I need help finding guitar tabs of japanese artists. Unfortunately I have no idea what keywords to use when I search.
would anyone happen to be able to help me finding guitar tabs? I can't for the life of me, find the japanese word or phrase used when refering to guitar tabs.

You can google with:
ギター (guitar)
タブ譜 (tab)
邦楽 (Japanese music)
j-pop
I checked and found it pretty difficult to find. Most were available commercially only. But, there should be some, since my son did find some when he was in high school...
Good luck!

I don't know that kind of "race" it is, but "dorobo neko" is a "thieving cat" and "ma-onna" is a woman who comes between lovers and takes away the guy. So, Sari-chan is being accused of taking away someone's boyfriend or spouse.
HTH!!
Thanks. I thought "thieving cat" but I didn't know if any such thing existed. Also, any reason why "ma onna" can't be found in any dictionary?
Thanks, Miki-san

The word in the dictionary is "ma-otoko":

excite.co.jp/dictionary/japanese_english/?search=間男&match=beginswith&block=66097&offset=1406
"Ma-onna" is just a variation of this word usage.:

:Okay, a couple of my friends are arguing over the meaning of the last line here:
Girl: ヘーキだてば
Girl: もう 照れない照れない
Guy: なっ。。。。！
Girl: だってキスすると大人しくなっちゃうんだもん
I guess we can't decide whether the girl is talking about herself or about the guy in the last sentence. So she's either complaining about the guy being too docile/not aggressive enough when they kiss or she's saying that she becomes docile when they kiss.
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks, Miki-san

Hehe, this little gem almost got away unnoticed. 'Ai no nai kankei ni okeru' sounds pretty good, although it may be a tad too direct ("eigo no chokuyaku de, nihongo de wa fushizen ni kikoeru" (?))Elizabeth said:
And now I have one as well. Are there any expressions that have the same meaning as kikibae (no aru ongaku) meaning 'music that is pleasing/pleasant to the ear.' but are in wider usage ?
耳に心地よい音楽 is the limit of my current knowledge....

Hi gang!
Just a little grammar question! I know that you can use the -masu stem verb form (sometimes called the 'connective form', I think) to make a noun out of a verb and it can also be used to connect sentences (amongst a few other things). My question is, when should you use it as a connective? What difference does it have from using -te?
Thanks everyone. You're ace! ^^

Hi! Could anyone help me with these few words? . Does anyone know the difference in meaning in the two words souhou or kanaderu? I know they both mean to play (an instrument), but what, if any, difference is there in the precise meaning? Also, I don't really know much kanji, if either of these words contain kanji, could someone type/write it out for me?
Now for another kanji question!
In the word tsumabiku ( I think that's written つま弾く please correct me if I'm wrong), meaning to strum (a guitar) , does anyone know the meaning in the kanji that appears in the latter half of the word?
On a final note, if anyone knows any other Japanese words relating to playing an instrument, please let me know , thanks in advance!

As far as playing an instrument that you blow air into, e.g., flute, trumpet, oboe, etc., the word you'd use is 吹く (fuku)(literally, to blow air into).
For pianos and organs, 弾く (ひく) is also used. This kanji can also be read "hajiku" (to pluck)
引く is used mainly for stringed instruments.
For drums, use "tataku" 叩く . to beat
For anything that you shake, e.g., tambourine, use 振る (ふる), literally, to shake.
What other types of instruments are there? If I left anything out, do let me know.
Hope that helps.

Ed-e,
You asked about the difference between;
"Shimbun o katte, yomimasu." (buy a newspaper and read it)
and
"Shimbun o kaimashite, yomimasu."
Technically, both sentences are correct. However, the first example is preferred. As strange as it sounds, the ~masu at the end of the sentence makes the whole sentence polite. The second example, although technically correct, is considered "too" polite and completely unnecessary.
