To type the name of my city, you must type "Toukyou" and change it into kanji. Typing "Tokyo" won't get you anywhere near 「東京」.

As for my username, I've never written it in hiragana. But if I had to, I'd write it なごやんきい. I usually write it in katakana, which is ナゴヤンキー. So before you learn katakana, you can just write it in the alphabet.

Finally, "Thanks a lot, Nagoyankee." is 「なごやんきいさん、どうもありがとう。」. I don't mind Nagoyankeeさん.   Remember when I mentioned "みなさんこんにちは"? We put the name/title first most of the time, which is the opposite of what's considered normal in English.
You mean that everytime I have been sending an email and opening it with こんにちは”名前”さん I wrote it in the wrong order?


降り注ぐ雨 マジで冷てぇ
暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ
everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ
辛い時こそ胸を張れ
