心待ち About to watch Makoto Shinkai's "言の葉の庭". Wonder if it's good. Hope it's as good as 秒速5センチメートル. I am a confirmed optimist. ^^ Can one say "confirmed optimist"? Does it make any sense? Hm, how can you say it in Japanese? If possible, I'll try not to use subtitles. Every week, every new 漢字 I learn, makes it easier for me to understand this beautiful language - 日本語 (おっと, that sounded a bit pompous, sorry ^^). Anyway, 楽しみにしています!

根っからの楽天家 - sounds good, thank you very much. Probably I will stick with a shorter 楽天家. When I go to Japan next year it will be plus one 楽天家 in the country. )))

We may not have such an expression in the Japanese dictionary, since even optimists, 楽天家, would be rare. )) I confess I tried to cheat by googling "confirmed optimist" and "日本語", but your 心待ち post came out at the top of search results. )))

Hi, I think "confirmed optimist" is 楽天主義者(らくてんしゅぎしゃ) or 根っからの楽天家(ねっからのらくてんか) but sorry, I'm not sure. (My English isn't good.) I hope other Japanese people give you the correct answer. Greetings.
