nagazasshi Welcome, friends, to my fourth and final issue as Editor-in-Chief. This is a special conclusion/ introduction issue, featuring articles written by several departing staff members, and articles and artwork by our up-and-coming team of writers and creators who will be steering the helm of the Nagazasshi from now on. Both outgoing and incoming staff members contributed to our special “Nagazasshi Fails” piece, where we take a look back at some of our most embarrassing moments in Japan or in Japanese. You’ll be sure to get a good laugh or sympathetic cringe from that one! Beyond that, check out an article about recommended summer beauty products to beat the Japanese heat, read one foreigner’s testimony of how coping with the pandemic from Japan helped him appreciate all his parents have done for him, and another’s about being stuck in their home country after plans to move to Japan were pushed further and further back because of the pandemic. We connect Japan to the other side of the world in a piece about Yuta Watanabe, a Japanese NBA player, and we explore facets of life within Japan in an article about being of mixed Japanese descent in (and outside of) Japan (full disclosure: I wrote this one). Finally, we introduce our new designer with some of her artwork inspired by her laboratory experiences at Nagasaki University, and share some of our favorite places in Kyushu through pictures. So, my friends, this is goodbye. Please enjoy this issue, and please keep coming back to see where the magazine goes beyond this point. I will be replaced by the brilliant and beautiful Ronnie Triminio, who has gone above and beyond in his dedication to the Nagazasshi as a copy editor, writer, and podcast creator. I hope you all are as excited as I am to see the Nagazasshi thrive under his supervision. I will be stepping down, along with Deidre Foley, Charlotte Gautier, Abbie Philpott, Kane Pride, and J.S. Our jobs in Japan are coming to an end, which means we will be departing both the country and the magazine. These lovely people, along with those staying on staff, and our new members, have truly been a highlight of this past year. They are my fellow creatives, my community, and my friends. I am proud of all of you and everything we’ve done together. I can’t wait to see everything you all do, with the Nagazasshi and beyond. Thank you all, and thank you, reader, for supporting us and supplying the Nagazasshi with its life force of curiosity and compassion. お世話になりました. Clara Altfeld Editor-in-Chief

Art in Science Hi, I am Palina, a designer for the Nagazasshi. To introduce myself, I would like to show you my recent Art-in-Science Series. I get a lot of inspiration for painting during my laboratory work at Nagasaki University.
This painting is the memory of my first day in the lab. I was so excited...I had never seen even simple things before. Everything is reflected in the eyes.
Doing a chromosome experiment (during dropping of fixed cell suspension). It is a very important and technically difficult step in this experiment, but I was encouraged by the fact that I will take a look at the real chromosomes soon!
Looking at chromosome rearrangements using FISH analysis. Near the right hand side, there is a rearranged chromosome of radial type, which I am interested in.
Not all experiments are successful. All researchers should be ready for this. On the table, there are many slides with failed chromosome samples. This is one of the most emotional drawings.
During the experiment, I try to find the answer to how DNA is repaired in different situations. Various DNA repair factors work in unknown and unclear ways like these cat-builders.
I was surprised that the washing of laboratory dishes can inspire a painting. Usually it is the last step of the experiment before receiving the data. So, you are motivated to do it faster and then run to look at the results. Text, photos and illustrations: Palina Kot
At last! Summer is here! And while most of us can’t wait to make the most of it, in Japan, that also means withstanding the unbearably hot and humid weather that comes with it. Luckily, Japan has an array of beauty products to explore; products that are especially designed to combat heat and humidity. Why not try some of these to help keep you cool as ice throughout the summer?

Many people rave about this product, and it’s for a good reason. This water-based sunscreen offers SPF50+, PA++++ protection against UV rays. The watery essence easily absorbs into the skin and can also be used as a primer before applying foundation. This sunscreen is both super moisturizing and suitable for acne prone skin. It’s also available as a UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel.
Cooling body sheets are quite the craze during summertime in Japan. These Biore body sheets instantly cool the skin to an icy 3° after just two wipes! The secret is in a cooling component that dissipates heat when wiping away sweat and odor. Other popular brands include Gatsby, Ag Deo 24 and Sea Breeze. No matter the brand, you can be sure to enjoy the long lasting cooling sensation they leave on your body after use.
My Beauty Diary is a Taiwanese brand that is highly popular in Japan. Their limited summer edition sheet masks contain menthol for a pleasant cooling effect upon application and leave your skin deeply moisturized and conditioned after use. The gel serum has ten plant-derived ingredients including aloe leaf, licorice root, and peppermint leaf extracts. This product contains no parabens, alcohol, mineral oil, coloring, or fluorescent dyes.
Enjoy a refreshing hot spring experience in the comfort of your own home! Tabi no Yado creates aromatic bath salts inspired by various hot springs from all over Japan. The limited edition Cool Summer Series bath salts box contains three types of refreshing mintbased aromas: citrus mint, herbal mint, and fresh mint. These bath salts also contain moisturizing ingredients, hot spring minerals, herbs, and menthol for a chilled out summertime treat.
When I got news that I got accepted as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan, I was definitely elated. While waiting for news on my placement and departure to Japan, I would have my daydreams of meeting other JETs in person, hanging out in and traveling to different places in Japan, doing the Japanese stuff I liked, and practicing my Japanese. I was going to achieve some of my dreams. However, the long wait, the constant delays, and the rising cases of COVID-19 made me frustrated. I was not able to go yet because of the pandemic situation. At times, I am envious of current JETs and people who were able to get into Japan. I have been waiting for a year and many months since I was actually supposed to arrive there last year. There were a few times where I would get depressed and question why these things were happening. Despite being in limbo, I still keep my hope that I will be able to one day teach in Japan and live out my dreams. As a spiritual person, personally believing in God, I was also trying to encourage myself that I would be able to see that things could work in mysterious ways or that there was a plan for me. But, even as I stay at home and even if I am stuck in my home country, I am glad that I could still experience Japan and the JET life online. I am thankful to be born in a century where we can have conference calls or voice channels. I had the privilege of meeting other JETs online both in my country and internationally. I also got the opportunity to join Japanese connect groups, such as cooking and language groups, interact with Japanese people and practice my Japanese with them online. Even writing for the Nagazasshi gave me a sense of being able to experience Japan in some way. While this may be far from the real thing, doing these things have allowed me to experience the JET or Japan life in some way. My hope is that, one day, with more vaccines and improvements, I will experience and enjoy the real thing. But now, I will just continue to wait.

Yuta Watanabe: Courtside Connection Between Japan and Canada
From the moment he became a Raptor, it was clear that Yuta Watanabe was making a unique connection between his homeland, Japan, and his new home, Toronto.
Hailing from Kagawa Prefecture, Watanabe started his NBA career in 2018 on a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies and their G-league affiliate, the Memphis Hustle. Two years later in December 2020, he joined the Raptors on similar terms. It was a historic moment, marking the first time that a Japanese player would be signed to the NBA’s only Canadian team. Watanabe was an instant fit for the Raptors’ perseverance-centric team culture with his high energy and determination. It’s an attitude he cultivated from a young age under the mentorship of Shikama-sensei, his high school basketball coach at Jinsei Gakuen. The 26-year-old quickly made a role for himself as the Raptors’ go-to guy whenever they needed a spark on either
end of the court, and this hustle has been rewarded with his first standard NBA contract, signed with Toronto in April 2021. Raptors head coach Nick Nurse spoke highly of the upgrade, saying, “He deserved it, he earned it,” and that it was reflective of the work Watanabe had put in for the team. It has also firmly cemented the connection between Canadian and Japanese basketball. In a conversation with Nurse about Watanabe’s new contract, Takeshi Shibata of Nippon Bunka Publishing said that this signing has made Toronto “forever linked to Japanese basketball society.” But Watanabe’s link with Canadian basketball began much earlier, during his college days playing for the George Washington Colonials. There, he worked closely with coach Maurice Joseph, a Montreal native who had a successful college career at both Michigan State and Vermont and comes from a well-
known Canadian basketball family. Under Joseph’s guidance, Watanabe had an incredible four-year run with the Colonials, leading them to their first ever National Invitational Tournament win in his sophomore year and becoming their top scorer as a senior. Joseph congratulated Watanabe on Twitter when the latter inked his new deal, remarking that it was great to see Watanabe succeeding in Canada. That’s the thing about playing in the NBA for the Raptors - you have a whole country at your back. And as one of the only two active Japanese-born NBA players — along with the Washington Wizards’ Rui Hachimura — Watanabe now has two nations rooting for him. Although it has been hard for Raptors fans to show their love in-person, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced the team to temporarily relocate to Tampa Bay, they have embraced Watanabe with open arms. From Tweets about his on-court performance, YouTube videos discussing his potential with the team, and podcasts naming him the most handsome power forward in the league, the amount of online content from the Raptors’ fan-base praising Watanabe has been endless. Without a doubt, his welcome at Scotiabank Arena, the team’s home court in Toronto, will be spectacular. This love is matched only in Japan, where Watanabe is a clear favorite among basketball fans. His is the top-selling jersey in the country, and while the Raptors saw increased popularity in Japan around their 2019 pre-season games against the Houston Rockets in Tokyo, it’s nothing compared to what they are
experiencing now. Thanks to Watanabe, for the first time in Raptors history, they are the most popular NBA team in Japan. Speaking about what he thinks his success means in Japan, Watanabe has said, “I hope a lot of kids watch us play in the NBA and then their dream becomes [joining] the NBA, just like me and Rui.” While basketball does not have as large of a Japanese following as baseball or soccer, Watanabe and Hachimura’s achievements have indeed fostered enthusiasm for the sport in a trajectory reminiscent to that of Canada’s. Before the early 2000s, basketball was largely overshadowed in Canada by sports like hockey, and Canadian NBA players were few and far between. It wasn’t until the success of the Raptors’ Vince Carter and Canadian all-star Steve Nash that the sport gained real traction and more Canadians started playing in the league. It has since grown tremendously in popularity, and Canada is now the largest contributor of international NBA players, including Watanabe’s fellow Raptors, Chris Boucher and Khem Birch. Undoubtedly, Watanabe will continue to have an impact on basketball — in Japan and Canada — as his development in Toronto proceeds. This season has come to an end for the Raptors, but as the team looks to their future, it is clear that they intend to give Watanabe plenty of opportunities to shine on the court. And with his unique ties to both Canadian and Japanese basketball, he will be doing it with support that goes quite literally across the whole world.

Adulting or how I learned how to cook TEXT: Ronnie Triminio I never realized how much work my parents did for me until I had to do it alone. I thought that I understood the hardships my parents had endured by moving to a different country for a better life. However, it took me moving to — then surviving a pandemic — alone in Japan, eating only chicken nuggets, to truly understand what they did. In America, my parents did their best to instill the value of hard work in me. I worked a part-time job while going to school. I paid bills, did chores, and took care of my little brother. The only thing I didn’t do was cook (which, as you can see from the name of this article, was something that I came to regret). I didn’t like the process of making the food and then cleaning everything up every single time I wanted French fries. Living at home helped me pay for college and I didn’t have to worry about my poor cooking ability, but I desperately wanted to become more independent and learn to take care of myself. So I decided to follow in my parents’ footsteps and move to a different country. I came to Japan with the goal of experiencing living alone for the first time and learning to be independent.
At first I was fine, but over time my life became extremely disorganized. Learning how to be an adult in my third language didn’t help either. Everyday, there was a seemingly neverending amount of errands and chores, not to mention my work and studies that all combined to create a Mt. Everest level of stress. Worst of all, my eating habits worsened. Being busy and unfamiliar with Japanese stores, plus having no real knowledge of cooking, does not equal a well-balanced diet. I relied on fast food and snacks to get me through the day. I gained 30 pounds, and always felt extremely exhausted because of it. I wasn’t succeeding at being independent to say the least. I reached out to my parents, my friends, and even some close coworkers about how to manage the work-life balance. There was a lot of teasing, and my friends’ advice wasn’t always easy to swallow, but thanks to them, I finally learned how to cook curry. With patience that could give god a run for their money, my friend gave me a box of roux and instructed me on how to make it. I tried to follow along and copy their movements exactly. I cut potatoes, carrots, onions, beef and set them to simmer on low heat. While that was cooking, I set the rice to cook and started washing plates. By the time the food was ready, there was little left to do but to eat. In trying it, I realized that I made a few mistakes. The rice was slightly burned, the potatoes weren’t fully cooked and the beef texture was a bit off, but even still, I enjoyed my cooking. I felt like this was a good step toward independence. After that, I watched several YouTube videos about cooking and learned how to make soups, pasta, chicken, and even dumplings! I bought an oven and even started learning how to bake! I can’t truly say I like the process of cooking, but everytime I sit down and eat a meal made by myself, I feel like I’m slowly but surely understanding what it means to become independent… and that I should take cooking classes one day.
Despite the apparent exclusion of people who are of mixed Japanese descent, the reality is more complicated. The population of people with one foreign parent or of otherwise mixed descent is rising. As of 2016, 1 in 50 babies in Japan were born to a Japanese parent and a foreign parent, and the trend is continuing upward. Beyond the borders of Japan, those numbers are even higher. There is a large Japanese community in Deanna’s home state of Hawai’i (at 12.6%, they are the second largest ethnic group in the state), and there, it’s much more common for people to inherit more than one culture. This is one example of how the monoracial Japanese myth isn’t as prevalent beyond the borders of Japan, where more people of Japanese descent are multiracial.
“Wow, it’s like you’re Japanese!” This is a comment that Deanna, a Black Japanese person living in Kawatana, has received from other Japanese people here. Being mixed race can be difficult in many cultures. Japan, with its largely monoethnic population, is a unique and potentially more challenging place for mixed-race people to live. It’s easy to see another person as part of one’s “in-group” or “out-group,” i.e. as a Japanese person or as a foreigner, but people of mixed Japanese descent straddle that line, defying easy categorization. For Deanna, she’s often placed in the “foreigner” category. When she hears comments like the one above, what they tell her is “I don’t actually see you as a Japanese person.”
However, not all mixed race people find themselves seen as outsiders in Japan. Milo, a white and Japanese fourth grader in Saikai, is treated like any other student in his school. His mother, Ryoko, says that he has lots of friends and fits in with his classmates, who, if anything, see his mixed heritage as cool. Despite living in England until second grade, Milo is fluent in the Japanese language and culture, thanks to frequent trips to Japan and studying at Japanese school on Saturdays when he was abroad. On a different part of the cultural fluency spectrum is Jennifer, who worked in Nagasaki as an ALT. Even though both of her parents are ethnically Japanese, she grew up in the U.S.A. without close contact to her family in Japan. “I was born in America and I’m an American citizen, but my blood is Japanese,” she said. This led to her Japanese students seeing her as hāfu, which surprised
her. “For Japanese people, American is another ethnicity.” The dissonance between the way one identifies oneself versus the way one is perceived by others can become a point of contention for mixed-race people. Of course, this isn’t the case for everyone, like with Milo, and every Japanese person treats multiracial people differently, but extremes can be seen in the case of celebrities. Nowadays, there are more people of mixed Japanese descent in the spotlight. Naomi Osaka, a world-ranked Japanese tennis player, is one of those people. A widely-shared opinion piece by Kuni Miyake at the Japan Times even questioned whether Osaka was “Japanese enough” to represent Japan in tennis. Although the piece gained a lot of traction, so did the backlash against the article, with people defending Osaka, and showing support for the idea that just because one is multiracial doesn’t mean they have to perform a certain way to cater to the expectations of other people in that culture. The criticisms against Osaka are more than just the fact that she’s mixed-race, but also have to do with her Blackness. Japan, like a lot of the world, is socially and economically biased toward people with lighter skin, and representations of Black people in Japanese media are often based on negative stereotypes. The cases of Naomi Osaka and other Black Japanese celebrities are in direct contrast to the media’s perception of non-Black mixed race Japanese celebrities. Quite a few famous models and actresses in Japan are of mixed race descent, and some of them are among the most popular in the country. Rola, for example, is a model, singer, and actress of Bangladeshi, Japanese and Russian descent. Despite, or because of, her mixed heritage, Rola has one of the largest social media followings in Japan, and is
one of the most featured public figures in TV shows and other media. She and other non-Black mixed-race Japanese models are highly sought-after for advertising products in Japan and around the world. There’s a clear double standard for people depending on what their non-Japanese heritage is, with certain types of racial heritage being more accepted than others; the shadow of anti-Blackness casts heavily over this societal judgment. There’s even a term for those of mixed-race who don’t live up to expectations: zannen hāfu (disappointing hāfu). Whether criticized or tokenized for their mixed heritage, these celebrities demonstrate how the idea of monoethnic Japan isn’t a reality, and even in Japan’s history, never was. In fact, there are emerging studies showcasing the potential benefits of being multiracial, including that it makes people more adaptable, creative, and open-minded. Even cultivating friendships with multiracial people can change how people think, making them more open to other people’s identities and struggles. It’s also important to note that all people interviewed for this article take pride in their identities and histories, which can be far more significant than their categorization by others. In Japan and around the world, there will always be people who will readily accept others into their communities, and there will always be people who will reject others instead. But it’s crucial to remember to keep an open mind to others of all different backgrounds, be a generous listener to their experiences, and undertake the responsibility to educate ourselves as best we can about the world beyond our own positionality. Special thanks to Deanna, Jennifer, Kyle, and Milo and his family for lending their voices and experiences. TEXT: Clara Altfeld
This edition marks a final issue for some of our senior writers and a new beginning for the Nagazasshi. To honor that and reflect on their experiences up ‘till now, some of our staff have written about their own personal failures — whether it was culture differences, not understanding the language, or just a huge mistake on our part, we’re happy to share and laugh at our own mistakes! After all, failure is necessary for us to grow and learn.
I once told a Japanese friend about my dream. It turned out that I was talking about a mouse. I was supposed to use nozomi 望み (wish or hope), but I ended up using the word nezumi 鼠 (mouse) instead.
I got distracted while using the school’s laminator and looked away for a few seconds. When I looked back, I couldn’t see anything coming out the other end of the laminator, despite the entering paper continuing to go through. Before the last bit of paper disappeared, I realized I had put the film in the wrong direction, and everything was being burned up by the machine. My teacher, bless her, came immediately when I approached her with my panicked request for help. We couldn’t get anything out of the laminator, or anything else into it. She helped me tell the principal what I had done, and my principal laughed it off and let everyone use her personal laminator for the next year. It still makes me cringe.
During my second month in Japan, I got my car stuck in a drain on my way to school. I called my supervisor in tears because I was gonna be late and didn't know what to do. While waiting for my supervisor, teachers at the local preschool saw my plight and informed teachers at my visit school, which was nearby. I ended up with my supervisor, both of my school's principals, five other teachers, two nursery school teachers, a neighbor and a local mechanic all witnessing my embarrassing meltdown. Mortifying, but I'm thankful for all of their help, kindness and concern!
Getting rid of 1 yen coins can be such a hassle. Especially because they accumulate so quickly! About a year ago, I tried dumping a handful of them in the self service checkout machine at the supermarket— big mistake. The machine literally spewed them all out and started beeping at me. Luckily there were only a few people there to witness my panic, shock and embarrassment. I’m still recovering from this incident.
On senior graduation day last year, an unfortunate tragedy befell one of my co-teachers. Her mother had passed away. To show support, the teachers at my school planned to visit the service together after the ceremony. They had told me we were going to go to a temple, but for some reason, I had misunderstood a temple as a shrine and had assumed we were going to go hiking up there to pray for her mother (I know). After they told me, I went to change out of my suit into sports clothes and went to meet them in the parking lot. When I come out, I’m horrified to realize that the other teachers are still in their blacks suits and realize what a big mistake I have made. Unfortunately, the funeral service was almost two hours away so the teachers couldn’t wait for me so I had to stay at school. I was the only teacher not to go. Now I triple check with my English teacher so that will never happen again.
On my first day (yep...) at the elementary school I work at, the third graders asked me to sit with them for lunch. One kid in particular was very eager to sit next to me. Three hours and 70 new faces later, all I could remember about him was his buzz cut. I went to the class at lunchtime and a buzz cut kid came and brought me to his seat. OK, great, this must be him! Halfway through lunch, though, the homeroom teacher asked me to step outside… and there he was, OG buzz cut kid, crying on the floor and refusing to eat because I had broken my promise! Suffice to say I sat with him as he finally finished his food and played tag after, but boy did it feel bad to make a kid cry on the first day!
If you’ve ever received a nengajo (New Year’s postcard), you know it’s covered in bright colors and beautiful calligraphy. Some are printed, others are not. A couple years ago I received one written by one of my teacher’s children, probably around the age of five. I thought it was so adorable I went right up to my teacher and told him so. His response? “What child? I wrote all my postcards myself.” It was only then that I realized I had made a mistake and effectively told him that his handwriting looks like a toddler’s. I didn’t get another nengajo from him the year after, I probably don’t need to say why.

How do you say goodbye in Japanese? Everyone knows it’s さようなら (sayōnara). But is it really? Despite being so well known as to be included in English dictionaries, it’s very rare to hear anyone say it in Japan. In almost all situations there is a better, or more contextually appropriate way to say goodbye. There’s more than one way to part ways in English, so let’s explore a few ways in Japanese. Let’s address ‘sayonara’ first. There are two acceptable ways of pronouncing it: long ’o’ Sayōnara and short ‘o’ Sayonara. Next, this farewell has a finality which leads Japanese people to avoid it. Be alarmed if you hear your doctor say ‘sayonara’ before you go into surgery. On the other hand, saying sayonara just before boarding a plane to fly back to your home country would be appropriate. Most times when you say goodbye to someone, you don’t want to indicate that you never plan on seeing them again. So how can you say goodbye?
1 2 3
Are you saying goodbye to friends after hanging out?
じゃね (ja ne) - the equivalent of ‘see ya’. Quite informal. またね (mata ne) - ‘See you later’. More below. また〇〇 (mata ____) - mata can be used in conjunction with a time such
as 明日 (ashita - tomorrow), 来週 (raishū - next week), or 今度 (kondo - next time) to give a more cordial and specific farewell. It can also be used with 会いましょう (aimashō) to indicate you look forward to seeing them again.
Are you going home after work?
お先に失礼します (o-saki ni shitsurei shimasu) - Pardon me for leaving
before you.
お疲れ様でした (o-tsukaresama deshita) - a common workplace goodbye. Often used in conjunction with or as a reply to the above ‘o-saki ni’. (Are you saying goodbye when leaving for a short period, for example going to work in the morning?
行ってきます (itte-kimasu) - “I’ll be back!” いってらっしゃい (itte-rasshai) - the response to itte-kimasu.
Finally, while it isn’t a “goodbye”, an important phrase when saying farewell to coworkers or someone who has helped you extensively is お世話になりました (o-sewa ni narimashita.) It roughly means thank you for everything or thank you for taking care of me. It’s very polite and worthwhile to include in a farewell speech.
Happy studies! Mata kondo!
