This thread is for the discussion of the language, culture, travel, daily life, etc. of Japan. Let's tark at randam in Japanese and English. Take it easy!
When children are adopted in Japan, is it the law that their family names have to be changed to the new family's, or can they keep their original name? I'm curious about this.
I don't know why an adopted child would ever want to keep their original family name, especially if they were adopted as babies or something, they probably don't even know their original family name.

I'm just speaking legally. I want to know how things compare between countries and what people are allowed to do in certain situations.
A family name of a child is changed to a family name of the foster parent. Because all family names in family register must be same. For example, in the case of Watanabe (adopted child) and Sato (foster parent), the adopted child's family name becomes Sato.

If Japanese people are really hentai then how likely is it that I'm going to be raped by a Japanese woman?
There's no way around this? Once the child is an adult, can they appeal to change their name back? I just wasn't sure how set in stone the rules of the family register system were.
There is a family register system in Japan. Therefore, all Japanese are put in some family register and non-Japanese can't have a family register. People who can have Japanese family register are only Japanese. Therefore, when a Japanese and non-Japanese couple adopt a Japanese child, the child enters the family register of the Japanese wife, and the child becomes the family name of the wife.
Oh, I don't mean if someone from outside Japan adopted, I just mean local laws for Japanese citizens. From what I can tell, the actual implementation of this can vary, but that might just be because I can't find clear information sources. Sorry, I'm not trying to be confusing.

Normally, in the case of Japan, those who have doubts or problems in adoption consult with a Japanese lawyer. And in order to change a name, a judgment of the Japanese court(domestic relations court 家庭裁判所) is absolutely necessary. If courts allows persons to change their name, they can change their name.
Don't Germans do Denkiamma? Also, in the pic related, It is a man - woman Denkiamma, but in reality, most of man - man Denkiamma. Unfortunately... (´-_-` )
Maybe it will be okay if you are stepped on by your friend. (@´pq`))) And ask to put off shoes to your friend
>BRO WHY U SO MAD ITS JUST A PRANK BRO CMON It's simply a cute little prank. During Denkiamma, what boys become erect are frequent in JAV or erotic novels or doujinshi. But, normally, it is rare. (It is not impossible that it will happen)

I'm sorry, but my Japanese isn't good enough to answer you. If the basic color of the board is blue then you're not allowed to post anything that is considered NSFW (Not Safe For Work) So female nipples, genitalia or guro is NOT allowed. Sexually suggestive stuff like the one I posted is okay. You can also crop the NSFW part of the picture out and then post it, but don't go too far with that since some mods don't like that.
>「数人しかいない」を直訳とonly several people になるけど、「数人だけある」を意味します。onlyとseveralはお互いに使われることはありません。「少ないだけある」をonlyと伝えたい時はonly a fewのほうがいいです。 この説明が通じるのか?分からない点があれば教えてくれないか?
Pepe comes from a comic called "Boy's Club #1" Back then he only expressed positive emotions and his catchphrase was "feels good man", but over the years Pepe became really popular on Jow Forums so people started to create a wide variety of pictures of him with various expressions. He even has a girlfriend (Pipi) and a little retarded cousin (Apu Apustaja) now. Pepe is one of the prime examples of why Jow Forums is so special.
This user is right about Wojack. Wojack is associated with negative (miserable) emotions while Pepe is associated with all kinds of "feel"ings.
