Sorry if anything else is confusing, I hope it's still comprehensible...

Cool! I only knew よる, ばや is probably a slang-ish way of saying ばん

Umm, actually, hajimemashite is used a lot in Japanese o.O and you can say it. It's not just a gentlemanly thing.

Damn...-_-

Also, how can you love Japan so much and not like "sushii"? I thought those kind of people adore it.

Sadly of course they're serious

Notice the subtle things - can tack on "kawaii" anywhere she wants, but writes "sweet things" instead of "お菓子". She doesn't translate Japanese for anyone because they'll find out her dirty little secret. I guess "sushii" is a personal choice, but what's not to like about fish and rice?

Yeah, I just looked them up on DeviantART and saw that they were serious. It made me laugh.

But, to be back on the original topic of the thread, I couldn't translate it mainly because I wasn't familiar with some of the words. My vocabulary isn't very good...Nor is any of my Japanese, really.

Just to join in and take a guess at this one.

"In the black(dark?) night, i tried to conceal myself in the rain, But in was not possible"

I'm not sure how far of I am on that one.
