If you like to twist and shout, you'll love the Japanese language. Even if you don't know any Japanese at all, here are some easy expressions that can launch you into premature scream mode with little effort, with just a tad bit of grunting on the side. Charge on, shall we? Shrills: Kawaii!
The shrill scream of kawaii! (cute!) has been mastered by high school girls who have given the language a major boost in decibel levels. There is even "kawaii fashion" now, to describe the Hello Kittyfied world of mascots, furry animals, bling, girly goods or just an all-round general cutesiness that even males are attracted to.
The execution of the word kawaii, however, is what separates you from the Japanese high school girls. To do it high school girl-perfect, you've got to make it shrill: Kawaaaaaaiiiii! with a rising intonation.
