Welcome Meruru to Utada Net forums. It's nice to see there are fans of Utada Hikaru from all over the world. I guess you could say her music is universal. Anywho, enjoy it here and happy posting!

They are similar, but many people argue whether or not it actually does come from Portuguese. It would be cool if it did!


Indeed! And arigato is not the only one, there are a lot of japanese vocabulary very similar to portuguese words. I just never heard anyone contesting it...I even learned it from my History books! The Portuguese were the first ocidental people to get to Japan. There were lots of examples in my History book... many words they use are "engrish" versions of portuguese words. I think the word "tea" itself comes from the portuguese itself. "Ocha" in japanese (I think) "Ch?" in portuguese. They even have their own version of a cake we have here named "P?o-de-l?", named "Kasutera" in japanese, similar to our "Castela". Also, we taught japanese people Tempura!

Yes, you're totally right, all thanks to trading, centuries ago! There are even some famous japanese paintings and descriptions from the day the ocidental men (Portuguese sailors in this case) stepped on the japanese islands. We were portraied and viewed as smelly people with HUGE noses!!

Oh, my mom is Portuguese! She came to America when she was 16 years old. Do you know the song "Oculos de Sol" by Natercia Barreto? Rsss I really like that song, but its old, so you might not know it.


LOOL the last place I would expect to read about that song would be on an Utada Hikaru forum! No way, of course I know it, it's a classic! XD Everyone knows at least a bit or another. So funny to find sons of immigrants carrying pieces of our culture around!

*goes off singuing* "Os meus ?culos de soool...!"
