the secret to japanese BLD-ers?

[happa95]

Okay, so I was wondering what I could do about edge memo because I don't like memorizing by letters even though I'm pretty comfortable with my lettering system. So I thought, why not use japanese hiragana (letters)? Then I thought, could this be how there are such great japanese BLD cubers? The more I thought about it the better the system sounded. Japanese letters are extremely easy to memorize with auditory memory and you can frequently make up words.

BTW, in case you didn't figure it out, I'm japanese. (well, half)

I'm going to have to try that out. Unfortunately, I don't know any japanese.

Hmmm...that is true o_O very intersting....

That is an interesting idea. My Japanese is pretty rusty, but it would be another tool to add to my system even if I only got one or two easily remembered hiragana. I'll give it a try.

I popped that text into Google Translate, I got this:

And I'll DOITA

No idea what DOITA is, maybe the translator has a glitch.

I didn't change the font, there's just something at the top that changes the language. I guess that must change the font but whatever.

Using hiragana sounds like an interesting technique. I tried searching around though and couldn't find any sites that would indicate anyone using this method. One Japanese blog I came across just showed how to assign some numbers and letters to each piece, so I would assume they mostly just do it the same way as everyone else.
Actually, it doesnt seem unreasonable for Japanese to just use numbers, because they have a lot of mnemonic techniques for making words out of sequences of numbers.
