50 Members! And Other News!

Sun Feb 7, 2010, 7:44 PM by ~Dessii

The group got its official 50th member one hour and five minutes ago!

caught it, so I'll be updating the next Yokai Attack! submission, which will be sometime after school tomorrow. Anyways, congrats, ~Paperdoll422.

I won't make you all wait for another fifty members to submit again, but I'm thinking every five members I get, I'll upload something. Does this sound fair? Because we get about five members a week, usually more.

Also; The option to tell us how to improve this place, AND what "poll-journal" question to ask next, is still open. We already got our next question lined up, I'll be releasing it sometime...not now. So think of another good one, related to Japan!

Thanks for all the support, by the way, that you've all been giving the group, too!

has been a wonderful member, and

got us our next journal question thing. Plus, she was our first affiliate. ^^

If you wanna be featured in a journal like those two, then you have to get involved with the group somehow.

By the way; our new affiliates:

I'm willing to affiliate with ANY manga fanclub of any type, because it's Japanese. Even if it has very little relation to the club, if it has the hint of Japanese correlation, let's affiliate! So! If you own a club, and you want to show it off, send us a comment. Or make some suggestions. Or, don't do anything! Either way!

Ja ne, happy...Sunday night~

Kuchisake Onna - Yokai AttackPronunciation: (Koo-chee SAH-kay Ohn-na
English Names: "Slash mouthed woman" "Slit mouthed woman"
It is feared by schoolchildren as a cold-blooded predator with a mouthful of fangs and the ability to outrun a motorcycle. In fact, accoring to one source, 99% of Japanese children claim to be familiar with the general story.

It appears to be a normal young woman, but a surgical mask covers a horrifically oversized mouth that stretches from ear to ear, filled with far, far too many teeth. It is nearly always encuontered in cities or suburbs, and, unlike many other yokai, often appears during daylight hours- Kuchisake Onna - Yokai Attack

My sister beat me to the bathroom, and SHE (Shi, 4) was taking up all the time that I needed to get ready for school. After I pounded on the door nonstop, she told me to GO (Go, 5) away. I got mad, and got a ROCK (Roku, 6) and threw it at her when she finally came out. My Numbers

How To

How to Say the SyllablesAllright, now to learn how to pronounce the separate syllables in Japanese words.
The vowls are "a", "i", "u", "e", and "o".
"A" is ALWAYS pronounced "Ahh". There is just no other way. No matter what, that is how it's pronounced. Example: "Denwa". It's pronounced "De n wah". If you pronounced it "De n way", or any other way, it wouldn't be the same word.  "Denwa" means "telephone", by the way.
"I" is pronounced "eeee", or pronounced in the same way as "eels". This is also the only way to say this letter. Example: "Dekimashita". It's pronounced "deh key ma shi tah". If you were to pronounce it " How to Say the Syllables

UPDATING YOKAI ATTACK! AS SOON AS I CAN! I got home really late tonight, the night I was supposed to upload, so right when I get home tomorrow, I'll type really fast for you guys. Sumimasen!

No new Japanese words submissions anytime soon, the big packet I recently submitted is what we'll be working on for a while now, in class. Unless someone would like to submit for us, there'll be nothing new except the Yokai Attack! series I'm working on.

Be sure to add the group's icon somewhere on your deviantArt profile, pretty please? And suggest this place to all your friends!

Working on typing up Yokai Attack! works. Mmm, Japanese monsters and ghosties and ghoulies!

We recently got our first affiliate, but the more, the merrier! Any suggestions?

No problem, you don't have to add anything if you don't want. I just thought it might be fun to read through a couple of the deviations, if you get bored or something. No one but I ever updates, it's quite allright.

Ohhhh, I see! Gerard Way is the lead singer for the band My Chemical Romance, and Billie Joe Armstrong is the lead singer for the band Green Day.

I suppose GACKT is a good band, huh? Do you have a favorite song? I'd like to check them out sometime.
