Japanese people are disordered.

I'm not even learning Japanese, but if you don't even know your particles correctly, it's time to quit. Not to mention Kanji.

I recommend you go read my post again. I know the correct particle to use, I typed the wrong one by accident because of it's pronunciation.

It's also time to quit defending yourself when you're obviously in the wrong.

How am I in the wrong? S/He's attacking me based on my knowledge of a language I've had very little time to deal with and S/He can't even read my message correctly.

Oh, and in a formal setting, you wouldn't use 僕. You would use 私.

Boku isn't informal.

No, it's really not. As I said, I literally learn this from a person who was born and raised in Japan.

Sweden is far superior

det här är sant c:
I love America for our diversity, people, music, and the fact that we're a cultural center, and on the other hand I also love Sweden for its architecture, its natural features (CLEAN AIR, GOD DAAAMN), and its people (notch yayayay)

Boku isn't informal.

Nor is it formal.

If the forums are a 'formal' setting, then you would use watashi.

If this is a class in school, you've had 4.5-5 months to learn it.

Unless you've skipped 95% of your Japanese classes, there is no reason to be at the level of fluency that you are at now.

No. There is worship. Hatsune Miku is a HUGE idol for girls in Japan.

Did you know that Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid is almost as popular in America as it is in Japan? Did you know the hologram concert was also brought to Los Angeles last year? Did you know that it was also brought to Chicago, and a few other cities not too long ago? Did you know there was a commercial for a Toyota vehicle in which Hatsune Miku did the background song AND made a cameo, in America?

"The entire culture is forgeted because some people like Hatsune Miku."

Sure sounds like stereotyping to me.

Who the forget is Hatsune Miku. [/Go rage at me]

It's a character of Yamaha's Vocaloid 2 software, which is basically just a program for making music.

You're assuming class dynamics that aren't there. We didn't even start learning Kanji until like a week ago when we learned stroke order and such for the days of the week. All classes since the first week have been on increasing our vocabulary to plug into a formulaic sentence structure. I'm not behind the rest of my class at all. You're a cigarette for trying to blame me for not knowing things we haven't learned.
Also, before you bring up me spelling wa as wa instead of ha, I never, EVER, type in Japanese on the computer. He made sure we knew how then never had us do anything with it.

"The entire culture is forgeted because some people like Hatsune Miku."

More like, "The entire culture is forgeted because Hatsune Miku is an extremely popular musical artist there."

It's not like Hatsune Miku is just some name a few people have heard of, she's an extremely famous idol and artist. And don't limit yourself to the word like. People are obsessed with her.

Hatsune Miku is not nearly as known in America as in Japan. People from around the US flew to LA to see the concert, that's why it was a success and moved to Chicago. I'm not saying there are 0 weird weeaboo forgets in America, there are simply way more in Japan because it's their culture. I did know that Hatsune Miku is a spokesperson for Toyota (a Japanese company).

Get a new teacher.

Otaku culture is mostly looked down upon in Japan, yet you're talking like every last person in Japan is obsessed with her. Even if they were, what difference does it make? What harm does it do? Obsessions with celebrities occur everywhere, so how is it any different when it's a fictional character? Obsessions exist all over the world for every interest you can think of.

Japanese culture is different from American culture. Different doesn't equate to bad. You're just being closed minded about it just because you have no interest in it.

weird weeaboo forgets

Sounds like you just hate Japanese culture just because you can.

Have you ever sat and wondered why people like her so much? For musicians, it's a great and simple way to get vocals on your accompaniment. It's a flexible program that almost anyone can use if they try hard enough.

A lot of Japanese people shun stuff like Miku. I'd say that her fanbase is nearly equal in America as it is in Japan.
