It's raining hard all day.
I usually ride my bicycle to work, but on rainy day like today, I take a crowded bus or a crowded train.
It is inconvenient, so I prefer sunny days.

But,the gentle sound of rain is comfortable.
The sound of rain falling on the umbrella is beautiful.
It makes me a little bit pleasant :)

Let's enjoy lovely rainy days!

Hey, I love walking in the rain too (just sometimes, too much is not good for health). That's so fabulous.

Thank you so much!
I'll remember the new word (for me) "Rainless".

That's my pleasant.
By the way, could you please tell me somehow to convert a Japanese name into Latin letters.
I have some Japanese names (in Japanese characters, those complicated symbols they all realize me but I do not realize any of them ^_^) but don't know how to pronoun, and how to do a searching on internet.

And vice versa, if I have a Japanese name, say Naoto Kan, how I change it into Japanese characters (for the sake of curiosity, sometime I also wonder how a Japanese name do look like).

Thank you in advance.

Well, Japanese is written in three types of characters- Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.
Both Hiragana and Katakana have 48 characters each, which represent single syllables [=sounds, way to read].
On the other hand, there are a lot of Kanji(more than 10000). 1 Kanji has 2 or 3 or more syllables, and there are many Kanji that have the same syllable.
Most Japanese name are written by Kanji, so a name could have some ways to read (of cource, 1 person has 1 name). Then when we first meet someone, we sometimes pronounce his/her name incorrectly.
In addition, names pronounced the same could be distinguished by their differences in Kanji.

So, a Japanese name could be converted into Roman letters (alphabet).
Also, someone's name in other countries could be converted into Hiragana and Katakana, and proper Kanji phonetic equivalent to them.

For your information, each Kanji has a meaning, so parents put their hopes or love into their child's name.

Naoto Kan -> 管 直人 (I wish your computer handles Japanese characters)

Wow, that's pretty complicated.
However, "Naoto Kan -> 管 直人": my computer as well as I can handle these characters, since I know a little bit Chinese.
"直人" means a straightforward man, I guess that, right?
So, these charaters "管 直人" are so called Kanji in Japanese language?
Thanks for your explanation in detail ^_^.
