I also have some questions for today.

1. http://i.imgur.com/BXGPf.jpg
現実から電脳に変換中。なう。
Can you please tell me what なう means here?

2. http://i.imgur.com/4vscG.jpg
空気みてェにムシしやがった
What is the dictionary form of the verb here? And what does it mean?

3. http://i.imgur.com/tI1Kb.jpg
What does 後になる mean in this case? Does it mean "to get left behind"?

4. http://i.imgur.com/w96se.jpg
The word 谷 has been bugging me for a while. Is it a unit of the Japanese addressing system?

5. http://i.imgur.com/uD4UW.jpg
a/ Can you tell me what the site note says? I don't really get it, especialy ならず.
b/ Is タチ just the pluralizing suffix? Or does it has another meaning here?
1. "Now".

2. It is already in the dictionary form. 「する」 + 「やがる」 = 「しやがる」
「やがる」 is an auxiliary verb used to describe another person's action with hatred.

3. It means "I always (regret) when it's too late." The "regret" part is left unsaid; therefore, there is 「・・・・・」.

4. No. You are reading too much into this. 四谷(よつや) is just the name of an area in Tokyo. You probably got confused because it has a number in it.

5a. 「ならず」 is a literary way of saying 「ならない」.
If 孔明 is the guy's name, it means:
"Volume: The World of Encounters for Koumei. No, not quite."

5b. No. Notice it is added to a verb, not a noun.
It means "one's innate character".


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
