Terms of Use

Effective November 12, 2026.

PERAPERA (perapera.nihongoism.com) is run by Myers Media LLC of Las Vegas, Nevada. By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

The service

PERAPERA is a free reference and practice site for the Japanese words that sound like what they mean. We may change it, add to it, or stop it at any time. We try to keep it accurate, but it is a learning aid, not an authority: entries can contain errors, and material marked as AI-generated (pictures, example sentences) may be wrong.

Using the site

You may use PERAPERA for your own learning and share links to its pages freely. You may not copy the site wholesale, resell its content, interfere with its operation, or use automated tools to load it at a rate that burdens it.

Content and licenses

The word list comes from JMdict, © the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group, used under its license (CC BY-SA 4.0); what we derive from it stays under that license. Usage figures come from NINJAL's Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese. The Pera Pera posts, the pictures, the audio, and the site's own text, design and code are © Myers Media LLC, all rights reserved. Nihongoism and PERAPERA are names of Myers Media LLC.

Text messages

We may offer an optional text message service: a Japanese word of the day and study reminders, sent by Myers Media LLC from a United States toll-free number. These terms apply to it:

• You receive texts only after you enter your mobile number and ask for them. By doing so you confirm that you are the subscriber or authorized user of that number and at least 13 years old.
• Frequency is at most one message a day. Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts; you will get one confirmation. Reply HELP for help, or write to info@nihongoism.com.
• Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• How we handle your number is described in the Privacy Policy.

Other sites

Links to other sites (Substack, Kanjiism, Buy Me a Coffee and others) are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or terms.

No warranty and limits on liability

PERAPERA is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, Myers Media LLC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your inability to use it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, United States.

Changes

If these terms change, the new version appears here with a new effective date. Using the site after a change means you accept it.
