I heard it again last night at a Japanese Food Court in Gardena. My order of tonkatsu is ready. I go to pick it up and the server asks me if "chopticks are OK?". I told her that I can use hashi and that my pop was a nisei. This is so frustrating but it has happened all of my life. White people see me as Japanese. Japanese people see me as Hakujin. It is all part of being halvsie. Shikata ga nai desho.

Ohisashiburi~~~~~
So, one of my coworkers writes j-pop lyrics as a side job and does translations every once in a while. She's been asking me to help out on a few songs, and this one came down the pipeline and she knew that it was one of my favorite songs, so I volunteered to translate it. The singer, Beni, is basically doing English covers of famous Japanese songs... and I couldn't say no to this one. It's not *all* me (my coworker and I went back and forth with rewrites), but good enough! Not sure if I'm going to get any credits on it, though... Oh, and I did the "guide vocals" for the artist, too (meaning, I recorded me singing the song so she would know how the words fit the melody.)
Here's the preview! It goes on sale 3/21...

Job interview at Nikkei-run firm |

Today I go to visit a small business in Los Angeles County that is run by a Japanese American couple. I have never worked for a business run by JAs before. The last time I worked with a Nikkei was over 30 years ago. I am not sure if they are nisei, sansei, yonsei. or shin-nisei, etc. But I think the interview will be culturally unique. They see my last name and they may be surprised by my appearance.
