About me
Hello! Nocturne here. I\u2019m an aspiring writer and working professional living in the United States. I worked and lived in Shiga, Japan for five years. Now that I\u2019m back home I want to continue to engage with the language and culture.

What is Gengakei?

About Genga <\/strong>
I grew up when anime and manga were really becoming popular in the United States. It was becoming easier to walk into a bookstore and pick up a manga or at the electronics store browse shelves of anime. Its really wild to think about how accessible it all is now.

Genga means \u201coriginal art\u201d and often refers to the key animation frames essentially.

About Kei <\/strong>
During my high school years everything \u201cKei\u201d was really popular in the anime fan space. Visual Kei, Oshare-kei, etc were easy to find. Internet pages, youtube, the local Hottopic and comic conventions were all places where I could find posters, magazines, music and more for bands like L\u2019Arc~en~Ciel, X-Japan, Dir En Grey and An Caf\u00e9.

“~Kei” as a suffix refers to classification of something. I have also seen it roughly translated as \u201cstyle\u201d (source Wikipedia<\/a> )

This blog will focus on nostalgic Japanese anime, manga, music and popular culture. So I wanted a name that would reflect these topics. I also wanted a name that would be short and easy to remember. I felt this title really suited this purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
