    I'm the only one who gets annoyed by all this people in YT like "I camw from this and that"
    Like just watched Insanity Injections PV and like 90% is there like "I came from FineBrothers"

    Like yeah no one cares if u came from finebrothers or some other shit.
    No need to spamm the comment sections with this shit.

    That could be a false assumption on my part. None of the information seems incorrect, the app itself just hasn't been updated by the developer in a few years (at least the free version).

    @togz I used my mad mouse drawing skillz to explain, hope it makes sense :v
    Also, please don't pay attention to the grammar now since this is casual japanese.
     
    A: nani sore? (what's that?) -- far from speaker
    B: kore wa GREEN THING desu! (this is a GREEN THING!) -- close to speaker

    When (A) says "what's that?" they mean to ask what is the thing that is far from the speaker (A) but close to the listener (B).
     
    A: ja, are wa? (then, what's that?) -- far from both
    B: ah! are wa MONSTER desu! (ah! that is a MONSTER!) -- far from both

    Then, (A) asks what's that thing that's far from both of them, so they can't use "sore" -- it's far from the listener (B) too. In this case, use "are". (B) does the same, for the same reason.
     
    A: dore ga MONSTER desu ka? (which one is the MONSTER?)
    B: migi desu. hidari wa KAWAII NEKO desu ne. (the one on the right. the one on the left is a CUTE CAT, right?)

    There are two things there, so (A) asks "which one" of those is the monster. (A) uses "dore" as a way to say "which one", it's a way to express a question. Of course we already know the monster is the one on the right, since the one on the left is a very, very realistic cat.
     
    The same relation can be found on other examples with kono, koko, etc.
    Just to clarify:
     
    * when talking about something
    - KOno... (this...) -- close to the speaker. | Ex.: kono KAWAII NEKO ga suki desu (I like this CUTE CAT)
    - SOno... (that...) -- far from speaker, close to listener | Ex.: sono MONSTER ga kirai desu (I hate that MONSTER)
    - Ano... (that...) -- far from both speaker and listener | Ex.: ano GREEN THING wo tabetai! (I want to eat that GREEN THING)
    - DOno... (which...) -- the distance doesn't matter, it's used to express a question regarding something they don't know about | Ex.: Dono ningen ga ichiban oishii no ka? (which human is tastier?)
     
    KOko, SOko, Asoko and DOko are the same, but about place. Here, doko is using to ask "what place", i.e. "where".
    There are some other variations too, but it's always the same.
    Hope it didn't sound too confusing...

    basically i think of the -re and -no as:
     
    sore: "that is a [...]".
    sono: "that [...] is/does this". 
     
    それはねこです。
    That is a cat.
     
    そのねこはかわいいです。
    That cat is cute.
     
    in sono sentences, it attaches to the noun, and a particle comes after them. the two words are one unit, whereas 'sore' is its own, and gets a particle right after.
     
    i think i'm correct LMAO

    kore/kono: this
    sore, are/sono: that
    dore/dono: which
     
    koko: here
    soko/asoko: there
    doko: where
     
    Basically the "so" (sore, sono, soko) ones refer to something/somewhere that is close to the person you are talking to but distant from yourself, while the "a" ones (are, ano, asoko) refers to something/somewhere that is distant from the people conversating (if it's close to both you would just use kore/kono/koko).
     
    The difference between kore and kono (and so on) is that kono requires the noun right after it (such as "this pen", "kono pen"), while with kore you do not need to specity ("kore"="this one", are="that one", etc.).
     
    If you are talking about something/somewhere that is not physically there, you should say "sore, sono, soko" for something only one person knows, while "are, ano, asoko" for something that both people in the conversation are familiar with. For example, if you are talking with your girlfriend about a friend of yours, you would say "sono hito" (that person) to talk about somebody your girlfriend never met/never heard of, or "ano hito" (that person) if she already knows him. Not sure I was clear!!

    I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure or more of just a band I don't think people would expect me to like because I tend to like darker/heavier bands. But I think Smileberry are just adorable and fun. I don't really have guilty pleasures because I'm not embarrassed of anything I like? lol But they are probably the closest thing I guess you could say.

    Same. I've always preferred heavier stuff. Though I must say, for an OsareKei band, Smileberry is quite good.
