Does Ayumi curse?
 

It just came across my mind one day. Is our little Ayu a potty mouth? :innocent (Not extremely, but in general.)

who knows....? she could be cursing all over the place when she's away from the media...:innocent

ARE there curse words in the japanese language, because i thought there weren't?

who knows lol

actually , who do japanese people curse ? do they have a similar 'all-around' curse word that can be used pretty much anyway you like , like the f-word in english ? how are curse words in general in the japanese language ? :P

The only curse word that i've heard in anime and such is "damn".

That's true. I mean how are we supposed to know?

The curse words I've heard in anime are damn, hell, b**tard, b**ch, ass, and I guess that's it.

I meant in general like small words like double hockey sticks. :yes

I don't believe cursing is a part of Japanese culture the way it is in the West. So most likely no.

There are ways of disrespecting or insulting another person, but I don't think they have all-purpose curse words.

Everybody curses. :shrug

oh you just dont know muahahaha i use them sometimes

Erm... The curse words you hear the most are k'so(damn or shnit) and shimatta(damn it). I think they're both pretty mild, though. I hear k'so A LOT. Also, chikushou, but I've only heard that one once. Maybe it's a little more offensive?

As far as I've heard, I've never hear Ayu curse. Though I'm sure she does. Most people do, even if it's just a little. ^.^

Yeah one thing that made me wonder was when I watched a clip of CDL 04-05 when she forgot the words to Trauma (it had subtitles) and she yelled, "Darn it!" But I can understand that because there may be some "younger fans" in the audience. (<-- whoops, I almost capitalized that whole word. tehe)

Robots don't cuss, so I think it's obvious that Hamasaki has never cussed in her life. KTHNX!!!!1111111oneoneoneonefive

not true lol..i dont curse...me a good girl haha...but really i dont..if i want to insult you i could do it with other words instead of cuss words

but i bet ayu lets some slip...

I'm sure she does every now and then. It really depends on who she hangs out with - if they curse, then it's likely she curses occassionally as well.

I'd like to see that clip of Trauma at CDL04~05.

There are plenty of cursewords in Japanese. But they are most often seen in manga and anime, and are not used in real life very often. You'll hear certain words. But really, "baka" (idiot) is used as an insult, though sometimes playfully.

But in front of a camera? I doubt it. That's really tacky, Japanese, American, whoever.

As someone mentioned before, there is no real concept of cuss words in Japan in the first place. There are rude words for sure that have their place, but it's not regarded as like "OOOOOOH, you said the ______ word!!" I hear rather crass words like 'kuso' or 'bakayarou' in like--little kids anime and other things that aren't directed at older people necessarily. The reason why they translate 'kuso' to like '*****/damn' in dubbed anime or whatever is because Americans think that sounds more badass and cool than literally 'poop/crap'XD

how should we know. and even if she does she'll probably keep it private and definitely wont start cursing on stage :P

well I've seen the subbed version of Kamikaze Girls and at one point Momoko's father is cursing (at least according to the subs) rather hard. :shrug

:P

She wore a shirt that said...

***** you or something like that, it had the F word on it.

not everybody

agreed!

^disagreed lol ^_^ I agree w/ Neo Daydream :yes

She probably didn't know what it means. Anybody who's not fluent in English can easily make mistakes like that ;)
