Japanese is a very interesting language.

Japanese is a very interesting language.

Almost all long words are shortened into abbreviated portmanteaus, like "SaiKyo" for "Saitama to Tokyo" or "koko" for "koto gakko".

It also has a fondness English loanwords, so things like "Mobile Game" become "MobaGe".

The problem is, despite their fondness for English words, most Japanese people aren't particularly familiar with English itself.

Sadly, I don't think that's really the appropriate contraction of "Rap Artist".
