But yet not. *grins* Anyway, it seems pretty self-explanatory that the gogo formerly known as gogochan is now gogosama . Why?

My story's infinite, like the Longines Symphonette, it doesn't rest )

friends, gogod, aziraphale, good omens

I am completely clueless to these sort of things - what is the difference between chan and sama? What do they mean?

Birdhouse In Your Soul (TMBG)

Thnxxxxxx for the MP3!! Yay! Am going to be listening to this all weekend. Gogo needs some little birdhouses to stay happy and sane during the Thanksgiving holiday. Le sigh.

Ok, "chan" and "sama" are Japanese titles. In Japanese, titles are added to the end of a person's name, rather than before it. So Ms. Gogo would be gogo-san. "San" means Mr., Mrs., and Ms.

"Chan" is kinda cutesy, something you'd say to a verrry good friend, a younger relative, or a child. It can be a cute term of endearment.

"Sama" is a title of respect. It's the equivalent of sir or madam or "your honor" or "your excellency." ((Bruce Wayne is definitely a sama.)) So, gogo is being rather snooty by referring to herself in such a manner. Also, it's not proper to refer to oneself with a title or honorific, unless you're making a joke. Which gogo kinda is.

Does any of that make sense??

Also, am happy to give you an MP3 or two in return. What kind of music to you like? Want a Japanese pop song since we're talking about Japanese stuff??

It was no problem to upload the MP3! Enjoy. I listen to anything, really, so if you want to upload something Japanese that'd be cool. Broaden my horizons a little. :D

Thanks for explaining! That makes tons of sense. I had heard "chan" used a little before, but didn't really know what it meant. And I definitely didn't know what "sama" was. But it was super easy to understand, thanks.

Sure! You have a little brother, right? If you wanted to be sweet to him (or tease him), you might call him nii-chan (nii means brother). A male peer (we'll call him Dude Smith) would be Smith-kun (you wouldn't call him Dude or Dude-kun unless you were really tight friends, or you felt like being disrespectful.)

Hmm, gogo will upload a few songs you might not have and will PM you the links. Probably won't get to it until later or tomorrow, tho.

xoxo

Not Japanese music, but... gogo_ergo_sum November 28 2008, 09:02:23 UTC
There's some interesting tunes HERE.

Various rock song that remind gogo of Dante Sparda, one of her fave characters ever. This isn't a fanmix, just a collection of songs that get the Dante muse flowing when gogo wants/needs to write him. So, have some White Zombie, some Elvis re-mix, some N.E.R.D., some Basement Jaxx...

Enjoy~

((Oh, some are MP4's, because that's how iTunes sells them. So, if you don't have an iPod or iTunes, they're not gonna work))
