK ALERT" alarm goes off and annihilates my feed with english videos

May 16, 2026 (progress)

I pretty much didn't study all day because I was laid up in bed due to health issues. Then later in the evening, had a short study session with my buddy. We basically did only shadowing/listening videos.

I then realized that I hadn't done any SRS on Renshuu today and I didn't want to lose the streak I am currently on, so I basically grinded through all of the Kanji for about 1.5 hours (I think?). Went from N4 review -> N1 learning all the way through. The good part is that I have very few N4 and few N3 kanji to review now. No vocab today!

I think I will go through all the pending vocab tomorrow to make up for it. I'm just too tired to think too hard on it right now, since for vocab the lists have close to 1000 pending to review at the very least, let alone learning new terms in N2 list.

☆ visual kei word of the day ☆

Today's word is kind of random, but looking it up the meaning made me happy so here you go. The word is 輪 (rin).

Meaning: in this context it is a counter word for flowers (and also for wheels), other meanings are wheel, ring, loop

Grammar note: Japanese uses different counter words to count different kinds of objects, oftentimes it's based on the shape of the object so you can count umbrellas, bottles, pens, cucumbers and some fish using the same word - 本 (hon). The most broadly used is the 一つ (hitotsu),２つ (futatsu) kind, you can enumerate pretty much anything this way.

Lyric: 地獄に咲く一輪の花 (jigoku ni saku ichirin no hana) a single flower blooming in hell

(apparently 一輪 (ichirin) can also mean full moon, and less surprisingly one wheel)

Song: 激白 (gekihaku) by THE MADNA

ことわざ 21/?

ことわざ are Japanese proverbs, and I have listed some basic proverbs, their equivalents in English, and a rough translation of the meanings of the Japanese phrase.

There is a test for ことわざ called the ことわざ能力検定 (ことわざのうりょくけんてい) and these are some of the phrases that appear in level 8 or 8級 (10 being the lowest level). Try one or two of these out the next time you speak with a native Japanese speaker!

Additional ことわざ (こと検8級): 19 | 20 More ことわざ (こと検9級): 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 Even More ことわざ (こと検10級): 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

渋味 (shibumi) "elegant simplicity"

渋味 (shibumi) is a word which is a little difficult to translate directly. It's more of a vibe than a meaning.

My dictionary says: "austere elegance; elegant simplicity; subdued style; quiet taste; refinement".

It's also the name of a Florence-based men's fashion boutique, where this artwork is displayed.

This was my very first commission.

You may have noticed that the first kanji 渋 (shibu) is written a little differently in the photo. This is a more complex obsolete form which is rarely used in everyday life, but is still used by calligraphy artists. The only time I've seen it in "real life" is on the front of a 1920s train in a museum. The train was for 渋谷 (Shibuya).

Big fan of a micro genre of video game that I like to call "Shintoism Simulator" .

Broadly speaking it comes in two flavors, playing as the actual Kami, or as a Miko/ Demon Slayer.

Seeing if this post will reach anyone who can (and wants to) help me translate these stickers from Japanese to English ☺️

I got some of them already using my Hiragana & Katakana syllabary charts and messing around with the Japanese keyboard on my phone. But the more complex characters I have no idea how to find.

It's been a fun project but I've probably done all I do 😔

DM me for more photos.
