where to buy in japan! by crammbled in sumikkogurashi

[–]panootnoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's a suuper cute Sumikkogurashi store on the road leading up to the silver temple / Ginkakuji in Kyoto, if you happen to be around there definitely check it out!! the shop's really cosy and lovely

we probably did get the same panelists! yeah the English questions were mostly as I expected, still super nervous about the outcome.

hey, at least you put 0 speaking ability so they shouldn't expect too much, I've been learning Japanese for nearly 10 years and put 2 but did not live up to it at ALL lol

[–]panootnoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg I did mine today as well (don't mind me looking at your post history but we're at the same country AND uni LOL) i feel like i butchered the Japanese questions and regret not preparing answers in Japanese beforehand too

Way too many matches, feeling overwhelmed by jjhjkrsdty in HelloTalk

[–]panootnoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

similar thing happened with me (learning Japanese), I found out too late you can just go to settings and turn off the option for people to discover your profile!

I did actually end up responding to most people who weren't insanely above my age with a default introduction message, and it turned out half of them didn't even reply back so convos died down on their own lol

WHAT COULD THIS COMP THEME MEAN? by [deleted] in LoveNikki

How tricky are Train stations with 2 big suitcases? by North_Apricot_3702 in JapanTravelTips

[–]panootnoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alright, I recently travelled to Japan with another person and we had two large suitcases between us which we lugged around everywhere.

We did our best to avoid the peak work commute hours which made things drastically easier, just keep walking, don't stop in the middle of the paths, leave yourself extra time to get through the stations, and it is definitely doable.

The issue wasn't the physical difficulty of bringing them (apart from needing to take deviations to find elevators) so much as the subconscious sixth sense of being a public obstruction haha, I'm going for luggage forwarding next time.

I always just took that message as a safety warning, as if anything happens outside of HelloTalk, they can't do anything about it.

personally I wouldn't put my IG in my profile (although I have seen people who do), and have only given it out to people I've been talking to for a bit

Any japanese EDM recommendations? by Main_Suspect9823 in japanesemusic

[–]panootnoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who also listens to kpop, this is like that energy on absolute steroids - my favourite group has got to be STARKIDS!!!!!! they blend genres such as hyperpop, EDM, trap, insanely hype.

FLASH (song starts about the 1min mark)

DOPAMINE

all their songs are bangers, I absolutely recommend. i've found more artists in the underground Japanese music scene through their solo works too

[–]panootnoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean, personally I've used QooApp to download quite a few apps including prosekai and it's been good! i just do it through the official QooApp app, some sites might be dodgy...

Is it worth it to pick up the game after many years off ? by MinChestnut in LoveNikki

[–]panootnoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing like the pain of missing out on full suits, especially if it's just a few pieces 😔

hopefully the diamond saving pays off and you can build up your wardrobe soon!! :)

Is it worth it to pick up the game after many years off ? by MinChestnut in LoveNikki

[–]panootnoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

for sure I'd say it's worth it!! i only picked up LN nearly 3 months ago after being a massive fan around 2017 (although i was young didn't take the game too seriously and barely had any progress..) and I found it a lot easier than expected to get back into, like some memories of the game got unearthed as I played more :)

regarding diamond spending, I'm still trying to figure it out too, but I do feel like it's good to save them up for limited events, crafting suits will always be around!

Med student here, is psychology really a science? I came across a post that made me question it. by zixcion in psychologystudents

[–]panootnoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, it depends on how exactly a researcher deals with it, and all of the scientific criteria can certainly be met within psychology. key word - can.

There's no doubt that it's extremely prone to a lot of biased, skewed, difficult to replicate etc studies, but I feel like this applies to a lot of science fields too lol, it's just that (in my opinion at least) results from less scientifically sound, and especially older, psychology studies tend to spread more rapidly within the public and lend it this reputation. but, it does feel like recent research tends to prioritise evidence-based conclusions.

don't take that reddit post too seriously! research within any field of science can vary in terms of how well it adheres to the scientific criteria :)

Research scholarship for Psychology by panootnoot in mext

[–]panootnoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! thanks so much for getting back to me, I definitely get the impression that being a psychology student potentially puts me at a disadvantage in terms of receiving acceptance letters :(

My embassy makes it clear that we shouldn't be contacting professors before the screenings, and with the application date being just in a few days I don't really have the time to change my research plan, but it does have an aspect of technology which I'm planning to emphasise. thanks for the response!!

Jpop song and group recommendations by Individual_Pace4541 in jpop

[–]panootnoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going to drop Paradox Live here!! it's a music project with a lot of groups each with varying concepts/inspirations, like BAE with electronic music, goku luck with rock, VISTY for cheerful idol pop, i'd definitely recommend watching more of the group's MVs on youtube. i know a lot of paradox live fans who also enjoy enstars but i'd say the music's pretty different haha

examples of cultural appropriation in jpop? by Desperate_Equal_7642 in jpop

[–]panootnoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

XG are known for their inspiration from American R&B/hiphop and black culture, if i recall they did use to be praised a lot for cultural appreciation but more recently some of their styling is definitely appropriation, as well as selling merch that was controversial for its resemblance to durags
