Mina-san, hanami is one of the most fun Japanese traditions! Unfortunately, the contemplative, peaceful hanami of old Japan has long been replaced with a last minute dash to find a good spot in a overcrowded parks where people start drinking in the morning, by lunchtime things get pretty rowdy and by evening… well, let’s just say few people remember what happened without the help of photographs.

いつ「あなた」や「君」の代わりに「おたく」っていうのが使っていいんですか。その二人の登場人物はどの関係がありますか。

Sounds like football game day at LSU.

What a beautiful photo! I was lucky enough to visit Japan last year during the Sakura season. It’s was magnificent!

>>>いつ「あなた」や「君」の代わりに「おたく」っていうのが使っていいんですか。その二人の登場人物はどの関係がありますか。

According to Sanseidou Japanese dictionary…
●相手の家・家庭・会社をいう語。
●ほぼ対等の、あまり親しくない相手に軽い敬意をもっていう語。

簡単に言うと・・・ If I can simplify,

あなた/anata— “you” in general. (Can not used to people who have higher social status)
君/kimi　—- used mainly by male speakers. Kimi can be used to people who have lower (or the same) social status .
お宅/otaku— used for people who have the same social status as you and who are not so close to you.

だと思います。

イントロはひどすぎる。日本語で　”in extremely bad taste” はどうやって言えば良いんですか。こういうイントロもうないかな。。。

”in extremely bad taste”は「趣味が悪い」です。
To be honest with you I agree with you 100%. We’ve decided to take off all these kind of intro.
