Haha. Ken Kutaragi complained of Crash in the very early days that the "trees should wave their branches at you, giving the nostalgia of childhood." Or something like that. At the time we found it merely puzzling.
- Natsu 15y agoNatsukashii is one of those Japanese concepts that you just have to learn along with the language, a lot like itadakimasu or the various forms of yoroshiku onegai shimasu. It's not so hard to understand once you understand the feeling they're supposed to convey. I usually end up mentally un-translating them because the translations end up sounding unnatural in English. Unusual uses of words like "nostalgia" and certain other bits of "translationese" make it easy to spot translations and identify the source language and not just for Japanese. For example, unnatural sounding uses of the word "illiberal" usually indicate statements translated from Chinese.
