Yoona: I can’t really participate in the lessons at the office very much. So, I’ll tell you in the future. My favorite Japanese is “Doki doki” and “Arigatou gozaimasu”. (Note: “Doki Doki” is the sound of your heart beating and “arigatou gozaimasu” means “Thank you.”)


Oh, YoonA likes a Japanese word "doki doki" :)

The girls' songs often use *onomatopoeia* in the most effective way in their lyrics.
You guys all know;

Girls: Doogeun Doogeun Doogeun Doogeun
YoonA: Doogeun Doogeun georyeo bameh jamdo mot eerujyo

(from "Gee")

They often use a Korean onomatopoeia "doogeun doogeun" just as in "Gee" above.
The Japanese onomatopoeia "doki doki" has exactly the same meaning and usage as "doogeun doogeun".
So YoonA can sing Gee as;

Girls: doki doki doki doki
YoonA: doki doki georyeo bameh jamdo mot eerujyo

when they are in Japan. :)

But ummm can't people just cut a song and make it their ringtone? >.>

People living outside Japan may wonder why Japanese people don't create ringtones from song files (like MP3)
and set them on their cellphones themselves.
It's because most cellphone models made in Japan don't allow users to do it.
Most models don't accept user-made sound files as ringtones and they only accept the ones downloaded from official ringtone sites.
It's quite inconvenient, but they are making cellphones in that way for the purpose of copyright protection and their *ringtone business*.

In Topic: [OTHER] Umeda Erika's Blog - Now I Did It!

14 June 2010 - 09:56 AM

Wow, you even translated Erika Umeda's blog post. I can imagine your struggle for translating her confusing Japanese.
It's a little hard for even Japanese people to understand her *gal-language* lol

She is talking about her "Ameba *now* debut" = "She newly started to use Ameba blog's *now* function",
not talking about her debut as a singer or an actress.

Summary of her blog post; She hadn't known how to use Ameba *now*-function until recently but she started using it yesterday.
She declared she would post a lot of messages by using that function from now on and she asked readers to keep up with her rapid posting.
Also, she mentioned she would read comments posted by all of you readers for her posts. She said it's fun reading those *posts and comments* conversations.
Finally, she went out wearing SNSD socks. (She felt as if she gained power with those socks on.)
