ノーミソ is 脳みそ（のうみそ）: Brainhenpai said:First is ノーミソ, I can find this used in a billion blogs and such, and I deemed this Japanese net slang for the moment... Does anyone know the meaning for it?
Secondly is just CP in the middle of Japanese text. It could be Control Panel in some places, but that wouldn't make the least sense translated here... An example:
(clip)
N: 「何にもできねーよ！！」 (in the meaning of "What did I do to you to deserve this?" as far as I can see)
Y: 「ホワ～イ？？ 恥ずかしがることないネ？」
Y: 「キミラノーマルで微妙にオフィシャルＣＰデショ？！ 人気ないけど...」

朝日影 is defined as morning sunlight in Daijirin and other Japanese dictionaries. So, WWWJDIC is right.J44xm said:Does 朝日影 (asa hikage) mean "morning sunlight" (as suggested by WWWJDIC) or "morning shade" (as suggested by my Random House dictionary)? If 日影 (hikage) is shade, I would imagine that my dictionary is right―and WWWJDIC wrong?!―but it could be idiomatic usage. Thanks for any help.
What is the usual word or phrase for it ? Asa no kou ? Asahi ? Asa no hi ?epigene said:朝日影 is defined as morning sunlight in Daijirin and other Japanese dictionaries. So, WWWJDIC is right.
Please note also that the term is archaic and used in poetry--not in everyday conversation.
It's "asahi" as in Asahi Shimbun.Elizabeth said:What is the usual word or phrase for it ? Asa no kou ? Asahi ? Asa no hi ?
Like Asahi beer as well, or to they use the other kanji for "asa" ?epigene said:It's "asahi" as in Asahi Shimbun.
I don't get what you really mean... :?Elizabeth said:Like Asahi beer as well, or to they use the other kanji for "asa" ?
Sorry for the confusion. I was remembering it as 旭、which is of course the full name, Asahi.epigene said:I don't get what you really mean... :?
Just joking? Or do you mean 浅 or 麻 ?
These characters are not relevant here, since they mean "shallow" and "linen/hemp", respectively.
BTW, Asahi Beer is written in katakana アサヒビール
The beer brewer was established in the Meiji Period as 朝日麦酒 and changed its name to katakana in 1989. (Useless trivia from a trivia freak...)

むげん (Mugen) and kanji 無限. He likes the first one better but I'm not sure if its right or not.
also a side question, whats the deal with the big fat empty dot?
and is it normal for guys to use watashi/atashi? i heard girls seem to use those more while guys stick to boku and ore
epigene said:ノーミソ is 脳みそ（のうみそ）: Brain
Standard Japanese words are frequently written in katakana for emphasis, suggestion that a speaker is imitating a Westerner, etc.
CP can be anything from "commercial paper" to "control panel"...
Among anime otakus, CP is used to mean "couple" or "coupling", i.e., one person becoming gf/bf of another.
There may a lot more uses of CP, especially if it is otaku jargon. That's all I know... :sorry:
pipokun said:When the original name of your friend is related to something like "eternity", yes, both are right.
If he/she likes Honda, the kanji, 無限 would be his/her choice, I guess.
寿限無 (Jyugemu), limitless/countless happiness, has a similar meaning and famous word in a traditional J comedy, rakugo.
寿限無寿限無、五劫のすりきれ、海砂利水魚の水行末、雲来末、風来末、食う寝るところに住むところ、やぶらこ うじのぶらこうじ、パイポパイポ、パイポのシューリンガン、シューリンガンのグーリンダイ、グーリンダイのポンポコピーのポンポコナの長久命の長助

I hope you guys don't think I'm rude! Could you possible tell me the best translation of Megan into Kanji? If it helps, the name means Pearl.
Thanks!
This is just a wild guess, but considering that the family name of the dojo in the anime is Kamiya, I think you are hearing "Kamiya-ryu" which means Kamiya style or Kamiya school of swordsmanship.Kaminari said:What is the word for school that sounds something like "komiya" or "kamiya" - Complete failure on dictionary searches in the broadest spread of possibilities I can think of. The word generally is translated as "style" in audio, but translation notes accompanying the Rurouni Kenshin DVDs have referred to it as being more properly "school."

多分[はち」は名前の場合以外は、別々に「に・はち・が・いない」とういうAlso, thanks for clarifying. For some reason I thought that it was broken up something like （に・はち・が・いない）^__^, which was confusing, since I didn't know what the はち was supposed to be.
