Brief snippets on what my friend wrote about Hey! Say! JUMP LIVE 2019 in Taipei Day 1
- HSJ sung some of their songs in Mandarin !
- The 1st MC the group did was entirely in Mandarin which for a Japanese that's not an easy thing to do especially when comes to pronunciation
Unlike Japanese where it's monotone , Mandarin has various ways of saying different words no thanks to Hanyu Pinyin
Example San
In Japanese - it means 1 meaning
In Mandarin - infinite meaning , it can mean 3 , Umbrella & etc in Mandarin context depending on how you pronounce it
- Chinen cajoled Yamada to say in Mandarin that Yamada is Chinen's wallet
Yamada responded back to Chinen in Mandarin , no he's not & instead he's Chinen's bank
In this context it means Chinen is forever broke & is always lending $ from Yamada
