Yaten's Love Song - NOTES
Story Notes
Shinsei means "new star" in Japanese.
Gender pronouns don't mean much when relating to the Starlights, but "it" sounds bad. So just pretend they're neutral. I used male pronouns almost exclusively, even in Starlight form, for reasons discussed in the 'fic.
My apologies for the lack of accents on french words.
Itabashi Saki is the photographer in episode 185.
Ganbare means "do your best" or "try hard."
Moshi-moshi means "Hello?" like you say when you answer the telephone or
are trying to get someone's attention.
"Ara" is a mild exclamation of surprise.
"Ikenai" means "bad" or "wrong," literally "don't go."
"Doshite" (also spelled dooshite/doushite sometimes) means "Why" or "How".
"Omae-tachi" is a very informal way of saying "You guys..."
"Ano" = "um.."
"Gomen Nasai" = "I'm sorry" (kind of formal)
That's all the cultural notes for now. I didn't want to interrupt the narrative for them. There will be a quiz afterwards.. jes' kidding! Enjoy...
