English

How many times can I wipe away my tears if my feelings well up?
I want to tell you, my words will probably get through.
I get mad at someone, something
because there's no way out.
Any number of times, any number of times, any number of times
I'll start to call out
your name until my voice gives out.
It's regrettable and painful.
I'll hold on, there's no other way this time.
I'll remember you
10,000 times is no good, and I'm getting completely exhausted.
10,001th time around, something might change.
The times I speak of you, I really want to convey these words.
Tears can escape and spill out in large drops.
I let only sadness have control
because I was laid to waste.
Any number of times, any number of times, any number of timesI'll start to call out
your name until my voice gives out.
I fall into despair and my willingness is about at bottom.
I can't hold on this time、I remember you.
10.000 times is no good, each one's bad.
10,001th time around, something might change.
I face the past, I cling to the past, my heart is tearing.
I'm not giving up. Cry out!
Any number of times, any number of times, any number of times.
I'll start to call out
your name until my voice gives out.
It's regrettable and painful.
I'll hold on, there's no other way this time.
I'll remember you.
10,000 times is no good, and I'm getting completely exhausted.
10,001th time around, something might change.
I remember your song.
Beyond this, too, I stumble, you hurt me, I hurt you.
No end, no place, even anger
Because your embrace isn't quick enough.
Why don't you understand? Why won't it reach you?
Because I'm gasping in sorrow, I try to fight with myself.
10,000 times is no good, my wish comes true.
10,001 time around, you're here.
I call out to you. even though the power of my voice has gone out any number of times.
Tomorrow, the 10,000th time around, maybe.....

Kanji

こみ上げてくる涙を 何回拭いたら
伝えたい言葉は 届くだろう?
誰かや何かに怒っても
出口はないなら

何度でも何度でも何度でも 立ち上がり呼ぶよ
きみの名前 声が涸れるまで

悔しくて苦しくて
がんばってもどうしようもない時も

きみを思い出すよ
10000回だめで へとへとになっても
10001回目は 何か 変わるかもしれない

口にする度 本当に伝えたい言葉は
ぽろぽろとこぼれて 逃げていく
悲しみに支配させて ただ
潰されるのなら

何度でも何度でも何度でも 立ち上がり呼ぶよ
きみの名前 声が涸れるまで

落ち込んで やる気ももう底ついて
がんばれない時も きみを思い出すよ
10000回だめで かっこ悪くても
10001回目は 何か 変わるかもしれない

前を向いてしがみついて
胸掻きむしって あきらめないで叫べ!

何度でも何度でも何度でも 立ち上がり呼ぶよ
きみの名前 声が涸れるまで
悔しくて苦しくて がんばってもどうしようもない時も
きみの歌を思い出すよ
この先も躓いて傷ついて傷つけて
終わりのないやり場のない怒りさえ
もどかしく抱きながら

どうしてわからないんだ? 伝わらないんだ?
喘ぎ嘆きながら 自分と戦ってみるよ
10000回だめで 望みなくなっても
10001回目は 来る

きみを呼ぶ声 力にしていくよ 何度も
明日がその10001回目かもしれない

[English translation:]

In the direct middle of the flowing season

I suddenly think of the length of the day

In the midst of these busy days

I draw a dream of you and me

Sending (my) thoughts on the March breeze

The Sakura blossoms will take us to spring

Tiny dots of light overflow our way

Bit by bit warming up the morning

After a huge yawn

I blush a bit, laying by your side

Standing at the entrance of a new world

The thing I realised is I'm not alone

If I close my eyes

You're still there on the other side (of my eyelids)

I wonder how strong you've become

And I want to be that same way to you

The windstorm that sweeps up the sand

And knots up all the hanging laundry

The white moon in the morning sky

Is somehow nice, it had me hypnotised

Things can always go wrong, but

If you look at the sky, it seems so small

The blue sky always seems so well-put-together

The puffy pillow-clouds are moving along

As long as we all share the joy of waiting for the flowers to bloom, it'll be fine.

From here on, side by side

With a gentle smile

If I close my eyes

You're still there on the other side

I wonder how strong you've become

And I want to be that same way to you

[Kanji

]流れる季節の真ん中で
ふと日の長さを感じます
せわしく過ぎる日々の中に
私とあなたで夢を描く
３月の風に想いをのせて
桜のつぼみは春へと続きます

溢れ出す光の粒が
少しずつ朝を暖めます
大きなあくびをした後に
少し照れてるあなたの横で
新たな世界の入口に立ち
気づいたことは1人じゃないってこと

瞳を閉じればあなたが
まぶたの裏にいることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私もそうでありたい

砂ぼこり運ぶつむじ風
洗濯物に絡まりますが
昼前の空の白い月は
なんだか綺麗で見とれました
上手くはいかぬこともあるけれど
天を仰げばそれさえ小さくて

青い空は凛と澄んで
羊雲は静かに揺れる
花咲くを待つ喜びを
分かち合えるのであればそれは幸せ
この先の隣でそっと微笑んで
瞳を閉じればあなたが
まぶたの裏にいることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私もそうでありたい

So, what a heck do you want (Yeah)
Who the hell do you wanna beat (Ay, yeah-yeah)
I know it's hard to realize
That we already got everything we need (Ay, yeah)

Flower festival, summer festival
You can pick whatever you want
And have 'em bloom in your heart (Aye)

Autumn, festival, winter vacation
Now, break open your closed heart
Break open, break open
Let's go

Festival, festival
Each day is a beloved
Festival, festival
Every little thing's gonna be a big hit
You're not better or worse than anything
There's no such thing as winning or losing

No, hell no!
I really couldn't care less
Let me do whatever you want me to do
I don't give a flying monkey
Let me do whatever the heck you want me to do

Because I cried so hard
Because you laughed out loud
Summer heat burned our bodies out
Fierce winter froze us to death

If I could keep myself calm no matter what
Could I have gone straight there
Aight, it’s never too late to start over
Aight aight aight aight

Flower festival, summer festival
Those who are being born, those who are dying
It all happens at the same time
Autumn festival, winter vacation
Now let’s embrace it all and just dance

Festival, festival
Each day is a beloved
Festival, festival
Very grateful for all that’s happening in my life
There are no reasons to suffer
No need to be disappointed
No, hell no
Ooh, festival, festival
Every day is a beloved (Yeah)
Ooh festival, festival
Very grateful for all that’s happening in my life
There’s no reason to suffer
No need to be disappointed

No, hell no
I really couldn’t care less
Let me do whatever you want me to do
I don’t give a flying flamingo
Anyway it’s all worth celebrating

[English translation:]

Just how long
Do I plan to be all alone?
Hating myself more by the minute
Envious of other people

I've loved a lot so far
Persuading myself
By saying, "Someday, someday"
And I am now, too

Make me hope
That this crush bears fruit
Bit by bit, bit by bit
I'm in love right now
Cradle my naked heart

Bye bye, sweet memories
And lofty aspirations
You made me a little bit kinder
Guess you made me stronger too

I accepted the future for what it was
No matter how it would turn out
I've made it through a lot of nights so far
And I am now, too

I have no idea, no idea
Where this crush will lead
I'm just going to go
And tell you how I feel now

Back then, and that one night too
I felt like
I shouldn't have fallen in love
I'm in love again right now
Make my naked heart tremble

Make me hope
That this crush bears fruit
Bit by bit, bit by bit
I'm in love right now
Cradle my naked heart

[Kanji:]

いったいこのままいつまで

そして今も

この恋が実りますように
少しだけ少しだけ
そう思わせて
今、私　恋をしている
裸の心　抱えて

バイバイ愛しの思い出と
私の夢見がちな憧れ
優しくなれたよ　少しね
強くもなれたみたい

どんな未来も
受け止めてきたの
今まで沢山夜を越えた
そして今も

この恋の行く先なんて
分からない　分からない
ただ想いを
今、私　伝えに行くから
裸の心　受けとめて

恋なんてしなきゃよかったと
あの時も　あの夜も
思っていたの
今、私　また恋をしている
裸の心　震わせて

この恋が実りますように
少しだけ少しだけ
そう思わせて
今、私　恋をしている
裸の心　抱えて

Learning Japanese through anime and jpop music! Reading Hiragana letters for absolute beginners

For a lot of people, the idea of watching anime without subtitles or listening to Japanese music in Japanese and fully understanding is a huge motivator to learning Japanese. And if you watch enough anime with subtitles you will actually pick up a lot of fun phrases (hayaku! baka! tasukate!) but the real magic will happen when you learn a few letters and start understanding how to read or at least recognize characters. It will inevitably open doors to learning and understanding more so the dream of enjoying Japanese culture like a native can be achieved. In this series, an Otaku learning Japanese from anime & music must learn to read or else… Hope you like it!

Episode 1

Learning Japanese with Anime has never been so much fun! This Japanese for Dummies lesson will have you read Hiragana in no time! In this one our otaku adventurer encounters a random akuma threatening to eat his bunny Pedro Pascal. Will he be able to teach you あいうえお in time or will it be BUNNY STEW FOR DINNER?! #anime #hiragana #japaneselesson #comedy Hiragana is the first Japanese writing script that kids learn in Japan! Even 4 year olds typically know how to read and write it, so we definitely got this!

Episode 2

In this episode, Otaku dreams of his lost friend Pedro Pascal, the bad bunny. It seems that the last lesson was not enough to appease the demon. He tries to cheer himself up with Utada Hikaru's Flavor of Life but overwhelming feelings take over... In this lesson you'll learn かきくけ and こ

Learning Japanese through music is really fun too! See below for easy to learn music:

Archery and Community with Culture Toronto

by SB

As nearly 40 people gathered at our first target shooting event at Battle Sports Inc, a long time partner, it became clear to me that Culture Toronto is about community and being part of a big family, not just a one off interaction. So many friendly faces came out, anime heads like Elissa, videogamers like Jonathan who brought his friend with the good aim, old university buddies like Arshad and Vedran, martial arts heads like Fayez and Jean-louis and their wonderful families, and many unexpected pros and joes that came to try their luck at archery.

For me archery is something that’s beautiful to include in your life. There are traditions in every culture, from the Egypt to China and everywhere in between. It’s a method for war, but in times of peace, there is always value in continuing to shoot - whether to strengthen your back or just to work through the act of aiming for a goal and then making making adjustments until that goal is achieved.

The Ways We Celebrate The @Raptors' Legendary Win NBA Finals 2019 @KardinalO @champagnepapi @arashmadani

by SB

Up to the East Conference win and in the NBA finals, we held our breath and saw win after win for the Toronto Raptors in astonishment. The Drake curse turned into a blessing, Kardinal Offishall remixed a song and a mini Drake performed for Drake himself at the nba finals.

In Toronto, as this article gets written, Queen’s “We are the Champions” blasts as the Toronto Raptors sit center stage in Nathan Philips Square. Trudeau, their coach, Ujiri - they’re wearing shades and just singing along as thousands watch in person and thousands more stream online. What will you remember from this epic moment? How will you celebrate?

These are the top 5 celebration moves we saw during the NBA Finals 2019

1.Kardinal Offishall remixes the 2011 anthem to include lyrics about the Raptors

2. Drake releases 2 songs in honour of the Raptor victory over the Golden State Warriors the day after winning.

3. Little Drake performs for big Drake

4. The Official Parade in Toronto

5. Jeremy Lin highlight reels

6. That tear jerking “what will you remember” video by STV

Is HEMA a sport just for white people? No, but it can damn well feel that way! Racism in The Hema Alliance

by Sharifu

My first encounter with Hema happened in Toronto at the Fighting Arts Collective. I called a man named Brian McIlmoyle and asked if my colleague and I could come in and see what it’s all about and produce some articles and videos to promote their group. It was an experience that I look back fondly on and while I don’t think we were mature enough to deliver the content they should’ve received, I will forever tell the story of their generosity in showing me what they learned from Fiore’s manuscripts. Ralph was full of childish glee learning and I’m glad he was happy in the end. They are for the record, very serious and take their work of resurrecting a broken art almost religiously. Broken art? Unlike Kali, where the art has been unbrokenly passed down in a chain through families etc, European Sword Fighting or HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) have not been unbrokenly passed down according to my knowledge, hence the need to look seriously at manuscripts by teachers like Fiore.

One encounter I’ll never forget is with the owner of 3 turrets armoury. A God fearing, Christian man met with me about making a website. He ended up giving me gauntlets for my mom and I to finish. I cherish them today still and value them at about $1000 easily. Anybody who puts them on …. is filled with power lmao #highlander #therecanonlybeone 1 joke, that’s it, I’m done.

Gauntlets for life!

3 Turrets, if you’re out there and need that website, I’m here!

So what’s with this title if I have so much love for HEMA, it’s schools and it’s practitioners? Well every time I say something in their forums I always get punked off. Is it my name? Is it because I’m sandy in colour rather than bleach white? I’m not unreasonable or stupid so to me, that leaves discrimination as an option. AN option.

“What did he say?” you might be wondering. Well first, lets talk about why I visited their forum in the first place. I have recently really enjoyed learning Kali with my Kalis Illustrisimo instructor Archie Luz. The pre-Magellan people that inhabited today’s Philipines were not big on armour. They beat Magellan carefully though, not easily:

For me, these clashes of culture are exciting. I don’t want a single drop of bled shed from now until the end of time, but as a martial artist I want to know about strategy and everything about battles. My friends who spar with me using silly rubber knives in Kali like to go for my eyes though. And because I own a few pieces of nice armour, such as this scale mail, I wonder if there’s something a little better than goggles that will fog up. I began thinking of metal with holes, and then realized that I can’t be the first one to think like this. Fencing masks are too bulky for Kali. You’d have to train Kali to understand if you’re a HEMA person.

Anyways I stumbled upon these Die Mensurbrillen goggles. Imperial Germany was a beautiful time, a proud time. These men would fence with REAL swords using just these to cover their heads. Clearly they favored maneuverability and speed to bulky fencing masks. They wore their scars proudly! Schmiss! That’s a strike that results in blood and scarring. The mask is silly at first, then cooler and cooler in my mind. ..

I didn’t know the name of these, nor did I know where to find them, I just at least wanted to see the price if not buy one for myself :) But as I asked harmless questions I was met with well… “what happens when you aren’t white and ask HEMA guys for answers online” - I will say that the people that were rude are obviously noobs - insensitive noobs though are the worst. Quick to judge, quick to assume, and they never qualify what they say.

I’m writing this article because I’m bothered by the online HEMA community. They are a breeding-house of alt-right types. And I have no idea to fix it. I’ve been banned from The Hema Alliance on Facebook.

Here is the entire conversation from start to finish with a few silver linings from friends made along the way. I don’t see HEMA becoming more than an old whiteman’s club and something tells me that’s exactly what they want! This isn’t a letter of hate. This is a letter of disappointment.

There are people addressing this, and I quote:

Btw I do not know, if you already know it. But to adress the issue that neonazi or right extremists could undermine the HEMA, several years ago the loose community of FAR - Fighters against Racism was founded, which many popular HEMA instructors joined or support. At least for the European community of HEMA I can say that this topic is treated very sensitive

martial arts attract often sort of radical people. The average neonazi brawler will more likely join a MMA or Boxing club, but the more secret, intelligent right extremist will more likely join a HEMA club.

Will I forever be outside to you though my face is your mirror?

when can I play too?

Cold Iron is Master of Them All, Barbs of Feathers

by many

Cold Iron 

GOLD is for the mistress - silver for the maid" -
Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade! " 
" Good! " said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of them all."

So he made rebellion 'gainst the King his liege, 
Camped before his citadel and summoned it to siege. 
" Nay! " said the cannoneer on the castle wall, 
" But Iron - Cold Iron - shall be master of you all! "

Woe for the Baron and his knights so strong,
When the cruel cannon-balls laid 'em all along; 
He was taken prisoner, he was cast in thrall,
And Iron - Cold Iron - was master of it all.

Yet his King spake kindly (ah, how kind a Lord!) 
" What if I release thee now and give thee back thy sword? " 
" Nay! " said the Baron, " mock not at my fall, 
For Iron - Cold Iron - is master of men all."

" Tears are for the craven, prayers are for the clown
Halters for the silly neck that cannot keep a crown." 
" As my loss is grievous, So my hope is small,
For Iron - Cold Iron - must be master of men all! "

Yet his King made answer (few such Kings there be!)
" Here is Bread and here is Wine - sit and sup with me.
Eat and drink in Mary's Name, the whiles I do recall 
How Iron - Cold Iron - can be master of men all."

He took the Wine and blessed it. He blessed and brake the Bread
With His own Hands He served Them, and presently He said:
" See! These Hands they pierced with nails, outside My city wall, 
Show Iron - Cold Iron - to be master of men all. "

" Wounds are for the desperate, blows are for the strong.
Balm and oil for weary hearts all cut and bruised with wrong.
I forgive thy treason - I redeem thy fall 
For Iron Cold Iron - must be master of men all! "

'Crowns are for the valiant - sceptres for the bold!
Thrones and Powers for mighty men who dare to take and hold!' 
" Nay! " said the Baron, kneeling in his hall,
" But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of men all!
Iron out of Calvary is master of men all! " 

Names of Famous Swords through History, Barbs of Feathers

by many

*********************************************

A rapier named Needle for Arya Stark

A longsword named Longclaw for Jon Snow

A twin tipped sayf named Zulfiqar for Ali

but a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies

Another longsword named Excalibur for a king, Arthur in England

Another pair like Musashi named Colada and Tizona for El Cid Campeador in Spain

but a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies

Kusanagi-no-tsurugi (grass cutting sword), originally called ame-no-murakumo-no-tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds in Heaven) in Japan, owner unknown

but a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies

Charlemagne's Joyeuse in Ardeche and Durandal for his paladin Roland. A Song for Roland, angels delivered it.They might as well have.

Legbiter for a viking king Magnus II, ivory hilt

but a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies

Shamshir-e-Zomorrodnegar, for the persian legend Amir Arsalan. He was a traditional and ate no pork. A horned beast Fulad-zereh has skin invincible to every other karambit knife.

King Solomon's jinns made it carefully, carefully guarded by the same beast.

It also nullified the evil eye of enemies.

but a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies

And Wallace's sword for FREEDOM! FREEDOM!

He led a resistance against the English during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Prima Nocte burned his blood when they came for his wife after his wedding night.

But even still, a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies

Marie Kondo greets their living rooms, folded hands in knees, and jaws drop in adoration. They didn't see how Muhammad named every thing he owned. You're never lonely among friends.

al-Ma’thur, also known as “Ma’thur al-Fijar” came before verses in Mecca. Al-Rasub was a sword reserved by Sherif's cousins in the topkapi museum.***

Al-Battar was another sword that means "sword of the prophets" and it's inscribed in Arabic the names of David, Solomon, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Muhammad. It also has a drawing of King David when cut off the head of Goliath to whom this sword had belonged originally.

a ninja knows tools are as dead as enemies - Musashi wrote it in his Book of Five Rings, preferring the art to dead art tools.

Muhammad knew swords are as alive as enemies, thirsty.

Sherif has many teeth swords. A Narwhal rapier lance named Long Tooth is almost as tall as he is, 5"6 - a blunted dagger with inscriptions that remind of Al-battar. Let’s not forget the replica of Longclaw by Jay Joo, a skilled blacksmith.

"But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of them all." cackles a dragon named Daniel Parent, sky blue in scale color, echoing the Kipling society.

Aladdin’s commentary:

*** Look at Prophet Muhammad's sword almathur - how he would have adored the serpent's / dragon's jeweled eyes. Did you even know him? Does any of us? How he named it and cherished it and prayed with it kept close, how angels would have been near guarding it. How jinn would have wanted to destroy it. What do you know about him really? Many think that Islam is anti-art. Did they not see Solomon and how he used a powerful jinn army to make statues and basins and art?
