Recently Ariana Grande got a tattoo in Japanese. She thought it would mean "7 rings" like her new song, but it actually means a type of BBQ grill in Japanese. This news was also shared in Japan and many Japanese people reacted to it on Twitter.

I still can't wrap my head around the idea that so many people don't take their time to check what their tattoo actually meaning before getting one. Tattoos are meant to be permanent, so why are people not more careful? Ariana could have just share her idea on Instagram and get feedback from Japanese people with almost no effort. People are strange. But if you are interested in getting tattoos in Japanese, it's better to learn Japanese first. My free lessons are here bit.ly/2XwlLf7

[@vasantos-re4hb]

In all fairness, Japanese are equally as guilty putting "decoration English" on many products. I wish we all took a moment to check our work before posting.

[@jennybokan6104]

Since your name's japanese man I guess you're japanese, my next tattoo's gonna be a japanese dragon I designed and I wanna have "love" "trust" and "honesty" under it in japanese. and ehm. I wanted to ask if you could translate it bc I don't wanna have something that means something totally different under my skin for the rest of my life. 😺

[@CubesAreCool]

sorry if im wrong but 七 can be read as なな and 輪 can be read as わ. so it could be read as ななわ

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

That's why you need to be wary of tattoos in different languages.

[@MsSoulBlader]

Or simply not get them at all.

[@sailorcook5423]

Or ask someone who speaks Japanese

[@42Nightsyesterday]

had a professor who had kanji characters spelling out his name which was along the lines of Jon Kaelen. Apparently the use of kanji in his name was really impressive to the japanese students in my school and they all admired this professor. I guess what i'm saying is learn the language first.

It's bc the majority of Japan twitter is already mad at the Tokyo Olympics committee, and the account just added fuel to the fire.

She made an excuse like "it hurt" but the characters IN THE MIDDLE were dropped for the kanji at the end that had a lot of strokes! xD If she didn't want that much pain, she should've switched "yubiwa" to hiragana instead, it doesn't change the meaning and it would remain accurate while not hurting much!

9kay It says in the Japanese wiki that there are some theories as to why, but they're not confirmed. One is 七厘 (a similar sounding kanji but used for measurement) was the amount of coal sufficient to grill, or because the part at the bottom of the grill has 7 holes. My family didn't use this so I dunno if these are true. /shrug I hope someone can elaborate!

Hi Yuta ! I thought you were gonna mention the Gorin No Sho, Miyamoto Musashi's book. This came to mind before the olympics but maybe that's just me ^^ It's actually translated "Book of five rings".

[@thesophisticatedtarzan1797]

Atleast it doesn't spell *_baka gaijin_*

[@XploitedEuter]

If NiRin is motorbike, than what's a bicycle?

[@StaticLord]

自転車(jitensha) with the kanji meaning (oneself),(revolve, turn around), (car, vehicle​).

[@seneca983]

What about tricycle?

[@StaticLord]

@@seneca983 三輪車(sanrinsha) (3),(wheel),(vehicle) or an english word converted to japanese fonetical system トライシクル(toraishikuru). I'd wager the first one is probably the one commonly used, as the borrowed word is just bleh.

Ciao bebé! Thanks for this vídeo, I really enjoyed it :3

[@paulinepetit6168]

how would you say 7 rings then ?

[@kaesi99]

七つの指輪 (nanatsu no yubiwa) would mean seven rings

[@citrusblast4372]

@@kaesi99 that is a bit much compared to her tattoo lol. Maybe an arm tattoo or across her back

[@kaesi99]

I just can't believe she messed that one up. It even says "seven rings" in Japanese at the beginning of her music video for the song and it is perfectly correct.

[@simonkoschke]

Kaesi99 that’s exactly what I was thinking

Hi!! Next month I’m going to Kyoto for studying. I’d like to find a part time job during my stay, but my hair is blue. So I’m wondering if it’s a problem to have the hair like that in Kyoto. For you is it better to change it to my natural color or not? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@rafaugm]

The explanation of the different meaning of the kanji and the combinations was very interesting.

[@ShinigamiXZEROX]

so... what would be the correct way to write "seven rings"

[@kinna6572]

Someone asked this question further up in the comments but I couldn't find it again, but they said "nanatsu no yubiwa" (sorry my phone can't type in kanji)

[@ShinigamiXZEROX]

@@kinna6572 Thank you, found it pretty weird that Yuta didn't mention it in the video

[@idislikemints]

@@ShinigamiXZEROX her music video has the correct way to say it at the beginning tho.

[@chanelbandit]

So what does 7 rings mean now in Japanese?

[@Borderose]

Nanatsu no yubiwa.

[@SevinosI]

Can somebody confirm this for me before I go get it tattooed on my body 常に忠誠を is "Semper Fidelis" or "Always Faithful" in Japanese. 常に忠誠を is specifically meant for U.S. Marines who often use the shortened term "Semper Fi." The first two Kanji mean "always" or "constantly." The last three Kanji mean "faithful," "loyal," "devoted," and/or "diligent." It's most often read as "faithful."

I'm curious about the Japanese view on China. Well about that tattoo .. it's stupid to think for 2 seconds about thing that will remain for years ..

There's nothing wrong with the tattoo. Yakiniku is my favorite. XD

Hey Yuta, I have a question. I know Japanese uses loan words from other languages. What is the difference between the Olympics "Five Rings" name in Kanji versus "Orympikku" in Katakana?

[@grainfrizz]

It's so funny because if I wanted to get a tattoo saying one-five, I'll write Ichigo. But then it'll read as strawberry. Nani?!?!?! #Bankai!!!!!!

[@lovestarlightgiver2402]

It depends on how you write it. 一五 is ichigo and it means "one five", but this ichigo means strawberry: 苺

[@lovestarlightgiver2402]

If he writes it in hiragana, people will still assume "strawberry" lol saying "One-Five" would not be the intuitive answer. Also, kanji is considered more cool.

[@catsspat]

When did she ever make any sense? And talk about exporting the snowflake mentality to Japan. And we make fun of Engurishu, too. Recent one I remember is "Dairy News" in an anime (they meant to write Daily News). And maybe she'll write the "Book of Seven Rings" (七輪書) at some point. LOL

[@tobinsummers2586]

Hey Yuta I really enjoy your channel and this doesn't have much to do with the video except that I need some help translating some Kanji and thought maybe you could help I have a very old Japanese artifact in my possession it came into my family after WWII the catch is everyone I've asked says the Kanji is pre WWII and something about Kanji prior to that was different than it is now if this is something you may be able to help with or interested in or know anyone who might I'd very much appreciate it I sent pictures to an appraiser in Japan they stated the artifact it self is possibly around 300 years old I cannot afford an official appraisal but would love to learn more specifics of its origin if possible please let me know thank you

[@Phantasiafan87]

Just curious Yuta, is there another way she could have gotten that tattoo? Like a proper way to say Seven Rings in kanji?
