This is great information for those who are new to anime/manga, Mena.

I'm also glad that you included a great definition for bishounen because many girls are confused by this word. A lot think it means "handsome guy" or "cute guy", but your definition is correct.

Speaking of the J-Pop one where you listed Morning Musume...omg, that group is so stupidly huge! All these girls with no point in being in it....there's like....10 girls or something.

And I bet they all sound alike too.

It's also good that you listed gaijin too because Westerners who go to Japan can sometimes be called that behind their backs and they won't even know it.

The ever popular snack Pocky...became even more popular when the 2001/2002 anime Onegai Teacher! (Please Teacher!) came out. They have wonderful flavors now...much more than when I was a kid!

Six terms I'd like to add:

Hajime mashite (ha-gee-may ma-shee-tay): "Nice to meet you"

Kuso/Kuzo (koo-so/koo-zo): "Sh*t/Damn"

Tankouban (tahn-ko-bahn): Weekly manga magazine which features stories of different currently running mangas (for example: Hana to Yume (Flowers and Dreams) has: Fruits Basket, GodChild, Sequence, Hitsuji no Namida (Tears of the Sheep), etc.) Usually b&w and in the front, has photos of great merchandise that you can win from the featured mangas (stuff ranges from cell phone straps, keychains, plushies, etc.). There's also a free gift included sometimes. It's the size of a telephone book.

Bakemono (bah-keh mo-no): Ghost/Creature/Monster

Onna (oh-na): Woman (can be used politely or rudely)

Otoko (oh-toe-ko): Man
