does anyone know any terms for songwriting or literature in Japanese?

i came across a post that mentioned one that described flowery language that was advanced level, and the music they used was i think yoiyoi kokon or mafumafu...? or both?

i’m only in awkward beginner-intermediate stage rn but a lot of my favorite JP musicians are ones that use flowery language so i want to remember the term so i can study that form of writing toooo

thank you even if you only read!!!

～ながら、・・・ (...while~)

ます steam + ながら 見ながら while watching / watching s.t. while doing s.t. 食べながら while eating / eating while doing s.t. 話しながら while talking / talking while doing s.t. Example sentences １．テレビを見ながら、昼ご飯を食べました。 (I) watched tv while I ate lunch. ２．夕飯を食べながら、おしゃべりました。 (We) ate dinner while we chatted. ３．話しながら、働きます。 (I) talk while I work. ～ながら can ONLY be used when talking about YOU yourself doing something while doing something else. It CANNOT be used when talking about doing something while someone else is doing something. In that case you would need to use, N + の間に V dic. form + 間に V てform + 間に い adj./ な adj. + 間に ((That’ll be a different post)) Depending on how well this post goes, I will make more. I’m only covering things I have already studied / know. Please correct me if I am wrong or add anything that would be helpful!

こんばんは　みなさん！

Forgot to do a post earlier today, but I reviewed the vocab list for みなのにほんご and watched the grammar lesson! It went over some new things that I don't think I remember being much in detail in Genki, like S1 ですか、S2 ですか。As well as a more in-depth explanation of N1のN2。

A lot of videos I've seen about the best way to integrate the language into your life suggest actually using the phrases - be it in your head or out loud - when they would apply. I think I'm going to do this as well, but it's gonna take a bit of throwing away the idea that doing so is "cringe" and "something weeaboos do". I'm doing it to help me learn a language, not because...whatever those reasons are lol.

じゃあね！
