I don't think anyone can adapt to something like that! I find it really difficult;; Everything I say in Japanese is really, really formal and awkward because I follow the rules exactly, so... orz;; :blood:

Well... I'm not entirely confident in my memory, but I do think that's it. I'll go check, just to be sure!

This says I'm right.

Nu (ぬ) is an auxiliary verb suffix in Japanese that turns a verb into a negative verb. It's similar to the -nai suffix that most beginning Japanese students learn, but it's much older and more rarely used.

So it's used in lyrics because it's shorter than nai, I guess :ayashii:

Well, surprisingly, my habit of being formal and polite transcends into English, too. But only when speaking to people I don't know. :sparkleguy:
