I have dwelled upon this earth for 42 years, 364 days and some hours. *20 minutes ago* I learnt that you can make Word auto generate furigana. You'll want to increase the default offset and crank up the character size a bit. thejapanesepage.com/furigana_in_...

This page will discuss how to add furigana in Microsoft Word 2007. Earlier versions of Word also have this feature and the setup may be similar as below. For those without Word, I believe Open Office ...

I guess I just wish I could help her somehow, but I just can't do anything right now. It's just a matter of being strong enough to get through the bad days for a better tomorrow, I suppose.

When she does reply she's stopped being affectionate and often doesn't respond to mine. This has always been a really bad sign in my relationships before so the anxiety is REAL. I anticipate things will get better as soon as I get back, but this wait is absolutely excruciating and unbearable. UGH.

I just feel so useless and it just seems my very existence seems to be a problem. She's been able to get out of these holes before but not this time. I'm very worried & the long periods of being left on read, despite understanding that she needs space, feel horrible & I can't get it out of my head.

I'm flying back to Tokyo in 10 days, which I'm glad about, but man, these few weeks away have been completely mentally/emotionally aggravating. Gf's always had separation issues every time I'd leave but this time is by far the worst, to the point where she's forcing distance via avoidance behaviors.

Yeah, it does play around with “Tori”, “Yama” and “Akira in the ED lyrics also, though a bit less wordplay and more subtle. But nonetheless such a nice touch. The imagery of the bird taking off too 😭😭😭

I wouldn't know the first way to make this apparent and localize well either, for what it's worth. I guess the best way is to just include the romaji lyrics in the subs...!

On the topic of Dragon Ball Daima again, the OP theme actually has a very direct "thank you" to Toriyama in these lyrics: 夢はTORIどり なYAMAない AKIRAめない Yume wa TORIdori NaYAMAnai AKIRAmenai SO LOVELY. The English subs make no attempt to handle this deep wordplay though. Understandable but a bit sad.

Yeah, Japanese summers do not mess around. I always advise my friends never to go then, ever. Especially this past summer was AWFUL. I'm glad it's started to get better recently.Yeah, Japanese summers do not mess around. I always advise my friends never to go then, ever. Especially this past summer was AWFUL.
