I don't provide a legend or translation because my opinion is this: if the Japanese insert is one that forces the reader to scroll down to figure out the meaning instead of deriving it from context, then the Japanese text doesn't belong there.

I usually dont go for fics like those (hell I'm not even reading nowadays), but there are certain words that are seemingly understood or known to the mass Jpop fans.

But as you said, it's another user who tells you that right? I'm sure the author would have apologize for not thinking ahead that you wont understand and explains to you.

That other person is really rude, but that's reality. They assume everyone should know what they knows... when others dont, they go bitch about it. That's really hurtful somehow. Hope you get over it, b/c these people dont deserve you to fuss over.
