Ter Voland wrote:Hope y'all are doing well! I know that new year's resolutions are viewed as mostly jokes but I actually took mine from last year seriously. I'm pretty happy that I was able to keep mine on learning Latin. I'm at chapter 10 in Lingua Latina by Hans Orberg. For this year, my new year's resolution will be to learn Japanese along with Latin. Would be nice to understand vocaloid without looking up translations. I'm currently reading Genki. If any of y'all are studying Japanese, I'd appreciate any tips.

I wonder how hard it is to make Miku songs in Latin haha. Would be awesome to translate some songs once I finish Lingua Latina.

頑張って!応援するから! That is an impressive resolution, all the best. I've studied Japanese for thereabouts of 5 years and am able to speak a limited amount of Japanese casually.

If you are studying via a book, don't. At least until you're off the basics (N5). The reason is, I consider it tantamount for a beginner to familiarise themselves with the writing system and pronunciation of Japanese. It will help a lot if you have a solid foundation!

In the meantime, try as soonest as you can to move away from Romaji towards Hiragana. Use Anki or one of those apps to try mastering the Gojuon (the alphabet). After that move to mastering Katakana. With the alphabet down, then you can try for a class or one of those online classes like Dogen's.

Once you're comfortable with several phrases, try finding Japanese YouTube channels on a topic you are familiar with AND one of those daily channels, you can use the former to help you contextualise terms and get some association learning.

Then try to spread your wings on social media or the sort where you can interact in a way or form with native speakers. Of course ideally it would be to have Japanese friends or visit Japan.

I'll be honest in my first year of studying Japanese, a family trip to Japan worked wonders on pushing me forward in my Japanese.

What I can say for sure is this, don't be ashamed to try, and try again!

Greetings fellow Neo Otaku Utopian! Don't think I've introduced myself to you. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! I'll take your advice into account. Yeah I could see why visiting Japan would help a lot. I've seen quite a number of videos on Japan, mostly from TheJapanChannelDcom and Ericsurf6 on youtube and it would be nice to visit sometime.

It is time my fellows $GME🚀🚀🚀💎✋

I accidentally stumbled into tricking my bank to absorb my purchase for the GoodSmile Racing 2020 Racing Miku Nendoroid because I purchased the item twice, canceled the first one, and my bank removed both pending purchases on their end. Now it’s shipping to my location.

Nevermind they charged me. Thankfully I had funds.

That's a cute Miku nendo.

It’s home, but I’m not at home right now. I’ve heard the stickers suck but I shall see for myself.

The stickers did not suck.

Also it’s one month until the “official” Miku day (3/9)

The space program of Hatsunia began in 1952 with the Negi series of suborbital sounding rockets launched from Negishima Space Center in Minamikushi Prefecture. Professor Hidemi Utagawa led rocket engineering efforts at the time, while rockets were manufactured by Mikubishi Heavy Industries. After the launch of the first satellite Sputnik by the Soviet Union, the Hatsunia Aerospace Science and Development Agency (HASDA) was established on 1958-10-19. The agency launched its first satellite, HATSUNE (High Altitude Test Satellite Utilization Near Earth), on a Negi-2B rocket on 1960-08-31. Afterwards, Mikubishi would develop the M-1 rocket derived from American Thor missile technology.

Being part of the victorious Allies in WWII meant that Hatsunia's aerospace industry was not Linkrestricted by treaties. Hatsunia's industrial base had remained intact after the war, although it did not have as much resources as the USSR or US. Therefore, it initially did not participate in the race to send humans to the Moon. Instead, HASDA would primarily focus its budget on exploring the Solar System with robotic probes, as well as creating communications networks and observing Earth. HASDA's first astronaut, Yuzuki Morita, was launched in the Utahime space capsule on a M-1A rocket on 1970-09-12. Investment into the space program also Linkmotivated the development of the computing industry.

As of 1989, the probes of HASDA have orbited and landed on the Moon, Mars (and its moons), and LinkVenus, orbited Jupiter, and flew by Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Halley's Comet. The crewed Saki spacecraft had also been introduced (a flat capsule for 3 people shaped like the mountain it is named after) in this decade, while Hatsunia's first prototype space station "Yume" launched just recently. The workhorse launch vehicles at the time were the larger M-2 and M-2A rockets and the smaller M-1B rocket.

HASDA would later construct the space station Mirai in the 1990s. After the development of the partially reusable vertical-landing rocket M-3 to reduce launch costs, it would eventually launch its first crewed mission to the Moon (Kaguyahime-01) in 2001, more affordably compared to NASA's Apollo missions. By 2007, an even larger and fully-reusable rocket known as Mikumaru would be developed. This would lower launch costs significantly such that a crewed Mars mission could be performed, and larger Linkspace stations as well as Linklunar bases would be built by the end of the 2010s, with over a million people visiting space Linkevery year.

(see Linkthe wiki for the current status of the Hatsunese space program)

Have you watched any tutorials?

Probably just you. Looks great, I like her outfit.

Updated my flag based on the color scheme of Miku NT. The inner ring will be a burnout picture of the previous week’s NASCAR Cup race winner.

Those colors are #f243b8 & #11add5.

What everyone be doing for Miku Day?

Thank you, and do share your art once it's done! Every effort for Miku brings her to life to yourself and another around us in my book.

I'll be using this chance to further promote my Hatsune Miku playlist on Spotify as it's my goal to create a proper compendium of Hatsune Miku's songs on Spotify for everyone's convenience, and being more active on Twitter as I appreciate and RT amazing content made for Hatsune Miku for Miku Day.

I'll probably be letting my social circle know that it's Miku Day.

Also I'm looking forward to reaching 1 billion citizens in The Society of Hatsune Miku, and officiating the state religion for Hatsune Miku :)

I'll be sure to post it here! Thats a great plan. I would like to listen to that playlist. It'll be nice to hear new stuff as I have a bad habit of listening to the same stuff lol. I'm also on Twitter (@Farnetus). Congrats on the milestone!

I've followed you on Twitter! @Nagatake_ you can find my playlist for Hatsune Miku pinned on my profile if you're interested! P.S. it has more than 2,000 songs and counting!

Oh neat. I consider this a “holy week” kinda, so I’m wearing a Miku shirt every day of the week, and tomorrow I wanna dye my hair cyan in celebration.

Truly a holy week. A Sabbath of Thanksgiving to the greatest virtual singer everyone will hear. Miku Day is keeping me going in spite of the omega crunch I'll be facing at work.

Lucky for me I only work Wednesdays Fridays and Sundays.
