A 1 ---DANO---DANO ”and”, ”or”, ”and the like”, ”and so forth”, ”and what not.” Following nominals, interrogative pronouns and the basic form of i-adjectives and verbs, both in affirmative and negative, DANO--DANO expresses an idea of ”such-and-such and so forth”, ”such-and-such and the like”, etc. Note: The accusative ”O” is generally not used. Example: KANJI DANO HIRAGANA DANO. ”Kanji and Hiragana and so forth.” ANO HITO WA NAN DANO KAN DANO ITTE KAERIMASEN. ”He is saying this and that and doesn’t go home.” RINGO DANO MOMO DANO KAIMASHITA. ”I bought apples and peaches and so forth.” ISOGASHII DANO ATAMA GA ITAI DANO ITTE KIMASEN DESHITA. ”He didn’t come, saying he is busy and has a headache and the like.” ANO HITO WA KURU DANO KONAI DANO ITTE HAKKIRI SHIMASEN. ”He is not very definite saying he is coming and not coming and so forth.”NANTOMO --- NAI ”not a bit”; ”not at all” or ”nothing” NANTOMO followed by a negative expression expresses an idea of ”nothing (or anything)”, ”not a bit”, or ”not at all.” Examples: NANTOMO IEMASEN. ”can’t say anything.” ”indescribable” ”Inexpressible” NANTOMO OMOWANAI ”make nothing of” ”Do not hesitate” ”make no scruple of” SONO MONDAI NI TSUITEWA NANTOMO MOOSAREMASEN. ”I cannot say anything definite on that question.” IIE, NANTOMO ARIMASEN. ”No, nothing (I am all right).” NANTOMO IENAI YOI KESHIKI DESU. ”It is an indescribably beautiful scene.”Shuukan Zasshi Some of the weekly magazines are published by newspaper firms and some by independent magazine companies. There were about 60 different weekly magazines in 1960 which was the peak year , but this number has been reduced to about 30. Some of the popular weekly magazines are; SHUUKAN MAINICHI, SHUUKAN YOMIURI, SHUUKAN ASAHI, SHUUKAN MYOOJOO, SHUUKAN ASAHI GEINOO, SHUUKAN MAAGARETTO, SHUUKAN YANGU REDEI, SHUUKAN SEBUN, ASAHI GURAFU, MAINICHI GURAFU, etc.--- RUI RUI alone means ”a sort”, a kind”, or ”a variety.” However, RUI at times is used as a suffix and is used with some common nouns to indicate ”---- class”, ”--- family”, ”---- species”, or ”variety of----.” Examples: ZASSHIRUI ”variety of magazine” or ’magazines” KUDAMONORUI ”fruits” or ”fruits family” KIKAIRUI ”all kinds of machinery”----MUKI MUKI alone means ”suitable”, or ”becoming”, but it is used, in most cases, as a suffix with nouns to mean ”suitable for”, ”for”, or ”suited for”. Examples; NATSU-MUKI NO YOOFUKU ”suits for summer wear” TAISHUU-MUKI NO EIGA. ”movies suitable for the general public” FUJIN-MUKI NO ZASSHI ”magazines suited for ladies” JIMUSHO-MUKI NO IE ”house suitable for an office.”- の

Japanese newspaper companies publish many magazines. Among them are weekly magazines and monthly magazines. Quite a few annual publications also come out. Some companies publish a special report whenever a major issue arises. Weekly magazines include Weekly Asahi, Weekly Yomiuri, Weekly Mainichi, Asahi Graph, and Mainichi Graph. Since the war, the number of weekly magazines has increased greatly, and many of them are vulgar. This is a phenomenon that has accompanied freedom of speech and freedom of the press. However, when they are too

extreme, they are morally harmful and are also harmful to the education of young men, boys, and girls, so publishers must exercise self-restraint. Freedom of expression is a problem if it is not accompanied by responsibility. However, vulgar magazines do not last very long, and there are far fewer of them than there were around 1962. Recently, popular magazines include technical and specialized magazines and magazines for women. Meanwhile, the number of magazines for children has been decreasing. Recent changes in society and in the population are clearly reflected in this.
